Such a system will have to be publicly advertised, in the same way we
see centralized cryptocurrency staking shops buying ads all over the
place. That's how they'll make retail hodlers aware that renting out
your coins in this way is possible. If JoinMarket/Teleport users notice
such ads appearing then we could change the taker code to remove the
intermediate certificate keypair, and have the fidelity bond UTXO key
sign the endpoint (IRC nickname or onion hostname) directly. This
removes the possibility of fidelity bonds in cold storage. It would have
to be done for privacy, and it wouldn't be too bad. Right now there's no
cold storage solution for fidelity bonds yet JoinMarket has about 600
bitcoins locked up and advertised, which must be all on hot wallets.
