Clarify voting weight decay and bsq staking #162

That's great @m52go. I also think that how the reputation is tracked is important here. Bisq contributors often move into new directories and bring along their fiat Account Age info. I imagine they'd like to do the same for their Reputation, when starting on a new directory. |
Reputation cannot be transferred from one wallet to another. This commit adds notes to the user reference and user guide so users are aware.

@huey735 I clarified with Manfred that reputation cannot be transferred. It's tied to the wallet that issued the BSQ. I've added this information to both the user reference and user guide, so users are aware and can arrange accordingly. |

Great, this helps a lot. It may also be worth to clarify what is the "clock" the Bisq Network uses for the decaying. It's understood that in 2 years the reputation will decay to zero and that it decays linearly. From the example you gave, it implies that 1 cycle = 1 month.
* 9,583 one month after earning it ( 10,000 - (10,000/24) ≈ 9583.33 )
But precisely what is it that triggers the decay? Is it the end of the cycle? If so it may be worth mentioning that in the future if the cycles duration is altered so will be the quotient of the decay at the end of the of cycle. And that 2 years = 12 cycles and not 365/366 days.
@huey735 does this address some of your points from #145? I know it doesn't cover everything, but I'm not sure we need the level of detail suggested there.
