What is burning man fee routing satscraper?

I know about fee routing in general, but I don't think I have ever seen this particular term used in the context of Bitcoin transactions before.

A simple explanation will be enough.

This is Bisq specific notion.

Burning Man fee routing decides how BTC trade fees are distributed among eligible Bisq receivers.

Some receivers are manually configured and always paid as set.

The rest are DAO contributors, picked at random with better odds for bigger contributors.

This release added a check, i.e. DAO derived picks must be on the trusted address list, and any shortfall goes to the safe backup address instead.

So the trading scheme looks like following. If the trade fee is paid in BSQ  then no Burning Man routing involved. But If you choose the trade fee in BTC then  Burning Man fee routing kicks in, to decide eligible Bisq entity or address receives it.

Bisq was elevated to v.1.10.5 that can be taken as must have update because relevant  researchers found some weak spots in how Bisq checks votes, account reputation, and trade messages ^{which that could theoretically be faked or tampered with}, so this release closes those gaps before anyone could actually exploit them.

UPD. v1.10.5  has bugs, so they released hotfix, namely v1.10.6

As it was already mentioned a few days ago Bisq users faced the important security release, namely v.1.10.6 with lot of hot fixes, but patch work didn't stop and today  v.1.10.7 release emerged.

User must treat both release as one urgent update.

The chain started because 1.10.5 shipped with serious bug in the DAO data storage that could corrupt local data and cause altcoin trades to fail. 1.10.6 fixed that bug and also tightened up how the app handles Bitcoin transaction broadcasts and seller deposit publications, but it turned out  that 1.10.6's fix didn't fully clear out already corrupted DAO databases on some nodes, so 1.10.7 release makes sure old corrupted data gets properly cleaned up.

Fresh Bisq release, namely 1.10.8 which patches security issues found in the recent audit, so everyone needs to update to keep trading.

 The fixes mostly tighten how refunds and payouts are verified so fake or replayed claims get rejected.

Trading itself got some smaller fixes too, like correct handling of altcoin amounts and deposit checks. The update also improves shutdown stability and updates Tor to the latest version.
