Welcome to the JoinMarket wiki!
The idea behind JoinMarket is that holders of bitcoin will allow their coins to be mixed with in return for a fee. The mixing will happen in coinjoin transactions. They form a kind of smart contract which means your private keys will never leave your computer so there is no risk of loss (barring malware or bug*) Put simply, JoinMarket allows you to improve the privacy of your bitcoin transactions for low fees in a decentralized fashion Because of the fee paid, coinjoin mixing in JoinMarket will become a source of cash flow for owners of bitcoins.
As the risk is very low, the reward will also be low because of competition between fee-earners. It means that you will be eventually able to do a coinjoin very cheaply. We already see that holders of bitcoin are willing to earn very small amounts per day by lending on the bitfinex exchange, and that contains a substantial risk that bitfinex will go disappear.
