Title: Will somebody please create an escrow utility that accepts user defined inputs? Post by: cbeast on September 21, 2012, 02:34:11 PM What will it take to get someone to create a utility or website that broadcasts m-of-n transactions? Do we need to beg?!?

Post by: cbeast on September 21, 2012, 08:25:27 PM Meh, I'll just start believing all these groovy things Bitcoin is supposed to be able to do when I see them. Meanwhile I'll be entertained by all the scams and destruction of the centralized services. I just thought that escrows would give folks a little more faith in Bitcoin as a payment system. Vendors would benefit from a m-of-n escrow system, perhaps they might create a bounty for an "escrow here" button.

The hard part is coming up with a slick set of GUI extensions to the wallets people use that let you easily state which dispute mediators you want to use, lets you find/install new ones, lets the mediator view open disputes and resolve them, actually creating a dispute mediation company that has a solid set of processes and predictable ways to resolving disputes, etc.
Really, the n-of-m transactions is the easiest bit of all. Title: Re: Will somebody please create an escrow utility that accepts user defined inputs? Post by: FactoredPrimes on September 22, 2012, 05:08:11 PM Just when I think I am understanding bitcoin, n-of-m... Back to the docs for me!

Just a reminder that OT does two-way-trade as well as escrow-with-arbiter. (Both are simply smart contracts, with different user-defined scripts to provide their specific behavior.) There isn't a GUI yet (it's coming) but you can do it at the command line. Videos here: http://open-transactions-tv.github.com/ (http://open-transactions-tv.github.com/) |
