No one will trust an escrow service where the escrow agent can keep the funds. Nice try. Title: Re: Untouchable, invisible, scam proof bitcoin exchange service - prove me wrong Post by: HairyMaclairy on January 09, 2014, 09:43:38 PM I think it holds promise but should be redesigned so that the escrow agent cannot steal the funds. If the funds become in spendable until the matter is resolved this is probably the most obvious path.

That in itself is VERY insecure, not to mention, slow. 2.066 other sites use your shared IP. Think that's secure? I personally wouldn't touch this.

Title: Re: Untouchable, invisible, scam proof bitcoin exchange service - prove me wrong Post by: Sukrim on January 10, 2014, 10:35:43 AM One of the most common cases:
BTC buyer says: "I paid the bill for Seller, here's the bank transaction details, screenshot attached." BTC seller says: "Company never accepted the money, I still have to pay the bill, please abort!" How will you resolve this? Ask the company?! The BTC seller has no way until the next invoice comes to even see if the balance has been cleared - and even then, if people manage to reverse transactions later on (e.g. "I mistyped the invoiceID for my electricity payment, as you can see from your transaction records, my name is not even remotely Seller, but Buyer!") they still might get this charge added later another time. I don't see how this would be even remotely scam proof, sorry. Title: Re: Untouchable, invisible, scam proof bitcoin exchange service - prove me wrong Post by: fasbit on January 12, 2014, 03:32:37 PM I have created a service that I think might have potential www.Billex.me (http://www.Billex.me). Billex is peer-to-peer service that connects people who want bitcoins with those who want to pay their bills with them. Billex.me is Untouchable Bank accounts are the weak links in bitcoin exchanges. Even with P-to P exchanges its very simple find out the bank account of those who are doing most of the trading (trade with them once and you will get the bank account number). It’s then easy for bank to see who has bought bitcoins from that trader and even close the bank account . ??? Bank Accounts are the weak link? I don't know what you mean. I trade BTC daily without a "bank account." Are you talking about the people who use Local Bitcoins? And fund with bank account?

First person: Sends Bitocin Second person: Pays bill ==================== The two is on the hook, and at your mercy, before you say its fool proof make sure users have access to their funds, for example like localbitcoins.com, once two parties agree then your fund is released and everybody win. The site looks more like a classified website, i don't say its bad! it looks good, but other things should be added to gain confidence.. |
