Title: Why Trust A Stranger With Your Funds? MultiSig MicroTrust Escrow

Why trust me? Don't!!! This is about reducing risk maybe you should ask your regular escrow provider to offer multisig escrow it's safer...

MultiSig MicroTrust Escrow/Arbitration (https://coinb.in/multisig)

EDIT: I wish I could take credit for this but all I did was host it. OutCast3k wrote the source. I have reached out to him to let him know what I did but have heard nothing. Full Credit goes to him.


When the transaction ends well and the buyer is satisfied, the buyer and the seller can sign a transaction together that releases the payment from the multisig address to the seller.
In case of a dispute, both parties can contact the 3rd party, explain their side of the story and ask him to approve a transaction that releases the payment in the manner they find fair.
The 3rd party can only approve a transaction that is signed by either the buyer or the seller, and cannot control the funds otherwise.

This is all done with the bitcoin-QT client as well.

I still cannot see https://bitcointaxi.co/multisig.html
The following is the error

Not Found

The requested URL /multisig.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

That's what had to be updated. It isn’t hosted at bitcointaxi.co any longer. I can't change the link in your post. You can. Just use the link up top or the one in my signature.

EDIT: Here are detailed instructions on how to do this with bitcoin-QT from Gavin Adresen.

I see. you need to change your https certificate now.

Yep I knew that was coming next. You'll have to talk to OutCast3k about that. It's his self signed certificate and his website.
I have one from GoDaddy and was hosting this myself using his api  but his api isn't working for me any longer so I had to point it back to him.

If you have any web dev skills maybe you could help me with my own api? I would offer some kind of bounty.

thank you for your sharing, but i think the third party is ok for me.
I always check their credit before making a deal with others.
