Title: Possible to use BitCoin as "escrow" system with Invision Power Board?
Post by: unkn0wn12 on May 21, 2012, 08:58:05 AM
I need something like that. Is that possible. How should i start? Don't worry i have IT guys who will make it if i won't be able to do it - probably i'm not.

I hope that everybody know how the escrow working. I need a forum's wallet as middle-man. And option for the buyer about delivery confirmation which will release funds to seller. Simple i think.

I mean that i want to make a script. I thought about blockchain.info API... What do you think about it?

BTCrow.com is just a service. I need an API to make a script.

I think you need to clarify what exactly you want to do. Myself (admittendly nota programmer) clearly did not understand what you are looking for or what purpose it would serve. :-)

1. Buyer will deposit money in BizCenter's BitCoin wallet.
2. Seller should see that the deposit has been made.
3. After both sides will check the deposit seller should send stuff to buyer.
4. After that buyer must confirm that he recieved ordered item (by hitting a button in the script).
5. After confirmation money will go to seller (automatically after hitting the button).

Will arbitration be involved in any way?

You have to secure the hell out of bitcoind. If you can't then just give new users pre generated bitcoin addresses in their welcome msg and do all transactions offline manually. Much safer

Or sit on jabber and take escrow

Buyer will not be able to chargeback deposited money without administration check (manual check - conversation with seller, etc, ofc everything will be in terms of services).

I need new bitcoin server - my own server? Or i can use other API like blockchain.info or something like that?
