Does it bother anyone that there is no real price discovery in this "market"? There's no competition from miners, just one supplier... so the price can get driven up ridiculously because there's only one seller... Between the risk that they may not deliver and walk away (tons of counterparty risk) the fact that ETH will be very available and plentiful upon launch, and mining will be ready to rock and roll, and maybe even multi-mining for profit where people sell right away... I just don't see it.

I'd be interested if an escrow is involved. Also the Co-Pay Beta might be a good way to facilitate this. How would I go about this?

I'm interested. pm'ed you...
