Vote for escrow.com to accept bitcoin

[samadamsbeer]

Escrow.com is a leading service to escrow domain name sales. Vote here to show support to accept Bitcoin! Would be useful  since many of their transactions are international.

My comments I posted awaiting the mod:

With the advent of Bitcoin Escrow.com is no longer needed.  With Bitcoin all you need is a "mediator", not an Escrow agent.  A 3-person transaction can be set up so that if 2 of the 3 agree it is completed.  The buyer funds the transaction and it is verifiable by the seller.  If everything goes through they both agree and the money is released. If there is a dispute they call in the mediator who decides who gets the funds.  The mediator never gets full control of the funds and is only needed if there is a dispute.  Why would I need escrow.com anymore?

That's pretty much the definition of an escrow (mediator). Their role remains necessary.

Did you see the guy's comment?

"With Bitcoin we may run into regulatory issues".

Fuck you, EFF, for being the first to disseminate such FUD.

Even Wordpress accepts Bitcoin, what would escrow.com have to fear? Making more money??

I'd put up the Bitcoin version but apparently they only want nasty fiat.
