Hi guys! I found out about Bitcoin about a week ago and after reading and understanding about it I got hooked. Since I do PHP the obvious next step was to try and do something with Bitcoin and PHP. So I came up with this: http://eptiv.com/It's a simple and easy to use Bitcoin escrow service. Not sure if it works 100% as it should but I would appreciate it if you guys can give it a try and give me some feedback. PS. Works well on the iPhone too!

I like your method of releasing them (the 1% transaction fee.) Very neat. As you have only 2 posts however, and ClearCoin already exists, you may have to prove yourself a bit.

Since I wanted to make it as simple as possible, I didn't want users to have to register an account with Eptiv.com so I came up with this idea. As you have only 2 posts however, and ClearCoin already exists, you may have to prove yourself a bit.
Very true. It only takes time though. If I'm not asking to much of you could you spare 2 BTC to test the website? You can send the BTC to yourself and I'll pay you back the fee. Thanks!

Site is down. However, with ClearCoin having disabled all the charitable defaults, another escrow service would be interesting to try.

Brilliant! Default forward escrow.
So if I put MY wallet in the second cell, and the receiver's wallet in the third cell, I can actually send money with a 30 days delay, or cancel any time by paying a 1% fee.
Could you use a test version of your website and integrate it with the bitcoin testnet? You can get lots of free bitcoins on the testnet to experiment with, and the difficulty is lower too.

I think you got it wrong FOCA First of all you don't put any wallets anywhere, you just enter addresses. Second of all when you pay the 1% fee the money is released to the receiver.

Actually I'm being creatively exploitative with the way your site works to perform cheaper transfers and recover my money back if I want to You should look into it.

It's definitely a loop hole in the system however for most transactions I don't expect the seller to accept a 30 day delay if receipt of goods/services is much sooner then that, but if you can work it out you pay 0% unless you want to recover your funds downside being the other party should ask what the hell before sending the goods.

Ok, so I finally understand it but it really isn't a loop hole. The seller can see that it is not his Bitcoin release address on the transaction page so he won't send the product at all. So you would end up paying 1% to get your money back.

I am aware of the issue. The site has problems because it is hosted in-house. But now since it has gotten quite popular I am moving it to a proper host. Thank you your interest in eptiv.com.
