The openbazzar model may work. With selling a good the seller sends 1x the transaction amount and buyer sends 2x the transaction amount.
Why not just open a micro payment channel both ways and and trade microbits until you reach the desired value? I don't like that double deposit escrow model where the buyer has to send double the amount and the seller the goods plus the value, I simply don't think that is commercially practical. Would love to be proved wrong but I know I would not use a service where I have to send double the value of the item I want to buy. I wonder if others find it viable?

I'd look elsewhere if I came across it, wouldn't object to using it if there was no other option (and it could be good to have as an option) but I'd prefer 1x the amount over it even if it meant a trusted third party.

I'm guessing "micro" could be set by the parties to a default percentage or whatever override level they are comfortable with - analogous to today's mixing level choices. Edit: Oops - doh - probably wouldn't work for purchase of goods, just for exchange of fungible-type stuff such as coins.

Would love to be proved wrong but I know I would not use a service where I have to send double the value of the item I want to buy. I wonder if others find it viable? I agree. I would not want to do this, and many would not be able to do this. Computer folks, generally themselves being middle or upper middle class, tend not to think in terms of what is possible for everybody else. I know that there have been several times when I *could not* afford to pay double for an item, then wait to get half back. A huge number of people, probably damn near most, live hand-to-mouth.

I think it is a big obstacle when looking to compete for mainstream users with Ebay, you can either buy this item on Ebay for its regular price or go to Open Bazaar and deposit double the amount and wait for half once the transaction finalizes. I think there are certain things that just can't be automated and escrow seems to be one of them. It could potentially be decentralized but you would still need humans involved in the process.

They're giving us the Silent Treatment! I'm feeling sad already If anyone wants to play wack-a-troll there's a new phenomenon described here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1278196.0It's not the same game as "our" trolls play, but it's a challenge to catch them before others do - almost like a good twitch game. The mods are VERY quick to react to this particular breed of troll, and I've come to have considerable new empathy for the mods who have to deal with this stuff. I never did troll-jousting in this thread - my credo is to ignore them - but I've tried to do my bit reporting the new kind.

I don't want to read any more posts about "them". If you are suffering from withdrawal, go somewhere else and seek them out.

Bitcoin double top. Make or break. (b.t.w. Notice that square, slightly descending channel in the middle. I've been wondering about that for a couple of weeks. Looks like a massive holder doing a slow cash out or something - Huobi). If it hadn't been for that the correction looks like it would have been perfectly shaped. To me, that shows how bullish the market is right now. I think this rally has legs for the first time in nearly two years based on the massive volumes we've been seeing and apparent resistance to cave-ins. We may be seeing the next phase of growth.
