Great contribution.
Aside from human escrow in place for guarantee financial transaction on the platform is there no automated system that can do the work of an escrow without having to trust a human being in the equation?
Many, this will be the same as online stores like Amazon or specifically digital goods like p-store
.net. Amazon will save the buyer's funds while instructing the seller to send the item. After the item is confirmed in the hands of the buyer according to the description, Amazon will release the funds to the seller.
But automatic escrow is certainly not recommended. Some systems have bugs that can be manipulated by users.
