In anticipation of acceptance of the contract attached as a signed LaTeX document, with Dabs having been chosen as escrow (I understand his service is historical but our relationship goes back many years and I trust him despite his debts to others), I am making this thread to keep a record of the process of the transfer of the domain 420CHAN.ORG.

The PDF file itself is attached as armored, clearsigned base64, as well.

\item Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell, transfer, and assign to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of Seller's rights, title, and interest in and to the Domain for the purchase price of four thousand and two hundred United States dollars, US\$4,200 (the ``Purchase Price'').

\item The Purchase Price shall be payable by Buyer to Seller in Ethereum, in accordance with the payment process described in Section 5 of this Agreement.
\end{enumerate}

\section*{2. Buyer's Obligations}

\begin{enumerate}[label=\textbf{2.\arabic*}]

\begin{enumerate}[label=\textbf{5.\arabic*}]

	\item The Escrow Service shall hold \$420 of the total Purchase Price in trust for the 3\textsuperscript{rd} Party Beneficiary, non-signatory to this Agreement, for up to one calendar year (365 days) following the completion of the transaction. The 3\textsuperscript{rd} Party Beneficiary may choose to claim or not claim the amount held so in trust for her at her discretion within the specified time frame.

	\item Upon confirmation by the Escrow Service that the Purchase Price in Ethereum has been received, the Escrow Service shall release the Domain to Buyer and the Purchase Price minus the amount held in trust for the 3\textsuperscript{rd} Party Beneficiary to Seller. If the 3\textsuperscript{rd} Party Beneficiary claims the amount held in trust within the specified time frame of one calendar year (365 days), the Escrow Service shall release the claimed amount to her.
