However, I think it's essential to have clear terms and conditions and a secure way to handle the funds.

Op already made the terms clear, they are charging a 7.5% commission, and they consider themselve to be 'reputable' enough to handle the funds. Of course i disagree, there is no reason why anyone should trust op yet with this, we have also been waiting for op to prove the claims they made that they have already had a few customers, but they have not done that yet.

Look I offer a service which some might be interested in. We've had 7 Games already and 4 people participated.

Post links to games (which you claim to have conducted successfully) and payments.

I agree.  If you make a claim, you need to back it up, or we will not trust anything you say.

There are two of you asking for links to his claims, but he failed to provide them, and I don't think he has proof because he will post them right away when he makes the claims, so we cannot trust anything he says now.

A 7.5% commission has been mentioned, but the specifics of fund handling are still unclear. For instance, they could clarify whether they will use a 2-of-3 multisig setup or a regular address for receiving payments. Using a regular address for receiving payments, for example, could potentially put users at risk, as a scammer could simply run off with the money.

Even if op uses a 2-of-3 multisig wallet that they control all keys, then it changes nothing, except op is going to control one key and his customers will control another key. However, i don't think a multisig wallet is in op's plans, if it was then they would have told us, op just wants us to believe that they are reputable enough to handle this.

You can't just claim you are reputable because you say so and because you promise you can be trusted with holding other people's money. You are not needed to hold the money in the first place, let alone keep 7.5% of it as commission. Compared to you who is brand-new and no one knows you, Bitcointalk has many trusted escrow agents who have been members of the forum for years. Their commission for escrow deals is around 1%. No offense, but if I needed an escrow, it's very clear to me who I should contact.

I am making a different comment to the escrow ones recently posted.

What were to happen if one of the players were cheating by using a different device to enter all the moves in to (such as a grandmaster type software) and then use the computer moves to enter in to the duel? Effectively it would mean a grandmaster playing against a lesser opponent. That is of course unless both players are using the same tactics in trying to beat each other.

If money is involved, you just assume each player is cheating - simply because they can.  The only way to "catch" them is to run the exact simulator they are running and get a large enough dataset to prove.   But then what?   lol

In my opinion, that is the best way to look at it because if they are playing from different locations (in other words not sitting directly opposite each other) then cheating has to be a serious option. Add money (or any prize) to the equation then the word cheat/cheating is compounded. As it would be impossible to catch cheats in the act, they both would proclaim innocence as well as playing honestly.

In the end I suppose the winner would be the opponent using the better grandmaster software

What an odd picture.   Why would you let someone else into a private washroom with you?

Hey there,

Just wanted to drop in and say that the idea of an escrow service for chess players is pretty cool! It could definitely add some excitement to the game. However, I think it's essential to have clear terms and conditions and a secure way to handle the funds.

OP could have done it if he had done it the right way. Since he opened this thread in project development, he should first ask for suggestions on how to implement an effective escrow service in Telegram because his services have loopholes. He then bragged that he already had players using his services, but when asked about proof, he vanished.
So, we can conclude that he cannot prove that he already has users; this is a lesson learned that if you are posting about the effectiveness of your service, then you should ready your proofs

Escrow service for chess players to play against each other for price money deriving from the 2 players.
Player 1 and Player 2 will arrange a match and stipulate the rules as well as each players contribution. The winner takes all less 7.5% Commision.

Edit: To all the people talking about me being a newbie and shouldn't be trusted:
No disrespect to the forum but there is a life out there and your status on this forum is not a measurement of anyones Integrity. Also if I wanted to scam people then this would not even be top 10 of my best ideas. I love chess. The Commision isnt there to make me rich. I. Doing this because I feel This will develop the game and add another element of fun to it.
Also if I scam 1 game then surely word will get out and it will be the end of my business. It will be stupid.

It's actually funny to see that you would undermine the ranking and trust system of this forum to what will benefit you personally. Do you understand that every system or site has there ways of rating people and if you're not up that standard then there is every likelihood to get you shifted from the scale since you aren't that identiable to the overall system. And of course why would someone entrust you with their funds or their hand earned money while there are other reputable users they would used as an escrow without having to pass through random user who recently make account here to start asking for escrow for playing chess.

OP needs to show evidence or proof to all that they claim. We need to advise ourselves on how to handle issues that have to do with finance and money. Any project you intend to go into today, that requires you injecting your funds however tiny, will also require some level of in depth proof from the side of the project owners and a good degree of trust from the users.

I'm not doubting the reputation of OP's chess project and I'm also not saying their commissions are bad enough, since what they charge as a commission is what I see obtainable in so many businesses out there, but both the project owners and the users needs to build a strong level of trust and understanding before injecting any funds.

The OP has not been back online in 6 weeks. They tried what looked to be a scam and got called out on it and disappeared.
If at this point they come back they are going to have to show proof every step of the way on how they do things.
At a guess, not going to happen.

The OP seems to have left the forum again. He took a three year break from the forum between 2021 and 2024 before creating this thread and it seems as though after making three posts and ascertaining he will not receive any traction, investment or customers/clients on his Telegram, he has decided to take another break from the forum.

I do not know what his real motive is for posting here but the negative tag he received from Vod shows that he has tried to ask for money in the past. I would not trust the OP regardless of what he claims.
