Hi,

I have not read the whole thread in the links but if it is a 2of2 MultiSig then it is the initial concept i tried out which turned out that it is unsafe regarding blackmail.
as the deposit is async the party with less money locked can blackmial the other in sending a pre-signed blackmial payout tx. that way its rational to accept the blackmail.
If the concept you mentioned is differnt to that what I assumed, can you describe it quickly? I don't have much time yet for reading too much...

Thanks HostFat!
Here is also a short summary of the current state of the project:

Maybe the connection problems with UPnP was the first problem of the initial release, and this could had heavily affected the fundraising.

Maybe but I think at the end not so many users tried out the alpha version. At least in the WAN testing sessions there have not been many.

I'm looking very forward to ongoing development of Bitsquare and have recently (well, late last year) brought it up in the BCN forum, at:

https://bytecointalk.org/showthread.php?tid=274

I'll be in touch via the github (will probably volunteer for testing which looks like it needs help?), translation, and mailing list.  Cheers!
