Everyone on this sub has been talking about multisig markets for a long time but it still hasn't happened.
Something I noticed that hasn't been mentioned is, wouldn't multisig make it easy to link market deposits directly to transactions? And I think that's a bigger problem than risk of exit scams.
No. It wouldn't make it easier. Because there are any number of ways to immediately make the trail go cold that aren't hard or abnormal. It's certainly a scary new territory and I'm sure many are unwilling to fully embrace the implications but that doesn't really mean much. There are vendors who've been multi-sig adopters for a long while now. Hansa, East India Company, Outlaw, Valhalla all offer a decent or better multi-sig. Once one or two markets more take their leave you very same people will not only be okay with it, but demand it as a basic quality and those who don't want to keep up will be increasingly irrelevant in all likelihood. But then again I'm just speculating.
