As a buyer, I've been wanting to see multisig become the standard for a long time. I don't like depositing coins with markets, and I don't like having to FE. With markets exit-scamming, and customers not releasing funds in a timely manner, I would think vendors would be all over multisig. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Most of the "multisig" systems we've seen have been bullshit, where you're still stuck sending money to a wallet controlled by the market. When markets actually try to do it right, they either get ignored or stomped. We've recently had a couple of markets try to bring multisig. One got torn up and shut down. The other one is still open, but only has a few vendors.
Now, we're finally seeing a couple of the existing markets implementing multisig, but they've been dragging their feet forever. Also, the speed that they implemented it with after that last multisig market showed up and got a little attention seems to mean they've had the ability to do this for a while, and chose not to. Why do we keep putting up with the bullshit of FE, and market exits, and vendors selectively scamming when there are alternatives? Why are we so hostile / apathetic toward markets that try to bring us technology that would benefit us so much? Just imagine not seeing tons of "IS [xx] EXIT SCAMMING???" threads every time a site has a few hours of downtime. Imagine not having to be afraid your money is gone every time a vendor doesn't ship or reply to your messages right away.
I am surprised at the lack of interest. I would think people would flock to multisig to keep their money safe. I am especially surprised at the vendors. Why do they seem so disinterested in something that protects them as much as it protects their buyers? Is it that they don't want to spend a little time learning a new way to do things? Is it that they figure they can withdraw after every transaction, and they just don't give a shit? I am really curious. It just seems like going to multisig solutions is a no-brainer. I think the buyers would go where their vendors go. I know I would always choose to buy form my favorite vendors on multisig sites if there were a choice between multisig and traditional.
Look at all the threads about being selective scammed. There is your answer. Vendors don't want multisig because it forces them to play by the rules.
