I would like to see functionality that allowed BTC purchases to be done entirely through escrow with MP. I envision a section of the site where any member can put up a listing without even having a vendor account. let's just call it the money market. It could even be a separate site. Basically, when a user enters the money market, they can post a listing for the amount of coin they need (with a fee for the site added obviously). Now, when someone buys that listing, instead of seeing the nym of who bought it, there will be a text box to enter the MP code, then they will be able to mark order as "in transit" They BTC will show as being in escrow, and once the MP code is cashed, the buyer then finalizes the transaction, and the BTC is transferred.
No more listings on the regular market where MP codes are sent via PM and there is no guarantee that the BTC vendor actually has the coins.
This would also allow vendors to cash out via MP directly to their own customers without the customers actually knowing which vendor is cashing out through them.
I hope that my idea is coherent because it works well in my mind. It doesn't even have to be in the main site, it could take the place of the armory... I heard it closed, but I never went there anyway, so it could still be open.
