Title: listing with negative price for in escrow bitcoin exchange
Post by: fisher on December 07, 2011, 02:58 pm
I don't know if it would work, but could a seller post a listing with a negative price, so a buyer could only buy that listing if the seller had the coins to pay it in their account? that would put the coin transfer in escrow for moneypak echanges and such. that could stop situations like the SYG fiasco.


any thoughts?

This is a genius idea! It would really lessen the risk of buying bitcoins here, and SR would be able to get the additional escrow fees from all the bitcoin sales. I hope SR can find a way to implement it.
