mircea_popescu: MJR_ no, not similar. very very dissimilar.
mircea_popescu: so escrow is a nonstarter there.
mircea_popescu: and once you do, they can just go and testify.
mircea_popescu: well that's because escrow could verify that a push was made.
mircea_popescu: hi.
mircea_popescu: MJR__ the issue are not the parties themselves, but the escrow. that's the leak here.
mircea_popescu: ask him, he'll tell you
mircea_popescu: gesell the script he;'s running is public.
mircea_popescu: which makes both the exact same thing, sobletters on the interwebs.
mircea_popescu: and without viable escrow, the deal simply is, "i ar anon, send monyz plz thx"
mircea_popescu: if it is anon then he can't verify. end of story.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing he can do. if he has a means to actually verify tx then it's not anon.
mircea_popescu: what does X do ?
mircea_popescu: A claims he's delivered 100 AAPL. B claims he never got it.
mircea_popescu: let's play this out cause apparently it's hard. A has 100 AAPL. B has 100 BTC. X is escrow.
mircea_popescu: MJR_ escrow is for btc ?!
