No, let TC escrow it. No offense to you TheGr33k but if anyone is going to escrow this IMHO it should be Tomatocage or someone with equivalent trust as this seems like a large escrow. If TC's offer falls through I will offer to escrow as an impartial escrower.
I agree with you. If OP feels am not trustworthy and will run away with funds, its better he uses you or TC as escrow, Though I want to make it clear that I have no intentions of running away or harming anyone. OP even proposed a proposal saying he can escrow 2-Days funds and SIG. Campaign payment would be sent daily initially, I totally agree on that as it would increase trust between parties.
As per MZ's statement, I totally agree if TC escrows it will add on the problems, if any. I am contacting OP in PM. Waiting for his reply. He is offline as of now.
I will make a strong contract if he accepts me as escrow and will send a copy to you if you want to review it. It will contain terms and conditions.
TheGr33k, please understand that I trust you but the community must also trust you to hold the funds. I am waiting for DiamondCardz to respond if he agrees to host the funds for the entire week. If he doesn't, I will confirm you as escrow and send you 2-3BTC which should cover the maximum costs for 2-3 days and when the maximum costs exceed the funds in escrow, I will issue all payments without withdrawing the funds from escrow so they stay there as I issue payments so the escrow covers all active payouts. Please tell me if this is ok, I think this should be the best option for everyone if DiamondCardz refuses to act as escrow.
