overall consensus was that self escrowing was no big deal
Or you can just disclose the fact that you're self-escrowing here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1022656By that logic it shouldn't affect your business much. Sounds like a fair deal. Full transparency, properly informed customers.
Sure, I can do that.
edit: How does this sound.
No representations are made as to the identity of the person you are trading with, this includes the possibility of trading with an alt of QS, as well as trading with someone other then you believe them to be. Regardless, I will stake my reputation on me resolving any disputes as fairly as possible while taking into consideration all available facts, and giving large amounts of time for both parties to gather/present any evidence.
edit2: I do plan on taking a break for a while, so it is kinda a moot point, at least for now, but I do see your point.
IANAL but to me that sounds like a reasonable explanation. I hope other escrows will add something like that, or the opposite, depending on their view on the subject.
