I believe escrow is important and wanted to make it easy to use in the freelancing scenario so created https://reinproject.org. There are about 15 mediators listed in the app now. I've done about 10 jobs through the platform as a client and always used bitcointalk user bitspill who has been in the app for a while.

I would like to invite trusted escrow agents to setup a profile and link it to their account here so we have a little more redundancy in choice of agent.

Notes for mediators: You can set your fee as a mediator when you sign up though I wouldn't pay more than 1-2% personally. Since it's 2-of-3 multisig escrow, the mediator mostly doesn't have to do anything. The main thing is being responsive within a day or two when there is an issue. Finally, your fee is locked in a special escrow address that you as mediator must sign for a payment to be valid. That way the client and freelancer can't take your fee. As long as both of them aren't dishonest, you'll be paid.

PM me if you're interested or have questions.
