This whole issue is a very interesting case. this is the first case I know from trading real estate in btc. So lets see that as an interesting question and stop the frickin accusations. Let us figure out how such a deal could actually work.

Its totally useless and also impolite, mr Goat, to ask the OP at gunpoint 'escrow or no escow', for he could still use a pay processor like bitpay instead of trusting anyone on this forum. Also, this was an auctions thread thats now ruined and invalid because of all the scam spam in here. The actual business would be a matter of the buyer and the vendor and thus is none of your concern Mr. Goat. I have not seen a bid from you so why do you even bother?

So could we just leave those hostilities out of this thread and discuss how such a transaction actually could take place.

As I said before, it would benefit the bitcoin community if we'd be able to show that real estate dealings have been done successfully with bitcoin, so its in the interest of the whole community to see this happen.

So I'd like to ask ANYONE, no matter how much reputation he's got here, to work constructively to solve the matter.

If those crying for escrow could explain in a detailed manner how they imagine the deal to work with some anonymous third person as an escrow in regard of lawyers and notaries involved, because I think they compare real estate deals to regular deals on this forum and thats not the case. Also its pretty dumb and shows your pavlovian conditioning by all these spammers - which does not apply for this particular transaction.

also, maybe OP might describe in detail how he imagines the deal will be processed.

Again, this is a very interesting precedent and should not be disturbed by all those self-acclaimed scam-hunters who do no benefit here and actually ARE, willing or not, trolls ITT.
