This is a dumb idea and will only encourage the creation of an alternate buyer/seller thread without fees.
Please reconsider.
It's fine if we have a thread for the no fee people. But that market will still have the inefficiencies we have today where you must contact 8 people to find one who will genuinely do a transaction at the advertised price.
Prefunded offers can be accepted
without contacting the seller. This will go very far to reducing transactional friction.
It has nothing to do with fees. Fees or no fees, it will work great. Fees are up to Max and Pouncer. They have nothing at all to do with improving the system in place. I just happen to think they are well earned.
Max - When a person asks to place an order on the book, you can create two escrow addresses. Immediately send one to the guy wanting the offer placed. The other is published in the table. First guy to drop asked funds on the published address gets that which is on deposit in the coupled address. Deal done.
You can start with my order for 200MSC@.1999. Please send me an escrow address so I can deposit MSC now. Then, please light up the order in the book with a green colored background to indicate a 'prefunded order' - permitting instant acceptance.
