When I was reading an article, I came across a disadvantage of bitcoin that stated that there "No Chargebacks or Refunds" in bitcoin transactions. What do you think can be the way forward in solving this problem? Many, regardless of whether you are pro-bitcoin or anti-bitcoin, your interest is in making sure that transactions where currency is involved have a Charge-back or Refund policy.
Below is what the article said on this point: "No Chargebacks or Refunds"
One of Bitcoins biggest drawbacks is a lack of standardized policy for chargebacks or refunds, as all credit card companies and traditional online payment processors have. Users affected by transaction fraud for instance, they purchase goods that the seller never delivers cant request a refund through Bitcoin. In fact, Bitcoins decentralized structure makes it impossible for any single party to arbitrate disputes between users. While miners take responsibility for recording transactions, theyre not qualified to assess their legitimacy.
Some newer cryptocurrencies, such as Ripple, have rudimentary chargeback and refund functions, but this feature has yet to be built into Bitcoin.
Simple, implement a unique smart contract that is witnessless, capable of fulfilling the agreement to transact only upon some certain required conditions being met, agreed upon by the two or more parties involved with the transaction. This way, the payment will be negligible if the conditions aren't met, thereby issuing a reimbursement.
Now if only I was tech smart, luckily we have such a diverse community of crypto enthusiasts, someone will certainly fix this issue. I'm sure their are already protocalls out that tack such a problem as this.
