CfB,
How long would it take for you to implement an escrow API? Not sure of all the arguments I need, but at the high level:
escrow NXT for acct # -> [transaction id]
release escrow [transaction id] -> NXT is transfered to acct #
probably need a cancel escrow [transaction id] that only receiving acct # is able to submit without error.
I would imagine that on escrow, the NXT is sent to special acct and upon release (or cancel) it comes out of the special acct.
