If people don't like the escrow, don't participate in the campaign. Simple as that. He shouldn't be forced to use a certain escrow, bitcoiners should believe in freedom.

What freedom are you talking about, we have seen many scams in the forum and everyone will be skeptical if a newbie starts a campaign and then copies one of the managers design and words and then the OP took the escrow of a person who never did any escrow before and never willing to take any legit escrows here and now a newbie account vouching against it, everything seems legit Roll Eyes

my point was to show how ludicrous the escrow requirement is since it adds just an extra layer to be scammed under.

The escrows that were mentioned were reputed members in this forum who handled 1000 of bitcoins and how much amount you are planning to escrow, hopefully not more than i have mentioned for a campaign right Tongue

.

I have no doubt that the many reputable people would do a great job. We, however, have a culture clash here. By law, we need to do KYC on anyone offering a financial type service. By culture, no one offering such a service is going to provide the information we require. To hand over private information for a few lousy bucks is not worth it to them (I would not do it) and for us to do business with a third party for a few lousy bucks and break our contracts, is not worth it either.

So it will be better for everyone if we start our campaign small and show that we are trustworthy.
