Hello, my first suggestion would be to update you OP with contact information and terms you've come up with for trades, regardless of whether or not you end up starting a new thread in the Lending Section.
I also feel that any thread you start of an escrow/lending nature should NOT be self moderated. To me deleting posts, good, bad or indifferent hints of trying to hide something.
Well, i will not be the one personally doing trades but i have built a platform for that, to handle escrow, it is totally automatic and all i will do is maintaining, trying to integrate smart contracts, and adding multi-sig along the way, any idea on how to make multi-sig easier for users?
