Before I start, I would like to leave you a word of advice. "BE TEACHABLE". What you think you know now, might just be garbage. Just don't be too hesitant to thrash it if need be.
I've tried to pitch my tent on your wall of text but, its not making an all round sense expecally at the last line with the smart guys and you being the judge.
About being an escrow, it seems you just know the word and perhaps have an idea of it but not certainly how it works. You don't just come up and want to be an escrow. The cryptocurrency is a field that functions based on trusts and blockchain verifications. Escorts must of all comes into play when a buyer and seller don't have trust in themselves hence, they sort out some trusted party to act in that regard and clearly, you don't just fit the bill.
The first part of being an escrow is being trusted yourself. Find your path to being trusted and then, you could hope for escrow services.
