Most importantly this campaign should help us achieve a strong Anonymity Set, which as discussed before is the only weak link remaining to be dealt with. At the same time the growing multi-sig balance will also give us a great chance to prove that we're not here to steal anyone's funds so after some time most concerns in this regard should be eliminated. We understand some may still have doubts and if there are any specific questions you want answered do not hesitate to ask.
The 40,000 DAI are still in escrow with minerjones and we are able to send much more than that if the risk of us stealing the funds proves to be the problem, but at a certain point our users would have to trust us regardless until we completely decentralize the service so we are not sure it makes much sense to do that.
If you have the capital to put more than the expected amount that will be "staked" into an escrow, I would suggest doing so.
I believe that there will be far greater participation if there is no doubt that participants will receive their coins back one way or another.
As @LoyceV stated, the escrow deal should be made public/transparent and tied to no real complaints being made by participants.
Just curious, are you planning to launch a targeted signature campaign for that purpose to gain visibility for the campaign?
