2. When the server was banned, did it also affect the bot? If yes, how did you handle ongoing escrow deals that had not yet been closed?
3. What guarantees a user that your bot won't rip them off?
2. Yes, people where not able to release or return their funds because they where not on the server anymore, we had 1 deal opened and they contacted us and we were able to release the funds.
3. The bot is managed by me and only me so they have to trust only one person. On my side I've secured the server hosting the bot and applied strict protocols. And I've added a security feature so that when I need to force the release or return of funds, I'm prompted for a 2FA code in the case that my Discord account is hacked.
