Bloody hell, I never knew Escrow was so big or so profitable.

JPMorgan do a roaring trade in Escrow.

http://www.mmmtechlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2010-MA-Holdback-Escrow-Report2.pdf-Adobe-Acrobat-Professional2.pdf

This market is not worth $billions each year. Its worth bloody $trillions, each day.

The most popular transactions, given what JPMorgan do, are below $1m and the average life of an escrow is 18months. We need to be adding interest and fees. lol.

Talk about money for old rope.

ServiceNodes could be turning over $100m/month. That's $1,200 / month in fees and interest for each servicenode. Sod digital cash.

Rich I tell you. We could all be stinking rich.

Make it so. Please make it so.

That's what I'm talking about!

I voted for Escrow simply because I could use it for about every other transaction I'm doing... if this could be made simple and integrated in the wallet, no problem paying fees whatsoever...

Clearly, you're much smarter than me. Voting on the basis of need, rather than guessing what the market might want. Props to you.

I've changed my vote, even if I can't technically change it without resetting the survey.

It's real interesting that escrow is so popular

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10656234

How would ServiceNodes deal with dispute resolution? Would they need to?

How would an escrow transaction be finalised?

Seems to me that ServiceNodes get to vote on releasing funds....with the multi-sig feature (up thread). It also sounds like (to me) ServiceNodes offering Escrow is a relatively easy win. Perhaps all they have to do is be a third party to a multi-sig transaction. Not bad for a 0.5%-2% fee.

Perhaps those guys that got scammed on Evolution for 130k BTC could have been saved if SPR ServiceNode Escrow was available.

Very interesting discussion.

Seems like ServiceNodes could be an impartial third party to an escrow. You could do a fall back to an arbitration service if sellers and buyers do not agree on something.

Either way, buyers and sellers pay ServiceNodes for the service. Add a little obfuscation for the IP addresses and it could be a relatively easy win.

Maybe add a shapeshift type service to allow escrow between crypto currencies, crypto and fiat and even just fiat to fiat transactions.

If they could ramp up over 2-3 years to do $10m per month, at an average of 0.25% in fees, the network could earn $300,000 / month or $3m-$4m/year. The network is currently worth $30k!

1,400 ServiceNodes in the network would each earn $200 / month. If you had 20 servicenodes, that could be your full time job Wink

The value of the global escrow service must run into $billions. We are only talking about a rounding error in that market and you still get a highly profitable use case.

He put in just about 6 months worth of effort, not counting any pre commencement work.

Before MrSpread "left", did he get multisig to work on SPR?

I saw this earlier

https://github.com/spreadcoin-project/spreadcoin/commit/651a520d03a827adfcff6689affce57a90b11ed6

The presence of multisig_tests.cpp in the test suite is somewhat suggestive, I feel.

Not yet tried it, here's the Darkcoin HOW-TO: http://wiki.darkcoin.qa/display/DRK/Multisignature+example

Dunno yet, but please add it as an issue ticket to the spreadcoin github repos: https://github.com/spreadcoin/spreadcoin/issues so that any consequent technical discussion has a half-decent chance of remaining coherent.

Crypto since 2014

Quote from: e1ghtSpace on March 17, 2015, 05:51:07 AM

I am going to say this again but very simply... (how to remove pools)

We make it so that block is just a hash and does not relate to a mining address at all.

Then once a miner finds a valid block, we somehow get masternodes to confirm that a specific address mined it. (the miner submits his address to the masternodes with the block data)

This means that when a pool's miners finds a block, the block finder can swap out the pool's address with his address when he submits it to the masternodes. No one will know if he was mining as part of the pool or not because the submitted block has no information that relates it to the pool.

C'mon whats wrong with it this time?

Pretty good interview with Evan @ DASH.

Master Nodes are pretty much open ended in what they can do.

Lets launch a crypto symbol standard, rather than having to work to the existing international currency standards (fuck'em).

Done. See the repos maintained by github org DOACC.

To set the context: this is the core of the existing international currency standard 4217:
ISO 4217

Quote

ISO 4217:2008 specifies the structure for a three-letter alphabetic code and an equivalent three-digit numeric code for the representation of currencies and funds. For those currencies having minor units, it also shows the decimal relationship between such units and the currency itself.

fragment of XML rendering:

Code:


  
    
      AFGHANISTAN
      Afghani
      AFN
      971
      2
    
    
      ÅLAND ISLANDS
      Euro
      EUR
      978
      2
    
...

DOACC
The cryptocurrency domain has DOACC (Description of a Cryptocurrency), an exhaustive collection of metadata about cryptocurrency (incl trading symbol) supported by a couple of accompanying ontologies (DOACC and CCY) that precisely define the metadata terms (e.g. “symbol”) using a computationally-tractable representation (OWL). The project maintains an RDF graph representation of the metadata for over 2000 altcoins.

The metadata description and the collection are under an open source licence and use a purl.org URL (group-owned eventually, if'n'when purl.org admins allow).

Minkiz presents the DOACC graph as a Linked Open Data that is both browsable:

https://minkiz.co/page/Repository/Da0770ce7-0c77-4295-b225-a54a277a7828

and queryable as a SPARQL endpoint.

Try pasting the query below into the text box on https://minkiz.co/sparql, it'll return the DOACC URI, name and symbol for the first 25 coins, ordered by symbol:

Code:

PREFIX skos: 
PREFIX doacc: 

SELECT ?node ?label ?symbol WHERE 
{ ?node skos:prefLabel ?label . 
  ?node doacc:symbol ?symbol . 
}
ORDER BY ?symbol 
LIMIT 25

or use this canned query link

http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=46121

ServiceNodes can be the guardians of the universal crypto standards and people would need to make an application for inclusion based on simple rules, like: 'well, no one else is using it'

Why?

Well, partly because its an international club and you have to be approved by someone in a suit who imposes too many complex and self grandiose rules. Fuck'em.
Partly because it costs a lot. Fuck'em.
Partly because crypto is about more than currency. Oh, yeah baby. still, fuck'em.
Partly, just because and they didn't reach out to crypto. So, fuck'em.
