Aaron, well let me first say you are extremely expressive. You have given a cogent, logical, reasonable, respectful answer. And I totally thank you for it.
Let me cut to the bottom line as I do get super busy and I did read everything. First off, I am 100% absolutely NOT in it for the fame. In fact the fame bothers me as I just had my account hacked yesterday and had my reputation propagandized. It was a good opportunity there to divorce myself from my ego by the way. I'm doing this to make the world a better place. You might totally think that is cliche and not true but it is. That is why I got interested in making unbreakable contracts and it's why I worked so hard to teach myself Python. There is like almost no guarantee my plan will favor the honest people, but that is my plan. To make a system that favors us by making "unbreakable" contracts. If my software inspires someone else to copy it and it becomes used everywhere I've succeed and could care less if the world thinks I'm the lowest of subhuman scum or they call me Hitler, whatever. Doesn't matter. It would be nice to live a happy life and accepted but that isn't material to why I did this.
Your suggestion to have orders list without putting up a deposit might work lets say if the seller essentially received only counter-offers.
Your response was so excellent that I clearly understand you, your motives and what you were trying to say and how you wanted to use the software. Yes it's okay to open the escrow window, the software is just telling you that your completion request was final and it considers the deal done but that doesn't mean you can't open the panel and send more requests or chats. And yes, I did appreciate your suggestion. Like I said maybe if they all came in as counter-offers in your case a seller would want to list multiple jewels and yet his volume shouldn't exceed what he holds in his account because his wide variety of selection. I can now see why you perceive that as a flaw. And perhaps at some point way in the future when I have free time, I can revisit that suggestion.
Lastly you said you were interested in only using BitBay. Then really you are the kind of sellers and users we are looking for. That is even better. We already have lots of investors, we could use some real power sellers.
You mentioned that the volatility effects you as a seller on BitBay. However did you know you can simply have BitBay as the DEPOSIT ONLY and then accept Bitcoin, Cash, Tether, or really anything you wish as a payment method? Basically what you are looking for is the use of my barter template.
The way to make a basic barter is to set the buyers deposit to twice the item value and you set 1x. Then when you ship, he pays in X (Bitcoin, Cash, whatever) and then you may either cancel or confirm the contract (since the net effect is the same)
Please let me know what you think of that.
And sorry also if I missed something or if I seemed defensive or anything like that. You are right, it's good advice. You are just "John Q Public" because me as a dev I'm supposed to consider all users in this way. It's not easy to be politically correct all the time either. I'm not particularly well known for having a filter haha.
I get a lot of feedback so it does get really tiring when I finish one thing and two more tasks pop up. So only for that reason do I say it's hard work and hope as a coder you can see that. Which clearly you do. In any case you can list and accept anything you want for your gems and are not required to take BitBay as payment only the insurance deposit. Also had BitBay gone up 30% in value would you have reacted the same way?
Anyways let me know what you think.
