Science!
I like the idea, but if you hold funds as an escrow, then are you not acting as an agent in the transaction?

Just go read bitcoin-otc , i think the OP reinvented it.

One huge advantage of such an organization would be not running afoul of the law since the organization wouldn't NOT be acting as a "money exchanger" and need to be registered with FinCen, for example.  I would act as a moderator who would facilitate the matching of sellers of Bitcoin with buyers. 

That's not how that works.

BTC besT here again!


I want to reference you to www.gofundme.com/37kimv.

My vision is to institute an organization in which members support each other in the trading Bitcoins.  Instead of going to Mt.Gox for example, I want to match sellers of bitcoin with the buyers.

If you wanted to buy Bitcoin, I would review the list of all current sellers and find the best match for you.  Next, we put your money in an escrow account and upon successful transfer of the Bitcoin to the buyer the money would be released to the seller.  (Note, the seller will also be protected by means that I don't have the space to elaborate on right now.)  A private transaction has occurred among a "guild" of Bitcoin users who have organized a private organization. 

Eventually, I see the organization becoming a not-for-profit organization with it's primary purpose again focusing on liquidity, but offering other services such as Tax consulting, etc.
 

Please review the site and my idea and let me know if you have any interest or suggestions.


Thanks
