I do not disagree with the use of escrow as it installs trust. Unfortunately, this is not as cut and dry as one may think.
If DarkStar (or any other) is willing to sign a contract, and hand over KYC i.e. two forms of ID, proof of address (utility bill no older than 3 months or equivalent [and for each director of the comapny]) and have on hand a valid tax return for the past financial year (personally or for their company), we can work with them. Otherwise, we can not risk working with individuals who wish to remain anonymous and at the same time handle our funds. If for any reason the individual or company we use is in any way linked to drug money, fraud, money laundering, etc. we stand to lose more than a few bucks thrown at a marketing campaign.
You are the ultimate decision maker for your business but the things you are asking from an escrow here, it does not work like this in
this community. This is a crypto currency community. We are very sensitive with our privacy. Our trust is in cryptographic proofs and blockchain which is publicly accessible, nothing hidden there.
I surely can not speak for DarkStar_ or any other escrow in this forum but I believe the following will be true for all of them:
If you ask them to handover their ID and stuffs to you then you will hear a "no" however if you ask them to sign a Bitcoin address which they have staked here which proves it's really them and their history in this community then I am sure they will be more than happy to offer you their service. You need to accept the culture of a community if you want to business with them.
Talking about drags and money laundering and all these stuffs, I am not sure how it's relevant with your service. You need someone who will hold your fund for you and will use the fund as per your given terms.
I trust this is clear. If you do not agree, then we will simply not work with you.
Of course your message is clear but your expectation is unrealistic. You are trying to step-in in a community without respecting their culture.
