I don't see how an escrow helps with the password issue.
I thought about this in the past, since I have like 3 Sr Member accounts that I don't use, in good standing. I only have to post with 1 account, so I thought some people could benefit from them. Some people can make good posts, but they don't get paid anything remarkable until you are Sr or above. If they rent it, they can start making profits and ROI in a reasonable time (so price would need to be cheaper than maximum monthly earnings in a decent paying sig campaing, otherwise they will not bother). The offer has to be attractive enough that it makes it better than starting an account from scratch.
But we still need to fix the password issue. I wish there was a way to lend an account, so other people can use it, but you are still in full control of the pass, in case something goes wrong.
Yeah definitely. If you can fix the password issue, then this idea would actually be practical and put into use. My idea would be that we could use an independent third party website to enter bitcointalk and post, without the user actually knowing the password of the account.
This problem though is really big since you're not dealing in person so the middleman carries all the risk.
