- A concierge service that exclusively accepts bitcoin to get and deliver goods directly to you. Legal goods of course!
Do you like it? Would you use it?
trust is an issue. so as long as you are using it as a local service in your town. and the people in your town know where you live to sue you if you trn out to be a theif then great..
however if you want your personal life separate from your business life. you could simply ask people to sign a message using an address that has funds.. that way you know they can afford the goods (much like retailers balance check peoples debit cards/cheques. but funds dont move for a few days).
and then do payment on delivery. where they pay you at the door step before you hand over the goods.
escrows are another thing, look into localbitcoin as your mechanism for transfer
I'd be willing to be open and public so that my customers could be hidden. Yeah I agree, localbitcoins would be a good mechanism for transfer.
