Something like escrow smart contracts?

How can you trust it? Like how does it resolve if I got my Weird Al toupee from eBay? Is it if someone shipped me a box? Smart contracts make sense when there's a large, public event.

  • You could use a trusted arbiter key and both parties have an open choice to find a mutually acceptable arbiter.

    • This. So basically like Visa/MC nowadays, except optional and you’re not locked into the one you’ve got your card from.
