there's deadline after which we can get our money back?
we lose much time and buy from Zephir becomes each hour more interesting for us all.
I second the need for this. People will be more willing to commit if we can set a deadline. OP seems like a pretty busy guy, but most of us are interested in knowing by Friday.
Can we set a hard deadline for funds disbursed by 4/27 Midnight UTC and if this fails then JohnK distributes funds back minus 1% for being a good escrow and working diligently regardless of the problems?
Can I get votes yea or nay on this and can we do a tally?
Voting yes. I say we set a deadline for 24-36 hours from now. Everyone has had plenty of time to get their BTC in.
Alright, 4/27 Midnight UTC might be a little too fast (this is equivalent to 4/26 @ 7 PM PDT), as our two big pending contributors (that gets us over the 780 BTC) haven't communicated their timelines on the board on Friday.
JohnK, how quickly can you disburse funds if the timeline expires? I think if you can do it right away, we could set the deadline for 4.28.13 Midnight UTC, which is equivalent to 4/27 @ 7 PM PDT, or 50 hours from now. People are most interested in hitting the deadline set by Zefir here:

edit: Here is a quote from Zefir:
The buying window opens now and closes by end of this month, or precisely 2013-05-01T00:00Z (May 1st 2013, 00:00 UTC). So, 50 hours should be a rock solid estimate for those wishing to defect if we can't hit our deadline.
