Im always on the lookout for updates/breakthroughs for a two party escrow via btc as Satoshi proposed (and mentioned in my OP here).
I saw some exchange claiming to offer such service recently but realized it wasnt legitimate once I dug in, nor could I find any that were (that I know of).
I then came across this paper (
https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/publications/cryptocurrency-escrow.pdf ) and spent time going through it all. I thought it was new, until realizing this was created years ago. I know whats proposed here is not it as Gmax spoke to this topic in this thread after this paper was published (in which hes also cited multiple times in) and there was no solution as of then. So Im curious about two things
is this on the right track
maybe such as Szabo was with Bit Gold ..a strong bitcoin precursor but with known flaws (double spending for ex), or is it just way off base entirely ? I dont understand a lot of it but trying to learn!
Also, can anyone speak to the credibility of Steven Goldfeder ?
