Quote from: Divo on September 06, 2013, 04:21 amI think a good compromise would be a system where new vendors aren't allowed to withdrawal any BTC for the first X days of operating, like 30. I know this might make it hard for smaller and new vendors to first start out, but if looking at it from a business perspective, if this was just the way it was to be a vendor, you would have to plan for this initial period of startup cost. I know this wouldn't do much to stop the long-con scamming, but it might help with all the hit-n-go type FE scammer vendors that have been appearing.You can't be serious? This is multitudes worse than what has been proposed in this thread so far, how you even managed to form an idea like this is utterly beyond me. :oWhy is it that some people think this issue can somehow be solved by applying regulation directly to the fund system? Sure it would solve the problem, until the set amount of time had passed and the scammer would do it anyway. Meanwhile Silk Road would get 90 % less Vendors during this time and it would make scamming extremely profitable since so few new Vendors register, brilliant. :-XThe only way this problem is going to be solved is by modifying the Finalize Early Concept so it can handle scammers ( by temporarily locking the ability after a certain amount of Reports for example ) or Buyers banding together and creating an Insurance of sorts ( not very likely Silk Road will help creating anything like this as it would acknowledge there's a problem with scammers to begin with ).
