I agree mate this is the point im trying to get across summed up perfectly - 1 - you can't tell me that all of a vendors assets are going to be in escrow at any one time 2.losing what is in escrow is just an occupational hazard when trading on these markets 3.what is in escrow is only going to be a percentage of total assets. so its not like they are losing everything if they are smart and keep any other btc's in a separate wallet Vendors increasing prices and demanding FE on everything is punishing the customers for something which is not under their control CaptainWhiteBeard
