Quote from: bullmarkets4ever on April 18, 2013, 03:03 pmHey Friends. Sorry if dumb question, and more sorry if been answered once, twice (thrice..doh):When funds are in escrow, orders in place (in this case hedged by vendor) when I finalize do I end up getting that amount of exact $ (at current BTC rates) taken out of escrow (my account), or do I get the original amount of BTC used (to get to that dollar amount when order was initially placed) taken out of my account? This question seems important as I bought product for a specific $ amount, and needed xamount of BTC to get to that amount, but with the BTC moving as it does, when I finalize I stand to lose significant $ vs with the current rate, if the original BTC amount is used to fulfill the order.Hope that makes sense.I guess in shorter terms: when I finalize an order do I end up paying the agreed upon $ amount, held in escrow, regardless of how many BTC were used to get there originally, or do I end up paying for the exact amount of BTC, regardless of how that price has moved since the order was put into escrow?Thanks SO MUCH. This will be very valuable to understand as I continue to transact in the court of kings and queens. Happy Thursday to ALL!Hi bullmarkets4ever,You only pay for an item once, and the price you pay is the Bitcoin amount at the time of purchase regardless of whether the vendor is hedging their products or not. It is up to the vendor to take the risk (or reward) of working unhedged, or to pay the 4% hedging fee.Anything that you see in escrow is not actually in your account, it has already been taken from your account and is in the Silk Road escrow account.You have paid for the order already, therefore no more Bitcoin will be taken from your account regardless of price fluctuation. When you finalise, the amount of Bitcoin still in your account will remain the same and the 'escrow' amount on your account page will return to $0.00 / 0.00.- grahamgreene
