The arbitrarors list is a problem. It seems to suggest that they're all trustworthy, so if your seller just says 'ok lets go with this guy' you might just accept. Then it turns out it was a dummy account created by the seller...
To be useful this would really require a separate service with a reputation system, perhaps a check saying if the arbitrators identity was verified, required pgp etc.
- nadaviv 13y agoI'm working on that! See my other comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6843655 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6843655 Edit: Also, for now, I'm hoping that it'll take place off the website, possibly over Reddit (which have a pretty active Bitcoin community). I opened an r/bitrated subreddit for possible future use, but it seems like r/bitcoin aren't very excited about this project [1] for now...

- obiefernandez 13y agoUsing well-known arbitrators solve this problem also. I signed up and have quite an online identity that can be verified easily, as did the creator of the hexayurt.
