I'd try something else. If you dislike the driver (or rider), rate him and your app propagates to your friends your vote. They may re-relay that info further (with downgrading coefficient, like *0.66). This way there will be implicit web-of-trust for reputations. If this person has upset only one guy, his mistake may cost him this guy's friends at most (next tier circle may have rating below threshold). If he has upset several people, it will lower his rating for many more people.
- baddox 12y agoNote that arbitrators would only be actually used in cases where the signers disagree, which would probably be rare assuming other reputation systems are also in place. Of course, the 2-of-3 contracts would be entirely optional, so it's quite possible that you're right, and that most people wouldn't bother with it for small transactions like ridesharing.
