BHW should offer an Escrow service

[Voo]

Not long from now I will need to pay out $1000s for a project I have in mind. Judging from how well the staff handle the SL area of this forum I would wholeheartedly trust BHW with holding the money and paying an escrow fee for it.

Not sure why this has never been considered as it’s an incredibly opportunistic idea for this forum.

+1 for this.

What’s wrong with every other escrow service?

Truth is I have never used any of them, I have come to really know BHW and it’s staff recently and feel oddly “ safe “ and quite protected from scammers which is a very odd feelings considering some of the services we buy here from totally anonymous people.

So for the large scale project I will be investing it I would have just liked to keep it all under one roof where it could be tracked from A to B rather than having to go outside of BHW and then one day have to open up an SL and explain myself in full detail.

I guess it would just be more beneficial if there was a third party that really understands our industry and products.

Not a bad idea tbf. Must be a reason as to why they haven't offered it or added a payment processor of their own.

It makes sense for large projects like your own worth $X,XXXs but for little SEO link BSTs and keyword research, it would be time consuming and hard to keep track of.

The problem lies in licenses and kyc with doxing members. That woukd kill anonymity, unfortunately :/

Surely from the amount of money they would receive from the escrow fees they could fund a secure enough and yet still profitable system?

that would be great for safety!

Facilitating payments is a HUGE risk for a business. Especially given the nature of this forum, people hiding their identity, black hat/market activity, I dont think they would even think of risking entering that space.

BHW should open its own bank and provide 0% interest credits for members + free monkey generator for each.

That may be true but hey high risk high reward for them. You know?

That is actually something being discussed.

Whether it moves forward or not is one thing but it is not off the table at all.

Yeh should be very useful.
But they may have hardtime with paypal payments, but crypto should not be a problem.

Yea maybe done via crypto. And in a jurisdiction where they have free reign so they don’t have to gather KYC maybe as much idk.
Or just honestly becoming an affiliate/white label of something like escrow.com or any other service.

An escrow service would be great. This would support better quality of services am sure.
