Hey, I'm the creator. I'd love to hear any feedback/questions/suggestions you have, but specifically on the security model [1] I implemented, design/ux (my design skills are terrible, thank god for Bootstrap for making it look half decent :) and the marketing/texts (I'm not a native English speaker, so any corrections are much appreciated). If you don't know what multisig/m-of-n means, check out the FAQ: https://www.…

Awesome, glad someone is doing this. Are you going to be offering ways for arbitrators to tie in other social identity sites as a way for arbitrators to present credentials?

Right now, I'm advising them [1] to simply publish their public key in other social profiles they own, but for some Bitcoin-related services (like bitcoin-otc) that have public keys attached to profiles, I'm planning on asking them to sign a message along the lines of "I am shesek from bitcoin-otc, my nickname on bitrated is nadav, and my public key on bitrated is ..." with their bitcoin-otc's key, which'll make it possible to automatically identify them.

Looks nice, but does this do anything I can't do with my Citibank n-of-m financial transaction arbitration service?

(kidding- thanks for another innovation that makes traditional banks look like fossils)

i think you're bug bounty (bottom of security page) is a little out of date...

We welcome security audits and offer a bounty of 1 BTC for responsibly disclosing security issues or breaches in our client-server model. If you found a bug, please contact us at security@bitrated.com.

At the time of writing, the BTC/USD exchange rate is ~$110. If this drastically changes (to either side) we'll pay the equivalent BTC of that instead.

Weird, I was thinking about this kind of application for the last few days (unfortunately many good domains are squatted, e.g cointract ) I imagined being able to set the arbiter via an email address however, making it a little easier to use, but that obviously has some security implications. Great execution, very excited to see this part of Bitcoin develop. btw the about page 404's

> unfortunately many good domains are squatted

This might be partially my fault - I also got bitrator.com and bitrater.com before settling on bitrated :)

I like bitrated. Because it's a bitcoin service where transactions are... arrrrBitrated, matey. Shiver-me-ASICs.

The service is so valuable you could call it a... (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) treasure.

I see you're implementing an idea from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts ;)

What are your fees currently (as the site operator)? I've only found ...

"Fees: For its services, Bitrated may charge fees, as it sets forth from time to time. Such fees may be deducted in source from any transaction, or be paid separately."

"especially if you're transecting with an unknown merchant."

misspelled transacting
