Ha ha. This reminds me of an old project / library [0] I built based on a Quora answer. I wrote libraries for Android and iOS, also wrote a simple server component which could be installed on Heroku with a single click. At the start of the app, it would contact the server for payment status. If server indicated that payment has been made, it would function like normal. If not, it would just crash.

I never used it in any of my projects nor I know anyone using it. I just had an itch of learning Clojure and building libraries for android, and iOS, so I made them.

How do you encode that a website and assets have been delivered? It doesn't seem so obvious.

> Just need to specify the conditions of what "done" or "delivered" looks like

Since it's "just" so simple, can you better explain what those done/delivered conditions might look like? And preferably how that would also be more secure than Escrow.com?

In the end its the same problem. A human has to verify.

How would oracles verify semi-private business deals?
