RE: First Auction On Steemit: Brand New Beautiful Mens Watch (shipping to US only)

You still didn't answer the questions regarding your listing. The nature of the internet also means that even ned himself, could be seen as a bad actor. That is the whole reason for the blockchain. It aims to eliminate that. Only for the data though.

Transactions are still made by human, between humans. There needs to be implementations with initiatives such as this to rule out as much foul play as possible. There is no such assurance for a buyer. Whether I trust you or not is not the issue. The system is where the trust factor must exist.

@funatoz has questioned this on the original post and received a rather simple and troubling reply:

As everything is on the blockchain, you probably could use the data for a legal issue, if it does not work out as expected.

That's essentially saying, if you get ripped off, it's your problem to deal with. Hardly a solution when no one is obligated to place any identifying information on the blackchain. Thus such methods of recouping lost funds would lead no where.

You need to also stop seeing it as a personal attack.

I don't care much aboout the watch. I can sell it at a different venue, it just bothers me that people go out of their way to destroy someone elses business.

When we question the issues with steemit.. are we trying to destroy their business? No. It's about finding issues which could do with some improving.
