tl;dr: Need to do escrow between users without paypal, what do? I`m the new CTO, redoing ConnectWithContractors.com(asp.net 2.0 webforms website) in bootstrap and open source technologies to love my life a little more and minimize scaling/hosting/dev costs and maximize utility, sanity, and on-boarding time. The old app was too poorly implemented to get myself on-boarded without going to great lengths, so I taught the CEO just enough coding to understand the problem and sell him on a fresh start. Check it out: connectwithcontractors.github.com The asp.net app had an unfinished attempt at an escrow implementation via paypal. I heard paypal intends to fix the issues they have had in the past, but I don't want to use them in our mvp, unless it's the fastest solution to the problem, in which case, so be it. So what would you do HN?
