"Any user may make an Escrovery challenge to recover any account by first placing an amount of money in escrow. If the original account owner responds to the challenge in a certain amount of time, they earn the escrow. Otherwise, the challenger takes ownership of the account and recovers their escrow."

Are you thinking the response has to be the same amount? What if challenger puts down $1M - do I have to match the amount? Or will $1 work?

What would the time period be? What if I miss the notification or the email?

With some refinement and supporting systems, maybe this could work for some economies.

Looks compelling, been waiting for something like this to come along. Built a couple dapps with Metamask and the popups and mnemonic phrases and browser extension installation were a serious UX issue that had no real workaround and seemingly no timeline for improvement. AFAIK, development seems to have slowed or stopped entirely on Metamask? Will try working with this and share any feedback. Nice work guys, thanks for moving the space forward

thanks for the reply. there's definitely a 10,000 hours component to this but i suppose my desire is to learn an organized system and process, versus piece-meal trial&error youtube videos and tutorials.

This is how I've been learning so far (I have the basics of CSS down) but I can't help but feel I have a huge gaping hole in my knowledge somewhere. The best analogy I can think of is: knowing how to shoot a basketball into a hoop, but lack a playbook for winning games.

It would be amazing to watch someone design a site like Twitch or Airbnb over the course of a week. To see their systems, processes, methodologies, frameworks...

not an expert on bitcoin transactions - i would still need to create a business bank account and incorporate and use a payments processor like Stripe to do that, right?
