lolz at the TL;DR first and last entry

Really sorry to hear about this. I'm glad you didn't have to sell any bitcoin/s. I've been hesitant to use P2P services for this exact reason. Seems like we're back to trust, but instead of large banks, anonymous individuals.... right back to where we started. Wish I knew a solution other than dealing only in goods/services in exchange for bitcoin. Would love any other ideas...
