This is really cool, exactly the kind of thing "only Nostr" can do. My first glance question is: Isn't this an ideal application for multisignature Bitcoin? This is basically a 2-of-3 transaction between buyer, seller and arbiter. Also is "Kind 3400" already in the protocol or something you came up with? Are / should transactions be linked to these Nostr events directly in some way?

These kinds are in a NIP I proposed (which is a bit outdated now). it's linked on the site. You're right, this would be great for multisig. Someone could build that version. I want the base layer to be as simple as possible - and if we leave multisigs out of it we get #cashu nutsack wallets for new users on day one. (cc @calle )
