This site is ran by Gavin Andresen, technical lead of the bitcoin project.<p>If you are buying something using bitcoins, ClearCoin makes your transaction much safer.<p>Create an escrow transaction, and then instead of sending bitcoins directly to the seller, send them to ClearCoin.<p>Then show the seller that the bitcoins are secure by sending them a link to the transaction's status page, and wait for them to send you the product or provide the service.<p>After you've received the product or service, one click will release the bitcoins and complete the transaction.<p>If you don't receive the product or service, or if you're unhappy with it and the seller can't fix the problem, then don't release them. When the transaction expires, the bitcoins will either be refunded to you or donated to charity (you can choose which when you create a transaction).
