user4590: I've read this article: What are "routine escrow mechanisms"?
But I don't understand the bitcoin escrow system.
Can anyone explain me how this escrow system doesn't need a third party ?
Edit : How is solving problems the third party solve in online exchange ?

user85: Bitcoin escrow schemes that don't require a third party typically don't require a third party because that is one of their design requirements. It's obviously much easier to design an escrow system that does require a third party, so typically you would only design one that didn't if you had no choice.
