Requesting LTBcoin escrow assistance for a LTBcoin Podcast Guest auction

I have previously put up a 100K LTBc bounty for a particular guest in an effort to distribute the task of guest discovery. It has become clear to me that a counterparty could provide a decentralized auction for new guests using their betting system.

By pointing to the LTBcoin Podcast RSS title of the guest's name the bet could encourage people to contribute LTBcoin/BTC/XCP towards a guest of their choice. Therefore incentivizing someone to connect the guest with the show in order to collect the reward pool.

As OpenBazaar is not set to release until October, this would simply require the LTBcoin media network to act as a counterparty escrow. To hold the reward pool and send it to the first person who successfully connects the guest to the show.

Would the LTBcoin media network be interested in this decentralized method of acquiring new guests?

  In the meantime do you have a RSS feed of the LTBcoin podcast that I can point to in order to test it?

  you can find them over here: http://letstalkbitcoin.com/shows except that they have been pretty much totally broken the past week or so... trying to figure out how the heck to fix it. I have a few ideas... but if those dont work, you could try getting a RSS link from here: http://letstalkbitcoin.com/rss

  Fantastic. Now for the other side, would you hazard a guest as to who the trusted third party could be for escrow? Basically there will be a pool of tips towards a celebrity guest, which once completed will go towards an address that I personally do not want to hold. Could this somehow be integrated into the LTB distribution model?
