Hello @flash07

First of all great article @reverseacid. You explained smart contracts and issues with smart contract very well.

Thanks for the appreciation.

There are many interesting thoughts that I came across in your comment. Let me address them.

I find your analogy about the freezing time quite impressive. It could really help in the arbitration with the need for an actual arbitrator. As you said, if any discrepancies arise, a third party can be introduced to help ease the flow. But the contract has to mention beforehand the existence of such a third party acting as an arbitrator.

Your comment is pretty interesting and practical, but it didn't give a good enough explanation for the question I had posed. How can the contract be held up in a court of law? Or can it in the first​ place?
