Amazon is a universal retailer
BTS is already an effective marketplace DAC in my eyes...

Basic escrow *or* real-world ID check *or* decentralized reputation schemes. Blockchain supports almost everything

You can spend bitUSD on amazon if you are willing to expose what you buy in public.
You can buy bitUSD with a credit card if you are willing to buy random stuff from amazon.
This is an effective on/off ramp that doesn't require a blockchain. Just make a website that sorts requests by fee paid.

The tools required to make safe transactions (escrow, rep, etc) are already available and will become usable pretty fast. BitUSD<->stuff volume of any kind is good because you can start systematically trying to grow it

More like I am 5 (as I am, give or take). Who does what?
3rd party starts selling random stuff on Amazon. (Let's call her Rune for now). She takes $ and bitUSD...
I do not know I need more info, please.

An amazon buyer pays bitUSD to someone who buys something from amazon with bank / debit card / whatever has lowest exit fee.
It is easy for anybody to become a middleman and make a fixed cut to random people who check out in your web of trust.
"I want this $800 piece of equipment, and I have bitUSD"
"I have USD in my bank and want bitUSD"

OK let me try to see if I am in the way of getting it.
VOTE (and KeyID) got really exiting because they can do the following:
-I log in my VOTE/KeyID client. I go on Amazon from there and I decide that I am ready to buy 'something-something'. I 'post' (in the VOTE/KeyID client) that I am willing to pay for that purchase with bitUSD (also sating that I am ready to pay 0.5% fee to the hard cash payer).
-Somebody else logged in the VOTE/KeyID client, sees all parties willing to purchase something using bitUSD (as well as the 'devotion' rating of their account :) ); They chose a transaction, lock it (for 10-15 min, lets say) and make the actual payment for that purchase using their $ credit card or $ checking account or whatever source of $).
-Upon confirmation from Amazon that the payment is received, the VOTE/KeyID credits their (the regular currency (hard cash) payer) account with the amount USD paid + a % they have requested for the service.
Is that close?
