Hi, my name is Kimble and I'm one of the owners of Evolution. I'd like to take the time to address a few of your concerns. Let's start with the fact that, yes, you indeed have to deposit funds into our on-site wallet before you can place a multi-sig order. We opted for this solution as it reduces the complexity for buyers, is less prone to mistakes, and fair enough, it also guarantees us that commission fees can be collected. You might think of it as 'half-assed', but the truth is that we think that this solution offers very much all of the protection of multisig, without making it needlessly complicated. I'm sure you'll agree that by doing so, we can actually persuade more people to adopt it, instead of scaring them off with 10-page long tutorials on how to use it.

Upon placing the order, we transfer funds from our on-site wallet to a multisig address that is generated using your, the vendor's, and an evo public key. You can verify these keys on the order details page. You will be shown all the keys used to generate the address, so you can verify the authenticity of the multisig address, and we also provide you with the bitcoind command, to make it easy to do so.

I suppose there is a valid concern for having to send funds to our on-site wallet first, but as deposits are usually processed within 20-30 minutes, this 'riskiness' is reduced to a relatively small time-frame.
