My name has changed from knightdk to achow101. See
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/account-name-change-knightdk-achow101-1609738.
I am now opening an escrow service!
Always wait for or ask for a PGP signed message from me before sending me any Bitcoin. Always verify the message you receive.I will no longer be escrowing Forum Account sales.I will escrow nearly everything so long as it is legal. Some examples:Digital trades (e.g. Bitcointalk accounts, domains)
IPOs/ICOs (e.g. altcoin IPOs)
Signature Campaigns
Physical trades (e.g. miners)
I can do both 2 party and multi party escrows.
I am offering two types of escrow, traditional and multisig.Traditional escrow requires that you trust me to hold onto the funds and release them when requested.
Multisig is using a multisignature Bitcoin address which does not require that you trust me to not steal the funds.
I will be charging fees for my services. The following is a baseline but they can be decreased and negotiatedPrivate party escrow (e.g. product trade): 0.01
BTC or 1% of the trade value, whichever is greater
Multi-party escrow (e.g. Sig campaign): 5% of the amount
How to conduct an escrowed trade1. Contact me through PM to initiate the escrow. Make sure that the message you send contains who the buyer and seller are, how much is being paid, who is paying the fee, and whether to use multisig. I will assume by default the trade will be using traditional escrow
2. I will respond with a PGP signed message with instructions which will contain the details of the transaction and where the Bitcoin should be sent.
3. If any dispute arises, I will be the judge and resolve it as fairly as possible. I will make a decision and release the Bitcoin to the proper parties. I will remain neutral throughout the dispute.
ContactBitcointalk PM: This is the only method through which I can be contacted and the only method through which any escrow instructions will be sent.
I am online at the following times (all EST):
Weekdays: 4:00 PM - 10:00 PM (sometimes I will be on earlier but on mobile so I may not be able to provide escrow)
Weekends: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM
