I am interested in one of the redeemed coins but can anyone tell me if these can be refunded with a new hologram logo?

Nothing prevent you for creating your own private key and place it under your own hologram and in this way refund the coin.

I don't assume you mean refund them with a new original Casascius hologram, there was a time were mike did this service but that is long time ago, and for sure not an option any more.
For obviously reason are there no "spare" Casascius hologram floating around, that would be a serious security breach.

Reminded me of Nightowlace answer to a similar question, lol Cheesy

The difficulty I have with escrow is how to choose a trustworthy service. I've heard stories of individuals with reliable histories suddenly flaking out. Are there escrow services more dependable than individuals on the forum?

True. However, the same goes for anything in life for any transaction.

If you don't trust my ratings and history, I will happily use a person with escrow low rated than me. You have to understand that your history, although not negative, simply doesn't exist for transactions / trade. Also, your history of coming back after being idle for a year doesn't help.

I would happily purchase all the coins (except for the redeemed one which are worthless to me), although I am only interested in the 10BTC silver So, I would just sell off the others. It might make it easier if you sell/trust one person instead of several transactions.

Yes, JohnK kind of disappeared as escrow; however, he didn't leave having scammed people (that I know of). Personally, I trust people with actual trades more than escrow ratings. And, I trust someone with escrow trades more than someone with simply a lot of post.

Blazed was mentioned. I would trust him and suggest him as escrow even if you don't sell to me. Others as well; however, from my experience, Blazed is familiar with physical crypto.

What would be nice to see is much better pictures.

Just escrow with OgNasty. He will not flake.

A few months back people would have said the same about such members like escrow.ms and master-P now looked what happened there.
Not saying OgNasty would scam at all but you can never really be 100% the same person is behind the account right now, well I guess you could get signed messages to verify so that would help.

You can do all the cross checking you like but at the end of the day you have to put a little trust in someone when dealing like this.

Please don't compare me to other escrow agents. My history of being honest here goes far beyond any other escrow in amounts they cannot come near. I am also the only one with my tax identification information on file with the forum. Not that this is a contest, but c'mon man... What did master-P or escrow.ms ever do to earn any of the trust they were given as escrow agents?

Sorry OgNasty i didn't mean to compare your escrow service to theirs just saying that it has happened before, if someone does fall for those type of escrow scams then is often their own fault for not verifing that they are dealing with the correct person by way of a PGP signed message.
I'm sure you provide all the right info to anyone that requests it.

100% true. Anyone can get hacked. However, I'm pretty confident that both of the aforementioned individuals run pretty f'in tight ships. They certainly aren't here on the forum on the same device/PC that they are conducting BTC tx's from, I'm fairly confident of that, only because I know how real computer security works as well.

As for your question about a new holo, sure, but pretty sure it will have to be your own/DIY. I gave my kid one, he loves it.

These are just individuals, right? Why should I not be skeptical of them as you are of me?

I've had escrow with Blazed 2 times now and they were extremely favorable experiences. Your asking us to compare 2 members of the form as if they are equal when one has a proven track record with other notable members of this forum and the other has been inactive and hasn't made a trade since 2014.

Just my 2 Satoshis.

Look no further than the fella above you. Blazed is more than reputable here.

I would trust both of them in front of you for many reasons, nothing personal. Since you dont conduct regular business here there is nothing from stopping you from disappearing after receipt of funds, it is possible blazed and og could do the same but it wouldnt probably make much financial sense to considering the business they conduct here. Just like being an honest miner....at this point they make much more money by being honest then dishonest is what it comes down to, at least for me it does but yes due your due dillagence when choosing an escrow.....which you will have to do to make any sizable trade on here.

Yeah, its tough. Wasnt JohnK a well-known reputable escrow service before he just disappeared one day?
