Topic: Closed: John K Escrow Alternatives (Read 1457 times)
Appreciate thread recs., but I'm not particularly interested in touching group buys.
DannyHamilton? Doesn't he do escrow?
I can do it. Been trading btc since march 2011, have over 100 rating on bitcoin otc and have been pretty active on bitcointalk. I have a lot of free time since I only have 3 classes this semester at school. I can get a handful of references and will give docs to a trusted 3rd party if anyone wants to consider it.
I haven't been an escrow so far, but Ive transacted well over 1000 BTC here and there and have a ton of transactions on otc from 82 people and have no negs.
To prove my worth, I have no problem insuring my escrow services against john k. for maybe 2-10 btc.
tell me what you guys think, You'll be pleasantly surprised at my response time
PS: Oh yeah, worked at bitbills, so I'm a pseudo escrow for hundreds of btcs (I dont have the keys anymore, but still...)
Ultibit, there might be a privacy issue with you request. Group buys are public. Person to person escrows are usually private and only 3 people know the bitcoin address used.
There's so many options. Not really sure how to select.
How about if all escrow providers write a total amount of funds that they've escrowed and include the signatures so that we can look them up and confirm them to be true?
Please also include a link to your escrow service website if you have one.
The escrow service we select will be one that has a good service, high total escrowed amount and a good reputation.

SebastianJu or me
I've done a couple of escrows lately and would be available too.
Feel free to check my post history and trust ratings.

I'm only doing 1 Group Buy now, so I think I can handle some others. There is an escrow list where a bunch of us are listed.

Of course, John K is number 1. Kludge is 2. And I have the bronze medal, for now.

Hi Ultibit,
I'm sorry to hear about the escrow difficulties. I really was pulling for you & bobsag3 teaming up as I encourage all new GBCs to provide value and variety to our forum. We all need to realize that John has a lot of demands on him and he does have a life too, just like anyone else. I had offered to team up with John previously but then decided to just launch my services and focus on this forum (and to a lesser extent the Custom Hardware forum).
You & I have worked together before, and I do offer my Escrowed share services to anyone participating in a GB even if they joined a GB that doesn't have an Escrow Agent or Service set up previously.
If I was looking for escrow services I'd recommend Dabs and SebastianJu, but in the future, if you're in a hurry & you want to send folks my way to do semi-automated escrowed GB shares (with manual release of funds by buyer) I'll be more than happy to help out your Group Buyers.
For escrowed sale transactions my response time is 24 hours or less. For people wanting escrow protection & GBCs needing access to acquisition funds (perhaps to make a mfg. downpayment to secure a miner?) I'll make the time on their behalf.
At the moment...we've just closed out GBs with me in an assist mode for R5/R6, so I do have time to help people outside of my Cooperative (in fact, I'm vetting another potential new GBC) . If you have a big enough need, even if one's a competitor GBC here, I'll do my best to help you as quickly as I can.
Cheers,
DZ

Please re-send me any PM's if you don't get a response from me after seeing me going online.
And no, I'm still waiting for bobsag3 to contact me regarding the 'discuss shipping and hosting related issues' as you said he would.
The quote for the miner changes according on the exchange rate by bitpay (http://cointerra.com/product/terraminer-iv-2ths-networked-miner-january-batch/) ,so I do not think I can give you an exact quote up to the point it is ordered.

Hi John K
We didn't know that we had to resend PM's. Is there any reason behind this that we should bear in mind so that we can communicate more effectively with you?
We have communicated with bobsag3 and pushed him to contact you immediately.
The quote would include the shipping, taxes, escrow fee, etc which will enable us to refund the remaining bitcoins back to our buyers.
Kind Regards
Ultibit
I've started offering escrow, as I'm nearly always available and have a long and positive trading history.

Good choice... BUT - Too many things going on with him at one time. Has like 7 group buys going on that he is running
John K is a trusted member of the Bitcoin community and has provided many successful escrows thus far.
As a Group Buy Creator and as a customer of a Group Buy - what values [most] is a quick and speedy service. As of late, this has been impossible with our current waiting time sitting at around 3 weeks without a response from John K: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=282645.0;all
For our next Group Buys, would anyone consider any other escrow providers that are trustworthy (have built a name) and can deliver a quick and speedy service?
If so, who would you consider?

Ive trusted this guy with over $30,000 in the last 120 days. I wouldn't hesitate to use him if you are searching for a perfect candidate for you escrow services.
