What an unprofessional escrow service providers? They may keep saying never receiving the money and run away! Then you are scammed and can do nothing to them! Bitcoin's transaction's none reversal feature could be the advantage, or could be drawback in some situation! Escrow services are arising to counter this! Maybe one day govs step up this area, regulate or insure the third party escrow service, Bitcoin's adoption may be boosted quickly!


I've used btcrow many times, and always correctly, the last time yesterday with 185 bitcoins in escrow and smoothly. Surely it was an exceptional failure by the stress tests.

Anyways...good news...i finally received the payment from btcrow...
     ...due to large bitcoin amount, blockchain requires 89 bitcoin confirmations.
89 confirmations??  They worried about a 51 thousand percent attack?  What a load of crap!

Anyways.  Glad it worked out..

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
That is because you have not realized that bitcoin is not finished in terms of being a payment processor (still a prototype).

Bitcoin is not a payment processor.

Bitcoin is an asset ledger, not a currency.

Bitcoin is an irreversible currency. Being irreversible does not mean it is not a currency. I suggest you to read https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Anyways... I am really happy you got your funds. I have read many scam stories over the years and in most cases the scammer walks away in triumph. Great to see a happy end Smiley

that's what I don't like about bitcoin...

if they had kept the money, i don't think i could not have done anything about it

bitrated.com is probably a better alternative than btcrow if you do have to use an online escrow service.

"Secure website"? They don't even have SSL as far as I can see. If their website says they have received BTC but they say they haven't then obviously something is wrong here. Try asking the buyer for txid of his payment to btcrow.

They do have SSL but it does not seem to be forced https on all pages of the site. I am sure it's enabled where it needs to be.

Yeah, I can see their SSL now but when I visited the site few hours back SSL was not enabled on the home page. Weird.  


EDIT: Ok sorry when I visited the site before I typed http:// instead of https:// so yeah, looks like their SSL is valid, just not redirecting.

I logged into their secure website btcrow.com and followed their step by step instructions.

Their actual website btcrow says they received the BTC so I transferred the domain to the buyer.

Now btcrow emails me saying they have not received the BTC.

The buyer is going to say he sent the BTC.
Btcrow will say they never received it.

What can I do?

I used btcrow.com to sell my domain name BitcoinSolutions.com for $7,500 (29.45BTC).

We used their website and followed all their directions.

Buyer sent payment.
Btcrow website said they received payment.

I transferred domain to buyer.

Btcrow website says transaction complete.

And now, btcrow sent me an email saying they never received BTC.

What can I do?

Please HELP
