Better use John. I have reputation, but nothing compared to the one of John.
Anyway, I doubt he will send the money to the escrow. His story doesn't convince me. I hope he proves me wrong.
Do you ever
It's hard to trust anyone with bitcoin, but I would certainly trust trading & john.
They have both showed continues good trades, but who knows even the most reputable member could get their hands on a big amount and scam others, you always have to think, before dealing with bitcoin.
I nearly always ask for documentation, unless it's using bitmit.net or I have a fairly good gut feeling they will pay.
I held over 10k BTC of escrow coins at one point last month for a brief period, but thankfully I'm down to around 3-4k now. My escrow coins come and go fast,
and will always stay in the same unique address issued just for this tx until the escrow is released, so I'm not running a ponzi here.
My plans are not to hold more than 5k BTC worth of escrows at one point, as that's probably the manageable level of escrows for me.
CouragedOne, do you agree to use John as a escrow? If so I will PM John and ask.
He did started an escrow tx with me, but went silent after I sent him and his buyer the escrow contract. He's probably just getting my escrow contract so that he could edit it and send it out to other users. I've got reports by people who said that a few scammers were running around PM'ing fake escrow contracts that were apparently 'issued by me'.
