Hi, who can tell me more about this site, i am willing to trade some bitcoins and i would like to know If this website is safe, thank you!
Just use one of the trusted escrows on this forum!
That is the best way to go to enable you to escrow Bitcoins, and can also help contribute tto the community.
Unless you can trace the owner of this new website, there is no point in using it as they will probably disappear with your Bitcoins.
What exactly differentiates a website disappearing over night and a user on a forum disappearing overnight? If anything I would think a website would be less likely to disappear over small amounts as there is an initial cost. You have to buy a domain, SSL certificate, hosting etc... compared to a user on a forum who can get signup for free.
I will take that argument, however will disupte it. It is harder for a forum member to disappear if they are legendary and are on DT and are trusted by the community. The reason → Their account is worth more than the transaction.
A website is not too expensive, I know I could purchase a year of website bandwidth for $0.5. Or go to somewhere like steadyturtle and get hosting for a month for $1.60, so the account of someone with more than 100 trust points is better than that simple site setup, however, you are already also a DT legendary member.
That is a good point, I am not sure I agree with you on your pricing on a website, though, I would say even if you go the cheapest possible route you are looking at 10$ or so plus an hour or so.
I agree having a website + legendary member does help, but I have seen many sites where someone simply uses a brand new account and yet people still deposit money into it. It has always amazed me.
It is good that we have a member centrally to that site that is well trusted on this forum.
There are some users that are more trusted, but being that picky is not good!
And yes, a hosting payment, design of site and good member of the forum is probably better than a newbie offering a scheme that will just disappear after its first deposit.
Agreed, I think the main advantage of a website is really that the process can be automated a great deal. I mean the majority of the escrow case do not a dispute so rather then waiting on an escrow agent to come online and release the funds, they can be released nearly instantly. This advantage matters a lot less for multi-signature, but for regular escrow which seems to be what most people surprisingly prefer, it has its advantages.
