We do need more escrows in this forum, especially the ones who take less fees and who are trustworthy. Am not complaining that escrows here take more fees but even a common man also should not hesitate to hire one.

I haven't done any transactions here in our forum, but if ever I did I would definitely go for escrows to avoid being scam. With that said, I think we need more solid escrows around specially who will charge just a little bit and has a good trust rating. If the OP started a escrow, I think he will definitely get a lot of customers because he has high trust rating.

Hey everyone.

I've noticed that there has been a smaller number of scams (at least from what I've seen) than there used to be in the past year or so.

However, this made me think if the forum still had a need for escrow services or not. On one hand, if the scams are lowering, it doesn't make sense to flood the forums with escrows. However, on the other hand, escrows are very useful for every deal here.
You have said it yourself scams are reducing greatly because people are aware of these services on the forum and having an extra pair of hands to help with this wouldn't be a bad idea as it will improve efficiency, and all I would like to see are readily available services for the sake of convenience.

I'm asking this question because I, myself, am wondering about making an escrow thread to keep the trading community here safer.
Good luck with that and other established members need to vouch for you that you can indeed honour these services

The scams maybe less than the past but there is always a risk of immoral activities by anyone in the forum. Escrow can play a very vital role,to make it less. Even if escrow charges a little fee for the service provided is not a big deal even. It will be better to step forward for the establishment of escrow link. Thumbs up for you.

The people who got scammed probably didn't use/care to use a escrow, I like your idea of a trusted escrow list but I think that already exists, imo we don't need more escrows we just need to know about the existing active escrows.
Edit : found this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-escrows-trade-safely-855778 but looks outdated.

Of course we need an escrow to make our transaction safe and good without any problem and Aatually there are already many popular escrow here in this forum and most of them had positif trust, it makes many people trust them to be an escrow. If you want to be an escrow, it will be hard because no one know you and you even don't have any positif trust (the green thing).

Don't based only with positive trust, there are also cases that a very trusted user here in the forum such as VIP committed a scam. We don't know what is the mind of everyone here because we are all anonymous on this forum.

I don't know if we need more escrows, but I do know that folks here need to start using the ones we have.  You see people get scammed constantly,  and it's because they didn't use an escrow.   I don't think that's because we have a dearth--it's because they're inconvenient and people take too many risks.

Player514, if you're going to offer your services as such, I'd use you.  You're solid,  unlike these other tools who think they're going to build a rep by being an escrow.   Good luck if that's your aim.

You're right. I shouldn't have asked the question as I did, and I believe I misunderstood some trends on this forum. Scams will always be an issue. However, people need to be able to access an escrow much more easily -- as you have stated. Hopefully I can try to fix that issue.

Escrows always need by the community. Why think that forum doesn't need an escrow just because you noticed that there are currently few number of scams. Is that an assurance that no such thing as big numbers of scam will happened in the future? It's not really making sense at all.

Well goodluck with your plans to minimize the risk of being scammed by others and hopefully you will shine soon at the escrow stage here.

The only way to find out for sure if we need more escrows is to offer your services, put a cap on it and never scam anyone. After a whole you can increase your cap because people will see that you're more and more trustworthy. Just open the thread. It can't hurt.

Scams are happening here and there but they does not have proper escrows in the trade or service which is bitcoin involved. Already enough escrows available in the forum. We need to use according to their needs. I suggest SebestianJu and Lauda to have best experience.

Yup its about time. We need more escrows here as this is a 24 hours forum and their are times that escrows are not readily available because of our time difference. An additional escrows will make it easier for someone to do transactions at any moment in time. I'm even seeing thread asking for escrows but no one is answering (maybe in PM perhaps). But yeah its a good idea also to prevent scammers propagating this forum.

Escrow will always be needed. No matter that scams are reduced but still they are, but providing trustworthy escrow that is something completely different in any aspect of this trade or ICO announcement. So we need them more trusty they are the better then ICO for example might have some bigger changes to go big.

For you service create one some made this and made 5-10 free charge escrows then they started to use fees or some donation. If you want to be like then then try i do your best.


I really don't have a desire to charge for escrow. The way I see it, if you buy something physically at a store persay, you have a guaranteed sense of safety when making the deal at the register. However, the issue with online marketplaces is that the same sense of safety disappears. If me becoming an escrow would help this safety on bitcointalk, then I think I'll start crafting up my escrow thread.

More escrows on this forum? I guess it's a good idea.

Since you've got trading history, not all the times all escrows are available and there are traders who are looking to make their transactions safe.

Everyone has the freedom to help others safe in transactions as long as you have good history in trading.

No doubt this forum has many trusted escrows already since its launch but due to differ in time zones, we can't get in contact to some escrows. Some may have 24 hours difference in their timings. We awake when they sleep.
So i think more escrows would be required also around this forum.

To many transactions happening everyday here and no wonder escrow's pressence is truly a must here but its very hard to find an active escrow since some of the one who's trusted to do that job is most likely inactive due to different time zone, but still I would recommend those people in need of help of escrow to seek those trusted ones so that they will not be fooled by new one who's offering this kind of service since they might gonna put their money in risk with using those unknown escrows.
