Always an easy transaction and quick communication.

Hi, I'm looking for someone to escrow my prizes. I'm holding a contest and 3 winners will be selected by me. This means I will give away 3 prizes, 0.1 btc, 0.25 btc and 0.5 btc. I will start off with 0.1 btc, I will pm you as soon as I pick a winner. However, this could take a few weeks.
Could I do business with you?
Could I do business with you?
No. I don't see any benefit to providing escrow for this scenario except adding a false sense of trust. If you're choosing the contest winners, then you could easily select friends or aliases as winners and that would undermine the escrow. It sounds to me like you need someone to build you a trustless lottery system.
First off, don't make accusations before knowing anything. It's the first time I'm using escrow and yeah I forgot about the fact that you need to choose the winners (else it wouldn't have any point).
There is no reason to become emotional about it. You asked if we could do business and I explained why I would not provide the service you are requesting. I turn down quite a few escrow requests for similar reasons. The only accusation I made was that you need someone to build you a trustless lottery system, which you should view as friendly advice instead of becoming defensive. I still believe that to be true, as your escrow agent certainly isn't going to choose winners of your contest.
Rofl, then how would I be able to show I'm not "building a trustless lottery system". Ofcourse there are 'escrow agents' that are willing to take 1min of their time to pick a winner, maybe you do not. Besides, my contest is free and no registration is required. It's funny how high ranked members always thinks newer guys are scammers.
You are correct, I will never "pick" anything. I'm not saying you're dishonest. I'm saying you are trying to circumvent the trustless business environment by taking the shortcut of asking a trusted member to do the lifting for you.
I urge you to take a step back and instead of becoming defensive, respect that I am trying to help you. I don't run lotteries for 3rd parties, I don't select winners, I don't make accusations. I simply accept or decline business based on terms and offer my reasoning or advice to those who want to learn.
I am actually protecting you here, which is why your responses are troubling. The way you want to have your contest, there will be people who are unhappy they didn't win and when results can't be verified as truly random you will be attacked and accused of things. You can learn from all of this and respect that I took the time to spell this all out for you, or you can continue to be defensive and hope that in some way helps your situation.
In any event, I wish you good luck and hope that someday I can provide an automated escrow system for trustless lotteries like you want to have so that I can stop denying these requests and making newbies angry with me.

The contestants need to come up with a creative line on why they want to win, that's why I didn't think of it.

i've noted the wallet address, so there's no way i can be scammed by the imposter but thanks for the warning!
I believe user "macrom" is also the one initiating the scam.

WARNING:
I received an escrow request last night from what I believe is an impostor going by "OqNasty"
See here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/oqnasty-360247
I reported him but I haven't seen anything done about his account.

Can you tell me what is Escrow?
Escrow works by placing money in the control of a trusted third party in order to protect both buyer and seller in a transaction. When both parties verify the transaction has been completed per terms set, the money is released.
Thanks. So generally what all third parties can be used?
Kindly,
Muhammed Zakhir

Hello!
Sorry to ask you but Can you tell me what is Escrow? I saw many persons telling about it but I don't know what it is yet.
If you explain in simpler words, it would be better for me.
Kindly,
Muhammed Zakhir

Have done a few escrows at a few BTC each with Og. Not only did they go smoothly, but he is fast to respond, no waiting days to get a deal done with.
June 06, 2014, 12:10:39 AM
Thanks OgNasty for a smooth escrow. Well done.
May 04, 2014, 12:05:57 PM
do you exclude something to escrow or you just provide escrow for everything?
Nothing is excluded. I am the escrow provider and charge 1% for my services.
