Never download a wallet by a link in this forum which was posted by a random guy. Could contain a keylogger!

Be sure to download from the official coin developer's account (which should be "full member" or above). Use virustotal.com before unpacking the wallet files.

Thanks for your warning

Another list of escrows is here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2955628

It was the best escrow list, until Financisto became very busy and didn't have time to update it.
The info in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/escrow-list-108716 is more up-to-date.

Ah, I see, the thread is locked, my bad.
Thanks for sharing the link, mate!

Any other tips ? I just started today

Download a wallet and starts with faucets. Faucets are websites which gives you small amounts of Bitcoins for looking to adds on that site. You don't have to do anything with the adds. Fill in your Bitcoin adress and do the captcha to prove that you are an human being and push the button "get reward" or similar. Don't think you become rich of the faucets.

Hey ValueAccounts! May I ask what is an escrow? I'm new to this forum and bitcoin and I want to buy some bitcoin in the market place.

It's an independent and trusted third party (the "escrower") in a deal. For example, if you (the "buyer) want to buy some bitcoins by wiring USD to someone, the other party (the "seller") could betray you by not delivering the coins after the money was received. So you want the seller to first deliver the bitcoins to the escrower who will signal you that he has received them. Then you will wire the money, because the bitcoins are safely held by the escrower. Upon reception of the money, the seller will signal the escrower, who will release the bitcoins to you.

I can recommend this guy: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/legendary-bitcoin-escrow-service-more-than-19k-btc-transferred-alts-too-303281

thanks for info about escrow mate
for now, i know whats escrow

Always choose an escrow with higher green trust.

5+ is always good.

There is a nice list of escrows https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/escrow-list-686529, that you can check the escrow fees and their profile pages easily.

You're welcome!

You should use escrow in every trade. Even if you think you know the guy who you are trading with, his account could have been hacked! Escrow secures your money even in that case.
