What happened::
I saw Nimano's thread that he trades steam balance for btc and contacted him through forums.
He asked for my Skype and we agreed that I load 50eur to his Steam account and he sends me 0.105btc
Now it's been over an hour without an explanation what is causing this "delay" as he says is "personal"
and he isn't sending me my bitcoins I've paid for.

[22:06:05] BTC PLAYER: Hey
[22:06:36] Nimano: Greetings.
[22:07:13] BTC PLAYER: I was thinking propably cheapest and most secure way (doesn't paysafecards get locked sometimes in foreign use?) for me is to make fresh steam account, load it with 50eur balance (or whatever amount we agree) and give you account details.
[22:08:33] Nimano: Yes, PaySafeCards can get locked in foreign countries.
[22:08:53] Nimano: Instead of making a fresh Steam Account, I could hand you one of my Steam Accounts in which you can load.
[22:09:12] Nimano: How much can you do?
[22:09:13] BTC PLAYER: that could work too, I suppose
[22:09:30] Nimano: If you can do a massive amount, I can work out a greater rate for you.
[22:09:44] BTC PLAYER: I could do one 50euros test trade now and more later
[22:09:52] Nimano: Okay.
[22:09:54] Nimano: How much later?
[22:10:07] BTC PLAYER: not today
[22:10:08] Nimano: How much are you capable of doing?
[22:10:22] Nimano: This week?
[22:10:45] BTC PLAYER: I trade btc almost every day 100-700 about, depends always with who I trade of who's available and who has best rates and best service
[22:10:50] BTC PLAYER: yes this week definitely
[22:11:07] Nimano: How much are you able to do this week?
[22:11:16] BTC PLAYER: brb ciggy, can you calculate me amount of btc you send for 50eur and give me account details
[22:11:47] BTC PLAYER: i trade on average about 1200-2000eur per week
[22:11:53] BTC PLAYER: brb

[23:17:12] BTC PLAYER: waiting exactly 14 more minutes for reply and proceeding with trade before contacting Paysafecard and Steam
[23:20:43] Nimano: If you wish to have a successful trade, then be patient.
[23:21:01] Nimano: If I were to be a scammer, I would have blocked you ages ago already.
[23:21:11] BTC PLAYER: you could just say "it takes an hour to process after you initiate the payment"
[23:21:24] Nimano: I did not expect this, I am just as annoyed as you are.
[23:21:37] BTC PLAYER: what you did not expect? and what's the delay about
[23:22:03] BTC PLAYER: you selling skins or stuff to someone else before sending me my bitcoins?
[23:24:21] BTC PLAYER: please answer
[23:26:56] BTC PLAYER: ?
[23:27:04] BTC PLAYER: what you did not expect? and what's the delay about
[23:29:46] BTC PLAYER: what you did not expect? and what's the delay about
[23:33:35] Nimano: I did not expect a delay at all. Now remain patient.
[23:35:58] BTC PLAYER: What is the reason of this "delay"?
[23:36:15] BTC PLAYER: it's been 60minutes now since I completed my payment.
[23:36:31] BTC PLAYER: WHAT IS THE REASON OF THIS DELAY?
[23:37:20] Nimano: The reason is personal, and I shall not disclose it.
[23:38:14] Nimano: Either you wait patiently, or you will force me to ignore you until I have this issue resolved.
You act as if you are the only one waiting, I am waiting just as much as you are.
[23:38:18] BTC PLAYER: it's been over an hour.
[23:38:27] BTC PLAYER: explain the delay.
[23:38:33] BTC PLAYER: wtf you are waiting for?
[23:38:48] Nimano: Stop asking questions and wait.
[23:38:56] BTC PLAYER: for how long?
[23:39:10] Nimano: I have no idea myself, but it should not take long.
[23:39:36] BTC PLAYER: `so you are waiting for someone you can sell steam items forward?
[23:39:43] BTC PLAYER: or you don't even have bitcoins yet?
[23:39:56] Nimano: No, it has nothing to do with Steam.
[23:40:01] Nimano: Go stalk the profile if you wish.
[23:40:17] BTC PLAYER: so you can type so why can't you type in my bitcoin address to your wallet for transfer?
[23:40:32] Nimano: The reason is personal, and I shall not disclose it.
[23:40:47] Nimano: If you keep asking questions, I will be forced to ignore you.
[23:40:52] BTC PLAYER: really?
[23:41:02] Nimano: Yes, really. I dislike impatient human beings.
[23:41:04] BTC PLAYER: i'm asking why you aren't sending me my money i paid for
[23:41:14] Nimano: You act as if you were scammed or demolished, which I dislike.
[23:41:20] BTC PLAYER: impatient for 60+minutes for trade that should be close to instant?
