In these times of Mass scammers out there, I urge people to use an escrow. There are many good members out there willing to help to secure the bitcoin community, There are also more people willing to do anything to scam you out of your coins, Please just do your research on someone before you part with your hard earned coins.

An escrow list - updated 11/17

Note to mod, I know this is in the wrong section as I am not selling anything, I feel we all need to be wiser, People in the selling forums are less likely to look elsewhere for information on what this is and how it is acheved,
Even if a few people read this and use escrow, Or a few scammers don't get their coins, I will consider this a good job.
Please consider not moveing out the way, This needs to be addressed.

There is a new wave of possible scammers, People who buy up legendary accounts and trade untill they have large sum of money then run, This has been done with a very trusted account recently.

Please be cautious, I am trying to set up a 3 way secure key escrow for my personal escrows to add peace of mind.

I would like to point out, that I do not partake in escrowing forum accounts, I never have and never will, in fact its against the rules on my forum, This is a trust based commodity as it stands, if we keep moving the goal posts as well as the stadium, no one can be accountable for theft!

Keep safe people, dont give up, trust in BTC, suspect people :-)

please watch out for fake accounts made to look like hero/legendary escrow accounts, check the join date and the letters of the name exatly! some use numerical 0 instead of alphabetical O, and please watch out for sold accounts! this forum allows selling of any account, so make it difficult to know who's still real, I do not allow selling of accounts on my forum  Roll Eyes

Love this! Smiley Escrow is probably the goodness, and I'm sure that many people here thank you for promoting the use of a trusted third party with all these obvious and annoying scams in the marketplace.

If payment has been made and the  buyer or seller dispute the trade for any reason, the 3rd party steps in and mediates the trade. This is why its important to send all messages through the escrow system.
1. Buyer/seller agree to the terms and conditions of each other
2. Buyer pays to the secured escrow account, the seller will be notified about the buyer's payment.
3. Seller sends bitcoin to escrow wallet. And verifies the details and quantity of bitcoin
4. Buyer receives the bitcoin from the escrow admin.
5. Seller receives his payment from the escrow admin

With the rate of fraud we have online today, I think the ideal of escrow remain the best. Because with escrow you have zero per fear when running any transaction.

I'm offering escrow services using an Ethereum Dapp, called EscrowMyEther: http://escrowmyether.com/


ANN thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ethereum-escrow-service-by-trusted-sr-member-53455-ether-escrowed-2221107


How it works

The buyer initiates an escrow transaction, specifying a seller and escrow agent. The smart contract locks the buyer's funds. Once the buyer receives the item, he can release funds to the seller.

In case of dispute, escrow agent can step in to refund the buyer, or release funds to seller. Seller can also refund the buyer at any time. When the transaction is complete, the seller or buyer (if refunded) can withdraw their funds. Escrow agent can withdraw their escrow fees.

The Dapp dashboard allows the buyer/seller/escrow to view and interact with their escrow transaction history. The Dapp's code is open source and runs from the blockchain. Here's the code: https://etherscan.io/address/0x1c02ce498dc6d0d6ef05a253e021258b07eeba91

Why it's secure

The smart contract locks the buyer's funds. The Escrow agent never touches the funds, he only has the ability to refund the buyer, or release funds to seller. Even in the rare scenario the escrow agent is compromised, the hacker can only refund/release funds, but cannot steal funds.


Try it out

If you offer escrow services too, you might want to check it out. The dashboard allows all escrowed transactions and their statuses to be easily viewed. Additionally, your intervention is only required when there's a dispute. For a normal transaction, the buyer releases funds himself and no action is required on your part, saving time and transaction costs.

they just don't disclose managements behind it, in their website. ifaik
but I think it's ok, this service open source anyway

Yes, they are a form of escrow, but you have to flat pay a fee. Other escrows have lesser fees since they are not a true marketplace.

Prevention is better than cure is the most powerful quote of this days. Why? because every human being is suffering from many deadly sicknesses. We as human we love doing things limitless there's a saying LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. So how do we live our lives to the fullest if we are in near death? That's why we need to be 100% careful in our daily lifestyle. Before we eat? observe. Before we drink? think. Everything has its warning. Whatever we do have consequences.

May be worth doing a video example as it can be promoted as well as used as a tutorial.

When looking at the buying and selling thread (Ex.Account sales), the buyer always requests escrow from the seller.
Do you solve using this service?

One of a kind
Indeed, prevention is better than cure. I believe on that saying and if I were to be a campaign manager in the future I will use escrow to have a secure of sending coins to other accounts without any worries in mind knowing that I have a secure financial instrument who can do transactions and processes for me.
