Thanks for this post. I've been hoarding my btc's for a while. I think I'll start using them to buy goods/services. Is there a master list of merchants on this site somewhere?

Haha I don't think there is a master list of merchants.

But the market place section of this forum is probably what you're looking for.

read as selling BTC !, how does one use it ?

Escrow basically works like this: you don't trust the person you're trading with enough to outright trade with them so both instead trust a third-party. One party stores whatever their trading (in this case BTC) with the third-party while the other party sends their good/service/money etc. From here, if both sides agree then the BTC is released from the third-party to the party meant to receive. However, if there is a dispute then arbitration occurs with the third-party deciding who is correct and who should receive the BTC.

Where can I find a list of reliable escrow service providers?

That depends on what you are selling and which escrow service you choose to use.

I also am curious. Creating a trustworthy escrow service seems healthy for the community and a good way to make a profit.
