The only requirements to be an escrow is you need to be a trusted person in this industry. build good relationship to the member in this forum.
Then be polite to anyone here, helpful, kind, and build good friendship.

what do you mean to the escrow, if to the account. I really don't know how but I know some how to increase. It will only increase if there is someone want to add trust to you buy donating first. For example, in the signature campaign then you manage it then if the signature campaign is ended the owner would feedback your performances for being a manager to their project. If he like you for being a good manager, you will earn trust by visiting your profile.

To be an escrow you need reputation and trust, trust and reputation cant be build in a short time, one of the way to get reputation is by getting a good review from trusted member whether you get it from managing campaign or doing transaction, and proactive to help other members can become a good way to start gaining reputation

Yes reputation is one of the things that person will build in his starting escrow service because if someone is lacking of that reputation then less people will trust him, so it is better to build it piece by piece and start it buy doing micro transactions and it will be the start of getting positive trust and having a good reputation and after that it will be a good reputation and an easy escrow service.

I'm looking for they are very versed in earnings on the crypto currency, Well, why live Bitcoin in another crypto currency if Bitcoin itself in the future will bring huge profits? I see Bitcoin and future price growth as predicted by experts, the growth will be several times

Starting an escrow service is not so easy at it may look like, because you need to gain a trust of the community that gathers on the bitcointalk.org.
Also, your feedback needs to be positive, and people need to be sure that you have already made many trades or some transactions with the forum users, and there were no issues about it.

With escrow, you obviously need at least hero member rank account, but legendary is the most recommended rank.
You also need to be recognized by the participants, and there cannot be anything shady in your history or current behaviour. Remember, that the people need to trust you to make you able to start such a service.

If you fulfill all the terms of the transaction completely, then any owner of the company will be able to pay attention and increase his trust in a good manager.

I think the only requirements for escrow, you must be trustworthy person. Meaning, you will build trust in this industry
which is the bitcoin community you should get their trust and others.

And we all know that trust cant be build or gain overtime which means it would really takes time for you to build and earn the trust of community which is really very hard.Anyone could really become an escrow as long there are people who would trust your service that you offer but I would say it would be hard for starters because of the competition against reputable members here on this forum but still don't lose hope as long you are honest to your service then it would still do.

Actually, being escrow or to become an escrow it doesn't need any requirements I think the only requirements to be needed for you to become an escrow is you need to have someone here in this community who entrusted you, or someone will endorse or recommend you here because they know you. Meaning, you need to build trust in this industry.

To be an escrow. You need to be a trusted member here. In your case, you have a default trust. You need to get trust rating in order for you to be an escrow. Just start it with a small trading. You could get trust from that. For example, you trade your btc to a member here. If the trade was successful. The member you have traded will give you positive feedback.

I think a trust is an important point. but on the other we also have to have the skill and ability to do manage a transaction. because an escrow required for an advanced was an intelligent and astute. escrow is a pretty difficult job to do.

I think you need to build a good a relationship in the community in this thread, we need to be kind and humble in this forum, know to talk nicely to the member. or there should be at least one or more of the community in this forum will prove that you are trustworthy.

One person wont be enough to prove the community that you are trustworthy since you could make trades anytime with another account and you can just simply trade yourself in one another.Its not convincing at all thats why its better to have more trades with other person the more the better and trust would really build up in the long run.

In my point of view and perception regarding about your concern, for you to become an escrow no.1 rule you must be trustworthy in this industry or on this thread. You must build trust to anyone here in this forum, if there is some member here give their trust to you and you prove that you are worth it, that member is the first community who will tell about the transaction you've made, meaning there is no requirement except on having an account in bitcointalk.org that's it.

How about your account? Are you saying that you're trusted because lauda gave you a positive feedback? No dude. There are many escrows here don't have a greentrust but still trusted and there are some turns to scam people for money.

Members who have a greentrust they have an advantage for being an escrow.

This was a joke.

But What I want (What i think)

There need to a new section on this forum "Escrows"

Why? There are few site, that are providing escrow service, but they are not trusted, run by a single person, dont know if they are legit. We can not trust them.

Why Choose this forum: First of all this forum is Legit. Run by many people.
Secondly trusted guy can apply for "Escrows" service.

Requirement for escrow serivce:
- Reputable
- His picture and address will be verified by the team. (Verification can be done through courier service)
- Contact address will be verified.
e.g

This can protect everyone from escrow scams, like we see here previously #ifuknowwhatimean

Trusted members, how are they trusted in the first place? by other trusted members. having green trust means nothing as I can see they're getting away with ignoring payments to some members.
If you try to be an escrow they'll tag you saying that you have no trust or past experience, yeah I tried to have experience but no body accepted my deals.
Results are in this forum only exclusive members(inner circle) are trusted.

In Order o Become an Escrow in this Forum then You Need to Gain Some Trust in this Forum And In Order to Gain Trust Then You Need to Grow your Rank and After that I Suggest you to Offer your Escrow Service Free For Some Days Then Start to Charge Only Little Fees For your Service and Be a Good Escrow......

Escrowing is the person who handles the fund for the both the parties involves in one trade. You could have the trusted in the forum. Nowadays many related sites were usind automated escrow in btc trades. For Example: localbitcoins they are automated escrow which can hold fund the two parties and it has automated dispution in some noted minutes.

Yes. Trustworthiness is the most important factor. There is nothing written or guide to become an escrow. You have to be here from a long time, should give proper suggestions and ruling in the favor of parties and never steel a Satoshi.

In my own understanding As an escrow the no.1 thing that he/she have is must trustworthy in bitcointalk forum. Meaning, he need to build trust first in this industry. Its up for the escrows if he likes to show his identity to the people here but not necessarily needed, its fine if he don't like. Then if you are going to transact other's here you must deal with them properly and must be fulfill your transaction for you to gain trust to them.

Being an escrow and launching an escrow service is a difficult thing to achieve if you are just getting started here and you just had an account without good feedbacks because good feedbacks and trust rate is one of the concern in choosing an escrow so if you to be a escrow then you should work for that good feedbacks and also good trust rate and after that you can now start your service.

To be escrow you need to be reputable member of the community. Reputation is the key here, you will have to earn it over time.
If you are newbie, junior member or full member and you didn't interact or participate in any trades before, it is more than sure no one will use you as escrow.
The problem is, that because of account selling is rampant there is no way to determine who is who anymore. (Look up: master-p exit scam)

You yourself will be the one t entitle yourself as an escrow but it is upto the community in here if they will use your service. Like what they have already mentioned, before you can start you first must have to prove that you are a trustworthy person and that you are transparent enough to know that you will not do shady stuffs when it comes to handling other peoples money and items.

Start from zero or nothing. You need to gain fame from your transactions it's not an instant but you can do it as time pass by. You need areputation to be an escrow and of course a high rank for people will be more attractive to people will transact with you. The good reputation is the key to ba an escrow so you need to start making transactions now to gain the reputation needed to be an escrow.

I have seen countless of people discuss this already. Countless of people also wants to do this kind of job even if they know for themselves that they don't have the trust of the community yet. Being an escrow means you are trusted by the community and they trust that you will not run away with the money and you will exercise complete neutrality in deciding cases. It is not just for everyone.

Usually we need to have positive trust but here I seen some persons who are offering there service of escrow .
I mean if you will see that here if new campaign is started then sometimes avirune ( named user ) got job manager as an escrow .
Since avirune has no trust at his profile .
So we can say it is overall reputation only which didn't need any green or trust digit .

This would be a tough thing for an individual who would tend to be an escrow since the competition now is high and there are lots of reputable escrows in the forum. Well its not bad to start an escrow service but people would definitely choose first who are older ones which they could saw thats reliable enough among other just like those starters.

Yeah, I really don't see a way for a complete newbie to gain entrance into this current circle of escrowing. I would think the best route is to start off as a user offering paid services and to gain trust that way. Then to act as a conduit for others selling similar services. Otherwise, scout around the forum for people offering small services for small fees, offer a free escrow first to gain trust?

It's basically a building of trust and reputation.

You have to be trusted to make an escrow service. First of all you can do is gain your positive trust. How to get positive trust? Go to marketplace sections and try to buy or sell some goods or services. If you face good partners you will get it (positive feedback from them).
This is an anonymous forum, but how can a lot of money spinning here? Positive trust and recommendation from other users is the best asset if you want to offer some services that involve money without real identity.

Not actually a requirement but, you can make a thread that introduces all about yourself, your jobs if you have the capability to handle big transactions, where do you live, what is your business if you have, your account must be in high rank and have reputation in this forum in short you have to build trust first.

For escrow we need companies that are really corporate identity. I mean, companies need to do this job legally on a legal ground. People are more comfortable when the company's identity and employees are known.

As I wrote, I heard of Bitrated, but I didn't use it.
There are some screenshots here https://www.bitrated.com/faq
I know that many people trade MRAI using this platform and I did a quick check on it. I don't know how good or reputable it is and I am certainly not affiliated with them.
From here you'll have to do your own research...

You have to be trusted is the only qualifier. The people who are most used for Escrow have been here for years, done dozens of trades and have built up a decent reputation around the forum. Even then, people have abused their position of Escrow and stolen money, so you should still be wary. I don't think there are any official Escrow titles, as that would imply they are endorsed by the forum. Very few escrows are actually needed and all the deals could probably be handled by less than 10 organised people.

Are the identities of these people known? So you know who the real person is? (Social media accounts, phone number etc.)
As far as I know, many people hang out here anonymously. As you said, even people who are 100% safe can make a lot of mistakes for bitcoin.

No there identities are not usually known and it is not required.
Escrow are usually members who have proved their integrity by doing various fair trades here.
It is based on a trust system.With time and continuous fair deals the get lots of positive trust (numbers shown in green below their username) making their account valuable.
For example if someone's account is worth 1 btc due to all good rep he has,he would obviously not scam anyone for say 0.5 btc.
This is not to say that he will cheat for more than 1 btc Cheesy

The point here is that an escrow is safe for an amount his account is worth of.

There's no official/authorized job, from what I know. All they need is a highly trusted Bitcointalk account.
The idea is that such account worth a lot (if somebody would sell that, heh). They do this to help the community, not only to earn some money. But if they screw it up, they'll get negative trust and their reputation and account will worth nothing.

For escrow we need companies that are really corporate identity. I mean, companies need to do this job legally on a legal ground. People are more comfortable when the company's identity and employees are known.

You have to be trusted is the only qualifier. The people who are most used for Escrow have been here for years, done dozens of trades and have built up a decent reputation around the forum. Even then, people have abused their position of Escrow and stolen money, so you should still be wary. I don't think there are any official Escrow titles, as that would imply they are endorsed by the forum. Very few escrows are actually needed and all the deals could probably be handled by less than 10 organised people.

Are the identities of these people known? So you know who the real person is? (Social media accounts, phone number etc.)
As far as I know, many people hang out here anonymously. As you said, even people who are 100% safe can make a lot of mistakes for bitcoin.

But who gives the title "Escrow"? Is there anyone authorized for this job?

Everyone is authorized to be a escrow but if you offering escrow service you must be a trusted one and you must be responsible to every transaction that you involved.

I see people working as "Escrow" in the forum. These people work like a kind of brokerage house in their bitcoin payments. And they get commission from the transactions made. I know that reliability is very important for this.

There's no official/authorized job, from what I know. All they need is a highly trusted Bitcointalk account.
The idea is that such account worth a lot (if somebody would sell that, heh). They do this to help the community, not only to earn some money. But if they screw it up, they'll get negative trust and their reputation and account will worth nothing.
