Title: Trusted Escrow Service
Post by: Lotus on August 28, 2012, 03:46:56 AM
Hi all,

Are there any trusted escrow services that can be trusted and have been around for long enough?

I have surveyed the forum for escrow services, but I couldn't find any significant consensus.

There are individuals who will perform escrow.  They hang out in #bitcoin-escrow.  The #bitcoin-otc Web of Trust (WoT) history will help you lessen your risk.

BTCrow and ThruCoin are two that have been around for a while, though I've no first-hand experience with either:

I offer a free escrow service, I've done plenty of transactions with members here and I've done 1 escrow deal which you can read the feedback of in my thread (look in my sig).

Thanks for the info guys.
How much can we trust either of ThruCoin or BTCrow? (in terms of BTCs in a single transaction).

just by the way, thrucoin is me.

so if you want to know how much to trust 'thrucoin', you can do your due diligence based on 'payb.tc'.
