Title: I'm thinking of getting into escrowing. How would I do this?
Post by: Decoded on November 16, 2015, 04:51:17 AM
Hey guys, I want to get into the business of escrowing. I'm not looking to scam, I just want people who trade with me not to be hesitant when trading with me. (I want to be trusted by people)

I'm just looking for a few tips, or maybe a down to earth talk about how I can never be an escrower, as I I'm just a full member.

Thanks for all your help, guys, even if it is the latter.

Doing escrow is not the way to become trusted on this forum. Already , there are many highly trusted and reputable escrows present here.

My advice = Just be honest and keep dealing with honesty without keeping a hope that anyone should trust you or not.

You can't. It requires a lot of trust on this forum to be escrow and even if you open up such a service, no one will choose you as an escrow because you're not trusted enough. There are already enough trusted escrows (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0) on this forum, who have been doing this from a long time and quite frankly there isn't a need for new ones. But even if there was such a need there are other members who are more suited for it than you.

Firstly I'm gonna talk about what you should do if you are an escrow:
1) Stake a PGP public key or simpler your keybase.
2) Sign every new address with your PGP key.
3) Mathamatical part of it:For every trust feedback you have means you can be trusted for ~0.01 BTC, rank makes it go up to ~0.015-0.03.
But well now down to the earth, there is no need for any more escrows, master-p and other major escrows are online quite frequently.
Even if there was some need for escrow, you could've had to have at least 50 trust ratings to be considered for an escrow for a normal deal.
