Bitcoin Forum

Hello.
Can I be like third person (escrow) I know that there is a lot of webpage that is escrows etc... But I wanted to be an third person on this forum. Is it possible? If yes, then what I need to do? I can sent all informations about me if needed.

The short answer would be no.

You don't have enough trades on the forum for anyone to trust you. Why wouldn't I use someone else that's held $1000s worth of Bitcoins at a time rather than you

I would suggest locking the thread and moving on. Being an escrow won't make you money either. It's mainly to help the community.

You could, But like person above said, you don't have enough trades done etc. And even if you would have some positive trust, nobody would use you anyway.

As there are many very old and good escrows, and they even don't take fee ( or takes 1% fee only) so you wouldn't earn from it.

By that thought process no one can ever come in and be an escrow in the future. Ofc he can try and set it up. You dont need yto use him but others may want to. He may be cheaper, or quicker, or friendlier.

Yes @Altitude is right. If here in forum has a mindset like @cpfreeplz and @twa. Yes he have no enough trades to become an escrow but do you think that all the trusted escrow this present time started like him? They all started with zero, with nothing because they want to help others and that's the reason why its not easy to become an escrow, But if you want to become a trusted escrow you must gain trust from your customer and from the all members, and must be responsible of what you are doing in this forum. And if you want to become an escrow mate check all there threads this trusted escrow for what they post and what they do' https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0

Yes, but they didn't start off when there were already many reputable escrows around.  Try to understand that.  It's not 2010 anymore.

Yes mate that's also right and everyone avoid from scammers, but how about if these trusted escrow gone in this forum and they become busy in real  life and focus to their families who will be the next escrow if there's will be no one start from the zero and to lay some trusts. But as what I've said its not too easy to become an escrow in this big community. I'm not one sided I'm just explaining the good and the bad sides from the both sides.

Who cares, new escrows can still try to set up shop. And with competitive rates, or maybe even some automated service they can knock out those who have been doing it since 2010. Its time for a revamp if you ask me because even the trusted escrows had turned to scam in the past and we all know the trust system cant be trusted. I urge the op to try and make something happen for himself. You never know. It could be the start to a very profitable business..

You all are missing my point, apparently.   Feel free to try to be an escrow.  I'm saying it's going to be hard for you to do it, because thers are trusted escrows who haven't scammed that one would have to be a lobotomized monkey not to choose instead of some untrusted,  unproven, shit-smearing NOOB.  I find it suspicious that people so badly want to get into a business where there is so little to be made unless you scam.  How's your reading comprehension doing now?

you need to have good trust very high trust actually, you can not just be escrow from nowhere, also you need to be pretty well known here so people will be more confident, you can begin to build your trust without abusing, by selling stuff and then go to the altsection, plenty of people ask for escrow

I think there are already a lot of escrow providers available on the forum and they are damn reputed and trusted. and they have huge past record of their escrow.
I don't think a Sr member with zero trust can start an escrow service. and escrow service is not a profitable thing. why you want to become escrow? to scam peoples?

There is an existing list of those trusted escrows but sometimes they are busy and does not respond when you need them. There are quite a few active members here who are in the DT list that can accommodate such request in the absence of the escrows.

Nowadays you cant trust those High Ranking account that volunteers themselves as escrow. Just look at the marketplace and you'll see a lot of accounts being sold, one of those can act as an old member here and act as an escrow. So better stick with the escrows in the trusted list.

After seeing about his trusting summary and I don't saw any good feedback from the another member and this is having a high possibility of turning into a scam.

Its very difficult to be an escrow its because you need to prove yourself that you are trustworthy enough,  but seems you dont have any trusted vouch for people you have made a deal from the past, so its for now its better get some good reputation first or shall we say its better for you to not continue this plan because money can temp people and you might gonna do some bad things if people will put a large amount of btc in your escrow service  offered.

I think the most obvious question that most people are going to ask is, why?

Why would you want to setup as an escrow? Is it to make money? If so, that seems like a very hard way to go about making money... there are plenty of escrows that are either free or with very small margins. How do you propose to compete with such low fees? Also, without high levels of trust and reputation, it will be difficult to find customers willing to use your service anyway.

If you are wanting to setup an escrow business to simply help the community... then while I admire your desire to try to help... there are already plenty of services here that already do it quite successfully and having another one, just makes it more muddled and confusing for someone looking for an escrow service, thereby possibly not helping the community at all.

Good luck

Its been explained. If one can develop a 24hours a day escrow via automation then he or she call kill it here. No longer will there be a wait while one is trying to find an escrow and when its time to release the funds you wont need to wait for the escrow to get home, wake up, finish work, check his pm ect.

You've got serious problems. There are many ways to do this properly and take over as a noob. You're just keeping your mind so closed and thinking inside the box that you miss it but that's expected seeing as though you are just a sheep and know no better.

I guess that being an escrow isn't that easy at first. First, I'd give all my details publicly, such as my ID and stuff. Afterwards, make several big deals on-site and gain reputation. That's the way to work.

You cant simply come in and try to do a few deals to build rep, but you can come in relatively unknown but if you can prove your trustworthy you can still offer to escrow.

first you must built your reputation this is one reason member in this forum want to use your service
and make a thread to offer your service, have stake address is good so member know you're account is not from bought
but being to offer escrow service to help member in this forum, many escrow offer they service without fee  :)

If our reputation or our trust is neutral, what can we do for get positive trust? I think Escrow service is for positive trust member, and for get it we must hard and smart work.

is there any active trusted escrow service at all right now?

Yes. not only one. there is lots of trusted and legit escrow services. there is a full list of escrows in service discussion. and some escrow can be found in service section.

Look in this section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=161.0

Woah I was out of the loop here. Could you please explain to me how this scenario could be automated?:


User1: selling physical good xyz

User2: I'll buy it for 0.02BTC

User1: deal. Send the funds to automated escrow address 1SHiTiDeADuRpXXXXXxxxXxxdurp

User2: sent {TXID}

User1: did you get it?

User2: No.

User1: I sent it though. Here's proof: tracking number 123456789

User2: ya well I didn't get it. Refund me.

User1: no way

User2: yes way

User 1: I'm telling the automated escrow

User2: me too.

Automated escrow:------DOES NOT COMPUTE-----Funds sent to burn address----

The end.

I think you can be a 3rd person for someone if you can clear this scam accusation against you : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1674878

Otherwise you can be a 3rd person for me to buy candy with local currency  ;D ;D ;D

With your trust ratings, its not gonna happen. Who would trust an escrow which has a negative trust ratings? I think Only the qualified to be an escrow is a higher rank. Hero or legendary i think. From neutral trust to green mark trust rating is qualified to this service. Which is not for you. I suggest to you to find other service which you can offer aside from escrow service.

Definitely you are qualified to be an escrow here. Only hero rank or above can do the escrow service. Plus your trust rating is negative. Means you did something wrong maybe thats because you scam people here. Escrow must be a trustworthy and you are not trustworthy. It will be hard for you to be an escrow so dont think about it. Beside, being an escrow is not profitable.
Even in a signature campaign you are not qualified.
