If you need an escrow send me a PM.
If i'm there i will respond and we can make a deal.

Plan is simple.

First both sides notify me with the trade they want to make.

I then propose a small fee (probably between 0% and 2%) and if both parties agree after a negotiation they send me the to-be traded ammount + fee to the addresses i provide and provide me with their receive addresses (both for the coin they sell and the coin they buy, in case i need to return funds).

Once i've received the coins from both sides and have checked that the ammounts match what was proposed to be payed i will send the ammounts minus any fees to the provided addresses.
If any of the participants fails to pay within 24 hours i will send whatever i received back to the provided addresses.

This is the basic deal. If you have different requirements just let me know and we can discuss a deal.
So if you both agree that you are willing to wait longer than 24 hours then we can change the deal.

Do you have a trade history? A bitcoin-otc profile? What proof can you offer that you are a legitimate escrow service for a first-timer? Don't mean to insult your godly post count or anything, but some credentials would be reassuring.

I have none of those. But i thought it would be fun to help out the community a little.
It's ment as a way to get things moving. If you don't trust me to handle you kilo's of coins then i understand.

Maybe lay out a business plan on how you are going to go about this - Ie: fees (would they be charged on a failed sale/buy etc?).

I have only been involved with Crypto since late December/January this year, but what I have noticed in such a short space of time is FEAR, its everywhere, FEAR of new members, FEAR of new currencies, FEAR of change, FEAR of exchange :) I even made a joke about in another thread and I FEARED I had induced more FEAR ;D

Its quite sad really, that as a community we generally FEAR each other, if we all FEAR then how can any of this Crypto actually work?

Anyway I would be willing to risk 500 FTC in an initial sale using you as an escrow, if I get scammed, then so be it, mobodick will be exposed as a scammer and the community will have one less, either way, whether I do or don't get scammed, it might just help to alleviate some of this FEAR 8)

Oh and I'll take a lower exchange rate, to try an alleviate the FEAR that I am in it just for profit. Say 1 BTC or LTC equivalent (after fees) for 500 FTC? (first come first served basis - I'll let mobodick decide the fees with the buyer based on my terms)

I have to get some work done now, but FEAR not, I will be back later on today.  ;D

mobodick has been a member since 2011, I don't think he would want to ruin his rep with a few stupid altcoins. Use him for escrow if you need it.

Hey, thanks for the trust :)
I'm all game, so if you find someone to trade with just let me know.

About a plan, i've updated the OP with one :)

And here i was hoping that benders trusty head would win people over.,  ;D

Man, I can almost taste the Irony  ;D ;D ;D

Disclosure: I'm 100% Heterosexual and I didn't really want to trade anyway.  ;)

Good luck with your escrow plan!  8)

Hey, i am 40% Irony!

I'm trying to compile a list of Altcoin escrow agents at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AibiuqEWnCPZdEN2NlBsUm9PQUoyelk2REVhd0hzSUE#gid=0


Want me to add your name to the list?

Nah., i don't think there is a big need at the moment.
But thanks.

Personally, I disagree...I see tons of trade and WTS threads here daily, more scam accusations then we've seen here historically, yet little in the way of new escrow offerings. That's my own 2 Satoshis though.


Feel free to give me a holler if you change your mind.

Better use BitHalo or Blackhalo and you do not need third party escrow:
