As of January 2015, I no longer have the time available to give escrow the attention necessary to provide a quality service.  As such, I am no longer available to handle escrow.

I have been asked numerous times to hold escrow for a variety of altcoin initial offerings. Please do not contact me with such requests. Below is my standard response to any request to escrow an altcoin initial offering. If you send me such a request, you will simply receive the following in response:


It doesn't matter how much of the "bitcoin take" you are willing to share, and it doesn't matter how much of your pre-mined coins you are willing to share, your initial offering does not interest me.

Just successfully escrowed 9.5 btc through Danny. He is extremely professional and covers all bases. The transaction went as smooth as possible.
I would recommend danny as a safeguard for any trade with some heft to it.

Edit- see reference link
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268145.0

Agreed Danny is very professional.  Will definitely use in the future when need arises.

Another escrow held by Danny. 3.58 btc

   The buyer sent me the gdmp code before I had loaded the escrow address so there was a little confusion, but all is well that ends well.

Dannyhamilton is a great and trustworthy friend of mine. Have done business with him twice so far,and hes a true star! Just did an escrow transaction for me with 3 coins,and also traded about 20 coins with him. I have full trust in him from now on when dealing with him for trades,that I dont even really need to use an escrow service when trading coins with him. +! Keep it up brotha!

Hey Danny have you gotten a chance to look at the PM I sent you regarding an escrow.

Also Danny, I just received the refund check from your moneypack.

I'll be cashing it tomorrow, so if you don't hear otherwise by tomorrow night everything's good and you can toss the receipt.

For the record I sent first on this trade and recieved a fully loaded moneypack.
I hit a limit with greendot and they have mailed me a check.

Smooth trade regardless.

thanks for providing this service - at least you have some Trust to assure customers.

Yes, and I've replied via PM.

+1 Again for Danny. Did over a 2 thousand dollar escrow trade through dannyhamilton this time,yet again! You are the man and please stay here for a while. :)

Used Danny as an escrow for the transaction with hackattack2077 and it went very smoothly.  I will use his services in the future when needed.

I recently traded just a little amount of coins to this guy. he really is trustworthy trading coins with him wont need some escrow service. even though the trade wasn't that fast but still it went out smooth and i clearly understand that we're having time difference.

thanks again mate. i will do +1 when i got hold of my pc.

Just got done with a trade, very good escrow even when a problem popped up

Edit: another trade made a lot safer and easier thanks to Danny  :)

Very Organised and convenient. Will deal with again!

Very professional and quick to respond for a miner escrow of 16btc...went off without a hitch...will use again in the future

I confirm one escrow successful between crashoveride54902 and a groupbuy including me and Charles999.

Waiting for an other escrow.

EDIT : Second escrow successful between jermwerty and a groupbuy including me and Charles999.

Good job DannyHamilton.

Used for a 19.5 BTC transaction and was very professional and made the transaction supper smooth.   Very happy with the transaction.  Will use again.

DannyHamilton escrowed 10 BTC in a successful transaction that I was one side of. Secure and professional service, would use again.

was the buyer of this escrow...2nd time i used him and was perfect again :)

you around for escrow? tryed the call me thing but didn't work

maybe he's having a party or asleep.
I'm on GMT+8.

Anyone who's used this service care to vouch for the provider? I'll be needing an escrow real soon
and I've read far too many posts on John's thread regarding him being absent and not keeping his escrow service
users updated and I don't want to have to wait too long for a transaction to complete. Thanks in advance!

I'm around now.  I'm sorry I missed your call. I'm not sure why it didn't work for you, I've had other people contact me that way successfully in the past.

If you're still looking for this escrow, send me a PM with the details.


No party. No sleep.  Just didn't receive the call for some unknown reason.

i can vouch for danny and if you've read this thread and his trust you'd see...used him for about 25btc so far w/o problem :)

i think google hung up on me lol

Wanted to vouch for Danny. Did a $1000 transaction w/ another user, and Danny was spot on. He was extremely professional, communicated the entire time - asked good questions that I didn't think of during the transaction. Danny covered all the bases, and went above and beyond as well.

I highly recommend using Danny's Escrow service, and I plan on using him for the foreseeable future.

Thanks Danny!

I'd like to use your services Danny. I need you to please escrow .39 BTC. Let me know if you're available to do this.

PM sent.

I am in the states and about to buy 1btc and would like to use you as an escrow. How do you prefer that I send you the money? What are my options?
Thank You.

PM sent.

DannyHamilton just escrowed a transaction for me and everything went perfectly fine. I would call ours a nonstandard escrow, but he went to the trouble to accommodate us. Thanks, Danny!

I sent you a pm.

Thank you Danny.

Sold a digital good using Danny's escrow service.
Danny is trustworthy and reliable.
Transaction went smoothly.

To add positive or negative trust for someone:

Click the "Trust" link under their name on the left side of the post (or near the bottom of their profile page).

Enter the amount of BTC (or equivalent value) that they could have taken if they were not trustworthy in the text box labeled "Risked BTC". It is okay to put 0 here if you are just making a general comment about whether you trust the person or not, and not commenting about a specific transaction.

If the person acted in an untrustworthy manner, then mark the "This This rating is negative" checkbox.

Optionally: If there is a URL with discussion about the transaction (or just general discussion about the reason the person is or isn't trustworthy), you can paste a link in the text box labeled "Reference link"

Type a short description about why you are leaving feedback in the text box labeled "Comments".

Click the "Submit" button.

Hello,
Are you willing to do escrow for this design contest,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=366187.msg3914826#msg3914826
Reply in that thread if you are interested.

Posted reply in thread.  Send PM to contest organizer and ajax3592

Why?  Are you getting a license to act as an escrow agent on Jan 10?  Or are you just going to pretend you are an escrow agent and continue to operate illegally?

Link please to the United States licensing requirements imposed on an individual holding an item of value in escrow for a private (non real estate) transaction between two individuals?

Yea, id like to see that too.  :P

Do you charge a fee?

Please learn to read before wasting my time with petty and spiteful drivel:


If someone chooses to send me a gratuity then I graciously accept it, but it is not a requirement.

So you abuse (use wrongly) the term escrow and then you don't even do it right....  weird.

Perhaps the word escrow means something different in your language than it does in mine.

Merriam-Webster says:

Escrow (noun) - a deed, a bond, money, or a piece of property held in trust by a third party to be turned over to the grantee only upon fulfillment of a condition

So long as bitcoin is considered to be either "money" or "a piece of property" by all parties involved in the arrangement, it seems that I'm using the term properly.  Is there a "right" way to "hold in trust" and "turn over to the grantee only upon fulfillment of a condition" that is done differently than how I do it?

Hey,

Just wondering if you are available in 1-2 hrs time for an escrow trade?

Thanks.

Hey,

Just pm'ed you with an update on the trade between myself and pjcltc.

Provided confidence-inspiring escrow service.  DannyHamilton offers the most comprehensive BTC escrow witnessed to date.  Recommended for even high-level transactions.  Great communicator who is willing to take the time to assist, educate and provide sage advice. 

Great Escrow service. Big vouch for him.

i need escrow

Who are you trading with?  How many bitcoins will I be holding?  What are the release conditions on the escrow?

.9 BTC AND A 500USD UKASH VOUCHER CODE, SAMETIME TRANSFER

xD coinsnewb r u trolling or what

Hi, I want to use your service for buying a skype gift card, how can we do it?

Find someone that is selling a skype gift card.

Negotiate with them the cost in bitcoins for the card.

Contact me with the userID of the person that you are buying from and the details of the transaction.

I'll send both of you an escrow agreement that will include a bitcoin address.

After you both confirm that I've correctly stated the terms of the exchange in the escrow agreement, then you send the negotiated amount of bitcoins to the bitcoin address from the agreement.

Once the escrow address has received the number of confirmations stated in the agreement, the seller provides you with the skype gift card.

You notify me when the gift card is redeemed.

I then release the bitcoins from the escrow address to the seller.

If there is any disagreement about whether or not you have received a valid skype gift card, then I'll open a public discussion in the "Scam Accusations" sub-forum.  You will both publically present any evidence you have in support of what you each claim has happened.  I facilitate the conflict resolution to the best of my ability and will release the bitcoins in as fair a way as I possibly can within the constraints of the escrow agreement.

This is the guy:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=385760  The guy is koap
The guy agreed to sell me a skype gift card in 2.5$ and the credit of the card is 5$, so please do the rest.

me and Fakhoury worked with DannyHamilton an escrow deal and all went perfect.

he is so nice and so trustworthy i recommend him.

A dear brother, a friend and everything you can imagine.

Danny, thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart :)
