Devscrow is an established escrow service incorporating the perfect mixture of security and practicality. For all standard trades we use a dedicated Trezor stored in a secure location. If we’re off-site we use Breadwallet. (Secured by Touch ID). Up to this point Devscrow’s provided escrow service for over 400 trades. I’ve included a fee breakdown below

All collaboration on my part will be signed with my PGP Key (https://keybase.io/dev/key.asc/)

Standard Trades: 1% or 0.01BTC, whichever is greater.

Tips are greatly appreciated if you feel your transaction went smoothly.
Let me know if you have any questions, I'm looking forward to working with you!

FAQ

What is an escrow provider?

An escrow provider is a trusted third party that holds and releases funds according to individual transaction terms agreed upon by both the buyer and the seller.

Why did you start doing this?
I decided to start Devscrow after witnessing an increase in scammers in the cryptocurrency communities. Devscrow helps protect all parties involved in a trade. Therefore, effectively reducing the amount of scam attempts in the community. A community with a diminishing amount of users with malicious intent proves welcoming to new members learning about cryptocurrencies.

History of development?
In the past I’ve developed Crypto related sites including the famous “DevFaucet” which at one point had upwards of 3 thousand users and paid out over 7BTC. I also sprouted out the BTCDevelop network which provided Bitcoin developers with free hosting for their Bitcoin related scripts.

I also use Multisig wallets! I've chosen a few close family members and friends to sign off on transactions. 3 signatures are required to release the escrow.

you should try to add you to the scrow section

Bitcoinist just wrote an article about Devscrow! Check it out, http://bitcoinist.net/crypto-community-service-dev-escrow/

Ok, so I'd like to start an escrow for a sale transaction.  Here's the details as I understand them.

Buyer - drukoz2
Seller - kgb2mining

Goods - 1 x Gigampz breakout board for HP PSU, 1 x HP 800w PSU.
Open question - drukoz, do you also need the 6-pin cables for the board, or do you have them already?  I can supply up to 4 cables if you need them for the same cost.

Terms - total of 0.1 BTC, including domestic USPS flat rate Priority box shipped to buyer.  Package will be shipped at the latest on Monday, August 4th but hopefully sooner.  The only reason it may take that long is that I'm expecting a different PSU solution to replace the one I'm selling to arrive tomorrow (Thursday).  If all goes well it will ship by Friday morning.

Additional info - I'm posting a couple pictures below of the goods for sale, buyer to receive actual items in pictures as per terms.

drukoz - can you please confirm the information above?  If we're all good we can begin the transaction.


Pictures:

Edit - nevermind I now see the mention about cables.  They will be included.

PSU, board and cables shipped out a couple hours ago.  Pics of the packaging below, and I will be sending the tracking number via PM after this post.

@devthedev Nice to see that u have started an escrow service and got covered in bitcoinist. Would u mind to tell me what do u mean by Biometric Secured Escrow ? Is there any Biometric ID involved ?

Thanks, I have a Verifi P2000 fingerprint reader for my computer and I use Touch ID on a dedicated iPhone. All I need now is a device that scans my eye for entrance :P Thanks for the inquiry!

WoW ...that seems like a sci-fi thriller James Bond ;)

Thanks for the feedback! I look forward to providing escrow services for your future trades!

An excellent service and highly recommended!

satisfactory service
do not hesitate
to deal with these people  ;D

It was a pleasure working with you. I'm looking forward to providing escrow services for your trades in the future!

I was recently asked in another thread why the escrow addresses start with 3, here's why! (:


Devscrow uses Multi-sig Wallet addresses which is more secure than traditional transacting methods.  In the event that one of my private keys are lost or stolen (not very likely thanks to my Biometrics and dedicated rigs), it’s no longer a catastrophe. The concept in m-of-n signature schemes is pretty simple. More than one private key (m) is needed out of a total number generated (n). The process for depositing is exactly the same as a standard address that starts with a 1. For example, in a 3-of-4 scenario, you would need three out of four private keys to withdraw the Bitcoin. It's incomparably harder to steal 3 private keys located at different locations, than one.

You can see the technical breakdown on how they work and how they're created here (http://uscyberlabs.com/blog/2014/06/14/how-to-bitcoin-multi-signature-address-wallet/)

Conducting a late night trade? Yep, I'm still online to provide escrow for you!

I would need to use for some stellar soon.

Sounds good, start a group PM or post the details here.

Just got back from my morning bridge workout. Here's a picture from the top of it in sunny Florida (:

Devthedev is highly recommended escrow service ,

he escrowed for me and everything went smooth exactly as it should!

Will be using again in the future thats for sure!

The first escrow went so smoothly, we're going to do it again!

Seller - me
Buyer - drukoz

Items - 2 x HP PSU / Gigampz breakout board / 6-pin PCI-e cable sets (8 total cables)

Terms - .17 BTC total including USPS priority shipping

I am going out within the next 3 hours, so if money is funded into the escrow by then it will ship today.  Otherwise it will ship Monday as that's the next time I'll be able to make it to a Post Office.

used his escrow service and all i can say is amazing. highly recommended

I appreciate it! I can't wait to work with each of you in the future.

Are you in need of an escrow provider? Use Devscrow, the most secure Bitcointalk escrow service. Utilizing Biometrics, multi-sig wallets, dedicated devices.

All you need to do is post the trade details in the thread, a group PM or send me a message on Telegram at 386-227-6192 and we can get started!

Doesn't that mean you're technically operating this at a loss (albeit small)?

Either way, good luck with the escrow - nice to see another active member able to help the community out for free.

Yeah, it costs me about .0001/transaction. I'm not worried about it :)

I feel that charging nothing for escrow makes the Bitcoin economy larger and healthier. I also rather focus towards the long term economy rather than short-term profit.

Thanks!

I've updated the OP with some frequently asked questions in regards to DevScrow.

Contact me today!

This is slightly off-topic, but anyway.

I don't know exactly how you are employing biometrics in your security, but just so you know, biometrics are typically WEAKER in security than a strong randomly generated password.

Most fingerprint scanners can be fooled (Mythbusters did an episode on this). Additionally, if you are being forced to decrypt your wallet, you can claim to forget your password but you can't "forget" your fingerprints, an attacker can get hold of your fingers much easier than your password.

Also with the multisig, the best way to employ that would be the following:

Have the buyer and seller of the goods provide you each with a pubkey of a bitcoin address they own and generate a 2 of 3 address using their pubkeys plus yours. This way any transaction you make has to be signed by either buyer/seller so you cannot run away with the money, making it almost trust-free. Additionally it makes things easier for you as if the transaction works out OK the buyer/seller can sign the transaction themselves so you don't even need to do anything.

Right, the biometric entry is just the first level of security.


That's an interesting method I may implement in the future. However, there's a small learning curve for the user seeking escrow.

Whether it's a signature campaign, hardware trade, IPO, etc. I can provide escrow services for you!
All you need to do is start a group PM or post the terms of the trade within this thread.

Remember, all escrow agreements will be signed with my PGP Key (https://keybase.io/dev/key.asc/).

I'm looking forward to helping you out!

- Devin.

Wanted to provide positive feedback for the couple transactions we just did.  Everything went smoothly, will certainly use again.

Thanks for making my job easy (: I'm looking forward to providing escrow services for you in the future.

Dear devthedev,

We are looking for escrow for ADCoin ICO, is it possible that you could do that for us?

Thank you!

Alex@ADCoin Team

Sure! I've sent you a PM.

devthedev Check personal messages. I had difficulties with investment in EQX.

I've just sent you a solution. Thanks!

Hello Dev,

Looking to do business with babahobaba. Need to use your Escrow service.

Thanks

Alright! Start a group PM that includes the terms you guys have agreed to.

seller : quangvuvn
100 $ starbucks card for 20-30$ / BTC

would enjoy a pm dev to both me and quangvuvn

I had problems with investment in EQX, but devthedev quickly reacted and solved my problem, having returned back my btc. Thanks.

I am likely to start a thread selling items on the forum.

I would like to have a escrow so people can potentially ask you for a refund if i cant prove that the item was sent.

Right now i have lots of Qora that i could send to you to hold which you could liquidate if i dont send the items for whatever reason. The goods i will sell would potentially only be say 5-10%/sale of the amount of the qora BTC worth i would escrow with you.

Would you be interested in doing something like this?

I wouldn't mind providing escrow for your sales thread, but I rather not hold any alt-currencies at the moment due to security implications.
PM me if you have other ideas.

Actually now i think about it i think i am over complicating it.

If you can do escrow that would be great (just for BTC). I will let you know once i have my post up and i will link you to it. Thanks.

Sounds good.

Contacted you about my escrow but still no response.

I'm online and available to provide escrow for you!
Let me know if you need assistance!

Nice work on the SocialXBot escrow service. I'm glad my BTC was kept safe with you during the ICO.

Great work on Socialxbot with the escrow service, everything came out smooth.

Contact me today if you need an escrow provider for your ICO! Devscrow currently holds the smallest escrow fee for IPO's on Bitcointalk! Only 2.5%

Great escrow service, devthedev is helpful and replies within seconds. Transactions went smooth.

Great transaction with devthedev. I recommend devscrow and will do more business with him.

Very good escrow service!
Responded very quickly.

When you say biometrics, do you mean your iphone's finger scanner? ;) :P

From earlier in the thread:


I use dedicated Trezors locked in fireproof safes for security as well.

Held .1 for me but deal was canceled he refunded me very quick


Very nice user :)

Sorry didn't see that. That's some intense security. This is why I prefer you over others.

My Skrill account locked so I couldn't complete escrowed transaction.
Dev was quick and polite in his dealings as escrow.
:)

Hi,

Are you available for escrow.

Hello.

I would like to do the business from this topic:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=776373.msg8750793

I already contacted iluvbitcoins, he said he would like to use escrow.

Can we use your services?

Of course! All I need you to do to get it setup is to start a group PM including you, the buyer and I.

Thanks!

Group PM sent :)

Dev please come to below thread.

I want to use your service.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=781194.new#new

Sure, let me know how I can help!

Thanks Dev, he confirmed he received the payment.

Here is my BTC addy.

P.S. Sent you tip, thanks for your help.

.

Sounds great! I can give you a hand, PMed.

Devon provided very professional escrow services for me today. I arranged for his "tip" to be taken from the transaction because I knew it would be worth it, and it was.

Devthedev provided an outstanding escrow service for Volatility coin ICO investors, i would choose him again if needed.  :)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=776463.0

Agreed, best goddamn escrow this side of the interwebs. 10/10 would reccomend.

The VolatilityCoin ICO (VLT) was a success! 48.0366BTC has been released to the developer.

Follow Devscrow on Twitter today! @devscrow (http://www.twitter.com/devscrow)

3rd time dealing with Devscrow and it was as easy as my 1st time. Would recommend!  :)

Recommend to everyone to use this guy as an escrow. He is legit and kindness ! Good luck with escrow service buddy !

great,and awesome

Hi,

I pm'd you please check.

Thanks for your Escrow service Quick & reliable !!

Hey everyone!

Starting tomorrow morning I'll only be providing escrow services for ICO's and standard trades >= 2BTC
*Users I've provided escrow for in the past can use Devscrow for trades of any value.

Any users needing an escrow provider for trades valued at less than 2BTC will be asked to contact monbux (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=631008.0).

I appreciate your continued support and I look forward to providing escrow for your ICO in the future!

Thanks

I guess you've become too high-caliber for us peasants dealing in mBTC
It's been awesome watching your reputation as an escrow grow over the years months mere twelve weeks.
This escrow service has been a booming success so far, hope to see it reach new heights :)

P.S. I've not really done any trades >10$ worth using an escrow for in the last few months. Will you still escrow for me if I need it ?

Looking forward to seeing this service branded on every new altcoin :D
Jambola2

Yes, you're a friend and I've transacted with you in the past. Thanks for the support!

Just a vouch from 'ol BiPolarBob...

I've done a few transactions with devthedev on this forum and Freenode IRC.  Not only is he trustworthy and professional, but he's a darn nice guy.  The last transaction was for a $500 item and it went perfectly.  I wish everyone was as great to deal with.

Great job devthedev, keep it up! :)

BPB.

hey :D dev long time customer here haha i am making a transaction with crowetic for 4 antminer s1 blades @ 65$/BTC please PM me and him with an address to send his escrow BTC to so i can send the package thank you for your time :D tip incoming as well so send me an address where i can tip you  ;D ;D ;D

What is "Biometric Secured"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics

In simple definition, basically multiple people each have a bit control over the funds, " Biometrics authentication (or realistic authentication) is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control."

From the Wikipedia article you quoted:

"Biometric identifiers are the distinctive, measurable characteristics used to label and describe individuals. Biometric identifiers are often categorized as physiological versus behavioral characteristics. Physiological characteristics are related to the shape of the body. Examples include, but are not limited to fingerprint, palm veins, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina and odour/scent. Behavioral characteristics are related to the pattern of behavior of a person, including but not limited to typing rhythm, gait, and voice."

According to the above, an example of biometric security would be using a fingerprint instead of a password as a form of security.

From the description you quoted, I don't see any mention of devthedev's physiological or behavioral characteristics being used to secure client funds.

"Biometric secured" is not the right term to describe his escrow service.

oops, I guess I read it wrong then.  devthedev states that he does have a finger print scanner.


I kinda want to actually see this fingerprint scanner though :D

What do you think would be a better term to describe it based on the current storage methods?

At the moment I mainly use a Trezor and lock it in a safe for most standard transactions and all ICO transactions.
For standard trades, if I'm out and about I use Breadwallet. (Secured by Touch ID)

Thanks.

i sell my sr account use devthedev's escrow

very quickly done, he is  trusted

Devthedev handled escrow for a standard transaction for me today, and as always was extremely professional and prompt.

I would (and probably will) use again.

THIS GUY IS GOLDEN!!

• Really great communication
  
• Promptly handles transactions
• Seems to be very trustworthy so far.

Would recommend.

Used devthedev for escrow. Deal went smoothly.

Very nice escrow service. Whole transaction was so simple and easy. You're in good hands with devthedev. Not to worry. He will ensure both buyer and seller are safe.

Escrowed amount: .23 BTC

Sucess  ;)

I used devthedev's escrow service today and the transaction went through smoothly and promptly. I would definitely use his services again.

Devthedev was very efficient and professional when handling a .18 BTC TX today.

Escrowed for me and Gyfts for a $110 AGC. Everything went smoothly and we were done quickly. Thanks!

Very good Escrow, well recommended for good communication and very prompt service

Contact me today if you need an escrow provider for your ICO!

Can you escrow a certain site?

Possibly, PM me further details.

The DarkPeer Coin [DPC] ICO was a success.

https://twitter.com/devscrow/status/519267446218575872

Contact me today if you need an escrow provider!

How much do you charge for a standard trade worth 3.5 BTC?

If I haven't provided escrow for you in the past, it's 2.5%

Wait, so I can still use you right?  What are the fees for me for transactions under 1btc.

Yes, you can. There's no fee because you were grandfathered into the previous rate.

Thanks, I'll definitely use if needed again.

Bam! VoxPopuli ICO funds released, https://twitter.com/devscrow/status/521149494088716289

i bought some IPO/ICO through his service successfully and got profit, but
below is our discussion when the SPS' dev suddenly disappear

Thanks!

Another great escrow service provided by devthedev. Thanks again!

I have used devthedev's escrow service for the first time. I have to say that I was not disappointed at all!

Will use for a repeat in the future!

used dev's escrow service, everything went great would use him again for sure

DevScrow's fees have been reduced for the remainder of 2014.

Standard - 1%
ICO - 2%
Premine Burning - 0.5%

Contact me today if you need an escrow provider for your trade!
I'm looking forward to working with you.

Just used his escrow for a sale. Smooth procedure.

Thanks!

Temporarily shut down my business due to health reasons. Withdrew funds with no issues. I will definitely use devscrow when we reopen. Thanks for a great service.

Thanks for keeping your business on the up and up, it made my job easier. I'm looking forward to working with you when you decide to reopen.

Is this for both traditional escrow as well as ICO's or just ICO's?

The service has been completely shut down, thanks for the inquiry.

BTC Community just took a major lose! However, I understand why the move to shutdown! Anyhow, you were providing an amazing service :)

What!?  :(

That's within 7hrs 42mins 36secs. Wow. Sad that you have shut down the service. you were brilliant as escrowing :(

That's a loss to the community.
I used DevScrow more then a few times.

Thanks for your service.
Just a question, will you ever be back?

Dammit, I really trusted Devin, this sucks. Anyway, I hope we see you more!

Would be nice to know the "grey area".

I'll be contacting FinCEN today to hear their thoughts. I'll keep you guys updated.

Awesome, thanks!

A grey area within whether you need some sort of licence to be an escrow agent? You probably do in some countries or states.

After contacting FinCEN I've decided to relaunch Devscrow. I was concerned due to previous statements from the agency but today I was pointed to this (http://www.fincen.gov/news_room/rp/rulings/pdf/FIN-2014-R007.pdf) amendment. Which essentially says Bitcoin escrow services are permitted to operate without being regulated under money-transmission laws.

Anyhow, Devscrow is back open for business. I will only be providing escrow services for standard trades in the future and best of all, it's free. (Tips are greatly appreciated however)

I'm happy that I have the opportunity to continue providing this service for the community.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

I'm online and prepared to provide escrow for you! Send me a PM if you'd like my assistance.

Dev you just did a full 360/180 Slim Shady/ Bounce back into business! Congratz :O

Such service, very trust, many wows!

Contact me today if you need help facilitating a transaction.
Free escrow!

Dev was very professional while handing a .11 deal. As always everything went smooth

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=854072.0
The above thread is claiming to be using your escrow for their signature campaign. Is this true, and if so how much have they escrowed?

Yes, I'm under the control of 0.21. I'll be posting the agreement in an hour or so when I have access to my PGP key.

I need escrow service, I have never used before.
What should I do first ? Thanks in advance.

Sure, start a group message including the other party. I've sent you a message with further details.

Thanks devthedev you can watch progress here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=573232.14200

Cheers

The first week of the Cloudminr Campaign was a success!



Contact me today if you need an escrow provider! Send me a message or email me at devin@devin.tv

Very sorry devthedev, our dev decided to not to use an escrow. To be honest very shady to me.

Hey everyone, I will be out of town from November 21st through the 29th. If you need an escrow provider during that period please contact monbux (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=133846) or Tomatocage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=37522).

Thanks!

He is doing great job paying weekly for signature campaign. He is responding fast and payment is always on time.

I'll see everyone the 30th. Have a great week!

Hey everyone! I'm back from vacation and ready to provide escrow services for you. Contact me today if you'd like assistance with securing your transaction.

Week 3 payments for the CloudMinr.io Signature Campaign have been released.


Contact me if you need an escrow provider, Devscrow's free and there's no transaction value minimum!
I'm looking forward to working with you.

Welcome back Dev! Hope you had a safe and relaxing trip!  :)

It was a much needed and refreshing trip, thanks!

Hey everyone! Whether you're buying a new phone for your daughter or selling your wife's camera, protect yourself this holiday season with Devscrow.

This is very true. Especially with the irreversible nature of bitcoin and the fact that both the holidays and bitcoin tends to bring out scammers.

Dev is very professional (and just escrowed another deal for me) and is able to protect you from scams as escrow. 

I appreciate the feedback, I'm looking forward to working with you in the future!

CloudMinr.io Week 4 Signature Campaign payments have been sent out.


No transaction is too small, contact me today if you'd like to secure your trade.

Hello sir,
Making deal with this guy.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=886341.0
He said sent you PM.
Can you hold his BTC ?

Sure! A group message has been started.

Thanks devthedev, received 0.09BTC
Best escrow service

Worked out fine.

Thanks for the feedback!
The OP has been updated. (:

Might need you're services soon ;)

my first use of an escrow service and it went off smoothly with least amount of friction. thanks

yay, you re-launched your full service! :)

Good luck man, wish you the best.

Helped me and shahadil complete a trade. Thanks sir.
Superb escrow!

Okay, feel free to send me a message whenever you'd like.


I'm happy that I could make your first escrow-secured transaction progress smoothly.


I appreciate the support!


Thanks for the kind words.

I'm currently providing escrow for the Kialara European group buy. Live in Europe? You can grab one with reduced shipping costs here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=889771.msg9810624#msg9810624)

Great Escrow service ! Quick and responsive.

The Kialara group buy was a success! 15 of these beautiful coins will sent out to 12 Bitcointalk users next week.

If you need a well trusted escrow then devthedev is your man.

Quick and very professional!

just used Dev again for a .46 transaction, everything went smooth as usual

Thanks!

Smooth transaction.

Made a successful transaction using his escrow service. I would definitely recommend using his service.

I had sent you a PM requesting an escrow address for my buyer to send to (the buyer actually sent the first PM and I replied to all confirming the details), you might have missed it.

Can you please reply and provide an escrow address for my buyer to send funds to? Thanks.

EDIT: I was able to get an escrow address from dev and everything went smooth as usual. There is a good reason why I have used him several times

devthedev handled our signature campaign professionally. He ensured that necessary amount of coins is always available in the escrow address and made the payments in time. Top notch communication.

We've paid out 2.7895 BTC through devscrow and would easily trust him with larger amounts in the future.

Thank you!

It was a pleasure working with you.


Thanks for the feedback.

devthedev hold 6BTC in escrow for the group buy I was organizing. Everything went smoothly. Thanks dude!

Happy New Years everyone!


You're welcome.

I hope everyone had a great first day of 2015!
Good news, Devscrow will remain free throughout the year and will continue to provide the most secure escrow service on the forum.

Stay tuned for some HUGE announcements to come.

DevScrow is still open for business and is now operated by a hero member.

I have used devthedev escrow service his service is excellent

Waiting for ur reply to exchange my btc to cash with user = legendster.

Want to use ur escrow service .

Oh congrats on that Hero status! I have used dev for escrow and his service is top notch.

i already used devthedev as escrow and Everything went smoothly

Great escrow Everything went smoothly.

This user recommended for escrow

Thank guys!



It was a pleasure working with both of you.

Waiting for you to come online and send me the btc held in your escrow wallet.

Its been 8 hours since I messaged you.


Let me know when you do come online & complete the transaction.

Getting ridiculously late for a micro transaction (16 hours now), the price volatility is eating away my profit from the transaction while you are offline with my btc in your wallet.

Cant complain about a free service and I cant hold the buyer responsible for my loss or his choice of escrow either, but who is accountable for the loss I am incurring now ?  >:(

A few dollars doesnt matter in amount but it matters in principle. Just get online and complete the transaction.

Thanks

legendster, devthedev has a life. Everyone that does escrow has a life. You cannot expect them to be around 24/7. I know it sucks, but you will have to wait patiently and keep this in mind next time you use escrow. This will happen again.

Understand this that I am not lashing out because he is late. I am kinda lashing out because he went offline with an active trade online.

Off course I understand this 'happens' I m not new here.

devthedev has been online at 12:45 am and just a few seconds ago.

I have resent my message to you and I am reposting the appeal here for you to release my mere 0.08 btc.

It has been 17 hours so far since I first sent you the message asking you to release the funds with proof of payment to the Fiat buyer (btc seller).


I am asking for the btc to be sent here :
12MF2xyCCjVPSWiSYgyyTq89vUPiH82qd9

The BTC is held in escrow here :
1Kodd6KPHaev9JLG6wwUw5fsNM2vYGPw6

Thank you.

I received confirmation of receipt from the other party at 04:57:06. (5 hours ago) My response time is usually under 15 minutes. However, I had an unforeseen family matter I had to take care of.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I will not be an inconsiderate ass and give you a negative for this, but I should expect a positive feedback from you on my trust score.

Whatever be the reason you made me loose 3.62% of FIAT value of the BTC you were holding. I sent you payment confirmation from my end with bank transfer screenshots 18 hours prior to your escrow release.

The other party had already confirmed that he received the money within 5 minutes of the Bank transfer (it was done through instant transfer), he sent me a message confirming that he had asked you to release the payment at  January 10, 2015, 10:59:14 AM.

Regardless, since this was a free service I dont have much to complain about, I must give you a friendly advice however, dont go offline ever again, with an active trade in the pipeline. Thats not professional whatever be the reason.
Although it seems to me you were busy flying your Parrot Bebop Drone. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=920235.msg10109829#msg10109829)

Good luck with your service.
I might use your service again.

I know you might not be related to this, but hey, this guy only has 1 positive trust score and its from you and he has sent FOUR trust feedbacks, one of them being a marvelous POSITIVE review of your character. One sympathetic POSITIVE for a  bonafide SCAMMER, one negative for another bonafide scammer because that scammer paid late for a signature campaign and a trollish NEGATIVE for me that just says 'Inconsiderate ass' and refers to this post.

Makes me wonder.... if this is your alternate account for running sig campaigns ... and a whole load of other things that really encourages me to run a smear campaign against your escrow service. I wont do it cuz his feedback really doesnt hurt me but I m just telling you that I could.


http://i57.tinypic.com/o08h03.jpg

AHAHA Oh wow.
No im just a Friend of devs that used to do security and pen-testing on his old projects.
If you want proof ask the admins for IP records because im from the UK and Dev is from Florida.
Also, you say the rep does not matter bout you are bitching about it so kinda contradictory.

Ah good to know, so which drink made you drunk enough to leave a negative on my profile ?

Currently tea.
Probably later will be single malt, want me to talk to you when I'm drunk enough?
Anyway, now its cleared up you may as well remove the slander about me being an alt, the other one can stay.

Well I would like a sample of that intoxicating tea you're having, oh & you dont wanna meet me when you're drunk  ;D I m known to break jaws.

Jokes aside, do you have a good reason for leaving that negative trust ?

Yeah, you are being a inconsiderate dick.
Dev said that he was attending to a family member for all you know they could be terminally ill.
Treat others how you wish to be treated; or did your mother not teach you any manners?

Did you suddenly take on the role of being a moral police ?

FOR ALL I KNOW, Dev was busy flying his $500 quad and posting a youtube video about it. For which I have provided links of.

And I didnt leave that negative trust.

As far as my mother is concerned she taught me well enough not to poke my nose in someone else's business, dev is not a damsel in distress that he requires the Knight in shining tin (you) to come and defend him.

He was offline, HE WAS LATE, I said it was unprofessional and DIDNT leave him a negative rating and moved on, but from where on earth did you drop in ?

Legendster why don't you go outside and play with your neighbour's cat? Go on. No one cares for your whining.

Off course not, remind me why are you here ?

No he does not NEED it, i just felt like you were being a undue asshole.
Are you telling me you have never been late in your life, Rent/mortgage/Whatever kind of debt
Im bored of you now, your arguments are not pathetic enough to be entertaining, but TBH, you seem quite insolent and already have enough neg rep on you in the first place that my non-default trust list -1 wont matter to you will it? especially seeing as you said you don't care about it.
If you want to keep arguing with me then take it to PM so we dont fill up a perfectly good thread with our bickering.

Please read my post again.

Being late for parties, classes and lectures is my MO. But I tend to be professional when I am handling someone else's money.


Well the only credible negative on my profile is from Johnie, and that too because of his theories, another issue another topic.
I was curious to find out why you even bothered.

As it seems the only motivation for your negative on my profile was because I was being an ass to your friend ... while incurring a 3% value drop of my coins that he was holding in HIS wallet for 18 hours.... if you ask me I had a perfect reason to be pissed off, but was I really being an ass to him ? I leave that for others to judge.

Your non default negative does not show up on my rating - YES. But it is there for utterly no reason and that bothers me. Remove that and all of this goes away :)

Enjoy your tea.

You should not expect to receive a positive trade feedback from any particular trade, especially if things did not 100% smoothly.

If your deal was priced in terms of bitcoin then you should not be complaining about the fiat value of whatever you received.

Some trades can take several days to complete, especially ones involving physical goods. Trades involving the purchase of bitcoin can take several hours and the point of using his services is to not need to worry about not getting your money right away.

---

---

I can vouch that I have used dev on many occasions without any problems on his end. I have not had any transactions with him that have not gone smoothly.

Read my question again, if you dont care about my 'whining' why bother responding here ?

Just letting you know. You are making a big deal out of pretty much nothing.

Lets take a step back and understand what you're all saying here.
Its ok for dev - a trusted escrow holder to go offline for 18 hours with an active trade in the pipeline.

Its ok for dev's friend to leave a negative rating on my profile for laughs and giggles.

Its not ok for me to make 3 posts in 18 hours on his escrow board asking why he's late.

Its NOT ok for me to be upset about the 3% loss in value of BTC which dev had in his wallet for 18 hours after I have paid for them.

---

---

I do not need to explain the nature of the Buy low sell high principle in bitcoin trade, I know you guys are well versed in that context.

However, Dev is never concerned with the nature of my transaction, his role in the transaction was simply to provide safe keeping of the BTC while I and the seller made our trade. Dev fulfilled his role without question, albeit 18 hours late.

I did expect a positive rating from him, I did not DEMAND it, and it was not because of the trade we were involved in; but this was because of the fact that he made me loose the relative value of my BTC in terms of fiat by not being online for a significant amount of time. He didnt leave a rating for me and neither did I.

And the thing about physical goods isnt relevant here.

I am not, I was gone from this thread merrily busy with my own stuff that was until Eli showed up. Someone leaves a neg on my profile, that is a big enough deal for me to make a li'l fuss about it. I am sure you'd be pissed if I posted a neg on your profile for no reason at all.

Then open a new thread in reputation.

Yes like I said it is not uncommon for some deals to take hours to complete.
I don't know that person, however he is not dev and does not speak for him. The issue with the negative rating does not speak for dev.
Making more then one post or sending more then one PM is probably not going to expedite the process.
If you were expecting to receive a specific amount of bitcoin then no. If you were planning on selling that bitcoin on an exchange then you would have just used fiat to buy bitcoin which you would have sold for fiat which makes no sense (yes I know if this was the case you were probably trying to arbitrage however this is in itself risky). Unless he made a specific promise to release the escrow within a certain timeframe then you have nothing to complain about.
If that was his role then you have nothing to complain about
I said you should not even expect it as you will probably not get feedback in every trade you participate in.
You are really just repeating yourself now

A section of this forum that is generally overlooked, I m just curious, if you think no one cares about my 'whining' why are you asking me to move my accusations away from this thread ?

Simply, let no one care about this :)

Because it's off-topic, since it has nothing to do with this thread. In case you do not know, posting off-topic message are not allowed, which is why you have been asked to take it somewhere else (for example the reputation sub forum or meta if you think his ratings are unfair).

Wow a lot of free time in your hand to quote and unquote so neatly.

If you are late in delivering a service that you are promoting yourself for, then it is a bad customer service.

And please ask dev how many PMs I sent him and when I sent them.

I sent him 2 PMs, one when I completed the payment to the buyer and one when he came online and went offline without any response.
Same with the posts.

Dont try to twist the logic here, I bought the BTC at a low price from someone, and I sold it for a marginal profit somewhere, every one knows how this works. But what I do with the BTC is irrelevant here. The price dropped while the btc was in his wallet simple as that. I received my BTC and I moved on.

I didnt go asking eli to leave a negative on my profile, but he did, I had to get answers, which I did get.

So now please tell me what is your point here ? Dev is not eli ? Well I cant know that for sure, and the points for my suspicions are mentioned above but there is a high probability that I am wrong, something I even admitted up there but if I am getting a stain on my rep because of his friend, let me make sure that he and his friend get stained because of me.

I had and still have no intentions of coming back to this thread, I am here to defend myself which I will continue doing as long as someone keeps mentioning me. Stop that and I go away. Eli removes his baseless rating, my baseless slander goes away.

I have nothing against these guys.

I dont think his ratings are unfair. I dont wish to slander his rep, however I dont wish to be slandered by his friend based on morality. Best way to do that is to post here where the issue originated. Which I did.

I hope everyone had a great day!

Used dev for the escrow, everything went out good. He's a professional and trusted member of the forums!

It was a pleasure working with you!

DevScrow handled a transaction for me without any issues whatsoever. Prompt response (Not to name names, but 4 escrows so far haven't even responded to my PMs :P), prompt service. I would use Devthedev any day of the week.

Thanks for your service devthedev , you are awesome.

Would you be willing to escrow this for me: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=925091.msg10158938#msg10158938

Bump

Use devthedev to escrow my account and everything alright . thank you very much !

Recommended escrow  ;)
Everything when smoothy and everything alright
Thank you

I have used devthedev to escrow my second group buy. Everything went fine, like always. Thanks mate!

Used his service today. Everything went smooth as always. :)

devthedev is not replying, after many minutes. I would use extreme caution with is slow replying times.

You are kidding right? From what I have read Devthedev is based on the east coast of the US and it is night time there. To expect immediate responses is just ludicrous

I am from the east coast of the US also, and it's not even midnight. I can clearly see that he is online.

Your dox actually says that you are from Canada, so nice try ;)

His lack of response is not something that would cause others to want to be reasonably afraid of getting scammed. It is more likely that he is unwilling to do business with you

I replied to you within 15 minutes.

Ahh, he just replied now. I thought you were ignoring me or something

Scratch what I said.

really a great escrow service
he helped me and prevent me from be scammed by a lier
also refunded me my money that i put in escrow with him

his service is great,i recommand him as escrow service

Contact me today if you need an escrow provider!


Thank you

We've used this service to escrow 1 BTC. Everything went smooth. Reference here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=948054.0

Already used this service for my loan and all went smoothly thanks

Just want to say thank you for handling escrow between me and IronMarvel. Transaction went smoothly and without an issue. I can honestly recommend devthedev for escrow deals. Thanks again.

Escrow service was great! We were keep updated. Thanks!

Sorry! I'm not sure how I overlooked this. It wouldn't cost anything, but tips are appreciated.





It was a pleasure working with each of you!

Hi, I just spoke with nodis.. Did he confirm with you?

I have not yet received confirmation.

I had devthedev do escrow for a steam game a couple of days back. Everything was smooth and flawless as usual

Dev, Did nosdi tell you what happend? I am waiting for release

DEV, Please read your messages from Nosdi. I am still waiting for release.

Re: Ready?
« Sent to: devthedev, Bitcoiner11 on: Today at 09:33:10 AM »
Hello Dev, I am ready to proceed with nosdi
dev ignore my last message and release the funds to bitcoiner11
Thanks and sorry for the mess

Released.

Hello, could I get the feedback you've promised after our transaction was done? I did the same. Thank you

Dev just helped escrow a 0.71BTC transaction between me and a buyer. Devscrow never disappoints! :)

Bump.

Didn't realise you had an escrow thread. Sent you a PM ;)

Professional escrow service! Thanks :)

And another transaction closed successfully with devthedev as escrow.

Always a pleasure working with you!

I need to have a deal escrowed between me and wakka662.
 
Amount needed to be escrowed: $38 worth.

Wakka please confirm.

Can you start a group message please?

Thank you

I apologize for the recent delays, I had important family matters I had to tend to. If I haven't responded to your escrow request please resend the message.

Devscrow will now be closed on Sunday's

Thanks for the understanding

I need an escrow for a Gyft eBay code and 0.4, with Towdriver91. He will confirm it.

Sure, not a problem. Can you start a group message please?

Confirmed.

I will be out of town tomorrow, Devscrow will be closed during that period.

I'll see you on Tuesday!

welcome back

escrow please?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1001342.0

Ah what a pitty, I had sent out a request for escrow from before. :P

Newbie question. If I want to buy .5 bitcoin, and I want to pay with PayPal, I can escrow that? My PayPal account is verified, over 10 years old, but I know how people here hate PayPal. So I could send the money to you, you could hold it for xx days to be sure I don`t  do a chargeback, and then it would be forwarded to whoever I buy the .5 btc from? And they would send you the .5btc, so I know I`ll get it, right?

The escrow would need to hold bitcoin for this to potentially work and it would need to be held for in excess of 6 months, which is really not realistic. You would be better off withdrawing your PP funds to your bank account and then using cash to purchase bitcoin

Hey everyone, Devscrow is now back up and running!


Of course! I've sent out the agreement.


Sorry for the delay, you should have a message from me.


That's correct, thanks Quickseller. It wouldn't be feasible to provide escrow for PayPal transactions, nor would both parties be protected unless the funds were held for an extended period of time.

Thanks for helping out devthedev!  :)

Hey Dev, since you're holding some money for an escrow I asked you to do...

Can we set a date and if the other party doesn't give us any signs of life until then we can cancel it and receive my money back? You can keep the tip.

Sure, that's not a problem. Does 48 hours sound fair?

sure I'll PM you with an address to have it ready just in case

Happy Resurrection Day!

Provided Escrow, quick response and timely release of funds. +1 would use escrow again.

Smooth transaction once again! :)

For the remainder of this week only, if you request Devscrow to provide escrow for your signature campaign, you can lock in a 1.5% fee for the life of the campaign.

I'm looking forward to working with you!

Looking to escrow for a food challenge bounty I'm offering:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1016939.0

Sure, can you please provide the full terms of the transaction, including under which circumstances the funds should be released?
Thank you

Hi devthedev, any update on this food challenge escrow with FutureMoneyTrends? I'm already through the first part of the challenge and just wondering if it's going to happen.

Regards,
fdyl

I've forwarded the user an address as well as the terms of the transaction, I'll post within the thread upon receipt of the funds.
Thanks for the inquiry and good luck!

I've sent initial $40 as agreed with fdylstyx when I let him know yesterday.

I've used devscrow and devthedev made the transactions fairly easy. Good luck in the future and thanks for your help.

funds can be released to fdylstyx, thanks

Funds received from escrow. Excellent experience...would use this service again. Tip and trust bump given.

fdyl

Transaction smooth and quick from devscrow

Vouch for devthedev !
Used him for escrow on a $400 trade.

I used devthedev a few weeks back for holding an account of a person that I lent Bitcoin too, everything went through without any issues. Will be using the service again when required. I believe I have already left the appropriate feedback.

I sent a small tip to devthedev as a thank you.

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback within the past few days, contact me today if you'd like assistance in securing your trade.
 

Happy Saturday!

Hey everyone, after almost 2 years of service to the community I will be closing Devscrow.
It was a pleasure working with everyone in the past, and I hope to see everyone around the forum.

You guys are all awesome, keep pushing for further adoption!

Great to see a popular escrow agent close down instead of pulling a runner.  Very respectable.  Thank you for your service to the community.  Good luck with your future endeavors!

True, I feel he might be closing the escrow service as he wasn't getting enough customers. Just a guess. If thats the case, advertising the service in his signature and posting actively would've helped.

I have years of escrow experience throughout the forum, including management of multiple signature campaigns and crowdfunding events.

Send me a message if you would like assistance securing your transaction!

Devscrow in the press in 2014: http://bitcoinist.com/crypto-community-service-dev-escrow/

I'd like to start an escrow for a sale transaction.
Here is a detail

Buyer - deadly
Seller - hakunaking

Goods - $960 Neteller USD

Is this a joke or what? If you just took a second to look at devthedev's profile, you would have seen that his last activity here dates from last month.

If you're serious about escrow, look for Lauda, Blazed, or OgNasty.

Wtf is this, when I told you to trade.

i havent made a transactions yet, skype 'miss.msyty' he is saying he is you and he showed me the bitcoin address info and stuff.
If its not you he is scammer then, i am glad i havent make the transactions. Thx.
And also 'jame.rd' he pretend he is devthedev.

devthedev hasn't been around for ages. Do not trust anyone on Skype unless they can provide a valid signed message from the address specified in devthedev's profile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=136592) (UID 136592). Be sure to share it with us so we can verify it as well, before you do anything and be on the lookout for fake URL's and people impersonating devthedev by slightly changing the username (example: devthedev`).

Scammers are everywhere, especially on Telegram and Skype.

I don't trade in skype with new user, only regular user with only 1 wallet id. And clear instruction that if ever I change wallet just message me here to confirm is it me or someone hacked my skype.

If I never gave you my skype or you did not talked yesterday with me in forum so how someone can pretend it's me in skype.
Someone just ping you in skype that's it's me and devthedev and you just believed them. How riduculous it is.
