Scam. I ran the java app (no idea what I was thinking) and it hacked my forum account, creating a thread identical to this. Avoid at all costs.

I've got nothing against altcoins as long as they're transparent, open-source, are not controlled by a single entity and actually improve on the cryptocoin idea (reduced confirmation times without losing security etc)

Oh... Ok, I'm against pretty much all altcoins then.

Oh god, yes. All of my internet points to you.

Huh, I guess I missed out a pretty important point there!

As a UK based individual, I will only initially be accepting GBP by bank transfer. I will look into handling OKPay, Dwolla etc so I'm not restricted to the UK, but this is not my goal currently.

I will also escrow altcoins if required. Litecoins I'm already set up to do, for other coins I will install secure clients on linux box if the amount being escrowed is not tiny

Hi,

I'm fairly newish to the forums but between OTC, localbitcoins, the forum and BitBargain I reckon I've proven myself to be a fairly trustworthy trader. However, my trading volume is not massive and I don't currently have the time to scour the markets for new deals to increase my volume.

So, as a way to stay involved with bitcoins and help the community, I was thinking of setting up as a UK escrower. I will be running this service for free and hopefully I will receive tips for my services (longer or riskier escrows may incur a prearranged charge).

I will issue GPG signed contracts and in the case of a dispute I will assess all evidence available to work out whats happened.

I was thinking of doing two kinds of escrow:

1. I take Bob's BTC and Alice's fiat and once I have both, release to appropriate parties (two-tailed)
2. Or, I take either Bob's or Alice's fiat or BTC then when they confirm they have received payment, I release the currency in escrow (one-tailed)

If I was to do this, would anyone actually consider using me? If not, why not?

Also, would people expect me to jump any legal hurdles? I intend to fully register and comply with UK AML/MLR before beginning this service and will conform with EU guidelines (taking details from people involved in high-value transactions)

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

EDIT: As mentioned further down, I will initially only accept UK Bank Transfers for the fiat end. I will look into other methods (Dwolla, OKpay) if there is the demand for it

I will also escrow altcoins. I have full support for LTC already and other coins can be used if I install a client on my secure linux box. I will be prepared to do this so long as the amount being escrowed isn't tiny

Successful small trade with Mogumodz by Paypal, thanks again!

Pretty much fully stocked right now, PM me offers if you're prepared to wait but will not be buying anymore coins immediately, apart from those people who have already PM'd me.

Why thank you looking to buy in a couple of hours, PM me now though!

Check the datestamps on the two messages from him. The first is a couple of weeks old

Thinking about it, I'm certain this is a Java based attack. I shouldn't have allowed the plugin to run, I was stupid

Two posts from mine, was deleted by mods. I assume this hack was only possible because I was already logged in... session hijacking or something like that, I don't know.

I may have been hacked. Attempting to resolve ASAP

[WARNING - POTENTIAL VIRUS/MALWARE

as long as the browser is open it will mine from it!

sweet!
running it now

 

Thanks Mogumodz, took a while (we were both figuring out PGP) but was worth it in the end!

Still looking to buy a few more coins, PM me

Still buying, you know you want to sell

Welcome

0% fee though? Where do you make money?

I'll take one

It shouldn't affect it too much. It isn't really a data9intensive process, it's processor intensive instead. Data throughput isn't a big worry so long as the processor is up to the job

Just updating to say I have now had 3 trades with Sublime, each at the limit I was allowed ($25, then $50, then $100)

Many thanks!

Badabump Need around 10 BTC for now, drop me a PM or post here (PM will get my attention quicker)
