i am so in urgent need of a trusted escrow for a customer who wants to buy my forum ( website ) he asked to use escrow for payment , payment via btc.
i am very worried how i can trade this without beign cheated. so am willing to release the entire details to the escrow himself to check info to be correct and accurate and himself release it to the customer and give me money. this way customer will not have to lie or cheat as escrow himself personally verify the details to be correct and of value before giving to buyer.
anyone can help me ?
pls contact me. i will pay for this service.
Why can't you contact any of the people mentioned in the OP? The only people that are going to contact YOU are probably scammers trying take your money out from under you. Some more escrowers in this thread; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302.0true. but some of them do not do escrow for Digital goods. and forum is digital goods. this is why i do not know which to contact for this. i so need help please. I think most of them also escrow e-goods, and if they don't, well i guess it doesn't hurt to ask. also anytime i try to send a PM i get this error below
An Error Has Occurred!
The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later. The thing you were trying to post was saved as a draft. This limit decreases substantially as your account becomes more established.
That's to prevent abuse since you're a newbie account.. I know, it kind of sucks, but i'm pretty sure you can circumvent it by buying a copper membership. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2385104.msg24371150#msg24371150(If you're only here for a one-time escrow i don't recommend you buy it though! it doesn't have that many features besides reducing the PM limit from 360 to 90 seconds.) I think sebastian escrows digital goods? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102721 |

Oh, what option should I look for as far as getting $ back from a localbitcoins deal? Cashier's check is risky, Paypal can be reversed. Is there some way to wire through a trusted proxy so the guy on the other end doesn't actually get my bank numbers?
Not that i know of. If you want that sort of privacy, you should look into an exchange, not P2P. I suppose Moneygram or Western Union might be options. Take note: Some other services that are not totally safe:
- Bank transfers (ACH, etc.) except wire transfers
- Most gift cards.
- Moneypak
- AlertPay
- Paysafecards
- Dwolla
- Western Union (they reportedly will sue the recipient to recover money in some cases)
So localbitcoins automatically handles the escrow? Yes, but the problem isn't the escrow, it's what happens after it, and whether or not the seller tries to revert his payment. Can't you use https://cex.io or https://www.bitstamp.net ? I don't know if they are licensed in your state either, but it might be worth a try. |

They do not respond neither email, redit nor jabber. 2 days now.
Their last reddit post was over a year ago, and they haven't been online on the forum for the last month or so. (Which is kind of odd indeed.)
Better to post it up publicly so that we would able to know on whats the current issue you are facing on.
Have you sent out support ticket?
Same problem website shows Your mixer transaction status: Waiting for deposits Information: Check again after depositing Its been more than 48 hours since support ticket sent out, no reply there jabber also unreachable i have the same Problem ..... i hope come fast solution .....
If you're serious, please open a scam accusation here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 with the right format and all your transaction information. That way, they can be tagged and either other users will be warned, or bitcloak will resolve the situation. edit: see reply below. |

I would like to give bitcoins as a physical gift for people who knows nothing about it. I tried to create paper wallet, but it is easy destructible. I found Casascious, it looks honest, but it is not sold anymore. Ebay is selling mostly fakes. I like https://denarium.com/, but I am little bit afraid about security of private keys. What is the way you are using? I wouldn't give bitcoin to people who know nothing about it, and especially not physicial. But perhaps a cascasio coin could be nice indeed. I don't know anything about https://denarium.com/, but if you do end up using them, always use multisig in case they go bust. (Although, if you're going to gift the coin, this might become a hassle, especially if the user you're gifting it to doesn't know anything about bitcoin.  ) |

Lol
Ridiculous website. Thanks for sharing this screenshot, you saved my time. I was going to visit it and take a look if there is any useful information... but calling ethereum a dead coin shows how much research they made: zero
Maybe they search coin name with the key word 'died'. For example, I searched with key words: Bitcoin + died. Then, results show: https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-died-91-times-2018/I guess that is probably one of the search algorithm applied for their site. Obviously, that leads to false results.  Nah. I think anyone can add any coins on that site as "dead" or "fraudulent". Knowing the internet and it's trolls, this is the result you'll get. I mean... Even bitcoin is listed as a scam:  |

Poloniex declaring bankruptcy.
What's wrong with that? It would still be better than keeping the business running as usual as it is. At last, the world would be sure this won't happen again. There is nothing wrong with this per se, but I would repeat that I do not believe this is a winning case. I would also repeat that I believe the right thing to do is Poloniex to cover the losses, I do not believe they are legally required to do so. If you did bankrupt Poloniex, I believe you would spend a lot of money out of your own pocket doing so, and any money you do recover would probably not cover any legal expenses you incur. That depends on how Poloniex is set up. If the money of customers' is in custodial accounts, (which i think might be required by law?) then in the case of a bankruptcy, those funds won't/can't be collected, and will be returned to the account holders. I am curious to know why you believe "haircutting balances with a generalized loss" is illegal in the US. I think this is exactly what happens to depositholders at banks whose deposits exceed FDIC insurance limits when they fail.
Hmm. It was only socialized between other margin traders right? Still, scum behaviour. |

Bitmain says "sold out" But on Alibaba they say its in stock. Is it real? Has anyone every ordered from alibaba?
Probably not. Anyone can open a listing on Alibaba AFAIK, for anything they want. I wouldn't buy from there. Imo; it's just going to be a hassle, perhaps you get a product, but it might not be new, or working as intended, and then what? It's not like you're going to be able to send it back. plus the fact that if they're actually real, they wouldn't be selling them on Alibabi without a huge mark up rate. Thus it'd probably be smarter to wait for official resellers/bitmain to release a new batch, both risk-wise and money-wise. I mean looking at the feedback, https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Trade-assurance-40-7ksol-s-1150W_60787014391.html this one could be real, but is it really worth the risk? What if there's something wrong with it? I doubt there's any warranty at all on this machine. |

But is the risk worth it? I only heard about Nexo recently but they seem pretty legit to me.
Everything's legit until it's not. Do they have any sort of banking licence or deposit insurance? What guarantees are there their terms will remain the same? This is a pretty much unknown institution offering an interest rate no established place can match. That says something. They can offer such interest because they also charge high interest on loans. Bear with me, I'm talking about fiat deposits. So when you deposit fiat, they use this money to give loans. And they give loans to people who lock their crypto with them. So my fiat deposit is backed by "overcollateralized loans" meaning they lock more crypto value than they loan. They also say The collateral of each loan is subject to custodial insurance of $100 million provided by the world’s leading audited custodian BitGo and the insurance leader Lloyd’s of London. All funds that you put up with Nexo go towards the financing of new overcollateralized loans with insured collateral. In simple terms - for every $1 we lend, we receive at least $2 in insured collateral, making your investments virtually risk-free. That is if there actually was 1:1 loan for each dollar invested -- which we don't know. (I think?) We have no idea how much they're currently lending, and how much capital they currently have generating interest. If they have way more capital than outstanding loans, they'll either need to stop investments, or run with our money as it's unsustainable. (As i don't understand who would want to open a overcollateralized loan with them in the first place, but apparently this is a big market?) ... This could be a great scheme for a ponzi (I'm not saying it is a ponzi, but bear with me). Look at this table ( source):  Now suppose you accept Bitoin, and pay out 8% per year interest on the dollar value it had when deposited. No matter when someone deposited a certain amount of Bitcoin, a couple years later you're in huge profit, despite paying out 8% per year! Even without the risks, as a Bitcoin owner it's a terrible deal to exchange just holding Bitcoin for 8% interest. Like all the cloud mining schemes, yes. But as i've posted previously, you also have these sites which pay in BTChttps://app.blockfi.com/signuphttps://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/ay23r0/blockfi_interest_accounts_to_good_to_be_true/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2xThe BlockFi Interest Account (BIA) lets you put your crypto to work and earn monthly interest payments in the asset-type that you deposit with BlockFi.
BlockFi clients using the BIA earn compound interest in crypto, significantly increasing their Bitcoin, Ether, and Gemini Dollar (GUSD) balances over time.
Unless the interest rate (which currently is 6.2%) goes down when they're overcapitalized in comparison to outstanding loans of course. (Which i can only assume is what they'll do, which will probably result to a race to the bottom the second these sites get popular.) |

Both transactions were sent to wallets on onion sites. Two different sites. I thought that MAYBE I got phished on the first transaction (the site is confirmed not a phishing site by the way -- partially why I'm still confused) and so I decided to try it again on a different site and still, the BTC never arrived. Both site URLs are confirmed as legitimate and not phishing links.
Perhaps the sites were legit, but your computer might not be? You sure you copied the right adresses from the site onto your wallet? The only thing i can think of here is that you became the victim of a clipboard malware. - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/clipboard-hijacker-malware-monitors-23-million-bitcoin-addresses/If it's not the site, it has to be something on your side...? |

Please post the forum link to that user. The website he linked is a scam and saves your private key/seed The official site is https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ . And even there, it's only recommended to enter a seed phrase on an offline computer that will never go online again. I can't confirm if bip39toolDOTorg is a scam or not, but if it is, I'd like to confirm and tag the account. In general: when someone sends a link or instructions by PM instead of posting it in public, it's best not to trust it. That would be djhomeschool. You can try yourself; go to https://bip39tool.org/? -> Inspect element -> Networking and then generate a wallet. You'll see it generates a POST with your seed words. whereas if you generate one at https://iancoleman.io/bip39/? obviously no POST request is send to the server. Now if djhomeschool actually sent the PM... Idk. I don't have any BTC in the wallet where the BSV was sent. I just want to get the BSV out of that BTC address and into a BSV wallet. I have received multiple suggestions as to where send the BTC private key to set up the new wallet so far. The first was ElectrumSV, then someone suggested Blockchain.com (but I'm not sure that person understood that I had sent BSV to a BTC address), and now you are telling me to use Coinomi. I have decided to use the ElectrumSV wallet because that was the initial suggestion, unless someone can explain why I should do otherwise. I just need to know the process for entering the BTC private key so that I can get the funds into the ElectrumSV wallet. I will be transferring the BSV out of the ElectrumSV wallet immediately if I am fortunate enough to gain access to my funds again.
I don't think the process is much different than that of importing a private key into a bitcoin electrum wallet? |

Another Bitcoin Forum user direct messaged me and suggested that I follow these steps.... 1. Open the page https://bip39tool.org2. Where it says "BIP39 Mnemonic" paste in your 12 word mnemonic seed from Atomic 3. Leave your coin setting to BTC on that page 4. In the field "BIP32 Root Key" it will show you a root key, copy that to a txt file (do NOT give this to anybody) I don't understand why this may be necessary but I would appreciate others' thoughts on the matter. Please post the forum link to that user. The website he linked is a scam and saves your private key/seed don't paste ANYTHING on that site. I should be able to create an ElectrumSV Wallet now, but I'm still not sure how to export the BTC private key into the BSV wallet. Do I do this prior to making the default wallet (i.e. manually enter Bitcoin address or private key) or do I enter the BTC private key at some point after I create a standard wallet?
I don't think it matters. You can just import it prior to making a wallet. ( i think?) |

I think that one should work too, yeah. I'm not sure why it won't download for you. Maybe try another wallet like https://www.exodus.io/ |

I sent BSV to a BTC address by mistake. I have learned that I may be able to recover the funds by exporting or sweeping (not sure which one) the BTC private key to a BSV address. Since, I was only transferring the funds from one account to another, I have the BTC private key. It has been suggested to me that I send the BTC key to an ElectrumSV Wallet. I'm not a computer expert and don't know exactly how to do this. Actually, I'm having trouble just downloading the ElectrumSV wallet for windows. I keep getting a failed download message stating that a virus is detected. I have tried to turn off my anti-virus software and changed some internet security settings but have still not been able to download the wallet. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Where are you trying to download the ElectrumSV wallet from? You sure it's the right source? Anyway, once you have it downloaded, it should really not be that hard - you simply import the private key from your BTC wallet into your BSV wallet and it should show your SV balance. https://bitcoinsv.io ? |

If you are buying a hardware wallet and want to save 10-20 bucks just wait for a Black Friday or some other promotion (ledger makes a lot of promotions in their website).
It is not worth trading security for 10-20 bucks, specially in a hardware wallet, that you are buying to feel 99.9999% safe.
Agreed. I myself would never use a second-hand hardware wallet, simply because i don't necessarily know if the firmware hasn't been tampered with, or if the hardware is all original. I don't have the expertise, and even if i would, it still wouldn't be worth the 0.01% chance that i missed something about the device for 20$ off. Not worth it. |

BTW anyone completed address validation process? I am still having issues.
Do they require address validation? AFAIK they only require ID verification. Yes they need it based on their new terms and policies and for me it needs to be completed before Sep to continue using it and I guess it differs from based on your country. I think it's general. Local bitcoins has been tightening its rules on verification perhaps due to pressure from different government. It was very easy to launder month with tier 0 verification. All one had to do was create a dozen accounts and then trade. Wait, so now everyone on LBC has to undergo KYC verification before they can trade? What's even the point in P2P anymore with these rules and regulations. Damn. Too bad all the decentralized alternatives are so bad, and paxful is also catching up on these AML laws.. |

Yes, you can *presumably* attach some sort of malware to the ledger nano S, or preset a wallet/pin, which is why they usually recommend you to factory reset your ledger if you get it second-hand (and make sure the firmware is updated).
If the hardware has been tampered with, well then you're kind of fucked, unless you know how to safely remove it. (Big balls if you were to continue using that ledger s though.)

Interesting that they're guaranteeing a 1-1 dollar redemption for all stablecoins. There've been cases of the issuers themselves refusing to redeem coins.
How can this third party company guarantee it for everyone?
Of course, they can't. I'm looking at the graph of their token (of course they had an ICO)and it's all over the place All-Time High $0.539466 USD (May 07, 2018)
All-Time Low $0.043333 USD (Sep 12, 2018) At least they are still 7% up from the moment of the ICO, but comparing to Bitcoin it's -30% down. Celsius is even worse, down 70% alone vs the USD. Isn't their insurance for when they potentially go bust, and not necessarily guaranteeing the price of their little shitscoin? Anyhow, I never understood those types of lending websites.
So I deposit 100k$ worth of Bitcoin to some foreign business, take a loan of 50k on which I pay interest two times as much as my bank offers because...
Just for the thrill of seeing if I can get back my collateral after I repay the loan or they went "bankrupt" a day before?
Which is why i wonder if this isn't some sort of a giant ponzi scheme, but apparently Nexo ( https://support.nexo.io/hc/en-us/articles/360017628093-Security-and-Insurance) is insured by Bitgo, https://www.bitgo.com/resources/insuranceAnd so i don't expect them to hold funds of what they can confirm is a ponzi scheme. Idk. I don't know where do you live, but I would be happy if banks in my country would pay such interest. In my country banks paying less than 1%. For example my bank paying 0.05% interest what is ridiculous...
Yep. I'm not sure where you're from that banks pay 6.5% interest, but that really takes me back to '08. Can't be real. Interesting. I've never tried any of these lending platforms, but I'm going to check this one. 6.5% a year doesn't sounds bad, but I'm not sure that's worth considering all risks. Now matter how legit these platforms looks, it's hard to trust them with my money in long term. But maybe I'm going to try it with small investment. Does anyone knows how much minimal is needed to start?
Nexo has no minimum amount, and Celsius probably doesn't either. Everybody's welcome !
Apparently BlockFi also lets you earn 6.2% interest (min of 0.5 BTC) https://blockfi.com/crypto-interest-account/They seem to have been in the business a bit longer and allow you to use BTC instead of whatever shitcoin nexo uses? Looks a bit more interesting. |

Interest payments are based on cryptos, there are no interest payments in dollars. And if you choose to receive the interests in CEL (the Celsius token) the percentage is higher. But if I'm correct borrowers can get a loan with USD as collateral too instead coins Interest is deposited every other week No, that's why they explained there is no compounding interest So you can't withdraw your interest, only after how much time? but it does get deposited into your account every week? ... If it doesnt' compound why not just give it every X months, when you can instantly withdraw it and redeposit it to make it compound... ?... I don't get it. this seems flawed. |
