I see the image again. Last time I only saw the member part, not sure why the image wasn't available.
There was a bug (2 months ago) that disabled images to show normally. theymos fixed it but still from time to time, some of the images aren't shown normally.

P.S. If anyone is getting problem viewing that image just refresh the page. If that's not enough please let me know.
Refreshing the page will do the trick.

Add images this way:
Code:
[img alt=RANKING LIST - ESCROW PROVIDERS IMAGE WITH STATS NOT LOADED - RIGHT CLICK, REFRESH]https://linkto.image[/img]
Not sure how long the 'ALT' message can be.
But, I hope this will help you out.
Thank you for the advice!

I really appreciate it!

I just forgot to mention that I'll always post the table's image url every time I update the numbers just like I did here:

Ranking List « since 2013 » Escrow Providers (Image/link): https://i.imgur.com/3QBQsrQ.png « Last updated on February 11th, 2018 »

P.S. It's written right below the table (see OP).

So if you cannot view the image here (maybe something is blocking it) just open that link in a new tab/window.

Maybe I checked the first post in a long time not anymore, where did the table gone? It seems to be an alphabetical list only now.

Ranking List: Escrow Providers (Image/link): https://i.imgur.com/3QBQsrQ.png «Last updated on February 11th, 2018»

I (and I guess others too) can see the table (which is an image file) without any problem right now. Current version url: https://i.imgur.com/3QBQsrQ.png

P.S. If anyone is getting problem viewing that image just refresh the page. If that's not enough please let me know.

I'd like to apply for listing .. I've started my escrow a year ago. but for the reason that I had no enough trade I have been forced to close my escrow service. but now since I've done millions of $$ trades and projects. I think I can resume my escrow service..

here is my thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574265.0

Edit: I've done several escrows too through telegram.
Sorry pal, your trust score is sinking right now.

It's heading way down into negative territory, you should fix that first.

Would be nice to add supported languages and timezone.
Nice list, btw.
Thanks for the suggestion.

How does this brainwallet score compared to others?

Randomness* is far more important while creating your Brainwallet than just manually typing additional symbols from the ASCII symbol set.

Hello WAX team,

Where do I find the math behind the public and pre-sale parameters? i.e. info like average USD per token sold; total tokens sold; market cap; total supply; etc.

Hello Financisto I just want to update my listing here, since I accept ETH to escrow now and decreased my minimum amount to be traded with 1% fees to 0.05 BTC instead of 0.1 BTC before.

Thanks.
Duly noted. Gonna update soon...
93  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [STJ] STORJ Token Sale :: 19th May - 19th June on: December 10, 2017, 03:51:54 AM
Interesting they talk about cloud storage and such. Definitely surpassed SIA coin. Not at market cap though.
It is really huge.

When compare with Sia, Storj's marketcap seem too low.
And now they have plenty of money to deliver good product.
This subsequent move in market cap will follow for sure when some issues are solved:

a) Consolidation of tokens→Poloniex stops trading (the old) SJCX and starts offering STORJ (ERC20) thus ending the messy situation of having 2 different tokens (and prices) for the same project;

b) Transparency→Storj Labs "summarize the status of SJCX migration and the STORJ crowdsale" and reveals all the numbers related to the recent token sale ("How many SJCX have been converted to STORJ? How many STORJ fall into each of the time-lock tranches, and when do these time locks expire? How many STORJ are in circulation? Disclose a policy regarding how many STORJ Storj Labs will introduce per year.")¹;

c) Disclosing Goals→Storj Labs reveals development roadmap and accounting of used (and yet to be used) raised funds (those $30M);

d) Dream team→Storj Labs hires a CEO (someone to be the leader of the team and also responsible for public/stakeholder relations²), CMO (please someone to handle marketing, for God's sake) and full time developers.

[1] I took those quotes from lunokhod2 @ storj.reddit.com
[2] When I say stakeholders I mean shareholders, venture capitalists (e.g. bnktothefuture.com), partners (e.g. exchanges, FileZilla, Heroku) and token holders.

IMHO Storj Labs shoud have solved those issues (a) to (d) before announcing that news. The announcement of FileZilla integration was great but the timing was not. I guess if all those issues were solved before FileZilla's announcement STORJ market cap would be worth tenfold+ by now!

P.S. I think Storj team (what's left of it) is smart. They are able to learn fast from their own past mistakes and will do right next time solving all those issues and making more exciting updates in the right timing...

BTW I'd like to thank MeijeSibbel and helmex for doing what they can to keep everyone outside Storj Labs as updated as possible about project's news.
I'm just updating what I've posted months ago:

[...]

a) Consolidation of tokens→Poloniex stops trading (the old) SJCX and starts offering STORJ (ERC20) thus ending the messy situation of having 2 different tokens (and prices) for the same project; Status: DONE

Status: No CEO and no marketing efforts (referral campaigns, YouTube promo videos, retweet campaigns, discounts paying with STORJ token, etc) announced yet

It seems the team is doing good in the right direction. Maybe isn't it time for Storj Labs to take a little more care of Marketing right now?  Huh

Hi guys. I am very new to this concept. I have a deal coming up with someone wanting to sell me some alt coins he doesnt want in exchange for €150,- worth of ETH.

Now, I don't know the guy, I've never met him and I met him on another forum (from a trading platform).
Ofcourse I am more than willing to pay him the ETH..

But how do I approach this so we can both be sure we get what we payed for from eachother without 1 having to make the first step in 100% good faith? How do I go about escrow? Have absolutely zero experience in this, so I am asking for your help.
Choose some reputed escrow provider from the list and ask him or her how to proceed. I'm sure him or her will guide you accordingly.

P.S. I'm gonna update the list soon...

Hello everyone,

We have just launched getonChain, and WAX token was our first review. We thrive on providing well-balanced technical review, please find it here: https://getonchain.com/article/comprehensive-review-worldwide-asset-exchange-(wax)-platform/, we would love to have your inputs!

Regards,
Ratul
Excellent review, thank you Ratul!

BTW It'd be very interesting if someone from WAX answered those few points that you mentioned in your review:

Quote
It is unclear how the guild selects and monitors a transfer agent, although this is supposedly part of the proposal of the guild.

While poorly rated agents are in risk of removal of their duty, it is unclear how the removal process is executed and by whom, the users or the guilds, or both. It is also not clear if the rating system is voluntary, or what is the incentivization of such rating system (other than being good samaritan in the network). We would also be interested to know whether rating capability is proportional to the volume of settlements from the user, or is also affected by the number of tokens held by the user.

Quote
The verification of code quality and the responsibility in such incidents is a serious low-level issue, and we wish to know more about how WAX plans to tackle them.

Quote
Another curious case would be to see how a 51% attack is avoided in such a system. To achieve 51% of the set of guilds, an entity have to get 33 (>64⁄2) guilds elected. Since selecting guilds is proportional to the cumulative tokens of the users, the entity needs to have around 33% of the WAX tokens, less than, say the amount WAX founders and advisors possess. The implications of a 51% attack in the network is dependent on the implementation details, which is yet to be seen.

Quote
The whitepaper does not do justice to the technical details, nor did they release any technical paper at this point.

I think an additional "yellow paper" would be interesting at this stage of affairs...
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Storj - Decentralized Storage on: October 28, 2017, 02:31:25 AM
I cannot believe POLONIEX just didn't convert the damn tokens themselves.... this is a fucking joke...
I had to sold my SJCX tokens 2 days ago because I was waiting for more than 5 days with a pending withdrawal.... and then... boom this stupid announcement... come on !!!
I agree Poloniex should've converted their SJCX to STORJ (ERC20) or at least delisted SJCX at the same time as they started trading STORJ but they seem to be slow working guys and not so collaborative with STORJ Labs' demands.

So if you don't wanna loose any possible STORJ pump you'd better convert your coins instead of exchanging for ETH or BTC...

BTW Poloniex's insistence on keeping SJCX tradable together with the new STORJ (ERC20) is nonsense...

Is it possible to buy some shares in this project?
Yes, but you need to ask for other users to sell or you could stake some shares running the network by yourself (it's proof of stake).

B E W A R E

Lauda is a known scammer and extortist (check it out yourself) he is in the same boat with Legendary user cryptodevil, well known for bashing and accusing legitimate projects a scam!

T H I N K   T W I C E   B E F O R E  Y O U  T R U S T   T H E M !
What I saw there was an endless discussion and lack of undeniable proofs and evidences.

As mentioned by Shorena, It really seems that Lauda commited some mistake but IMO nothing that really leads to a permanent ban as an escrow provider here though (i.e. no clients' funds stolen)...

...your trust score doesn't help either.  Undecided

You're free to bring us some more facts if you wish.
