How could it be? A professional escrow got Bitcoin wallet corrupted in the process of escrow! If op received the products, he is still facing this issue! It is really affecting his reputation! IMO if master-p has backup Bitcoin, he should refund the BTC to the sender asap!

i am not saying he is a scammer either , i posted here because i got worried , and also to get some help so he can get his wallet reindexed but its the first time i heard this issue when a pc crashed , database got corrupted thats what made me post here.

Give him some time I'm sure this will get sorted out soon.

Yes I am waiting on him , and will post an update. and thanks for the reply

I've dealt with master-p for a few years here on the forums and I don't believe he's a scammer. Seemed honorable to me always.

Always make sure you have backups of your private keys somewhere folks... if your wallet goes down or crashes at the very least you can still access and move your coins with the privkey.

What do you mean trusted?
How could you trust anonymous person?
He is forum member
No ID no address
Do not fuck around telling he is trusted.
He is another anonymous person who done some succesfull trades before but it doesnt mean he couldnt run away now!
And OP asked for escrow. But now money stuck.
What it is ? Free loan for a couple of days while his wallet get fixed? Ha?
Escrow kills people time!
Escrow is the same dangerous as sending first!
Not a first time escrow provider runs with the money.
And wondering if Master-p will pay intrest for that 1btc he borrowed?
Or you want to say me it is not a loan?

[kl8847]

Rate Master P
Give him negative trust
He deserves this
That would help others to avoid coins getting stuck somewhere

And remmember TRUST NO ONE !

All these "reputable forum escrow" are anonymous people. Who knows who they are and where are they from.

I will give him some time , as he seems to be a good person bro, he is reindexing his blockchain and if everything goes fine i will update.

Just my 2 cents, but Mastet-p is for sure not a scammer his account is worth more than this i think

Just calm down and wait a bit

Good luck :-)

Calm down man, everyone faces technical glitches and you're right, Forum-escrows are anonymous members of whom we know nothing about but they're still more trusted than newbies who haven't traded or spent time on this forum.

If you're trading online, you're going to have to trust someone, either that would be mediator or you trust the person you're dealing with directly. It's up to you who you choose to trust.

Let's just wait before blowing this thing out of proportion.

For sure, such approach is pragmatic, but reputation make sense

I would not worry about master-p eventually releasing the funds held in escrow. He has released >1BTC many times in the past and I would find it unlikely that he is going to pull a runner over such a small amount.

The problem that master-p is describing is a problem that can happen with armory and I believe that master-p has publicly said that he uses armory in the past. While it is possible to backup your private keys/wallet, it is really not realistic to expect someone to maintain backups of the blockchain because a) it is so large, and b) it is trivial (although time consuming) to re-download the blockchain if necessary. 

[mexxer-2]

He is currently holding ~2 BTC in escrow for E-coin campaign and 1+ BTC for seperate campaigns, and has always released payments in time. I wouldn't worry much about him not refunding you.
