How important is the member status of your trading partner?Does it really matters to you if our trading partner is a "senior member" or a "hero"? Or do you always use escrow no matter what? I want to find out what real value is hidden in the member rank on bitcointalk. I think the result will be very interesting! Please make your vote, thanks!

For me, depends on the amount of Btc that needs to be transact. For small amounts i would be willing to go first on ranks higher than Sr. member. The thing is, why would they risk their account where you need to wait for months just for small amount that's not even worth it with your rank. But when it becomes big amount, then it should be escrowed for much safer way.

Thanks for your valuable input. Maybe I should have added "when trading a substantial amount". I understand that you prefer escrow if it is a substantial amount, is this correct? I've read the other day that it is recommended to use multiple escrow agents with multi-sig when the amount is really big! I've never heard of this before, but maybe it's worth a thought.

it's important but not so important like trust, because nowadays many account are bought and you have an easy chance to deal with scammer even as a legendary

^^ this is the problem... I don't mind the fact that accounts are bought and sold on this forum, but it makes trading a bit more difficult because you're never 100% sure you're not talking to a new owner. Even private keys might get sold with the account from time to time (think about master-p, his first defense was saying he sold both his account and private key). That being said, i'd trade with anybody as long as an escrow was/is used, and without escrow with green trusted senior+ members as long as they can sign a message with a staked address and their account is worth more than the trade itself

But as I understand even a bought account keeps it's trust, so why is trust more important than the member rank?

Member status just describes about you and your travel with the bitcoin. Only the trust you have earned will help you in trading. So if you wanna be a trader or a partner in trading its better to increase trust rate rather than rank.

But as I understand even a bought account keeps it's trust, so why is trust more important than the member rank? in that case they are similar, but without that case trust cunt more, so overall the trust rating is more important also trust alone won't cut it, in the sense that when i look at the trust of one user i want to see diffrent kind of trust and not done all with the same person or for the same thing this is important for me

So it seems to me that neither member rank nor trust rating make any difference when you trade, you guys play safe and prefer escrow. But it's too early to say that after 5 votes, we'll see when more votes came in.

Hero or Legendary are more safe if we compare to Newbie in all cases. Newbie can make account, make some posts and go away.

How important is the member status of your trading partner?Does it really matters to you if our trading partner is a "senior member" or a "hero"? Or do you always use escrow no matter what? I want to find out what real value is hidden in the member rank on bitcointalk. I think the result will be very interesting! Please make your vote, thanks! It depends on amount involved.If it is too much like 0.5 btc or above,I wouldn't do it without escrow irrespective of his forum rank.For amount lesser than 0.09 I can do without escrow if member rank is higher than full member

The amount threshold will be individual and depends on the personal circumstances. Maybe you could vote what would you prefer if the trade is of a substantial amount.

it is not about the members status in trading it is about how legitimate a trading partner is. Escrow for me is like a back up to complete what i want but the most important is the trading partner that you know well and has done successful trades. scammers are smarter these days that's why trust is not always above 80% now it is below that and the 20% up is always vigilance and monitoring for your trading partner because sometime's somehow people change their mood or attitude.

Pretty unanimous results, but yeah, I would never trade without the use of a trusted escrow. Maybe not if it's a really low amount and I'm dealing with a really trusted seller that wouldn't want to risk ruining his reputation.

If it is a small amount I can go first with a senior or hero rank provided that they have zero negative trust but if it a huge amount I definitely will prefer escrow to safeguard y funds..

Member status isn't really important. It's all about the feedback and the comments left on the account. Or if you are feeling paranoid, there is a list of escrows here.

All accounts can be sold. Heroes and beyond might be playing a very long con or just have funny turns. Just because someone's been posting here for a couple of years doesn't make them any more virtuous. Escrow or die.
