Hello there!
So I posted a thread (my first thread on this forum) to buy bitcoin in the currency exchange section.
I added that the seller should send me the bitcoin first and some other requirements. Oh, boy was that a mistake. It was pointed out that my thread looked extremely suspicious, to say the least, so I changed it. Now I would only use an escrow...
even from this description it sounds like scam, other than that, you have new account, no trust whatoever :/
Anyways. I have been trading on other forums before, but not bitcoin.
Could you tell me about the best practices when trading bitcoin on this forum?
Forum is not suited for exchanging bitcoin, escrow is only real possibility of fair trade.
How can I ensure maximum possible safety for both myself and the seller?
Good escrow, nothing else.
