Recommended bitcointalk escrow services

[GazetaBitcoin]

This topic needs a serious revamp. Some of the users mentioned in OP should be removed, while others should be added.

DarkStar_ should be removed from OP as he is not offering escrow services anymore:

My service is no longer active.

Lutpin should also be removed as I didn't see any topic where he announced that he is offering escrow services.

bittawm's ANN thread is missing from OP; here it is: Bittawms Legendary Escrow Service - 0.9% BTC. However, the user was banned in the past, according to LoyceV:

He's banned:

    27. Legendary bittawm (Trust: 118: -0 / +13) (45 Merit earned (history)) (BPIP)

He was later unbanned, but I don't know if an ex-banned user can be considered reliable for acting as escrow.

Other users from OP should be asked if they are willing to offer escrow services anymore. One example is John K., which is mostly inactive for months.

Besides, other reliabe users are offering escrow services and they should be added to OP. Such examples are yogg ([ESCROW] 🌠 yogg's escrow service ⭐ BTC & Alts ⭐ Fast ⭐ Reliable ⭐ Secure 🌠) or MoparMiningLLC (offering escrow services).

Just wanted to say that bans can happen quickly on here. I also had a short ban once because of one of the inofficial forum rules that said that I can't create multiple posts one after another in a thread. I wanted to answer everyone properly so that was that.

Better use a divider and collect all answers to different users in the same post. Just saying it's easy to get caught in a rule you don't know is worth a ban. Not sure what his ban was about though.

MoparMiningLLC (offering escrow services).

thank you for the reccomendation!

[GazetaBitcoin]

thank you for the reccomendation!

No worries But I think it's more important to see if OP will come back online to update the topic, as he is away for more than 1 month... In case he won't come back, maybe another topic should be created, a properly updated one.

there is another thread about escrow providers. There are several - some updated, some not.

That topic mentioned by you is very old (2013) and I had the impression that it is not updated. Now I see it was updated this month. I'll write there my suggestions as well, thanks for the heads-up!

Not sure what his ban was about though.

As far as I see, he was baned for plagiarism, according to Cyrus: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5145454.msg51144345#msg51144345.

Not sure why he would copy a sentence, maybe it was his second account. In any case it's somewhat weird that you get banned for that as a legit and established account that would likely not spam posts for sig campaigns or something.

It's best to write as few as possible on here in order to not violate some hidden rule, it seems. I do not really appreciate that feeling.

yes, it is very easy to get banned - I was banned for a ref link that was for tracking purposes - which Cyrus told me was ok - but another mod decided it was worth banning me for - banned me 3 days for 1 link (first offense) and then upped it to 7 days (because I had 2 total posts with the ref link)

It's not a hidden rule, plagiarism was always a bannable offense. People who pass off other users' posts as their own tend to do it on more than one occasion. Imagine what the mess the forum would be if a lot more users were to spam it with copy-pasted posts, inevitably scaring away worthwhile contributors.

That's for sure, especially since there are tools like XRumer that just would try to farm accounts like that. Or users that want to earn from sig campaigns. However, in that case it feels like the full heavyness of the law fell down for a really small problem. I mean one could say the rules are the same for everyone but the rule came into place for some special cases his post probably didn't fit in.

The worst thing about it is that the forum only has 2 bans. If you had a timed ban then the next one will take you out. Which is horrible and especially when you are a long time and established user on here you nearly has to fear someone crawling behind you just for the purpose of finding a little offense that could kill you for bitcointalk indefinitely. The more you post the higher the risk and the longer you are on here the higher the risk as well.

But it's probably not the right place to discuss this here. Or maybe it is since most escrows are long time members that would not want to risk their accounts just to being able to copy a post for whatever reason. It just doesn't make sense that copying that post was worth anything near to it when he was aware of what he did. Or even did in intentially which is who the rule was made for, users that intentionally post copies to push their post count to earn from sigs or level up.

Also to mention it here, current pricing would make me lower my min fee to 3 mBTC. Please update when you have time. Thank you!

Hi everyone apologies for not keeping an eye on this thread, I used to get emails telling me when someone had commented but haven't had any.

Long story short I'm out of the game now so hadn't' been logging in anymore. I still have an interest but not as much as before.

I'll get in touch with each escrow later today or tomorrow to see if they're still offering the service and if anything needs updating. Or they can contact me in the meantime.

If some are removed then perhaps there are some other good trusted escrows I can add?
