Well not really strange, how long is customary to wait between registering and posting? in fact, I only registered so that I could post. I am willing to pay to trusted escrow. I am not a sockpuppet, just someone who does not get involved in community matters, usually read.
Don't worry about what Cryptovator said. Some of our community members can get overzealous or over suspicious towards newcomers. You can almost say that most of us live in constant paranoia that every newcomer is here to scam us out our money.
You can either use Darkstar, bl4nkcode, Parodium, Devthedev as trusted escrows.
If you need more help and advice, feel free to PM me.
