FEE HAS BEEN REDUCED! 0.005 BTC FEE MINIMUM.

Hash: SHA512

Hey guys!  This is monbux from bitcointalk, and I am offering escrow services for the crypto community. The I charge a minimum of a 1% tip off the transaction with the minimum being 0.01 BTC. The fee for ICOs are negotiable, PM me to discuss more!

I've been an active member of the crypto community since 2013 and started offering escrow services in 2014. I've conducted thousands of successful transactions, many of them being ones in which I was the middleman.

The clients will be able to choose how the funds will be held.  By default, the buyer/client will be sending bitcoins to an address on a trezor hardware wallet (which is basically un-hackable).

My PGP Key is here.

If you need me to escrow something, please send me a PM of the full terms and the people participating in your trade.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on this thread or via PM!

That's pretty much all the important info... my previous trades and references:

1. PM me OR post here (best if you do both) with a short explanation of your trade (what you're trading, who you're trading with).

2. I will start a group PM with all members participating in the trade and ask for confirmation from all parties of the trade details.  If you have any terms to mention, do it now before the escrow (me) signs the message.

3. Follow the instructions on the PGP signed message I provide.  What happens now obviously differs trade from trade as for they are different.

4. Most likely, a safe transaction would happen and both parties will receive what was initially agreed on.  

5. If a dispute were to arise, the transaction process would be halted and I will act as the mediator (and judge) and release the BTC and/or other goods to the party/parties with the most concrete (strongest) evidence and reasoning.  I will remain neutral throughout the dispute.

SECURITY UPGRADE: TREZOR HARDWARE WALLET NOW AVAILABLE AND WILL BE USED FOR EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTION~

I've been getting a lot of PMs regarding users trying to fake a quote from me during the escrow process so they could scam the buyer with a fake escrow address, or a phishing link of a reputable escrow's thread that has its bitcoin address changed.

Please note that if YOU have been PMed by users like these, please ignore them.  Always, Always, Always confirm directly with the escrow.

My services are done as a favour for the community.  I will not take responsibility for your losses.

Thanks a lot for that!   I'm also willing to offer free escrow services for certain trades - like for non-profit or something  

I'll drop a vouch for him. From what I've seen, he's very reliable and prompt.

Yep, I trust monbux. I'm sure he provides a great escrow service.

Monbux, you are a good guy I follow your posts as im sure you see mine just as much, i have given you positive feed back for your continuous contribution to the community, i hope you stay with us for a while

Just a quick question, what have you done to deserve your Bitcointalk++ rating. you have the worst rating I have seen so far! (-13)

It's the highest Bitcoin++ negative trust I have seen upto now. You must have pissed someone one big time!

No problem, its quite nice the script, makes BTT much better!

(If you want me to delete my posts, just say so!)

You can actually see who gave you the rating, well atleast the hash of the persons bitcointalk name.

This is probably a stupid question, but why does anybody need to use a cryptocurrency escrow service? Why can't the buyer and seller just make a bid and an ask on one of the exchanges (like cryptsy.com) ?  I understand about escrow services in general (I have used escrow.com for dozens of domains purchases and sales), I just am unfamiliar with their use in this area.
