Of course! It's great to be back. I've recently started at a new college and have been super busy IRL.

so it will be good if OP update the thread

Marcotheminer is not active anymore If you check his posting history , It would be much better If someone active enough on the forums make a new list instead.

It wouldn't be the same as this thread has been quoted by people countless times in other threads and this is more or less the officially accepted list of trusted escrows. Any new such escrow threads might be subject to bias towards one escrow service provider

You have a point there, however marcotheminer could request a change in ownership of the thread to any of the administrators so someone that is neutral (towards anyone, perhaps one of the moderators would be the ideal candidate) would be keeping the thread updated instead. But again the issue is, marcotheminer isn't active nowadays.

I would be prepared to administer the thread for a while if need be.

What I would do is browse the numerous pages to compile a list of all known Escrows, current or historical contact all of them regardless of activity (unless Red Paint ^TM such as master-p or QuickSeller etc) to ask the simple question: Are you an escrow still? then post a summary of their response along with a link they provide to their Escrow OP and and fees stated.

Of course, someone could do this anyway and then weekly/monthly post their results on this thread regardless of whether or not the OP is active.

I have a question. What is the quality to become a trusted escrow ? I do not make many trades here because I do not want to sell my bitcoin. However, I want to become a person who can hold an escrow for some trade or signature campaign. I would help me to earn extra income and I can also earn more trust point here
Thanks in advance

Be trustworthy enough that people ask you to escrow their deals. How to become trustworthy? -> http://www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Trustworthy-Person [1]

[1] just googled the question and clicked the first link. Was surpisingly good advice.

Agreed, surprisingly good advice in that link. I see many of these qualities in my default escrow agents and lack of those qualities in escrows I would never ever use.

Well,according to the link you send to me, I think I am trustworthy enough to make an escrow here. School always teaches us how to become a reliable and responsible person. However, because the Internet is full of scammers, people hardly accept a new guy to become their midman. That means I must work with maximum effort so as to gain trust point from people

Perhaps you should start over by questioning why you want to be an escrow.  If you want to be an escrow for profit, things will end badly.

If you have to ask, then you're not considered trustworthy enough to be considered as escrow, by almost everyone else here.

You should still work with maximum effort and with consistency, all the time.

Well, that depends also. I'm at the point in my "escrow career" where I simply don't take free contracts. Mind you, it's not my main source of income in these forums.

You can't be escrow here and make a ton of money unless it is your full time job and you're taking in a percentage or a fee every day.

More often, I'm one out of three possible signatures in a multi-sig contract; I don't even need to be present when the other two guys are available. Sometimes I'm the sole holder for some smaller contracts.

I believe I'm at the bottom of the list ... this list ... but I still get PMs.

If Marco can hear us. I suggest him to promote Sebastian to the Big 3 list. he's truly the biggest escrow provider with biggest amount.

The list should flag that one or two of the escrow such as TomatoCage are inactive and have been for more than six months.

I don't think any escrow here is making enough money from fees and tips to consider it a full time job.  My point was that if ged00u's sole purpose was to make money, it could influence him in running away with funds - his win.  It's just my opinion though, I started offering escrow services because I was tired of users getting scammed (more than now, I'm pretty sure), and only for that reason.  As cheesy as it sounds

A bit too late. I doubt any escrow would accept unless you forward all collected funds since the crowdfunding has started. You could also use a list provided by your escrow provider if you need individual addresses per account or participant.

Dont know if this is the right thread or not but minerjones would be a good one to include.  Very trustworthy has handled many trades and acts as an in between for international trades too.  I would vouch for him.
