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

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.

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.

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.
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 Tongue
