I contacted an escrow roughly 24 hours ago and have yet to get a response. Personally it irks me a bit when escrow do that but life does happen and I understand that. I had one previously charge 1/3rd of my total while flaking and holding the funds for 2 days after being told to release by the client. Basically I dont want any of that this time. This is a small project where I'm writing a fairly simple AI model for a client here in the forums. The total is $200 and will most likely be done today. It is generally a bad idea to start a project before I get a payment but the user seems legit and the project pretty interesting. Please post or PM with links to your existing escrow threads.
