Link to informative thread with information about using a bitcoinalk escrow service and list of bitcointalk escrows by Financisto here.

Please contact any of the above recommended escrows before conducting any business on bitcointalk.

This forum and the crypto world in general is full of scammers, using an escrow will help greatly against being scammed but not guarantee it.

Use common sense and due diligence and ask an established member if you're in any doubt. We're all here to help believe it or not .

*I've compiled this list to help forum users. At the time of last update these are all trusted forum escrows. If any escrow on this goes rogue and scams I'm not responsible in any way, shape or form.  I do not know any of them personally only through the bitcointalk forum. If in any doubt about one of the escrows please contact me or any of the other escrows on the list.

If anyone can recommend updates or corrections please send me a private message .

Thanks for the update!

If this list had included an escrows from local parts of the forum, then maybe the situation would be better for the entire community.

I wrote to the esteemed @hedgy73 several times, but I was rejected in response because "I dont have enough forum trust to be on the list".

When I gave him information about myself (11 December 2018), who I am, how many time I'm in the crypto community, and what I do), his answer was: "I can only go on what I see on the forum." -- I can assume he doesn't give a fuck about the information I gave him, and he didn't even check it out. And it turns out that he's "right" because he is the topic starter. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And the last one thing:

After that answer, it's understandable that I stopped messaging him, because it would be rude of me, and I also realized that he wouldn't add me to the list because of... <put_a_reason_here>.

And again, there are no criteria (except for the personal and subjective opinion of the author of the topic).

In the past, I was naive and thought that we were all a friendly community here, and we can help each other and of course newcomers in the community so they wouldn't fall into the hands of scammers.

My humble advice to a new escrows -- ignore this list, even though Google loves this topic.

Simply offer your services and build your reputation and do not participate in deals involving the selling/buying of forum accounts (LocalBitcoins accounts), because by doing so you're encouraging the spread of spam and potential fraud. (It's my personal belief.)

This post was written without a drop of anger or spite to the author of the topic.
I just expressed my opinion and how personally I see the situation.

Thanks.

They are quite fun, it is a lot more hobbyist that just buying antminer and plugging an ethernet cable. They can be a lot easier to screw up too that's for sure (DAMN YOU ESD!)

A hacky scrypt rig I assembled a while back, overclocked slightly to 13.6-13.7 MH/sec (all devices are stock because I'm a chickenshit when it comes to actually hardware modding such things   )...  It's all stuffed into a PC case because the computer therein also serves as my network gateway/firewall, so it's up 24/7 anyway.  The strips of tape across the front are just to keep my cats out while the machine is closed-up, as the front "knockout panels" have long since been removed.

36x750Ti 2 Gb, quiet, cold, very very compact, 30MH/s lyra2RE 

None here I posted here a few months back to get Darkstar_  added. I doubt you'll hear any objections either considering they have been entrusted with one of the positions on the forums multisig wallet.

DarkStar_ is a given for this list, considering he is now also part of the forum treasury Escrow team.

Big thumbs up from me!

The CET (crypto escrow team) is no longer escrowing. Lauda's thread also leads there.

minerjones still has an active thread: here.

Hi

I need escrow can someone help me?

If it's cheaper sure, but overall hashes is all that matters.

Thats great thank you

de is in Germany and main pool is in Dallas US. There is a slight lag on German server compared to the main one so if you have a choice, renting in US and using the main pool is better.
