Escrow Feature announced, here's how to not mess up.
![](http://i.imgur.com/KvVTVOD.jpg)

@steemitblog announced the awaited [Escrow feature](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/announcing-steem-0-14-0-release-candidate) today, here's how you make sure to find a (more or less) trustworthy 3rd Party.

## Find an Escrow

* Join `#escrow` on https://steemit.chat/channel/escrow

## Verify an Escrow

* Ask them to proof their chat <> Steem link by posting a comment

after that:

* Ask for a Bitrated Profile, make them Proof they own it via GPG or Twitter/whatever is linked.  
Example (me) https://www.bitrated.com/fav you should ask me to sign something via my PGP Key and/or tweet something.

* Ask for PGP verification
Example (me): https://keybase.io/fav

*Optional*

Ask for other ways for Proof of Trust:
- Admin/Mod somewhere?
- Reputable Site?

# Rule Number One: Always ask for Proof. Always.

If you need help, feel free to ask me in the chat!
