Title: bitcoin-otc
Post by: Diarrhea Girl on April 24, 2013, 01:26 am
I tried to learn about it and failed. Can someone explain this a little easier than the huge wiki? I created a huge pgp public key. Now what? Can I connect to that irc server using tor as a socks5 proxy? Is this service not noob friendly?

OTC is just buying and selling BTC and other goods and services  with random people.. The OTC thing just lets people rate how much they trust you based on a transaction. Personally I think it is really stupid as you can rate people you have never dealth with.. and you could also make 100 accounts and just keep giving yourself good feedback.  Also as everyone has a different opinion, in some peoples minds buying 1 BTC from someone means 'ZOMG THEY ARE SO TRUSTWORTHY!!!!!!' but in other peoples minds 1 BTC might not equate to that.

All the old time hero members who turned out to be scammers on the bitcointalk forums had excellant OTC ratings.
