IRC channel for OTC in India

[Stephen Gornick]

[Update:

An IRC channel for the Indian Bitcoin community and for trading is: #bitcoin-otc-india on Freenode.

Thanks to Amit for setting this up and serving as channel Op.]

-------------------


There are a few IRC channels specific to geographic location (actually, specific to currencies).


So there is a #bitcoin-cad for Canadian OTC trading.
There is a #bitcoin-otc-eu for EUR OTC transactions.

The channel name format isn't always consistent.  Sometimes the three-letter currency is used, other times the two-letter ISO country code.   Sometimes -otc- is in the name, but that makes the channel seem not for general conversation and I think a channel first that includes general conversation should be the starting point -- any OTC trading discussion in the region can occur there as well.

I'ld like to see a channel specifically for India.

Would anyone be willing to set up and become op for such a channel?

Spoke to someone who will be glad to set this up.

He uses IRC a lot.

Will request him to reply on this forum.

This is Amitabh. I am fine with handling an OTC channel for India. This is a good suggestion in the right direction.

For the sake of getting it started, I have registered the following channel with my nickname:

#bitcoin-otc-India

Now all we need is some traffic
