"A distributed Bitcoin Exchange" Will do with the currency exchange, like USD, EUR.

[anu]

here's a site you might take a look at.
AltoCenter.com

A site with the word "center" in the name spams in this thread, how cute. Anything centralized really is a design error. You made my day!

Thanks. What about another test drive?

[CoolBliss]

So how would this work? Would two people find each other on the distributed "Zero Reserve"-exchange and then person A would make a bank transfer to person B's personal bank account, and person B would in turn send XBT to person A's bitcoin address?

Did you read the manual?

I'd take part this time, since this project looks really good.  (Of course, assuming that I have time when the test drive is done.)

[anu]

Thanks. What about another test drive?

Last test drive I figured out how to do it automated. When the automated tests run smooth, we'll do one on a release candidate.

The seller will never know who the buyer is and vice versa.

Your problem is that you think there is something special about banks. This is what distinguishes banks from companies that do good stuff like Porsche or Ardbeg: Really anyone can do what banks do. You don't need a bank to transfer, create or lend money.

Added.

All: Please always add the location info at the bottom. RS can connect anyway if your DHT is working, but that may take forever and longer.
[EDIT:] This reveals your IP address and thus your geographical location. If you don't want that, PM me. RS 0.6 offers TOR support for the extremely paranoid, but we're still on 0.5.5.

Also: Credit is location dependent. As long as there is only a name but no location, I can't grant credit.

In case anyone wonders why this email address looks weird - the email is going into the Retroshare Network, where it is untraceable. The mailbox is actually a Retroshare GXS ID. There are other reasons to install Retroshare than just Zero Reserve. Untraceable Email is one of them.

Where do I find this GXS ID? I tried to send to various numbers I could find in my profile, but none of the emails made it through to my Messages panel.

Its in the upcoming 0.6 release of Retroshare - you won't find it in 0.5.5. In 0.6, you can simply create them under "Identities". Sorry for the confusion.

Also, at this time, the SMTP <-> Retroshare gateways are very limited, for example they work only one direction, from SMTP->RS. We're currently moving to SMTP/MIME as message format (not for transport, obviously). Once this is done, the gateways will work both directions.

How are things?

Anu told me that he is quite busy with some other important matter but that things look good and he is looking forward to the next test round (should be the last testnet round ).

[doolittle]

Looking forward to another test run

I tried adding your PGP block, Anu, and it fails.  I have to strip out the pre and post parts to get a green check mark.  But, then when I hit next, it fails with "Unknown section type".  

I heard RS changed the key format.  Do you have a new one I can try.  

EDIT: After catching up,  saw you were on 0.5.  Are you on 0.6, yet?  How's ZR coming along?
