ME CONFUSED! :l
open your mind and learn this
the trust records (given/received ratings) are viewable over http / web
each user has a pgp keypair & has uploaded his public key to a key server so that other may find it easily
every web of trust user is registered also with the service and this is done in IRC (see first reply for a command that will show you a help message what to do on irc), there is a nice guide linked from bitcoin-otc, i think they have a wiki for this with a step by step guide.
so my buggy guide is:
- read the available guides
http://dylblog.com/2011/06/05/how-to-join-in-with-bitcoin-otc-the-easy-way-osx/ is my favourite, steps should be the same also for non mac os users; this guide is from the ofic source
http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/OTC_Rating_System- follow the guide (generate yourself a pgp keypair, register with irc/freenode, upload keys)
- get/give ratings
requires pgp/gpg & irc skills
