[ANN] LocalBitcoins.com - a location-based bitcoin to cash marketplace

[DannyHamilton]

The localbitcoins user kagomeluvsu2 tried to scam me and wasted a bunch of my time.  He wanted me to send him a screenshot of our transaction "for security reasons".  Playing along I sent him the screen shot.  Then he had the balls to ask me to "click on the show button" and resend the picture.

His phone numbers are 281-891-3127, 913-200-1331 and 913-210-0571 in case anyone is interested.

This is the same user that got away with the same scam yesterday a few times.  He tried me (and failed) as well.  Yesterday he was using the ID sucraM, but he's still using the same phone number (bold and underlined in the quote).  Here are the posts discussing it:

I'm parting out my purple 240sx, ka24. I'm keeping engine. Will be taking offers on parts. Everything is for sale including wheels.

Car jack is like new, only used a few times.

913-200-1331

Not sure which bumper that is though.

information might be available via his licence plates in the pictures?

In the "Price equation" field in your advertisement, can you not write an equation that pulls up the 24hr avg. price for a certain exchange?  Does the USD_24hr command only pull up the average USD price across all exchanges?

The reason I ask is because I noticed it didn't matter whether I tried to pull up cbxUSD or bitstampUSD while using the USD_24hr command.  It didn't change the price when I switched between the two.

Comparing with bitcoincharts,

Code:

bitstampUSD_avg

seems to be what you are looking for. USD_24h is from here: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/currencies/

Ah, that's the one I was looking for, thanks.

Any way to see someone's OTC ID, even when that person doesn't have any OTC ratings yet?
It's hard to give someone the first rating that way ;-)
(Or did I really not find a *single* person with OTC and no rating yet? Come on, nerd community!)

People who have OTC IDs like me ( https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/TheButterZone/ ) have to link them to LB via signing a one time pass with their OTC BTC address. There are some scammer bastards pretending to be in OTC like randomcat (fake) is to random_cat (real).

Yep!
But even when they linked their existing OTC handle to their LB profile, I believe it's not displayed until the OTC has a rating. Then you see the OTC handle and, well, the rating..

Maybe I'm doing it wrong and simply never stumbled upon a LB profile with OTC, but no OTC rating yet?

I dunno here.. Does anyone have such an account?

Cart before the horse. Why link your account before you have anything to show?

Because is want to give them a rating!
..and to receive a rating back, of course ;-)
The normal web-of-trust-thingie.

They should start by doing a deal over OTC while authed, get rated on OTC, then link OTC to LB. I guess you can ask the person on OTC to sign a message with their OTC key and message it to you over LB, verify it yourself, then you rate them on OTC...

I fully agree, this would be the normal and right way.
An easy shortcut would be to simply list their linked OTC handle, or a tiny "OTC" icon which links to it. ;-)
This probably saves some time for people, and costs just little time to implement.
If not, no big deal. I'll just wait for what Jeremias thinks of this :-)

If I understand you correctly and since many users use the same nick at both, you could Ctrl+f on this site:http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratings.php

Would love to see the results within a certain radius (the same city? the same state?) sorted by PRICE, or even better, the ability to sort by PRICE AND FEEDBACK.
So I can weed out those w/o 100% positive rep and THEN decide on the right price.

The way it currently is, I dunno WHAT the criteria are.

I second sorting options!
