so far, only attempts to scam. too bad, 'twas a promising concept.
we should be able to link the account to bitcointalk.org account and at least show our post count anyone can join bitcoinary.com with just an email address

*snif* … I'm no scammer No, seriously, what's your point? What's your suggestion? I thought I wouldn't do trades because I'm the only Bitcoiner in Chile but maybe there is something flawed about the site?

I thought I wouldn't do trades because I'm the only Bitcoiner in Chile but maybe there is something flawed about the site? well it's too easy to fake ratings. some user yesterday: - was active for 2 hours - had one positice rating - from a user that was active for 2 hours and told me that i should send first (600BTC, no less!) because he "had feedback" and I didnt. i dunno maybe have yout bitcoin-otc rating up there?

i dont see what you're getting at. you dont wanna deal with me, fine.
I also dont do PayPal.
You can always SEPA or mail me cash and you will absolutely have the BTC no later than 6 transactions after I have the money in hand/on account.
this whole ratings-feedback-thing has complicated and overtechnicalized dealings a whole lot.
where once i was able to do deals just on the basis of my postcount, my tax number visible on my website etc etc, and the impression that i'm a decent guy, now i require feedback on some random greymarket site or need to sign a pgp contract to buy 200 bitcoins and still send first via moneygram because i only registered with bitcoin-otc last week etc etc yadayada...
90% of my time is haggling with potential customers, half of which are scammers, the other half have some liking to this or that rating system/site which adds a whole magnitude of complication to the whole thing.

I see your points I agree. No matter what someone can still fuck you. I was just making a bad joke above, my apologies I'm trying to think up an easy way for people to feel very secure in doing these trades. Maybe Escrow is underutilized

Also, I agree with other people saying that we should have the option to link our bitcointalk.org accounts to bitcoinary.

Also be careful of NIC scamming. Here on BCT I know some users have traded with highly rated OTC users only to be scammed and find out that the scammer never proved they owned the OTC nic.
Love what bitcoinary is trying to do but they need to do a better job of vetting users if they want to encourage legitimate traders.

It's just as easy to fake ratings at bitcoin-otc. It's just more convenient to use bitcoinary than otc in the first place. I for example gave up on otc when I wanted to use it last year as other services were more convenient. I did in-person trades so far only. Well, once I was friends with my trading partners, this changed but the first trade I would rather travel an hour to meet that guy than to send bitcoins in good faith.

I meant your in person trade #1 in a bar in Viña del Mar Bitcoin Spinner to Bitcoin Spinner. Very smooth. #2 in the street in Santiago Spinner to some Address and then blockchain.info on my phone to show him it has reached him. His internet failed on him.

Looks like a good idea.
What about charging 0.5% for each part as a fee?
And the average % a person should charge is around 5%, not 10%-20%.
You could try some kind of escrow. Wait for the receiving part to confirm he received the funds before the coins become accessible.

parts of what?
Both parts (buyer/seller) of the transaction to maintain server costs. Each part pays 0.5% to Bitcoinary.

I would suggest a last time one site feature so its easier to tell if someone is scamming and ignoring us or simply not available. Also Xeser is a scammer using email: compl3x@gmail.com
