GPG and #bitcoin-otc tutoring

PGP and GPG can be very confusing for those just starting out. I provide tutoring services using Skype screenshare (optional). We can cover everything even remotely related:
  • Downloading and installing GPG
  • Creating a keypair
  • importing and exporting public keys
  • signing and encrypting files
  • verifying signatures
  • getting started with #bitcoin-otc
  • moving your keyring around
  • gpg related command-line tricks
  • how pgp works, from a basic overview to why primes are so cool

To finish it off, we'll rate each other on #bitcoin-otc, to allow you to "bootstrap" your ratings. (Few people trade with new users, and you can't rate someone without having been rated yourself.)

I have done this several times now (some sessions were private) on multiple operating systems including various Linux flavors, Mac, and Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8. In one hour you can go from not knowing what GPG stands for to being ready to trade on #bitcoin-otc and able to sign, encrypt, decrypt, verify signatures, and use keyservers from multiple computers.

Pricing:
0.1 BTC / hour
One hour is sufficient for general use, but two hours will allow us to go very in-depth. New: They can also include a Bitmessage overview.
MPOE-PR is sponsoring one free hour per person.  Anonymous (unpublished) sessions are possible but are not free, and they do not end in a #bitcoin-otc rating.

Due to an influx of demand, I'm changing the scheduling process. If you wish to have a session at one of the times below, post it in this thread, and PM me your Skype name.

All times are EST. First come first served.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

This is a great idea, well done Nimda.

The first five people to retain these services starting NOW will receive 1 hour of tutoring free, courtesy of MPEx. Nimda, please post an address for your payment. Everyone benefiting from the free offer please kindly post here a note saying how long it took you so we know.

Once again, cool idea.

Just got done with my tutoring session, verified and rated!  nimda's instructions were precise and clear and he came off as very knowledgeable.  Tipped 1 BTC for such a great service.  Anyone looking to get into bitcoin-otc would be foolish to pass up such a great deal!

I'll be free for most of (Thursday through Tuesday). Remember, tutoring is still free, courtesy of MPOE-PR!

To set up a session, send me a PM with availability and timezone. Include anything you already know/have done.

I would love to take you up on this! I'll PM you to talk about availability. I'm a financial guy in the process of learning all the cryptography and encryption stuff we need to know to operate efficiently in this market. I have read up about both subjects and was just about to create my OTC account, so this would be perfect for me.

This session has been completed. We've rated each other on #bitcoin-otc. Working with Jordan was a pleasure.

Free hours are still available, courtesy of MPOE-PR!

Just finished the tutoring, thanks again nimda! I really appreciate your help... and patience.

Thanks to MPOE-PR as well for sponsoring the session, this is a really valuable offer for those like me who aren't experienced with GPG.
