Topic: My n00b question... Bitcoin-OTC (Read 631 times)
The webpages above have all the instructions but if you are having trouble, the people in #bitcoin-otc are some of the most helpful I have ever encountered online.
I'm not sure if you were aware, or had already visited the wiki: http://bitcoin-otc.com.
The Web of Trust is the other piece you'll need : http://bitcoin-otc.com/trust.php
Once you are bitcoin authenticated (using the signing capabilities of bitcoin-qt), then you need to authenticate with GPG.
If you are looking for a step by step, my book does cover, setting up IRC, and getting Bitcoin authenticated. I cover the process of GPG authentication in my blog in the article "Establishing Trust".

Everybody can see what happened in your OTC.
All instructions of how the bot to work with the OTC are on the wiki.
A trusted member is just someone with succesful trades

I'm no longer in "newbie jail"... In fact, I've been on the streets for a good while. But this is probably such a n00bish question I decided to come back and check with my parole officers! 
I'd like to know a bit more about Bitcoin-OTC and how I can sign up, verify my identity and become a "trusted member".
Can you tell me such things as what information is required? Who are the people that have access to this information? etc, etc?
Thanks,
