This is a nice initiative but the process may have some problems along the way if it becomes popular.
• This us not an exchange board, so trust score is not visible here, this will mean that someone who doesn't pay much attention can easily trade with a scammer and lose their naira or Bitcoin,
• Without an escrow there's no level of protection. Why anyone go send first to an anonymous person here when your only guarantee us they should be scared of getting red trust?
• Generating enough liquidity will also be problematic. This will be the major factor that will dissuade people.
As a fix we can have 9ja people wey wan sell/buy bitcoins and have good reputation create their own thread in the general currency exchange board. Anyone interested in the service ca contact any of them and trade with them, publicly as well.
Sometimes ago, I came up with similar topic like that of Op here but I think there's a bit uniqueness in-between.
Bitcoin has really been a conducive source by which we can process our financial transactions via P2P without the exchange to fiats just to process with the local transaction. And boycotting the barriers by which the government stood as blockage against the citizens and the Crypto exchange is by ingnoring using the centralized exchange but making our payments directly on the decentralized p2p non custodial network would had been a good alternative for us
The Op has made some great creative ideals and you too has also made great points.
Actualizing this really requires lot of factors such as having much active number of vendors willing to trade on 24/7 either to buy or to sell and achieving this requires popularity of this forum specifically this section to locate the thread on a pinned. Awareness needs to be soecualtedy so that crypto enthusiasts who're not aware of this platform can locate and situate on this platform for their p2p transactions.
A a large scalability of crypto enthusiasts will be required to achieve this goal but the problem just as said is the factor inexperienced bitcoin and the crypto holders are vulnerable to be scammed in this process which I addressed as "crypto illiterates" in my thread and escrows on DT giving red tags on vendors or members who may have compromised the reputations may not still keep the system clean unless there'd be a solid guarantee that the escrows would be responsible for any scammed activities on the process else the negative occurances possible to happen at the course could tanish the reputation of bitcoin in our society and not just this naira P2P trading section in the forum.
Unfortunately I don't think the escrows would accept this term because it's not worth of engaging on such risks of where they're not benefiting else it'd assume to be a manipulation by considering that Investors and vendors may only be interested in visiting the forum only for the trading factor and not like those forum members who're here for otherwise of building their bitcoin carriers.
This Op intro is actually a good one, I don't know much about reputational logistics maybe those of you the escrows can structure on how to make this proposal a reality because with the mentality of our government, anything is possible so it'd be better if we crypto enthusiasts plans ahead on manoeuvring the p2p transaction ahead of time.
Scrutinization can actually be a feasible starting point by my suggestion.
