Is anyone working on a frontend for OTC? It would have to run locally, and connect to IRC by itself, but that part shouldn't be too hard to get rolling.
I can use OTC fine. It's just such a chore, so I'm less likely to conduct trades.

Only do business with people you know and trust. Anything else is just a good heuristic that will fail.
But there is no web site where you can use a reputation system easily like "StackOverflow"-like-rep-schema, for example?
OTC is for nerds, and it's boring and useless even for nerds without time.
Atruk, really, do you think great mass will use something like OTC?

what is the ultimate system for Bitcoins reputation on the great mass? OTC does not count because it's complicated. TL; DL.
OTC is the gold standard. A close second is having your IRL identity well known. Beyond that the Rhodium circa 2008 (around 10,000 an once back then) standard is the strong WOT rating from OTC trades combined with a well known IRL identity.
For all of the effort it might seem to take to use OTC and WOT, as well as further time to build a reputation there that is where most of the big deals happen.
It is a bit much for most people, so a lesser standard is building up a general history of making good trades and not being and asshole. Read the scam accusations threads and understand why some things make people suspicious.
