Gauging interest in making a community (here on monero.town) where sellers would be able to post their seller profiles, including:
- a min/max amount of xmr they have for sale
- any payment methods, currencies, or coins they accept
- communication methods they accept
- links to accounts on other sites with feedback, and any verification they choose to include
No escrow (unless buyer/seller want to arrange it). Buyers could post reviews on the seller threads.
It would allow buyers and sellers to have a place to find each other, along with all the information they need to make successful trades with established sellers. Buyers and sellers could complete transactions any way they see fit.
He needs to share his certificate. ID is not enough. Standard is you become friends (see below) first. Then you’ll see his chat lobbies, forums, etc.
Try this on a test account, Do not systematically sign or authenticate your friends’ keys. Use DHT mode on clearnet to test.
Retroshare ID is not enough to connect. Share your certificate (PGP public key) with your friend and request the certificate from your Friend. This is normally done in person or any other secure trusted channel. Both need to ACK each others pub key.
Moreover both need to be online to find each other.

First… our beloved friends from the 3 letter agencies are the first to create groups. They fork Haveno. Post “help” videos. etc. etc. Pretend that we censor them when we call out their honeypot website ads in here.
Second… people don’t understand that “creating a new group” is not enough. They need to share their public PGP key (or hashed version). SimpleX makes this easy in the form of a http:// link to onboard new users. Even this process is too difficult to understand for most noobs.
We’ll keep it up.
