Damn, it's awfully quiet in here and on the exchange. A friend I recently convinced about XC wants to buy 25 btc worth of XC. Anyone willing to sell otc? Please PM me.

Here's an idea:

- every so often, some of us will want to sell XC to pay salaries, rent, etc.

- why don't we post the amount and asking price here and see if there are any takers?

- if there's a deal, trades can take place on Mintpal, which will keep the volume up.

- and the community will understand the reason for selling rather than being perturbed/outraged at the stupidity of sellers.

P.S. This was Bisky's idea. Thanks Bisky!

P.P.S. This would only make sense to those who want to see the price head upwards but still need to sell some XC.

Sounds like a great idea. But, shouldn't this be done on a separate sub-thread? I mean, XC trade thread could deal with whatever people want to exchange.

Possibly...

But that would remove one of its advantages, which is to let community members know what the selling is for.

I reckon that sell offers should be posted publicly, negotiated privately, and then final agreements to trade posted publicly.

After that the community can sit back and watch the trade take place on Bitcoinwisdom.

For a coin that is based on privacy, this discussion seems a bit odd to me.

Why should I disclose to the community that I am selling some XC? What about buying XC, should we make that public too? Or is it just to calm the ones that freak out when the price goes down?

Why try and centralize the trading of a decentralized currency? I'm confused. Huh

XC is intentionally designed to be optionally private. XC was never envisioned as being 100% private for all transactions, there are many legitimate use cases where a user won't want to turn on privacy. They key thing is XC empowers the user with the choice.
