Bitcoin Forum

I have a few questions.  I am new and learning. 
1.  Can I have more than one account?  It seems like people are buying and selling these accounts, so does that mean I can have more than one?  What are the rules with this?
2.  How does this trust thing work?  I see some newbies with -xx trust and I do not know how I earn trust?

Thank you in advance for who ever answers and I look forward to being a good part of this community.

Here this may help you. Read this thread it addresses your questions.



Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

"account sales are discouraged".

There's really no reason to have more than one or two accounts at the most.
If I see blatant account farming, I usually leave negative feedback.

Thank you!!  This was very helpful and great at identifying questions I did not even know I wanted to know.  I will be sure to post if I have any more questions.  Thanks again.  Just to confirm, the signature thing, is that this CRYPT VPN I am seeing at the bottom of your post?

Yes.  You can learn more about "trust" in the FAQ too.

This is a very touchy subject. While it is not against the rules to have more than one account, there are those who are against it. I would use alternative accounts very scarcely if at all if you are going to have multiple accounts. I would say post mostly from one account, and you can create another account if you use it rarely as a means to either promote your business or some other specific purpose.

1) You are allowed to have as many account as you want but account trading is discouraged. The main reason for this market is due to the signature campaigns. I would strongly discourage against buying account from people who farm them as they introduce spam and the account wouldn't be of high quality either.
2) Trust rating is unregulated. There is a predetermined list of default trustable people. They are meant to guide newbies and people should remove them when they established their own trusted circle. The trust rating depends on your trust rating, if I'm on your trust rating and I give someone negative feedback, their trust would be red and I'll appear in the trusted feedback. If I'm not, I'll appear in the untrusted feedback and the trust on the profile would be black.

1. Yes, You can
2. Trust thing is not global, Means when you give someone a neg/pos trust, You can only see the neg/pos trust you gave.

Explanation:
These scores are taken from your trust network. They are not global scores. You can edit your trust network here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust
If your trust depth is set to 2 (the default), you will trust feedback by people you trust, people they trust, and people they trust. I might change the default in the future; we'll see how this works. Your trust list is public.

On feedback pages, you can leave trade feedback. There are no rules for this, but here are some guidelines:
- List all of the trades that you do with people (or at least the major ones). This is not like #bitcoin-otc where you give people just one score.
- Do not rate people based on the quality of their posts.
- Older ratings count for more, so don't delete old ratings if you can avoid it.
- "Risked BTC" is how much money you could have lost if the person you're rating had turned out to be a scammer. Or, if they are a scammer, it's how much you lost. Use the BTC value at the time of reporting.
- It's OK to post a rating about the person in general, not tied to a specific trade.
- If you want to make a rating stronger, increase "Risked BTC". 50 extra risked BTC is equivalent to an additional rating.

If your trust list is totally empty, you trust "DefaultTrust", which includes some trustworthy people that I'll select. But if you add anyone to your trust list, even if they don't trust anyone, DefaultTrust will no longer be considered part of your trust list.
