Title: Exact calculation of Trust Score
Post by: Zeroxal on January 26, 2016, 08:39:33 PM
Is there an official calculation for the trust score?
I asked this question once, the answer I got was: You get +1 every month for every trusted feedback.

When looking at my trust, that cannot be true. I got a feedback on the 20th of November 2015, today is the 26th of January 2016 and my score is still 2.
While other users get +1 score only days after they received the feedback.

I've heard something about the risked amount having a big role in the calculation too. Not sure though.

May anyone help me?

That is quite vague, theymos hasn't specified it. Most likely any answer about it , except from mods/admins will be speculation. Some speculations I have are
1) Your rating increases faster on the first month
2) The ratings are increased on one specific time , same as activity update
3) There are date limits on when the trust rating increases, i.e say if you get a feedback on 5th and the "limits" are 0 and 15 , the date closest to the date the feedback was received would increase the rating by one. Another example is if you get a feedback on 10, you will gain a rating increase on 15th.

That was changed, amount AFAIK doesn't affect rating anymore

if you got the trust on 20th November then shouldn't it be 2 now? Nov = 0, Dec = 1, Jan = 2.

While other users get +1 score only days after they received the feedback.

which users?

huh. then it could be because of a things that you suggested above. I actually thought that it was fixed at 20th/21st because this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.0) and this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1066857.0) was posted on those dates.

My score was 2 since early December and hasn't changed yet. No idea how the system works...
