Title: Is DefaultTrust algorithm working as expected?
Post by: Bill Gates on March 30, 2016, 02:11:06 PM
I just found that dooglus has included Vod in his trust list, while HostFat has excluded him. So, the net effect on Vod from DT depth 1 is 0. Hence, Vod should not show trusted by default. But, his feedback is still showing under Trusted feedback. Is it malfunctioning of DefaultTrust algorithm?

Yes, exclusions must be greater than inclusions.

search, and you'll find it (most of the time).

If a person's trust score (from inclusions and exclusions) is greater than or equal to 0 they are still on the Default Trust network. It is only once said score turns negative that they are no longer trusted by default.

You need 2 exclusions to void 1 inclusion, hence, it is working as it should.

Only in the case where there is one inclusion. 3 exclusions void 2 inclusions with 3 < 2*2
