Bitcoin Forum

Can you guys tell me as to how I can attain positive trust for a Bitcoin account. At the moment I am neutral.
Is there any way to get rid of negative trust?
And can you have both positive and negative trust?

:)

EDIT: Thanks guys. I am more familiar with trust on this forum.

1. Forum's trust system is not moderated.
2. You will retain your neutral trust unless some user from default trust list will give you positive feedback.
3. So Only Default Trust users will make your trust rating 'go red' or green.
4. Only way to get rid of negative trust is to mediate with the person who left it.
5. You can have something in between, black trust numbers with orange accent, it appears if you receive both positive and negative trust rating from default trust users.

Who is part of the default group and how do you get them to give you positive trust? What do you have to do?

And is it possible for me to get on the default list? Thx.

Here's the DT list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust

In order to get positive trust from somebody on this list, you should always behave well, be honest, be constructive. Sooner or later, a positive trade with somebody from DT will get you in the green, or maybe if you are very constructive, they'll give you a positive feedback for being constructive.

To get on DT, somebody who is already on DT has to put you in his/her trustlist.

In reality, a lot of people got some positive feedback from a DT member, it's not that hard if you're active, honest and contructive. To get on DT, you have to be handpicked and truly trusted by some of the members on DT, this is something that's really hard to achieve

All in all, you shouldn't really worry about your trust-status. It should be something that has grown organic.

you dont get a positive trust but you earn a positive trust. to earn a positive trust, you have to work very hard-
1. you should help others in their problems by giving effective solutions.
2. do more and more successfull trades with members.
3. dont try to cheat anyone.
4. the most important thing- dont beg for a positive trust. if you do so, then you could instead get a negative trust.

the only way to get rid of a negative trust is to contact the person who negged you.
yes.

I don't understand the information on that site. Is that my trust list? It said that I could add people onto the list. I am really confused now. ??? Pls explain more. Thx

From what I know it is possible for anyone to become default trust member. But you need to work for it. You need to be nominated by existing default trust users.
You need to be long known and valuable member of the community, you can do it by either help people and forum: by reporting posts, scams, abuses, be technical guru, has other valuable skills you can share.


Trust has levels. The lower the number the higher the status. The best is Default Trust level 1 - you have there admin, moderators,  ancient members.
If they gave their positive rating to someone else - then these people become default trust users level 2, and so forth.

There is a default trustlist. People that haven't added/removed/edited the default trustlist are all using the same list to decide who is trustworthy and who is not. However, the list IS customizable on an individual basis. If you customized your list, you'll see red/green trust for different members than the people who use the default trustlist.

The default trustlist:
Theymos is branch 0. He added the people in depth 1 to his trustlist (for example HostFat).
The people that are in depth 2 were added to the trustlist of the members that were in depth 1.
The people that are in depth 3 were added to the trustlist of the members that were in depth 2.

Since it's your trustlist, you are also in branch 0 of your own trustlist. You could potentially add or remove people from the default trustlist to customize your own list. If you add somebody, he is added to depth 1 of your own trustlist. The people that are in the trustlist of the person you added are added to your customized depth 2.

 you are absolutely wrong. if dt level 1 members give positive rating to someone then it will obviously not make that person a DT level 2 member. for becoming a dt 2 member, the dt 1 member should add the person to his  trust list (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust).

Technical Theymos are in depth 1, branch 0 only "DefaultTrust" user, of course under Theymos control.

Not sure why people are so bothered about having green trust. As long as you don't scam or do anything bad you should be happy to just be on 0: -0 / +0

If you're not actively trading, buying & selling stuff on here you don't need a load of green.

Yes that so true the only way to get rid of negative trust is to mediate with the person who left it and you can also earn it either.

The trust score you see depends on who are in your trust list. You can have your own trust list and that is better than going with the default. Default Trust is just the default trust list.



Yep. I wish everyone realized that. With so much buying and selling (and hacking?) going on, the green trust doesn't really have any value.

don't trust anyone with or without trust
do not trade or sell stuff without escrow
check that scam accusations thread- you can find many a topic with green trust users ,heroes and legendary alike  who got hacked or sold their accounts
being accused of scamming others
so just behave,post useful info,help others and your trust rating will go up eventually (maybe)

You can get positive feedback from some one who can give you if you have a good user. Example you trade to them properly and fairly. You lend to the company and make a payment. You have quality and constructive post maybe you can get positive from this also. But it is ok if you dont have positive feedback but dont have also a negative feedback.
