Title: So, how *exactly* does the trust system work? Post by: Bono on December 29, 2013, 05:04:34 AM I figure this would best be put under the noob section.
I get that it is nothing but a record of a user's trades to be taken for what it is. It's not a magic barometer that means you won't lose your Bitcoins when dealing with this person. But what does it all mean? For example, on my profile I'm looking at this: 0: -0 / +2(0) What does each number mean? It looks like Total Trust: -negative deals \ +positive deals (mystery number) Furthermore, what does it take to make that sumbitch green and legitimize my presence as a trader? I'm guessing my account needs to be more than 2 weeks old, but I've completed a couple transactions with members here and it never gets any easier. Any and all details you can elucidate for me on the trust feature would be appreciated. Many thanks. Title: Re: So, how *exactly* does the trust system work?

:P Thanks Danny Title: Re: So, how *exactly* does the trust system work? Post by: DannyHamilton on December 29, 2013, 05:23:36 AM I've read most of the FAQ threads around here, missed that one.

I thought you got green when you had a positive trust from a trusted member of the site, but I see you have one and are not green.
