Hi

I had +11 green trust a day before and now its only +6. I saw in my profile and people who used to be under "trusted feedback" are now under untrusted! Huh Why?
It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Hi

I had +11 green trust a day before and now its only +4. I saw in my profile and people who used to be under "trusted feedback" are now under untrusted! Huh Why?

It seems someone (or several people) on level one decided to clean their lists and remove some users from level 2, so they're not trusted anymore. It's up to them to decide who they include in their lists.

Those who gave you trust had their trust score lowered or trust removed. You have done nothing wrong but you are affected by the "clean up".  Cheesy

The trust system is so open to abuse that it isn't a reliable metric anyway. Many people were burned by users with high trust ratings. Look at PB mining as an example.

And the lowering definitely would seem like a big impact depending on your people who rated.  Some have insane ratings that can make or break your trust rating.

No. That's not how the trust system works. It doesn't matter the total rating of the people who leave feedback in your profile. What matters is how many positive and negative trusted ratings you have in your profile and how old those ratings are. What changed today is that several people stopped being trusted by default so their feedback stopped affecting other people's trust (OP included).
And people stopped being trusted by default because the users on level 1 who added them to their list (and therefore made them trusted by default) removed them from there. Every person who is trusted by default affects your trust exactly the same way. It doesn't matter how many trust points they have.

Looking through your feedbacks, I see cooldgamer is in untrusted feedback. He was removed from th etrust list by whoever trusted him earlier resulting his feedback becoming untrusted in default list.

Sometimes the people who got the trust, has a recent negative rep mark, which can change your overall rep.

Esp, if its based on only that rep you have. It wont matter though, if you do enough transactions with more repp people.

The first thing any newbie should do is remove "DefaultTrust" from their trust list. Why it is in there in the first place is a matter of speculation, but the fact is, a good portion of the people in "DefaultTrust" can't be trusted nor should you trust them, since you don't know them.

Remove everyone from your trust list and start building your own trust list of people you actually trust. Don't trust the site op and moderators, they are not here to help you or protect you from scammers or anything like that... that is your job. Don't blindly trust, remove DefaultTrust

The second thing such a newbie will do is get scammed.   Undecided

Looking through your feedbacks, I see cooldgamer is in untrusted feedback. He was removed from th etrust list by whoever trusted him earlier resulting his feedback becoming untrusted in default list.
I am not sure whose trust list cooldgamer was on, however I know that escrow.ms cleaned up his trust list today - I know that devthedev and cronicsky were both removed from his list today (possibly among others).

Now how exactly is a newbie suppose to know who he can and cannot trust to give proper trust ratings? I think it is safe to say that you are giving very bad advice

You are still green, so there is nothing to complain. Some others shave fared much worse.

wow. He went from having dark green trust to having negative trust in only one day. I wonder if bit-x is going to want to use a new escrow because of this new development.

Here is what I see:
Trust:   12: -0 / +8(Cool
The trust is quite complicated here, hopefully it will be changed in the new forum. A lot of people have seen changes happening. I guess it was spring cleaning for the trust system.


A bit off topic, but it's better than to start a new thread: Does anyone know why Stunna was removed from default trust? I've seen that 'This user's password was reset recently.' on the profile.

I can see that you have only "1" green trust from escrow.ms. I don't know why everyone can see a different trust rating of a user. Lately I have noticed even other trusted users' trust rating has changed due to deletion of few members from the default trust.

Here (with only the DefautlTrust 'user' in my personal trust list):

   

I have seen few users have been removed (as someone said : cooldgamer, bitpop, chronicsky, etc... all those users in one day).

Hi

I had +11 green trust a day before and now its only +6. I saw in my profile and people who used to be under "trusted feedback" are now under untrusted! Huh Why?

I was also in default trust list from escrow.ms, he removed me because I did not sent him 33+ BTC first.  I want to deal face to face but he want urgent and want me to send him instantly and he will pay me money next day. I told him find other seller. So he removed me from his trust list.

I have no issue because having in default trust list is not an additional advantage.

do you have any PM/chat logs to support this? I don't think someone neglecting to take precautions when trading is an appropriate reason to remove someone from their trust list.
