Trust System

[CarlosDanger]

I agree, using as a tool or as a guide sounds like a good idea
i know when i consider trusting anything i take many things into consideration, as do most people im sure   

[Wild0wnes]

All these things to learn....
My head is going to explode!   

So should i leave my trust settings to default trust and 2 for now?
I realize it doesn't really matter until someone wants to trust me but I want to be ready.
Perhaps theymos?
but i see he even trusts DefaultTrust.

i feel like setting to 0 is the only way i should start. am i crazy?   Did i completely miss the point of the trust thing?

  I'm still surprised that such an old-fashioned system(trust,thread,ip checks, 6mins cool-off periods, etc) exists + absence of social networks integrations(likes/follows) may scare some users... Sharm...

I think they will be just fine. Any half-wit internet used is used to systems like these; and if not,it's fast and easy to learn. Not every page in the universe has to have a damn like and twitter button, and you DO NOT have to share anything you do with every one of your friend's and faith acquaintances. It is just not necessary

Also, since this kind of is a financial site; would that make it less serious somehow... wait, what am I saying? I really have no idea

ON THE OTHER HAND
maybe if people linked their FB profiles, people could more easily see that the individuals are not spammers or other riff-raffle. But it would be pretty strict to require it - not everyone uses Faceboojk

those are my quick "stream of consciousness" thoughts on the matter

  Would the trust score be mainly for buying and selling in the Marketplace as like a feedback score ?

I'm still learning the trust system.

It's a way to see if others have conducted any scams on the forum. To read more about the Trust System, follow the link below.

It's a good idea, and something I'll be keeping an eye on. Trust is so important on a forum like this

[cityofgod]

I agree with this new system

[xkeyscore89]

A very innovative idea, indeed...I'm on board.

is there any weighting function on the trust system? like if i am trusted by a 3 highly trusted people or by 3 people that aren't trusted by anybody, do I have the same trust score either way?

The scores only show on the trust system when feedback is left by people in the your trust network.

This is why I'm done procrastinating joining bct, high level thinking that goes into something like the Trust System. I want btc to work for me and to be able to turn people on to it by helping to make work for them, and this gets my mind wrapped around it a little better.

It is very interesting to see how so many different people respond to the concept of a trust system.  I've spent years developing a trust reputation on e-bay and Amazon, so when I started using Bitcoin, I really appreciated the escrow system I found on Bitmit. 

I understand the need to develop these kinds of systems and relationships in a new market, and it will take time...  I just wish I had found out about Bitcoin sooner, so some of this would be behind me by now!!

Definitely don't trust Bitcoin casinos here because they have scammed me and not sent out my 10+ BTC owed.

Great that this has been added. I am not sure why specificall BTC attracts a lot of phising sites
