It is an interesting metric, but there are a lot of reasons why you can't necessarily draw conclusions from this alone. For example, each person's marketplace presence. Phillipma has a pretty large presence in the computer hardware section (if I'm not mistaken, I'm not looking up post history now, just recalling this from memory), Ognasty and Blazed in the Collectibles sections, myself in the Goods/Collectibles sections, and the others not as much.

I'd love to be active in the domain name sales section. Unfortunately there isn't one, and digital goods is full of stuff that gets bumped but doesn't appear to sell.

The sale of vitual assets, and the acceptance of Bitcoin in settlement, is one area where trust could be really helpful.

How does one become DT1? I always assumed they were hand-picked by theymos, which would put him at 100% by definition (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just stating the obvious here).

I've noticed before that many of the dark green trusted people are very active trading physical items, and earned most of their trust in those sections. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is something that can quite easily be farmed: buy some items from the right people now, and a year later you're at +80 or more!
I've also seen people receive green trust for participating in an escrow deal. The whole reason to use escrow is because they aren't trusted in the first place, so they shouldn't become more trusted after the deal.

Theymos is in charge of adding people to DT1.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is something that can quite easily be farmed: buy some items from the right people now, and a year later you're at +80 or more!

People obviously do just do trades with the right people to get trusted feedback. The easiest to abuse though are people selling digital goods for fairly cheap and that is what was happening with TheButterZone's emails he was selling. The vast majority - if not all - the people who purchased them had likely just worked out they could buy a cheap 'green feedback' from him. Buying physical goods is much more expensive and you have to give out personal information that exposes you which is something I wouldn't want to do here for obvious reasons.

That isn't completely true. I can transfer a domain name to you without any information at all other than your registrar account name. This is true even if the name is worth several thosands of pounds ( or dollars ). It's called a registrar push, and I can order it through my registration panel just by entering your account name. I don't need any other details. I've got two stage verification, and locking on my names to prevent theft, but that is related to my account, and is not related to the gaining account.

Based on checking his feedback, he hasn't sold any email forwarding since he was removed from DT2. That confirms your theory as of why people bought it.

I wouldn't call a domain naim a physical good. Those are things you can touch after they arrive at your real shipping address.

A domain isn't a physical good. I expect that hilarious is referring more to places like the 'Collectibles' subforum, where actual physical items are bought and sold.

It's likely a similar story to what happened with bigtimespaghetti and his coin making guide.

My apologies to Hilarious and the forum. Of course a domain name isn't a physical item. That will teach me to post whilst I am listening to YouTube.

I was listening to a report on the death of the last male white rhino, and I got fairly stressed over it.

How can you say that TBZ hasn't sold any emails forwarding service since he was removed?

There are plenty of newbis that buy goods in the physical and don't get any trust

My assumption was based on TBZ leaving trust after a deal, but you're right, it's non-conclusive.

OP, you might be on to something but this needs work.

Making philipma1957 look like an example of some sort of abuse is quite ridiculous I think. He trades a lot, many here know his real name and address, AFAIK he even does re-shipping escrow. Basically what you're saying is that he should not deal with people in his trust list, or discourage them from posting positive trust for him, or not add people he's dealt with to his list just because of that. I don't see how that would improve the DT, quite the contrary I think. Phil's personal score is largely irrelevant anyway.

Do we know the date of when someone gets added to a trust list? I guess those who download trust dumps regularly could figure this out. Maybe that needs to be accounted for.

Buying physical goods is much more expensive and you have to give out personal information that exposes you which is something I wouldn't want to do here for obvious reasons.
Plenty of people who deal in physical goods use either a PO box or a drop shipping address, both of which are used in the regular course of business by many and it is generally trivial to obtain either of these without disclosing you identity.

Some people in the collectibles section also often have coins shipped to a third party, sometimes with the intent of the third party forewarding the coin to them, other times it appears they are making a proxy and/or straw purchase. Often times it is unclear that both physical transfer ownership transfer occurs in sales. I have also occasionally seen coins won in an auction only to have the buyer pay for the coin, have the seller not ship the coin and immediately list the coin for sale as being shipped from the original seller.

Theymos should probably consider tweaking the algorithm slightly. 'Micro-transactions' or deals of small amounts probably shouldn't count for much if anything at all and certainly shouldn't be giving people a +1 or 'green' feedack because it just leads to users seeking out doing certain deals as cheaply as possible purely for the feedback. As for escrow deals, maybe neutral feedback would be more appropriate.

OP, you might be on to something but this needs work.

Making philipma1957 look like an example of some sort of abuse is quite ridiculous I think.

I haven't looked into who he's added and for what, but people shouldn't really be added to DT just for doing one or two trades with them. People who have done this in the past have been removed from DT and rightly so. I think the feedbacks that person has left for others should carry just as much weight as the deals they have done with that person. If a person has only really left a few feedbacks then they're largely useless in the grand scheme of the network.

I have also occasionally seen coins won in an auction only to have the buyer pay for the coin, have the seller not ship the coin and immediately list the coin for sale as being shipped from the original seller.

PO boxes are usually very expensive (or at least they are here) and you need several forms of ID to prevent people using them for shenanigans. It wouldn't really be worth it just for the casual user, but if I had to buy something from here though I certainly wouldn't get it shipped straight to me.

Or even free "transactions". I've got some positives on another forum for giving domain names to other members without charge. They were names that I was going to let drop, so they were of no value to me anyway, but they have given me a positive rating. In this case the rating is really a bit meaningless.

I love this forum  and frankly  I don"t care about the trust rating I have.

As far as I am concerned I have pruned that list over and over and over and over again.

and I will prune it again. Today  right now

As for the newbie that started the thread  why don't  you come out from the shadows and let us know  whom  or who you are?






I have many  trusts I left out  look here:

over 70  to count them


Code:
Untrusted feedback

These ratings are from people who are not in your trust network. They may be totally inaccurate.


User Date Risked BTC amount Reference Comments

bill gator 2018-02-18 0.06600000 Reference Acted very cool when it took me a bit to get payment in order and then went out of their way to accommodate me in multiple ways. Highly recommend, didn't even think to use escrow for over $700.

Caveman-Vegas 2018-02-13 0.22000000 Reference Another great escrow with Phil. Quick responses, very easy to work with. I highly recommend his services.

Caveman-Vegas 2018-02-09 20.00000000 Philip was the escrow for a transaction I did— I was the buyer. Everything went flawlessly.

Thank you!

BenRickert 2018-01-25 1.50000000 I purchased an Antminer S9 from Philipma1957 directly. I've had previous experiences dealing with him that gave me confidence to trust him. I sent him the LTC payment prior to the miner arriving at his residence, knowing it was arriving 2-3 hours later. It did, and Philip immediately took it to the UPS location and shipped it in a double box, unopened from the original
Bitmain packaging. It arrived on schedule and is hashing away as I type. Philipma is 100% trustworthy and always goes the extra mile.
akamit 2018-01-22 0.00000000 Reference: Positive Rating Below My One.

I haven't looked into who he's added and for what, but people shouldn't really be added to DT just for doing one or two trades with them. People who have done this in the past have been removed from DT and rightly so. I think the feedbacks that person has left for others should carry just as much weight as the deals they have done with that person. If a person has only really left a few feedbacks then they're largely useless in the grand scheme of the network.

That's exactly what the OP's numbers don't account for. Perhaps some sort of deeper analysis of downlevel trust feedback would help, e.g. how active the "subordinates" are. In any case, I disagree with the OP framing this as "manipulation" unless it can be proven that the DT1 member did it for reasons inconsistent with the purpose of the DT (murky, I know).

This is somewhat related, but I personally feel that Feedback should be given without any second thought to the potential green numbers for any trade, as long as long as its accurate. If someone wanted to do a 0.001 BTC trade with me, where the funds are escrowed, I wouldn't hesitate to leave them accurate feedback saying they did the trade with me, I risked 0 BTC because the funds were escrowed, and how the deal went. The whole concept of farming feedback seems flawed to me, because green numbers shouldn't mean anything by themselves. Its the quality and contents of the feedback itself.

Because this is an issue in the first place, I'd love to see an option to leave people feedback without it being included in feedback score calculation. I'd far prefer an Ebay type feedback system, where before you buy something from someone, you quickly check their negatives to see if they ship things that "don't arrive", or arrive broken, etc. The issue of retaliatory feedback could also be addressed by having a comment section where a person could respond to their own feedback.

But people do put a lot of weight on it. Feedback = trustability to a lot of people (though it obviously shouldn't). I've seen people offering their services here and calling themselves a 'trusted user' just because they did a few deals with the right people. It's like a badge of honour to a lot of people and I suppose it gives them the edge over someone who has zero feedback so that's why it's worth something. Some campaigns have even started offering higher payments if you've got it which is ludicrous and just encourages more abuse.

You can leave them neutral. An ebay-like system is far from perfect as well and wouldn't really work on here for numerous reasons.

It's like a badge of honour to a lot of people and I suppose it gives them the edge over someone who has zero feedback so that's why it's worth something. Some campaigns have even started offering higher payments if you've got it which is ludicrous and just encourages more abuse. 

I feel that is their problem more than anyone else's. Feedback should be taken exactly for what it is, not some algorithm created green numbers. If someone has 100 positive feedback for 0.001 BTC trades, that wouldn't mean I'd trust them with 1 BTC even if their score is higher than someone I would trust with 1 BTC. If someone does a trade, I believe they deserve accurate feedback for it. I really don't like the green/red numbers. They are a cop out for people who don't feel they need to read a person's feedback and judge its validity for themselves. I've added a few people to my trust list in the past that asked me to remove them because they didn't want to have to change any of their feedback habits because of cases like this, and I really think its a shame. I added them specifically for their feedback habits, and those are exactly the type of people that I think needed to be on DT.


You can leave them neutral. An ebay-like system is far from perfect as well and wouldn't really work on here for numerous reasons.

Neutral kind of has its own connotation to it. Of course I read someone's neutral trust before I judge what it means, but that split second before I start reading and I see that font, I think that its someone on DT that wanted to give a negative for something, but because of their position decided against it. I find its more useful for comments about a person, their behavior, or just general notes that you think someone should see before they trade with that person. It doesn't feel right to give someone a neutral when you've done a successful trade with them.

As far as the Ebay like feedback system is concerned, I meant in format, not with the backing of a paid central company monitoring it. You leave someone feedback, and its saved on a page that can be brought up and filtered if someone would like to search through it, and a field where the person can respond on their own profile to claims against them.
