I see you 68.

Where do I see this? I'm on amethyst

I see you at 70.

is that like a “C” grade ?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s out of 10,000 so you’re a pleb degen 🤷‍♂️

👀

That's fine. Be your own number generator if you'd prefer that.

Same, it seems very Black Mirror.

💯

Silence! Single digits not allowed to reply.

But if it's your own number ..

Yeah I hate applying anything quantitative to a person.

Some people think bitcoin is evil because “money is the root of all evil.” But to them, money means fiat. They don’t realize that the evils of fiat should not be assumed to apply to decentralized money. Same thing with reputation. Centralized scoring systems are very Black Mirror. But decentralized scoring systems, where scores are personalized rather than global, belong in a different category.

Bitcoin was launched by a means for someone to stay relevant after the hype of social media. It's coming off as a cult culture and will eventually fade to nothing more than Scientology or heavy religious type of control. It will never be mainstream.

The draining of purchasing power is the root of all evil.

Fiat is the devil 👿

Fiat is seed oils Btc is beef tallow

Decentralized solutions are scary and counterintuitive because they have opposite effects from their fiat counterparts which have been engrained in most peoples' minds as natural law.

It is not money that is evil. The love of it. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.”

They also have the quote wrong. It's "The love of money is the root of all evil"

I agree ☝️

I feel like people are just superstitious about this. Philip Sheldrake on the other hand has thought through the issue of digital identity

It's not.

web of access (WOA)

"Interesting perspective! It’s great to see discussions about balancing new user visibility with community safety. Finding that sweet spot is key! 🌟 How do you think we can encourage healthy interactions while keeping the platform welcoming? 🤔"

I think it is really important to find a way, to check the introductions and asknostr tag from time to time. And when someone sees new users reference them in a note or to quote their notes. I also would not expect from new users to set a pow. So I really think that the proposal vrom @Vitor Pamplona is one of the best balance. To only filter users, that got reported more often by you and your follows than whatever treshhold one sets.

A sad day for nostr…freedom tech they said

What don't you understand about web of trust?

You have the freedom to use it however you want. It's fucking cool.

I usually use primal. I'm trying to see this WoT thing. I don't see any scores in my amethyst app (Android). Where should I be looking or is there a wiki or something? Interface seems ok, if a bit busy.

Okay.

"45; suspected vibe coder" (kidding; I'm using today's / latest Amethyst but not seeing these numbers)

I'm not sure where to look for the WoT score

I think you have to subscribe to a provider.

67

Interesting. It's quite low, but I expected it to be even lower.

Other people could see you much higher. It's not a centralized score.

I know, but I was curious as to what you see, specifically.

Your score will be different for each user. It all depends on which algo they choose.

What do you see?

69 😅

At least, it's a funny number. 😂

Is there a way to use this score in reverse? To find anyone who causes someone else to have a low score?

Sure! It's your algo anyway :)

I can't even figure @Amethyst needs a how to section embedded in the app

Well, the providers are currently all down, so I guess it doesn't work.

There's a wide range of criteria. Whatever you want. Zaps, comments, follows, mutes, literally anything and everything that you want and it can be based on you and your context. It's what you want.

End user sets what their expectations are of a trust worthy user and then the score is compiled?

Essentially. We have our own metrics and weights. What is good for me isn't necessarily good for you.

Gotcha - I was going to try and vibe a trade services app on top of Nostr for fun and was thinking about how the end user could rank a user as trustworthy straight off the start line.

what?? No dupplicated connection?

That's about right, Mike. I see you as 82. Wild 😜

Is 82 my ranking or my age? 😂

😂👀
