WoT doesn't work.

Yes it does it's just not 100% perfect

How do you trust something that isn't working as intended?

If I see those people following imposters I literally private message them and tell them

The ones who follow that account they well deserve being scammed. It’s natural selection

He’s followed by 178 pubkeys in my extended follows network but muted by 149 😂

3 hops away from me by follows.

His personalized GrapeRank score is zero because of the mutes.

Personalized PageRank score is way too high than it ought to be, but that’s because pPR does not accomodate mutes.

GrapeRank ftw 🍇 🔥

Is there a website where we can view our own score?

You can go to grapevine-brainstorm.vercel.app and calculate your personalized scores, which means all scores are from your perspective. If you want to see your score from a different pubkey’s perspective, in theory that could be done but my site doesn’t currently do that.

Right now I’m working on a personalized WoT relay that will use these methods to determine your WoT, which means you won’t need a service to do it for you.

My progress so far:

✅ strfry and neo4j on single server

✅ bash script to load events from strfry to neo4j

✅ strfry plugin whitelist and blacklist

✅ personalized PageRank and GrapeRank calculations, both with the assistance of neo4j

✅ bash script to query neo4j and export json files of pubkeys which can be read by strfry plugin and used as whitelists and blacklists

Current hurdles:

- automate the transfer of data from strfry to neo4j to handle streaming data

Once I put together all the above puzzle pieces, my plan will be to write a document so anyone can set up their own personalized WoT relay.

And if all goes well, maybe the above features will make their way into nostr:npub1fvmadl0mch39c3hlr9jaewh7uwyul2mlf2hsmkafhgcs3dra6dzqg6szfu ! 😃

So sad, there's nowhere to input my npub to check my score.

We have all grown accustomed to the idea of global reputation scores. But I think we will see — are already seeing in nostr — a change in focus and mindset from global to personalized WoT scores. Your npub doesn’t have a personalized WoT score until you specify the observer npub. You have to ask: what is your npub’s score, as calculated from some other npub’s perspective.

Ultimately, the access to sophisticated, contextual, provable, personalized WoT scores is going to unlock value in ways that we’ve never experienced or perhaps even imagined.

🤦‍♀️

I have that one blocked. Do I win something?

It’s now 232 followers lol

I feel special... I had that one blocked.

We should all follow the scammer account to break your WOT so it motivates you to go back to the drawing board because once nostr has billions of users you won't be able to keep up.

Yes I works and is better then the non-WOT relays but it still has issues.

I thought we all learned from Bitcoin that trust doesn't work.

Here's an idea. Build a relay where every transaction requires a Satoshi micro-transaction. Example, reply, follow, unfollow, dm, The money could be split between the relay and client and npub.

In my idea it will cost spammers and scammers too much to mess around so it will dramatically lower scams and spams.

Im mikel sailor. Follow me.

The real Michael Saylor is the real scam.

make kind 3 irrelevant

I agree: Saylor is a scammer.

should people that follow known scam account just have a much lower weight on your WOT?

In a perfect world

the algorithm right now is basically: "follow = trust" correct?
