Sure - looks like a 5 point scale
Trust weight (t) Semantic Human-meaningful label
----------------------------------------------------------
t == 0 no trust New person
0 < t < 0.25 low trust Acquaintance
0.25 >= t < 0.75 medium trust Friend
0.75 >= t < 1.0 high trust Peer
t == 1 complete trust Partner
I like the 5 stars rating - well know system online and maps to the 1-5 likert scale.
Starting to play with decentralized trust ranking in Spring v0.12.
You can estimate, adjust and publish trust scores for other users - these are estimated from your recent interactions.

nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 has been advocating the TrustNet as a web of trust implementation, useful for spam filtering etc.
The algorithm has two steps - first, each user publishes 'trust assignments' - that's trust scores your can now publish with Spring. These are published as 10629 replaceable events with a list of 'p' tags and a score, typical size will probably be ~100 pubkeys. We provide an estimate based on past interactions, but it can't be precise - you may and should adjust it to match your actual relationships.
The second step is that apps can download trust assignments of users close to your network (contacts, people you like/zap a lot etc) and run a calculation akin to PageRank, but it's not global - it's local to your network. The result will be several thousand pubkeys with non-zero trust ranks - a much wider network of users who could be trusted.
This way the trust ranking is a) based on everyone's actual relationships, because you can adjust the trust scores you're publishing, and b) efficient and can be used by any app - it just needs to download several hundred trust score lists and run the trustnet algo periodically and store results in local cache.
Spring only does step one at the moment. When enough people publish their trust assignments we will add the second step and let you calculate your own trust ranks. Spring will show the trust ranks under profiles, and will use it for spam filtering later. Other apps will probably find other uses for it.

Nice. Will add 10629 events to Nostraco.in next week - are there many published rankings yet?
https://nostraco.in - now contains all #Farcaster posts as well as #Nostr posts
Top posts are here https://nostraco.in/top - Nostr has a greater quantity of posts, but Farcaster has a higher quality, with more in the top
Each user has a Membrain score, our guess at whether the user is a bot/spam - DWR is 5/5 - not a bot! - https://nostraco.in/m/dwr.eth
Communities are arranged around hashtags. There are reputation graphs to get a sense of the top followers of other users. You can see the latest, the hot, the top and the old posts of any user, or hashtag. Notifications of new events are available. Filter notifications and posts by Membrain scores of users. Lots more features too!
I mean nostraco.in will read the event and tag data and make it available on a map. If I like the spec, might also create events with the same format.
Great, there are a few different specs for geohashing - which one are you using? Sure, the event data would be helpful but I'm not planning to create a NIP for it.
Yes, I think Event type 1 is the best place for it. A nip would be helpful to describe the format for location you're using - geohash flavor or lat/lon
Let me know the nip/event type, I'll add support for it.
Too damn high!
Hey, I just sent you a tip of 100 Nostracoin.
Nostracoin can be used to record your nostr events in the blockchain.
You might want to do that because
1. It is censorship resistant
2. Timestamps your note
3. Never drops your note
You can check your balance or view Nostr at https://nostraco.in
I'll look into it. I think it's probably because we ignore events over a certain size and a follow list with 1354 entries creates a very large event.
I see! A few remedies for you - the (more->unsub) button on the #wifematerial page will unsubscribe you. Alternative, there is only one poster there, so you could just mute that poster and that will clean up your feed.
I notice you're not following anyone right now, is that correct, or did we miss your following list?
Yes, they are different but all of a communities content should be available under the matching hashtag.
Ok, you can read communities BTW, just they're called topics or tags, eg
Which communities are you in most?
Is Nostraco.in slow for you?
Yes, users can use the same nsec/npub to create Nostr events and Nostracoin transactions.
It's very early and I'm still working on it, so not a lot of detail or docs yet. No block explorer yet.
There's 100m supply which I plan to distribute to users and developers of nostr, 10% founders reward, 2% tail emission to miners, 10% APR on balances per year. 50% trx fee burn. RandomX POW.
