@jaz Things seem to be going quite well so far which is encouraging!

I've been thinking about the verification/trust issues inherent to distributed platforms like this and I wonder if we could develop some sort of community ranking system (like Google's page rank for websites).

Example: I could up vote or down vote you and depending how many people have up/down voted me that action has more or less weight.

It's a very complicated problem to solve, but would allow for crowd-sourced "trust".

@kent are you suggesting trust/reputation for servers, or people?

@kent you know, that was a snarky reply and I'll leave it up to teach myself a lesson.

My reaction was to the notion that we can devolve a personal human judgement to the crowd, or the machine learning, or the algorithm, or a billionaire.

Who you trust is on you. Who you trust to tell you who you trust is also in you. This network specifically removes stats from easy view. It's on you to read, consume, confer, decide.

And yes, "whom". I know.
