@weex well, you can probably peruse the resources of RWoT conferences and their website..
@humanetech Thank you, I did not see this yet. I find a lot of the conversation around WoT is based on GPG and verifying that they match real life people, rather then the more general case of reputation networks.
Perhaps this effort should re-orient toward the term reputation system since it's about that generic model.
@weex hmm, yes. Reputation systems are quite tricky, and often have unintended side effects.
PS. I have this book on them (in my backlog, ha ha): https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/building-web-reputation/9781449382193/
@humanetech That's why use in freenet is so interesting. Pseudonymity plus cheap account creation can open the door to sybil attacks but I suspect they've found a better way to filter out bad actors from poisoning the rep network.
