The main purpose of this filter is to weed out spam accounts. Since there are a lot of spam users on the Nostr network, normal users usually end up in the top 10%. But this isn’t fixed, so the choice is left to the user. To avoid filtering out too many legitimate users, I’ve set the default threshold at 40%.

I'm interested to understand how user's reputation is derived. I don't want to eat your time, so if you have explained it before or have a link that would be very much appreciated.

Pensei a mesma coisa quando vi o recurso.

Everything within the Universe and even it's border with Eternity are governed by boundaries. These boundaries are the descriptions of complete absence of Zero upto the Unity of One. Bitcoin is a mirror of the Universe and it's boundary structures. Percentages are expressions of complete Absence 0% upto complete Unity of 100% As such, it's very important to ensure that people can cross the boundary of 0%, or just above and avoid being ignored and or invisible. This is just like the first time someone joins the Bitcoin network, they cross the boundary of Zero Bitcoin into Being (Being in custody of Bitcoin). Like an animal being born, without fear and or favour and or permission. Bitcoin allows all equal access, without any qualification/caveat. Humans are not good at feeling and knowing the extremes. The extremes at Zero and or the extremes of the exponential. That's where most get lost as the mind doesn't easily go there. Something is either full open or it is not, this is Zero Boundary Logic and it takes some thought to see it, and more importantly recognise it, in all it's forms. There is no easy answer, as if there was, then it's also easy to game. I'm not criticising, I'm observing and setting out my observations. That’s the impossible that Bitcoin got right.
