You are 100 😅 David, you can't just hardcode 100 to your profile just because you run the service!! 😅

Oh yes I can! 😂

🫠

This is how we use another service provider 🤓

With no premined WOT.. 😂🤣💜🫂

This is your motivation to run your own Brainstorm instance! (Which we’re in the process of rebuilding - and making good progress!)

Awesome! I look forward to testing that out!

Founders get 40% of all the Trust Tokenz ™️ 🤪😂

I will argue it is honest; you 100% trust the operator of the service inherrently anyway. Not only CAN he give himself 1la 100 score, anything else would be silly to begin with

It does make sense

Anything else and you’d have to question my judgment

😂

lmao the accuracy 😂

It's only gay if you cross streams.

"Sorry ladies, we're busy doing a live stream."

I trust myself more than the operator. If I understand it correctly only the person from who's perspective the grapevine is calculated will score 100, not the operator of the calculation service.

Even if your understanding of how it is supposed to work is correct, you still trust the fact that that is actually how it works. I.e. you already trust the operator a priory the calculation.

That’s correct: if we’re calculating the Grapevine from your perspective, then your 🍇-influence score is pegged at 1 (which shows up as 100 when we convert it to rank and show it on most clients). All other users are unpegged.

Yup, a dishonest operator could def do some shenanigans. Which is why it’s so important that Brainstorm is open source so you can run it yourself! Ideally that’s exactly what everyone would do. Maybe eventually that’s exactly what will happen. But we realize that realistically, that won’t happen, which is why we’re setting it up so a tech-savvy person can run a Brainstorm instance as operator, garner “customers” (or simply friends / family) and calculate scores on their behalf.

that's hilarious. but also this is a real bro right here. i think one of those dudes is really, really fucking hammered, and the other bro is a good bro and helping him piss so he doesn't accidentally piss all over the wall and/or anotheor person like someone did on their 21st birthday many, many years ago. we could all use a bro like this.
