Yo, suddenly my trust score had a little boost. Check your scores for @AQSTR tasks, still not clear how it is measured, but let's hope it does get explained soon.

Coño mano, mis zaps también están estancados, no suben. Te zapeo a mano 😂
A grosso modo, intenta dar una calificación al revisar la cadena para llegar de un usuario a otro según la cantidad de saltos usando a tus contactos y los contactos de tus contactos (por lo general lo usan así), analiza todas las cadenas y da una puntuación, mientras menos saltos y más cadenas es más confiable el usuario… el valor límite para definir confiable lo define el dev además de las variaciones en el cálculo para llegar al valor, más menos es así como funciona
Aún no entiendo bien como funciona. También espero poder saberlo pronto. Pero debe estar relacionado con la actividad en Nostr
Perhaps... As an engineer, I'd like to know the formula, where that number comes from, to know which screw I need to tighten and not just "do the maintenance" 😊
So, Vertex uses pagerank which is a probability, which implies it's a number between 0 and 1. Pagerank is distributed as a power law, which means that between an average pagerank and a high pagerank there are 4 or more order of magnitude difference. Jack dorsey has 1000-10000x the pagerank of a normal person. Power laws are hard to comprehend for the human mind, which is why Profilestr tried different formulas to normalize this score to be between 0 to 100, in ways that make sense. These formulas were not great, so I suggested they use something like this. It's poorly written but I don't have much time to work out the details. TLDR; Vertex didn't change anything, the ranks are computed as before, they are simply presented differently to the end users. This whole conversation is making me more adamant in my belief that ranks should not be displayed to end users.
It's hard to understand indeed. People were asking this because Trust Score some weeks ago was high for almost all users and suddenly it dropped hard, I even read that some people had 0, which raised alarms and people wanted an explanation. I didn't understand the maths, but I appreciate the transparency in this matter.
These kinds of scores create wrong incentives, it reminds me of how it was done with a service called Klout in the early web 2.0 days. People will do strange things to get better scores, but it’s pointless as every score should be contextual. It should be clear that these scores have nothing to do with reach either (as many assume it is).
I read it and I am more confused. My name, display name and nip05 all start with "pip", so I should reach 2 points. My WoT is definitely higher then the other Pip, yet he has the name
your kind 0 metadata shows as this, and I just re-ran it against your listed relays "profile": { "name": "pippellia", "nip05": null, "lud16": "whitebat1", partial match only applies to the name field, and demarcated by spaces... we wouldn't want "pip" to also occupy "pi" for example... but would want someones first name to hit if they used name as First Last Partial matches do not count in the lud16/nip05's prefixes since those wouldn't have spaces... but neither your nip05 or lud16 are populated with "pip" Since your name field is "pippellia" that's what you occupy image
it's even mentioned in NIP-01 but nobody seems to consider it a mandatory feature for NIP-01 compliance. IMO, it SHOULD be an OPTIONAL one and there should be a feature flag to signal it.
I agree it should be optional, but I don't like the flag thing because I might want to offer a paid service (like primal), so I store older versions only for my paying customers. So a flag per relay doesn't make sense in this and many other case. It should just be optional.
er, what i mean is, i don't think it should be optional. can we trust nostr clients more now than before everyone started vibe coding? no, it should be MUST not SHOULD. or you are not NIP-01 compliant and that should be avoided.
in fact, to spite these people not providing this, i could make a little app that lets you log in and it tells you which of your relays are clown operated garbage.
what i think should be optional, is how many are kept. for most users 10 would be plenty to back them right up.
