Now that people are starting to get green trust, in a week or two I will make it so people with 0 trust have yellow trust text instead of black.
If you don't want yellow/red trust, you need to get people to rate you positively now. It takes a month for your first positive rating to give you any trust.
Wait, what? At the least, I would expect a 0 trust rating to be neutral in value, not negative.
So now, in order to not be viewed with distrust I need to go around and beg folks to rate me? Should I set up arbitrary exchanges of coin so that I can gain positive ratings?
I would sooner post a bond with John K. than run around doing a collection of small transactions to build a trust rating. I would be suspicious of someone who does a series of small transactions with the goal of gaining trust ratings. I definitely expect anyone else would be suspicious of such activity. It basically is the leading edge of a con or scam to create trust with small transactions before pulling the big scam.
