In 2013 the Marketplace Trust system has been introduced on the Bitcointalk forum. In short, its essence is that by default ordinary users trust the opinions of DT1 and DT2 members.

Only the forum administrator can add or exclude users from the DT1 list. It currently contains 13 accounts, one of which is probably auxilary.

• UPDATE: On January 9, 2019, the Marketplace Trust system has been modified. Nowadays the list of the DT1 group will be changed in accordance with certain rules. In addition, DT1 members can add other DT1 members to their distrusted lists, such a way they will exclude these users from the DT1 group if opinions are consolidated.

The list of the DT2 group is based on the current overall trust from DT1 members.

If one DT1 member adds an ordinary user to his trust list, that user gains +1 score and becomes a DT2 member. If this DT1 member subsequently excludes him from the trust list, that DT2 member becomes an ordinary user again. If another DT1 member using the "~" character adds a DT2 member to his distrusted list, that user gets -1 score but remains in the DT2 group with a zero rating. If yet another DT1 member adds this DT2 member to his distrusted list, that user leaves the DT2 group and becomes an ordinary user again. In this case he cannot be included in the list of DT3 and further. By default the trust depth is 2, therefore ordinary users do not trust the opinions of the members of DT3 and deeper.

Since user trust in each other is always changing, I decided to create the TOP-200 of the most trusted users in the groups DT1, DT2 and even DT3.


There are 100 users in the full list of DT1 members:

The following tables show user names and current trust scores. The list is first sorted by the overall trust from DT1 members, then by the overall trust from DT2 members. If all scores are equal, the list is sorted by user ID on the forum in ascending order.

Please note that the following lists are based on the Marketplace Trust network, not on feedbacks.
