@ Benefactor: me bin thinkin' the same. Yes, lower rating = send first; and a home of our own? IndiaMikeZulu keeps a simplesimple website for projects like this. Has worked well in the past. Un-Ex

@ V500: the very essence of this project is to create a trust-community that will be benefited by being both active and trustworthy. We are under no obligation to extend this model one iota beyond what is optimally efficient for us. Let us draw overtly on anthropological data: greater involvement always equates to individual advantage (of some type, whether directly or indirectly. The political left was flat-out wrong about 'primitive communism.' Margaret Mead was a fool.) An anonymous-trades facility is a great idea!

@ Bitcoin National: I agree with you: although a (paid) escrow service will be used in certain cases, the basic idea of the trust-community is that it is its own 'escrow.' Thus, a benefit -- free 'escrow' -- for TTs.

@ Bitcoin Charlie: good point! So, number and types of trades, trading with a range of other TTs, and trading over a period of time. Yup -- 'hard won' status!!

This comes back to discussions I've had with mark regarding creation of our own in house coin.

Sure it might have some value but that is secondary.

We could use a blockchain to create a decentralized protocol by consensus traders legitimacy list.

It's not something I've seen out there already but surely it could be put into practice on Etherium, one of the NXT derivitives, mastercoin or a coloured coin.

Its important to remember the idea of an 'in house' trusted group of traders is to provide a simple community level trust system. Love big idea's looking outwards but the core of a community trust system should be community.

If we get ahead of ourselves we may end up inviting the kind of behaviour we hope to abolish. Also it's about community development not necessarily about making a buck on technical development, though nobody has a problem with making a buck I'm sure.

Not wanting to besmirch Unobtanium, just that these 2.0 coins have those functions in mind from development. I don't see why Unobtanium could not have its own coloured coin feature. As mark has said, a simple pen and paper register kept by the trusted trader core would suffice.

As a technical person I find myself leaping to technical solutions, which could often just as easily be achieved with a pencil and a napkin.

@ Benefactor: please don't misunderstand me. I am here, and look set to remain here, exactly and precisely because of the Simple-Strengths Programme.

We love to kick ideas around, but we know which side our breads buttered on!
