Just 4 days ago, I was actually surprised how many people had included me:
I'm now including you as well, so I'm guessing you're only a couple of inclusions away from DT1.
I still need to increase my own trust list though.Quote
Which raises a question - is there a way to see one's eligibility? Like how many 10-merit users are including the user? The current trust hierarchy can only show who's included by people in my list but not the other way round. I know this can be extracted from data dumps but that's convoluted. Having visibility of it might help detect abuse before it happens.
There's this:https://bitcointalk.org/trust.txt.xz is updated weekly; you could monitor that.
I may make a rankup list someday, if DdmrDdrm doesn't beat me to it.I'm also a bit worried how easy it's going to be for a bunch of Newbies to get on DT1 by abusing just 1 Legendary with 200 sMerit. Of course exclusions will fix that again quickly, but not before creating some drama.
