New page with info on the DT1 live "voting":
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dtviewBut probably far less who will actually update their lists. Having said that, 10 people with 10 merits (and 1 with 100) trusting you is not a particularly high bar to be set. I would worry about potential scammers either buying or trading merits their way on to DT.
If I'm not mistaken, 200 sMerit is enough to create 10 DT1 members: Send 20 Merit to 10 accounts, send 10 times 10 Merit to the last account, and give all of them this Custom trust list:
All of the "DT1s" would also have to be of Member rank, which isn't trivial.
Anyway, there are many
conceivable ways to abuse the system, but if it happens, you can just shoot me a PM and I'll fix it, probably in less than 24 hours. To do it in a way that's
non-obvious, where I wouldn't blacklist the accounts, would require tons of time and sMerit, and is unlikely. I'm inclined to let the current criteria go for a while and see if "unknowns"
actually start habitually getting into it, in which case changes would be needed.
Anyone knows if this counts as an -1 score on everybody on DT list if you are on DT1?
It doesn't. The algorithm would never work that way.
