OP, You have a thing going on here. From what i understand, this is an idea of using a web of trust to verify transactions. Consensus to be arrived at by building and utilizing a web of trust. Its like an online version of a bunch of clerks maintaining the ledger in banks in old times.

I doubt its usage for settling transactions but the idea itself is worth exploring as it has potentially several applications in the times of Social media. I would follow this. I have a small but important request for you to kindly consider.

If its a "web of trust" we are looking at, please keep a condition that people who have used alt-accounts for spamming and have negative trust feedback should not be accepted. The condition for "minimum 8 posts" is pretty weak, especially considering that you have an ages old account at the forum. If this isn't a bought account, you must be aware of the mass manipulation and scamming this forum has gone through. If you are looking to start a web of trust, wouldn't it be prudent to have some sort of best practices??

Good Luck!

The Web of Trust is expected to be established on Zeronet (ZNET), which is basically a layer over Tor where everyone is encouraged to run anonymous services which could include a Zenoribbon claimchain ledger. Unlike .onion service, a Zeronet Service Cog is intended to be extremely easy to set up for any participant. Each participant is expected to build their own web of trust by ranking who they trust most to least. The overlap of agreement between that person and each other person they interact with on the network is where consensus begins to build. From that point, users are expected to assign a level of honor to the various groups within their network of most trusted people. The group with the highest honor is then delegated as the consensus leader for that participant. The protocols of that group will be accepted as the protocols used. So for Zenoribbon, the minimum time delay between transactions would be an example of the requirements by that group to get a transaction validated.

The Web of Trust is merely a formality. Crypto enthusiasts know that Bitcoin Core is the group setting the Bitcoin protocol. However, who knows their public key? Everyone should have a copy of their public key. We don't have that because we generally don't have a formalized and automated Web of Trust application. Such an application would enable much better security for everyone.
