IMO, the best solution is:
- create a new identity for crypto activity
- build reputation based on that activity
- trust no one
- "stake" existing reputation if you want
That's a very important argument when people start saying "an anonymous internet does not work because of scammers". This forum is a very good example that it can work very well. People are completely anonymous here (or pseudonymous since a fix username is set). Trust feedbacks, posting history and earned Merit are good metrics to evaluate how trustworthy an account is. (And also a reason to discourage account sales if Quickseller is reading here ^^)
It just requires a little bit common sense to avoid falling for scammers and when in doubt using escrow for big deals.

I agree but unfortunately, I'm not an experienced HTML/CSS designer, not even an inexperienced one...
