Re: LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system
In this case I think I have a good reason to give him positive feedback but maybe I will have to change it because it is not well explained. And if you see it as given lightly, surely others do too.
Rewriting it could indeed avoid confusion.Quote
If I can trust that he is going to do a job for free, won't it be logical to trust him also if we make a previous economic deal?
I wouldn't necessarily expect that, because of this:Quote

I really appreciate it when a person who doesn't know me at all offers to do work for me for free. And if tomorrow, let's say I have a website and I want him to design the cover. He tells me he's going to charge me $100.
If he did the job when he didn't know me at all and for free, I won't trust him to do it for me if I pay him?
Somehow "doing a job" to me feels less likely to turn into a scam than "doing an exchange". If someone is good at designing covers, it may take him a few hours, and a few hours isn't worth destroying a reputation. But if it's a trade, and someone earns $1 per hour in his normal day job, they might be tempted to run off.If he did the job when he didn't know me at all and for free, I won't trust him to do it for me if I pay him?

As you go up in quantity, no matter who you make deals with, it is wise to take security measures. I could probably get a non-collateralized loan for $200 on the forum, but if I ask for $20,000, I will likely be asked to leave some kind of collateral such as a shitcoin as collateral, no matter how good a reputation I may have.
I'd be comfortable asking a $200 loan too 
I prefer to stay far away from any amount that would raise eyebrows.Quote
Another doubt I have is regarding neutral feedbacks, I have seen that people leave neutral feedback, even when there has been monetary exchange and you also mentioned something about it in another post. I don't quite understand it, isn't trust feedback supposed to be precisely for that? If you make exchanges with money involved, and they go well, I understand that the feedback should be positive.
Say we make a trade: You send me $200 in Bitcoin, and after that I send you $200 on the Lightning Network. You trusted me, I didn't scam you. I didn't have to trust you, so you couldn't have scammed me. Does that mean I'd trust you if I'd send first? Maybe, but not based on this deal. So based on this hypothetical trade, I don't think you'd deserve positive feedback.Quote
Something else: I've seen my updated trust list in Loyce.club and 1miau still distrust my list but I think he distrusted it when my dog deleted all people that was in my previous list. People like 1miau are supposed to review this? Or maybe if I see it's been a while I can send him a PM to see if he wants to check the new list?
You were excluded by miau in the week you made your first Trust list, not when you wiped it (2 weeks later). It's up to them whether or not to review their exclusions, I usually don't bother to PM users about their exclusions.
