Trust about what ? What investment opportunity are you talking about ? By the way what are your favorite TA indicators ? thank you for your contribution

the greasy traders were just meant as a metaphor.
Perhaps i misunderstood the kind of service you mean. (i thought it would also provide trading recommendations)

but still trust is needed when relying on a single platform.
imagine the provider releasing false data (eg. in form of a fake news article) and the whole userbase would take wrong decisions.
collecting the informations of btc's economy every week, filtering out the FUD and staying up to date takes quite the effort.
listening to the hives' buzzing on bitcointalk, reddit, tradingview and several newssites & youtube channels can be really exhausting after some time,
but i'm not sure if i would want to get that spoon-fed by one source.

The payment in this case would represent the reward for this trust in a team to really provide a reliable service of high quality in the long run.
that would be nice to have in an economy that tends to attract all kinds of scammers and dubious figures.

edit: regarding favourite TA indicators i'm currently playing around with Fib Channels, Ichimoku, EMA/MA, RSI, StochRSI, MACD, MFI, CMF

What is the usual setup now (for an average Joe trader) ? Bitcoinwisdom / Bitcoinity or something else ?

besides bitcoinwisdom i use http://tradingview.com for some months now and its tools really helped me to keep the overview during high volume phases.
http://btccharts.com/ is also quite nice, haven't used it in a while though.
