Re: [BPIP] Bitcointalk Public Information Project [Back in Action]
As you can see, there is a huge step forward on both "Most trusted" and "Most recognized" ladders. Last month, after the reshuffle, when I went to DT2 from DT1 I also noticed a huge difference on these ladders, but the huge step was back 
Anyway, my question is the following: I understand that both of these ladders are influenced by the presence in DT1, respectively DT2; however, is it actually normal such a huge difference? There is a 69 positions difference on "Most recognized" ladder and 176 on "Most trusted"... I don't know but, from my perspective, this difference seems way too big to be natural...

1. BPIP doesn't update all profiles at the same time, so theymos' DT1-update doesn't instantly update the order.
2. Some people have quite a lot of inclusions, including self-scratching. So their own Trust score changes significantly depending on whether or not they're on DT1.

ibminer, please don't take me wrong -- I am not questioning your algorithm here -- I posted all these just to ask if it would be a good idea to make a double-check, to ensure that all these scores are calculated correcly
You can check a few users for yourself: check their Trust/Merit/Activity, and see if they're in the right position in the list.
