I can vouch for paulgb being one of the most trustworthy people I know. Kudos for doing this Paul!

Why should I trust you?

I can vouch for karanbhangui being one of the most trustworthy people I know.

I'll bite, and who vouches for you?

paulgb

if you can show me a blockchain that says the same thing I'll have 100% faith in all of you with 1+ confirmations.

Only if the web of trust:

a) eventually links to someone you personally know and trust

b) has not been compromised, intentionally or carelessly

Even if those are the case, after enough hops in the trust graph trust gets pretty diluted.

I don't need to have faith, I have a smart contract for that.

How did this thread survive on HN? It's redditesque!

I can vouch for seszett being one of the most trustworthy people I know....

Sorry, I don't have m3andros in any of my root certs...

;)

Thanks Karan, I owe you a beer for that :P
