I'd like to see a decentralized alternative to "rating stuff".
(where the rating applies to everything from products, services and websites to comments)
(where the rating applies to everything from products, services and websites to comments)
Do they have the concept of "transitive trust"? (Is there a better term for that?)
Let's say I want to buy some new camera. I'd like to express something like:
- People on HN, I trust for 80% (say, because of the technical nature of the product)
- Friends on facebook I trust for 40%
- Friends of friends on facebook, I trust for 10%
Then using this spec, I'd like the system to come up with a sorted list of cameras, with ratings. Would this be possible without privacy issues?
By the way, if a rating system turns out to be robust, we could potentially use it for rating politicians :)
