The way it's implemented now isn't great imo. Just using follow lists/block lists that is. If you were to count your interactions with others and vice versa into an engagement balance and have one for each connection you have, I think that would be a better method for collecting the npubs in your de facto WoT. I've done the draft of the event store that would enable that. But the rest is just sitting in my noggin.

I’m eager to see you make more progress! I’m making good progress on my personal WoT relay. Baseline trust scores depend mostly on follows (with some dependence on mutes and reports), but more algos will be incorporated; having multiple ways to calculate trust scores is the idea.

Same! I'm just blocked by my need to finish the softwar audiobook because its mind worm is lodged in my brain right where the code writing bit is. Webs of Trust are a power projection technology in cyberspace, so I want to fully understand the only book that examines that subject before I continue. Zaps and their effect on trust make for an interesting case study.
