WoT

many ways to implement wot. correct answer is personalized pagerank + custom nostr logic

Isn't that what this guy did already 6 month ago here:

Goodhart’s Law makes a single good metric impossible.

Goodhart's law - Wikipedia

“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." The only solution is so many different measures (ie different one for each user) that it’s unfeasible for spammers to target every one.

Yeah just realized they are using it! Didn’t know that. we will likely do something similar inside our embedded relay

yeah they doing it right

I am gonna do it on the client yeah

hence *personalized* pagerank. It would be different per-user based on their interactions

The more I think of this, the more I'm convinced that there shouldn't be any attempt to provide metrics of anything.

nostrdb is super optimized for ingesting and storing lots of notes. It’s not really a big deal. Things are incrementally updated and cached. We also have an embedded local note search. We’re making it to be offline first. we try not to rely on or trust any external third party services, especially for things as important as web of trust calculations.

not to mention in many private relay scenarios, its not like some centralized wot service would even have access to the notes needed to calculate web of trust. Many of them might be things like private zaps or interactions on non public relays.

you don’t need to calculate the entire network, only the people you interact with
