1. Can I have more than one account? It seems like people are buying and selling these accounts, so does that mean I can have more than one? What are the rules with this?
2. How does this trust thing work? I see some newbies with -xx trust and I do not know how I earn trust?
Thank you in advance for who ever answers and I look forward to being a good part of this community.
1. Yes, You can
2. Trust thing is not global, Means when you give someone a neg/pos trust, You can only see the neg/pos trust you gave.
Explanation:
These scores are taken from your trust network. They are not global scores. You can edit your trust network here:

If your trust depth is set to 2 (the default), you will trust feedback by people you trust, people they trust, and people they trust. I might change the default in the future; we'll see how this works. Your trust list is public.
On feedback pages, you can leave trade feedback. There are no rules for this, but here are some guidelines:
- List all of the trades that you do with people (or at least the major ones). This is not like #bitcoin-otc where you give people just one score.
- Do not rate people based on the quality of their posts.
- Older ratings count for more, so don't delete old ratings if you can avoid it.
- "Risked BTC" is how much money you could have lost if the person you're rating had turned out to be a scammer. Or, if they are a scammer, it's how much you lost. Use the BTC value at the time of reporting.
- It's OK to post a rating about the person in general, not tied to a specific trade.
- If you want to make a rating stronger, increase "Risked BTC". 50 extra risked BTC is equivalent to an additional rating.
If your trust list is totally empty, you trust "DefaultTrust", which includes some trustworthy people that I'll select. But if you add anyone to your trust list, even if they don't trust anyone, DefaultTrust will no longer be considered part of your trust list.
