Topic: Trust (Read 410 times)
After the trust modification was added to Bitcointalk I decided to do my first transaction with another member. As I had no reputation, I sent payment first. However as I was sending payment first I screened the post history of the people who made an offer to my trade request and chose the person who looked most trustworthy based on post history (mainly they had successfully taken part in several auctions). Anyway the transaction went perfect and we both left positive feedback. Hope some of this info helps.
Two of the most important things in bitocin are trust and your reputation. They will be more valuable to you then all the bitcoin you can scam in the long run (even for pirateat40!).
I'm beginning to realize this as the bitcoin experiment evolves.
engage other user in conversation. People will read your post to find out about you.
Are you all up in the trading/lending forums looking for loans etc
or are you in the dev-forming asking questions about the protocol
or somewhere else learning and engaging about the community.
If you want to trade just ask some one.
you have have to send first or reveal personally identifying info
(just be sure you are trading with reputable members)
then when you have successfully traded besure you each credit the counter party
so that other can see that you are actively and honest trading.
