I wonder who is behind these posts....
I explicitly stated that it is LOCAL, not global as it gets advertised. Read properly yourself before you tell me to.
I need a compilation of terry saying nigger
Who are you quoting?
You're right. I couldn't comprehend the part about the WoT being "a local affair". What would that mean? Is this just a simple address book (i.e mapping between names that you choose yourself and public keys) or something more complicated? How can a WoT be local?
*I may or may not come back to this thread as 8gag is now more unusable than the worst website imagineable (reddit). Endchan exodus when*
It means that a rating is not globally meaningful, and especially not meaningful enough to be automatically interpreted. "XYZ trusts ABC by a value of 5" - what does this mean? Ask XYZ to find out. They actually use meaningless phrases instead of meaningless numbers, but this makes the principle clearer.
In your local group, you may be able to agree on a meaning of a rating, but even that's not necessary. You can just as easily ask XYZ (in person, via secure comms, whatever) what you want about ABC; he rated him, so he should know something. The original intent is to find out that "this key really belongs to ABC", but obviously you can use this mechanism for just about anything else. For instance, in Bitcoin, there used to be not sure if it still exists a WoT to check for trustworthy/scamming traders, where people who rated often agreed to give you more info on the person when questioned.
