One of the reasons a #webOfTrust based #pseudonymousReputationSystem has never gained significant traction is that no one has ever released one with enough features to be functional. No one has ever built and released one with enough complexity. A short thread.
I’ll draw an analogy between making the first successful WoT-based PRS and making the first successful combustion-engine based automobile. There’s a certain minimum number of features and level of complexity that you’d need to achieve for your auto to be useful in the real world.
Suppose you did everything right except you left out the auto’s transmission system. Maybe the concept just never occurred to you. Or maybe there was a rush to release a product. Would it work? Nope. It would be a completely useless waste of time.
