 Coracle's web of trust scoring is brutal... apparently I should only trust myself 64% of the time.

 I just logged in to check mine. First time I’ve ever used Coracle, and will be the last until whatever he’s doing is fixed. Is this basically a Hodlbod social credit score?

 😬😬😬 
 Don’t trust me bro 😂 
 Never 😂😂😂🫂🤦🏾‍♂️ 
 If you hover over it, it gives you the calculation he's using which is fairly benign. I think it's just overclocked on how it treats mutes.  
 I’ll check it on desktop later. Doesn’t seem to show me any additional info on mobile. But now it suddenly has me at a 34. It has you and Pablo very low for me too 😂🤷‍♂️

 You’re a 141 to me ✌️ https://i.nostr.build/6G76O.jpg  
 lol you must get my kind of crazy 🤣 
 that number represents roughly how many people you follow who follow you 
 also it's been changed because at one time my score was a bit over half the number of my follows 
 A 111 for me 🤔 https://i.nostr.build/Q7BdX.jpg  
 Ahh, interesting. I thought it was out of a 100 - I guess not.... 

In any case, I have this friend, he's a nigerian prince.... do you want to meet him?  
 Based on definition, you probably following same ppl... 
 it's not a percentage 😅 
 I have realized this now 😅  
 Trust no-one, not even yourself! 
 It's not a percentage.

 There is some design lesson here @Karnage and @nielliesmons, when users see a circle they assume it's a percentage intuitively 
 even a linear proportion has this property, a simple number has little meaning without a boundary on the big side 
 💯  
 Oukej, I can see it like 22. Looks it's kind of subjective and related each one personally. Interesting. I tought it's global and same for all. 
 That’s sounds about right xD I question if I trust myself everyday xD 
 60% of the time it works every time
