### High Level Minutes from beginning of meeting

#### Philip
- Right now, the weight of my opinion is not judged
- Currently I have only rated people I have a "strong opinion" on. Have avoided the middle/edge trust cases.
- We need a third metric for "how well do we know them"?
- Concern: Showing someone as "a little trustworthy" should not negatively impact a users rating.

#### Mono
- I have a bad rating, and I'm not happy about it.

#### Tom
- What if we use a tiered system, work of previous knowledge. Use a "staked" vote, inject equity into the vote.

#### Jonah
- Most profound aspect of the experience: Felt like I was rating a persons "goodness" or "altruism".
- We want to query an entire Node to check if a person is real or trustowrthy.
- Rating "goodness" is powerful
- How do we know if I'm participating in a DAO that is "good".
- I can't look broadly across a community and find their trustworthiness.
- Everyone is playing the game
- People can carry around their aura on put it on display

## Values

### Philip
1. Provide us information that disagrees with the current sentiment
2. Tell us something we don't already know

### Adam
1. Is this is a sybil attack
2. Is this connection careful and accurate (as a participant)
3. Is this person actively participating.

### Quotes
- "With correct visuals people will be stoked on their Aura regardless of the status"
- "If people's Auras are small, they should know that participating will grow the size of their Aura"

### Onboard a A Remote Village Example
- When Philip onboards an entire remote village
- This will appear as a Sybil attack at first
- Users who are familiar with Philip's behavior will bet heavy that the village is a good actor
- Users who disagree with the signalling will be incentivized to participate due to potential reward

## Round 2
