Good day to you all,
I've recently devised a solution for decentralized P2P trust
networking which you might all be interested in. It relies on an
artificial reasoning suite called Subjective Logic to provide methods
for deducing transitive trust. I've written a short 2 page paper to
detail the protocol - http://4abf.net/static/2013/jan/trust4.pdf
I'll be happy to answer any questions and discuss any critiques.

It is not obvious to me how this performs should Bob create a million
sybils to say that Bob is good.
The system is designed to support generic trust. What are we
trusting? Are we trusting Bob to be truthful, trusting Bob to pay his
debts, trusting Bob to wisely curate content? Each of these is subject
to subtly different attacks.
Any trust scheme has to manage information about the probability of a
probability, or rather the probability distribution of a probability
distribution, abstractions that are hard to grasp, and I had a
particularly hard time grasping them when they were not anchored to the
probability of any particular event.
