I saw a freak on shopstr not too long ago offering to sell books for around 2k satoshi's.
He was going to take the loss in order to increase his WOT score. I thought I'd pretty much do the exact same thing. I was thinking, how much would I pay to increase my WOT, how valuable will it be, was thinking taking a 300 cuck buck hit to promote the store ship products and increase the score would be fine.

how much would I pay to increase my WOT
Aren't you selling yourself out to the algorithm this way (again)? And whoever is willing to lose more money has a better WOT score? That sounds to me like the algorithm isn't working as intended in practice and a reason to not feed and trust it. Trust should not be something that can be bought, not even indirectly.

I guess the idea is,
If I have a successfully filled order my WOT will increase. In normie land a successfully filled order doesn't mean anything.
At Costco they give free samples of food to advertise the product, I'm offering free samples to advertise and to increase a metric which I think may be important to the shop.
Its not the money, but the honoring of the buying/selling contract which increases the trust score, I don't see it as being too wild.......but then again wild is in the middle of my name.

Mhh, makes sense when viewed from this angle. Thanks for explaining.

Yeah I think this makes a lot of sense in this space where we’re dealing with more anons and with money that can’t be clawed back. Getting a few discounted sales and following through with the fulfillment is a good way to start.

I see, you guys know what you are doing 🫡
edit: you might be interested in BitEscrow but that's probably overkill for the stuff you are selling
