Will the algorithm be made public?

No, for two reasons:

1. It becomes easier to game, as we’ve seen with the active badge.
2. It is going to change often as we dial in the parameters.

We expect this first version to be directionally right but not perfect. It will take many iterations before we get this right.

We expect it to launch later this week. If you have any questions or feedback, we’d love to hear it now and factor it into our design.

Please open source your parameters to determine who has a good or bad reputation. Otherwise, you may as well turn into CCP China.
