so in addition to no trust, there will also be no log transformation?

Good question. We'll probably keep the log transformation but it'll apply something like as follows: log(0.3*(zap_sats+boost_sats) - downzap_sats).
The log transform won't be applied per zapper, but for the entire item.

The more I think about it, it might be worth removing the transform. It’s less transparent and discourages zaps on posts that have already earned a lot.

That's a pretty interesting hypothesis. I can see it going both ways. With the log-transform, someone who really wants to boost the post and is sats-rich is incentivized to make larger zaps, since they need to in order to influence the rankings.
Similarly, with log-transform, sats-poor users are more incentivized to make small zaps on posts that already have a lot of zaps, since each unique user zapping is relatively more impactful.

The fear without the log transform is we end up with rich-rank or promotional-motive-rank. (I’m more afraid of the latter.)
The problem with the log transform is that we don’t know that unique zappers are actually unique (and need trust to make a better guess).
