I'm a theoretical engineer, for the most part; I spend more energy thinking about how to do things than actually doing things. I enjoy learning, debating, pondering, pontificating, reading, and otherwise acquiring, manipulating, interpreting, and perverting information. In my day job I'm a Research Engineer/Analyst with ITT Corporation, Advanced Engineering an Sciences division.

I found Jyte on the ClaimID blog, and something kinda clicked, or snapped; I'm not sure which. In any event, it's saved me all kinds of money I'd've lost playing poker. Victimless addictions are the best kind.

What is cred?

Cred is a virtual high five. It's a way to tell someone you think they are great at something, and let the whole world know. The more people who give a person cred, the higher their score will be. Learn more...

Rules

• Give cred only to people who've earned your trust.
• Avoid giving negative cred (see below).

Negative Cred?

Feeling the urge to give someone negative cred? Giving cred like "troll", "bully", or "creep" will boost their overall score and reduce your own. Also, if they are not part of the scored network, your cred may add them to the network. Consider making a claim about them instead. Please report abuse to the jyte team.
