Very interesting: a startup providing a "reputation standard", aggregating
your reputation from several "sharing economy" sites, and allowing new
systems to use their API forusers to start with a given reputation. I.e. if
you are trustable in AirBnB and Ebay, you are likely to be trustable in an
BlaBlaCar trip. They define themselves as online passport:
"In *Traity* you receive your online passport to reflect your real
reputation and prove you are credible on any website."

They even include a way for third-parties to reward users with badges. They
don't offer a "unique number" condensing the reputation but a complex
profile... the faq is useful for that:

Of course, the whole thing is centralised, non-free, for-profit, US-based.

PS: Wtf, just noticed there is a student of mine hired by this startup xD
 It seems the three founders are Spanish.
