What is a trust tier?
The server computes a tier from votes and other signals: Observation (new or few votes), Soft trust, Confirmed, or Flagged. No human decides — it’s algorithmic. Higher tier means more unique voters, positive ratio, time span, and often geographic spread. See check and the extension for the result.
What can I check?
Domain or URL, email, phone number, IBAN, or any text. You enter the value; the system hashes it (no plain data stored) and shows community trust: plus/minus counts and tier.
What is LieCheck?
A claim-verification tool. You submit a claim; peers (in a Space or web) search and contribute snippets; a coordinator merges them into a summary. All with opaque IDs — no personal data. Use it from the LieCheck page or inside a Space.
What is a Space?
A private mini-community with a code (e.g. GRIGSI-XXX). You get chat, file/video sharing, polls, and LieCheck in one Space. Spaces can be personal or community (license-controlled, max participants). Every personal Space can become a community Space by re-joining with a license (payment); going from community to personal is free (re-join without license). Create or join from the Spaces page.
What is a Quick Space?
A space for chat, video, and files without creating a full Space. You get a short code (e.g. ABC123); share the link and others join. No account, no license. Create or join a Quick Space.
How do I vote (trust or warn)?
From the homepage check input or the browser extension: after you see a result, you can vote +1 (trust) or -1 (warn). The extension sends an opaque client ID — no email or name. Rate limits apply (e.g. 5 votes per hour per IP).
Is my data stored?
Only hashes and aggregate counts. No plain domains, emails, or personal data are stored. See the Privacy Policy.
How does connection work in Spaces? Is my chat or video relayed by the server?
In paid Spaces and groups, all traffic between participants (chat, video, screen sharing, LieCheck) is peer-to-peer (P2P). Your content does not pass through our servers. The server only does signaling (so devices can find each other) and a ping: if you want to connect and the other person is offline, a ping is sent to that session; when they come online and "hear" the ping, the P2P connection is created. No traffic, no liability on our side.
Can I use the trust API from my site?
Yes. GET /trust?hash=... and GET /api/trust?hash=... return plus1, minus1, tier, totalVotes. POST /vote-hash accepts hash, vote, and an opaque clientId. See the project docs (API-PUBLIC-TRUST.md). For browser calls from another domain, the server may need to allow your origin (CORS).
I can’t join a Space / “No free seats”
Organization Spaces have a max participants limit. If the Space is full, the server rejects the join. Try another Space or ask the admin to increase the limit (license).
Where do I get the browser extension?
For development you load the unpacked extension from the project folder (Chrome/Edge:
extensions/chrome-edge-opera/, Firefox: extensions/firefox/). Store listings (Chrome Web Store, etc.) are optional — see the project docs.
