For most people, trust is a social problem, not a technical one. Almost nobody is going to care you work is signed, people will just check if they still enjoy the style, if it's still quality, if they still get value out of it, etc. And if one day they feel betrayed, you will be excluded from the pool. Sites like HN will make the pool an more and more exclusive one to get in. I predict moderation is going to get tighter and tighter everywhere. Therefore, creating a reputation and getting into the club early will prove a tremendous boon.
