[Imc-alternatives] open money project - looking for techies

[John Milton]

Sorry Sheri, but I must say the "vision" of human behavior re "wealth" 
outlined in the links provided, compared to what people actually do in 
the real world {Ref: the sub prime driven implosion we are now in the 
middle of, which is in fact a result of the money makets creating 
phantom "wealth" in much the same way as this system proposes) gave me 
the best laugh I have had in what has otherwise been kind of a gloomy week!

Cheers

P.S. I do think scrip systems are great for facilitated barter like LETS 
etc given proper safeguards and design

Best wishes for exchange systems proof against "gamers", fraudsters, and 
greedy parasites
