View it in your browser. Dear Robert, 1) Paul Moore is the man who warned HBOS they were about to go under back in 2005. Naturally the board of HBOS ignored him. The 20 minute interview with Paul Moore below reveals just how the banks operate and why leaving them with the power to create money can be disastrous. He answers some crucial questions like "Do the guys at the top of the banks understand that bank lending creates new money?, "Do they consider the impact they have on economy?" WATCH HERE. 2) Move Your Money month! March 2012 is Move Your Money Month. If you've been thinking about moving your money, now's the time to get it off the 'to do' list and into the diary.

Watch the interview here. 4) Available Now: Where Does Money Come From?

Fwd: Internet Evolution, Internet 2.0; post SOPA
by Mark Janssen 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

I'm forwarding a message I sent recently to the IANA (later also to IETF), that I though you might be interested in. It's about the creation of a united content-centered Internet, similar to the what happened with physical netoworking back in the 90's. mark Santa Fe, NM ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Janssen <dreamingforward(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Feb 19, 2012 at 9:08 PM Subject: Internet Evolution, Internet 2.0; post SOPA To: iana(a)iana.org Cc: ignite(a)mozillafoundation.org Hello, My name is Mark Janssen. I've been a network engineer "back in the day" and hooked up my University to the Internet back in 1993 (WHOIS: MJ24). I remember when the potential of the Internet seemed unbounded, with thousands of unique sites that would pop up on the radar weekly. I'm hoping this email message gets to some IANA network architect who remembers and appreciates John Perry Barlow's Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace. Feel free to forward to others who may be relevant as well. While to many eyes, there's no problem with the Internet as it stands, I wish to make the case for the development of Internet 2.0. (This touches upon, but goes well beyond the issue of IPv4 address space; in fact, the solution I'm going to propose makes IPv6 a red-herring -- the right solution to the wrong problem.) The problem is that the Internet evolved as a server- and geo-centric phenomenon, where only large institutions could host content and where one could depend on "always-on" networking; hencefrom came DNS, all the way to hyper-links and HTML. Since the government/RIAA shutdown of Napster and P2P networking phenomenon, this [geo, server-centric] limitation of architecture has *balkanized* the Internet. The billions of users now spend most of their time on so very few sites. The economic and cultural loss of this is hard to measure, but I insist that IT IS IMMENSE. There are a number of us that have been working on these problems, mostly under-the-radar, debating the solutions for this. The networking landscape of 2012 has millions of users with large hard drives and ubiquitous, mobile network connections, NONE OF WHICH can host the dynamic content that users are generating by the giga-bytes *everyday*. My generation (GenX) has the creative and intellectual potential to participate in a rich dynamic cultural experience, but our current economic system fails to provide the engagement to take advantage of it. This is part of the impetus of the Occupy Movement -- we're simply tired of participating in the Industrial Model. The Internet can provide the alternative for the 21st Century. What I'm proposing is the creation of a content-centric Internet, a true web 3.0 -- a Web 3D, where users navigate the internet, not by domain names, but by interests. It's tentatively called Pangaia (pangaia.sf.net) Take the first 3 to 4 layers of the OSI network stack (up to TCP) and leave it as is -- that's the physical network. Then, separate out the top 3-4 layers, set them *orthogonal* to the physical layers and create a *unified content-network topology*, wholly independent of the details of the underlying network Internet 2.0. IP address assignment will be dynamic and a function of the hosted content -- a more efficient fractal-IP layout can occur rather than the fragmented IP assignments that we have presently. It would take a killer-app to pull it off, and I think Pangaia can do it. The Pangaia project has developed some sophisticated algorithms that can self-organizing the content of the Internet and scale to the billions. It comes out of various research in complexity theory and analysis of the various problems o community internet sites who have tried to solve the problems of decentralization without devolving into chaos. Pangaia provides what could be called a "Physics of Information", the rest will be provides by the community. It will re-organize the whole internet (the top content layers of course where billions of users spend a large part of their day). Think Wikipedia + a voting model that allows per-revision voting, plus a reputation model. It will create a whole new realm of economic activity, and the votes count as a type of currency. It is hoped that it will upturn the outdated and dying Industrial Model and create a new society. I've been working at this at a non-profit hackerspace/technology incubator called the Santa Fe Complex (sfcomplex.org) here in Santa Fe, NM. I'm writing to you guys to see what awareness there is about the issues mentioned, and what interest there might be to have further dialog. I believe the Mozilla Foundation will be interested (cc'd on this message) and is working on some similar explorations, but have not heard from them yet. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Mark Janssen pangaia.sf.net Santa Fe, NM

the Internet Blueprint: grassroots suggestions for reforming U.S.Internet law
by Franco Iacomella 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi, forwarding the e-mail below. Should the P2P-F endorse the proposal? Best, Franco. -------- Mensaje original -------- Asunto: [A2k] the Internet Blueprint: grassroots suggestions for reforming U.S.Internet law Fecha: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:43:03 -0500 De: Sherwin Siy <ssiy(a)publicknowledge.org> Today Public Knowledge is excited to announce The Internet Blueprint, hosted at internetblueprint.org. The Internet Blueprint is an attempt to put forward a positive agenda post SOPA and PIPA. Please feel free to go to the site and poke around, but let me give you a quick overview of the site. The first thing you will see on the site is a list of proposals. These go beyond general statements, and include detailed descriptions and actual bill text. Going forward, they will also contain icons for Congressional champions, along with organization and company endorsers. Scrolling down, there is also an opportunity for members of the public to suggest additions to the site. Anyone can create an account and propose an addition. Then the public can upvote the ones they like. If the proposal gets enough support, they will be considered for inclusion in the formal list of proposals. Also, hopefully, some of the organizations on this list will consider endorsing one (or more than one) specific proposal on the site. There is more information here: http://www.publicknowledge.org/blog/introducing-internet-blueprint And, of course, here: www.internetblueprint.org So please take a look and let us know what you think. Also, if you would like to endorse a proposal and have your logo displayed on the site, please let me know.

Re: [P2P-F] "Spanish village goes back to peseta"
by Dante-Gabryell Monson 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Thanks Richard. This is interesting. It made me check for Belgium, and indeed, the notes can still be exchanged. In Belgium it is also possible to exchange old notes, but not old coins. ( http://www.nbb.be/pub/faq/R2Q01.htm?l=fr ) In some other countries, such as Germany or Spain, there is no limit to the exchange of coins and notes. Comparison table : http://www.ecb.int/euro/exchange/html/index.en.html I imagine this can open up an opportunity in some of these countries to encourage people to use their old notes to support through consumption, or to invest, in localized economics, eventually community empowered / managed / operated / owned businesses ( cooperatives ) ? Apparently, it is estimated at an equivalent of 1,8 Billion Euros, in pesetas, for Spain.
