<DIV>I don’t understand the technicalities of how Bitcoin works, but am
confident it will facilitate transactions. </DIV>
<DIV>A very general idea is offer an opportunity for charitable contributions to
support volunteer efforts by those who are unemployed, underemployed, employed
under the radar, etc. An individual earns points (bitcoins) based on volunteer
work and exchanges them for “cash” value. This would increase efficiency and
returns to labor by deleting “wasteful” hours from the system. I assume there
would have to be some type of safeguard to “insure” Givers against abuse (using
credits for drugs) and cheating (faking hours) Maybe have community groups
that “sign off” on the time spent be “certified” in some way. Within the
community, you now can trade your time for product-but this method allows
individuals worldwide to deposit into the pool.</DIV>
