<div>Hi Mark , Natalie, Patrick and all,</div><div><br></div><div>Mark ( Janssen ) ,</div><div>I notice you may be into graph theory ?</div><div><br></div><div>Could this interest you ? ( or anyone here reading this )</div>
<div><a href="http://www.automenta.com/netention">http://www.automenta.com/netention</a></div><div><br></div><div>usage I would like to share from it ( when it is developed )</div><div><a href="http://sharewiki.org/en/Transaction_Graphs">http://sharewiki.org/en/Transaction_Graphs</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>//</div><div><br></div><div>Patrick, it seems there has been an outcome from proceedings :</div><div><a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/print/338064" target="_blank">http://www.zerohedge.com/print/338064</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>//</div><div><br></div><div>till then, as shared in a previous post by Kevin,</div><div>Mutual Credit / Time Banks seem to be accepted ( ? ),</div>
<div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_banking" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_banking</a></div><div>- reciprocal service exchange -</div><div>based on this form of accountancy</div><div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_credit">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_credit</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>or other currencies, such as 100 percent guaranteed ( by dollar credit ) regional Freigeld currencies too ( or at least, in Europe - and in a some cases I hear they first ask permission to the central bank )</div>
<div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freigeld" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freigeld</a></div><div>who in many cases use "demurrage" to reduce hoarding / encourage liquidity in the local economy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>//</div><div><br></div><div>I may be deviating from the initial topic...</div><div>but since I joined in in expressing my preferences and wishes, here goes :</div><div><br></div><div>I do not know if any of you is into humanitarian / development work ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I notice millions are spent in humanitarian aid, yet very often directly in dollars or mainstream currencies, sometimes not even invested into the local economy ( other then the infrastructure that may remain after that passage of foreign NGO's ).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I feel supporting local economies / local development can be multiplied</div><div>by using the same amount of dollar money yet using a complementary currency ( a currency 100 percent guaranteed by this "real" money - which seems to be legal and does not require a banking permit ) ,</div>
<div>hence enabling it to circulate faster ( if it has demurrage ) - hence increasing local liquidity and exchanges -</div><div>and reduce its likeliness to get hoarded outside of the local economy.</div><div><br></div><div>
Such solutions may seem simple enough to implement, yet then I realize I am just an individual, and it requires collaboration. I see potential in being able to define such approaches with tools which I hope will be operational soon, such as</div>
