dear apostolis, could you explain/qualify product maximizing economy or corporation, eventually for our blog or wiki ?<br><br>would this be like a CSA kind of structure, I think you are on to something very important, and I may use this concept myself in the future, it feels like a missing piece in the p2p edifice?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
