A crash course in changing the world.
This is continuation of the idea proposed in:
http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/quantum-trade-rings
Improve this idea with Quantum Trade Trusted Rings.
I have study this type of systems (that in some manners are like LETS)
Wish list and a gift list is also something that I have thought, but not so elaborated has you did with rings, is a great idea.
In my LETS system I have also a currency (a way to transform a debt/credit to another person), anyone starts from scratch, 0 points and can bounce up or down (negative points). Note
that negative account is not a bank loan.
The loans are actually from other users (that I call entities), this rise an interesting problem common to all kind of loans, the trust factor. This system can’t work
at world level because of this factor (I can’t trust a person in the other side
of the world). I have solved this dividing the world in trust groups. Small
groups (local groups, friend groups) are trusted (at least in a better way than
bigger groups).
This solution fights in the trust problem, but is a step back in the wish-list/gift-list because we are separating services that can complete the
ring.
I have attacked the wish-list/gift-list problem without even realized it was there, building trees attaching trust groups. This could be a solution to complete the rings,
but this trust links must be made from group administrators, and completed with
some currency trade.
The group is transformed in an entity like another user with an account.
Currency total from linked entities are always 0, even if entities are simple users or groups. When a link is created the account is 0 for that entity in that link. I
have detected some problems here; you will see that new links also create new
accounts for that entity, the debt/credit to that link. These need solutions; I
can’t envision a system with so many accounts to all entities.
I call this system the Zero-Point Economy (ZPE) because the optimal point to any entity is in 0, no debt/credit. It may appear that positive balance is always better, but
is not, the system is balanced to 0, and you don’t have limits to either way.
Too many positive points means that you are giving too much to the system (you
don’t want that), negative points means that you are abusing the system (and
you will be tracked by your trust group for negative impacts).
If we thing about is not very different from Real Economy (RE). The main difference is that in RE, negative account is paid with bank interest. If you are in a negative
position the bank interest will push you further down, leaving you in a
desperate negative black h***. Negative position in RE has some nasty impacts.
ZPE is gentle in negative impacts and you can appeal to your trusted group to help in your debt.
There is a last point, if RE is similar to ZPE, in mathematical terms RE = ZPE + X. If ZPE is balanced in terms of debt/credit and service/product transfers, what X
means? I have a guess. Do you know what it is?
