OPEN 2020 - Propose a session

Beyond currencies and tokens too @Diana Finch , into mutual credit - let's escape money as far as we can? And although I recognise what is important in 'anchor institutions' - they're inescapably here in the short-to-medium term, at least as far as the channelling of spending in the local economy is concerned - we shouldn't be too ready to pin our hopes on them? They have other, divergent agendas too? They are, after all, corporates.

Great topic. I'd recommend to investigate other successful (like Will Rudick in Kenya) and less successful (like Poi in France) similar initiatives so that new local & tokenized payment systems with local governance benefit from lessons learned.

I like it. Furthermore, I have created a prototype crypto token that aims to incentive energy efficiency: https://github.com/glowkeeper/Enervator. That currently has a global scope, but it needn't; indeed, my university and a local county council are currently in discussion regarding a research proposal where they deploy Enervator to add value to their public spaces. I'm happy to contribute work around Enervator, if it's deemed appropriate.

abstaining so as not to bias the vote - but yes, some interesting ideas in here - see also https://www.commonshood.eu/#two (which seems to have the tech to do what you want - and will hopefully also be at OPEN 2020) and https://www.grassrootseconomics.org/single-post/CICs-are-Now-Open-Source (as @philh suggested )

I've been into fintech since inventing in 1998 a shared market transaction registry - NewClear. (I used to be a Director of a global energy exchange). I now research & develop risk, cost, surplus & data sharing institutions & instruments for a resilient society/economy - Energy Fintech & Community (People/Place) Fintech

I'm keen to see such a comprehensive initiative finally realized (but it's certainly not the first proposal to do so). I'd very much like to help if/where possible. Anything of this type has to be designed with sufficient flexibility to enable it to co-evolve with the environment in which it operates, and that really requires an open and eclectic approach.

Given that central bankers have joined the spivs and speculators at the roulette table, greater awareness and discussion of this topic is of vital importance.

Again, it seems rather complicated, but am always interested to learn.

Why wallets? Business, organisations and average citizens don't like or can't operate with wallets.
