Guys,

We're playing with the idea of creating a Crowd Funding app where early stage companies can launch by pre selling credits in their service.

We'd like to gauge interest in this. Please sign up  here and spread the word if you're interested.

This is  great idea for a service and there's still some P2P tools to be built to accomplish the same.  This is  certainky a step in tye direction of the economic model based on real stuff.

Seems like a good way to get some seed capital.

Perhaps individuals should be able to partially IPO themselves too.

This could open the way to Crowd Sourced collection agencies, where the bullies drink Open Source formulas to buff their muscles, travel in Crowd Sourced car services (like GetAround), to pester the borrower until they return the money.

Or is it like with VC's where if you lost the money because the startup failed, then it's gone?

Almost certainly.
I'm personally hoping for balances that decay towards zero in the long term. Bounded-impulse-response monetary systems have a lot going for them.

I agree. The whole idea is that you use the currency
