This is an interesting project: Meta-Currency, which is the next logical step for uniting time-based currency systems. OFCS actually leapfrogs this tech by anticipating the obsolescence of currenct altogether, because in essence, OFCS treats credit (that is, "value") as merely information. OFCS imposes a quality of information that transactional systems cannot achieve, since they allow transfer of credit/debt (changing the "owner" property of credit/debit). The "owner" property of credit/debit in OFCS is intrinsically part of that debit/credit, and thus cannot be changed.
OFCS tracks ownership (or "responsible propietorship") of objects/commodities, and given that goods inevitably circulate, they become the "currency" of an OFCS-based economy.
Ed, would you be inclined to contact some of the people in this forwarded email thread about OFCS? Do you think they would be interested in participating in OFCS's development? FYI, anyone in this google group invite more members.

Beste,
Hier is een technische beschrijving van de meta-currency platform die ik denk de lange-termijn oplossing is voor wat wij proberen te doen. Meer daarover gedurende de Stuurgroep vergadering...
Goeie dag!
