Hello guys,

There is a new alternate currency system being trialled called kaaaki.
I have attempted to register myself but they won't let me join until
there is at least one other person in Perth using it.

Their website is at: http://www.kaaaki.com/

Their twitter page has the link to the registration form:

best regards,

Chris Caston

Sorry ... too hard to find out about them. Videos take too long to
load and constipate the internet! .. gimme a quick text description or
mission statement that I can speed read in seconds!
Anyone care to create a summary of what they're about so I can decide
whether or not to support them (in spite of their choking of bandwidth
by forcing people to watch movies just to sus them out!)

I just found the whole attitude a bit off-putting.  Also, they manually approve each application - and they didn't ask me where I was from, so the "one more Perth person to join first" sounds a bit suss.  Plus, it's nearly 24 hours, I haven't heard back from them, and that's not a good indicator of their future response times, so I wonder why I'd bother.  What do they do that sets them apart? (Aside from, as Trev pointed out, hogging down great gulps of bandwidth...)

I have been in e-mail contact with the guys that are creating Kaaaki
and to be honest I have no idea what it is going to be like either. It
looks like they are taking a very long time to develop it. I want to
get one of the developers to contribute to my other project
Rejuvepedia. You see he is a trained Dentist but decided to go off and
work on his own alternate currency project. I want to offer to pay him
in Kaaaki currency to help with the dental section of the Rejuvepedia
project.

best regards,

Chris
