Hand Minted Local Currencies could be the Start of Local Economic Redemption

No.. new global money system of gold backed currencies is a fact.

No?

Under what authority are you speaking?

Do you have any authority to stop me from experimenting?

Do you even have permission to be in this world?

Take a softer, more humble tone, and we might get on better.

Multiple systems might work in parallel. It's healthiest for everyone. Competition.

When will the Tungsten Digital Pay Network (TDPN) be rolled out?

There are Goldbacks, but they're not accepted currency for payment of taxes or debt or commerce.

They might one day be accepted currency, probably in Utah and Idaho

How can they block commerce?

Are you guys bondslaves?

And contrary to your way of thinking it's a fucking NIGHTMARE!

-Going back to the early 1800's, there were so many different currencies floating around that in the old west most places preferred gold coins or "specie" -gold dust itself- that accepted at a high rate than currency due to uncertainty of that paper's value. And up until the 1930's national bank notes were issued in cities all across the country that didn't exactly streamline the national economy.

That's when the Federal bank notes we know today were created to standardize the entire system.

The Geotag Uniform Mobile Pay network (GUMP) will be rolled out in 2024.

Brain-chips for everyone.

Huzzah!

Well its certainly an honour to be surrounded by so many currency experts.

To be fair, I realized something similar.

Notes are easily fraudable, and therefore a no go.

OTOH, Cashless is a True Nightmare.

So, how do we walk the line between the Fiat Debacle and the Cashless Nightmare?

The way forward:

A mixture of digital pay AND locally-issued coins.

These are perfickly legal, and basically hipster meal tokens, so please no one even start on the legal aspect.

A new silver quarter would be a microdot.
A dime would be...

Release limited edition runs, like a Guided By Voices EP.

How do we deal with fraud etc?

1) Research point of sale verification systems, ancient and new.

2) Keep average value to a 3 dollar coin, making it (hopefully) not worth the while to counterfeit.

3) Serial numbers, about which no more will be said publicly.

4) Keep project open source, small scale and advisory, like DHH or Linus, so I can't be blamed if it doesn't work. LOL!

They would easily want me to front for a crypto exchange, pull the plug, and stitch me up publicly, probably for a feckin ten stretch.

No such luck, guvnor.

There is a local currency or sorts up here in the iron range of MN though seldom used anymore since everyone just pays with cards. They are similar to Poker chips with the name of the establishment you bought it from. These poker chips can be used at any participating business and prices at one beer per chip. I realize lots of bars have their own poker chip thing. This is difference since a chip bought at one bar can be used at any bar in the region.

Over the years the price per chip has went up. But chips bought for 50 cents in the 80s still buys you one beer in 2023. So theoretically there's no beer inflation.

That's what we need. Homebrewed coins.

NICE TRY to tap-dance around the "legal aspect" but that's entirely what your lunatic scheme boils down to: ONLY the federal government can issue coinage/currency. PERIOD. And that's the only thing that matters in this moot discussion.

Incidentally: "fraudable" is not a word and "perfect" is not spelled "perfick"... but at least you tried.

I want to go exactly along these lines at first. Cheers.

The aim is to prove-the-concept in 5 street food stalls, and
scale on Github.

If only 1% of people used them, I'd be fine.

I really just like to prototype at ground level.

The key is to get them Suitcase-Out-Of-Pulp-Fiction awesome looking.

I said last night, what would a coin issued by Apple or Musk look like?

First: F**k off with your patronizing tone.



There are HUNDREDS of local currencies in circulation in America, you stupid f**king inculcated fool.

You are, BTW, the reason Whitey-Knows-Best doesn't get hired, and your dipshit economy is in tatters.

You're telling me I don't have the legal right to press up 5 coins, and use them as food stall tokens?

Well.

Yuh.

of course, Bastian.

Glad I could create so many jobs in your industry.

That Greek guy was right, I need to improve that tinny bass.

I can see why Lord R etc call me mediocre. Fact is, I developed all these three star Jack-Of-All-Trades skill sets under a lot of pressure.

I had a boatload of responsibilities dropped on my lap, and i had to learn to spin 10 plates at once.

I wonder if I could get this mastered on Fiverr.

i knew a guy who could work wonders for 10 bucks.

I need to Reread Lord R's seminal post about brands. That was the only time he got the caustic-nutritional balance he'd been looking for. Other times, the ratio is off.

It made me laugh so hard I saved it.

I told him something about Strychnine and Myrrh over Xmas.

He got all withering over it.

If he daydreams on the fulcrum of those two nouns, he may find his place in Creation.

30% Strychnine.
70% Myrrh.

7:3

Most of you have those ratios inverted at best. Hence the problem Here.

I'm hoping he comes in this thread, with his signature catchphrase, so we can all cheer like it's a Christmas Panto.

Letter to Shopkeeper

Dear Shopkeeper,

We would like to pay 2 x credit in your store,

2 x 100 meals.

Is that possible?

After we pre-pay 200TWD, someone will come with a wooden token that looks like this.

PIC

This is for an experimental app.

Please let us know if you are intrested

Best Wishes,

Morningstar (Foundation)

Credit is more important than whatever is used to settle out accounts.
