That's do-able. It can be programmed to follow any set of rules.

I see Bitcoin as a foundation and first step if you want to implement
|
|
|
|
|
programmable P2P social currencies like Marc's ideas and others
|
|
|
|
|
discussed here. First you need normal, basic P2P currency working.
|
|
|
|
|
Once that is established and proven out, dynamic smart money is an easy
|
2021-01-02 01:08:05 -06:00
|
|
|
next step.

I love the idea of virtual, non-geographic communities experimenting
|
2021-01-02 01:08:05 -06:00
|
|
|
with new economic paradigms.

Indeed, it is much like Pekunio in the concept of spraying redundant
|
|
|
|
|
copies of every transaction to a number of peers on the network, but the
|
|
|
|
|
implementation is not a reputation network like Wizard Rabbit Treasurer.
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, Bitcoin does not use reputation at all. It sees the network
|
|
|
|
|
as just a big crowd and doesn't much care who it talks to or who tells
|
|
|
|
|
it something, as long as at least one of them relays the information
|
|
|
|
|
being broadcast around the network. It doesn't care because there's no
|
|
|
|
|
way to lie to it. Either you tell it crypto proof of something, or it
|
2021-01-02 01:08:05 -06:00
|
|
|
ignores you.

As trust systems go, Ripple is unique in spreading trust around rather
|
2021-01-02 01:08:05 -06:00
|
|
|
than concentrating it.

It would be best to refer to the C++ source code. I plan to implement
|
|
|
|
|
interfaces for using the software to send and receive transactions from
|
|
|
|
|
any language, so server side code can easily use it for web based
|
2021-01-02 01:08:05 -06:00
|
|
|
e-commerce sites.
