+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. =
+

+
+I love the idea of virtual, non-geographic communities experimenting =
+
+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 =
+

+ignores you.

+
+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 =
+
+e-commerce sites.
