Ok deal, I'll see how far I get. One more for you, something I find rational: http://www.generation-online.org/p/fp_bifo5.htm Edit: After reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_one_price

You got it. Coins value is totally subjective. So even junk coins might be interesting in aggregate.

What I like about the reaction so far is that folks get what I'm going for, even with such a vague short description. I bet multiple engineering teams all starting from just the stuff published so far would come out not too far from ea

Short answer is I hope coins are shareable but that there's no requirement to run them through any central authority. So they disclose information in exchange for not privileging a particular party. Edit: it should be possible to writ

Part of the idea is the commercial relationships you have, while being fairly weak, are also a pretty good proof that you are a person and not a bot. So spending coins provides a different kind of basis for public key trustworthiness. Which

Yes the notion is that we can throw away the idea that everyone must be ranked on a single number line. Instead each person would see their own view of who is wealthy, who is reputable, who is a hard worker, etc etc. And depending on my val

Coins can really be any data, issued by anyone. So they can almost be thought of as contracts in some cases, assertions in another. When the video of my talk is up you'll see that comes up in the Q/A. Part of the reason I'm b

No it's hard and could lead to sad stories. Say your phone holds a few wallets and a hacker breaks in a starts double spending. That would ruin those wallets and I guess there are simpler cases like you just lost your wallet / for

Hey, Chris Anderson here, this article is about my project. Here are slides from my Open Source Bridge talk on the subject. First half is philosophy the second half is tech: https://speakerdeck.com/jchris/subjective-cry

This is great. Assuming something like this becomes the new normal, I feel like the next problem is micro-payments so that people can get paid for their data.

CoAP is very compelling, here is the spec: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252 Cool that it maps to HTTP / REST so you can proxy it to the web. All the tricks it gets from UDP + TURN ICE STUN are p2p friendly.

One more interesting implication of 2: you might want to let the user specify what to use for sorting. Although that seems problematic to me.

I think there is still room for a generalist to make a dent in the world. If you can build full stack apps you're at least worth gold to someone / yourself as a technical cofounder if you can stomach the risk.

We surveyed NoSQL users in 2012 and it turns out the biggest draw is the no-schema thing. People don't want to coordinate migrations when they are implementing new features. In some cases this may be technical debt, in others, having a
