I'm guessing (from your name and enthusiasm) that you live in a place where 0 approximately corresponds to midnight? :)
It would be more fair to split a week into 6000 parts, that way everyone would have midnight at strange ”hours” but on different days.
Lunch at @500...
Another alternative is to base time on the current longitude of the solar meridian.
