This is very fine.

I have long dreamed of how exactly all this could be of useful utility to real people and real places and real [community of] things.

I don’t know everything you have going on here, though I like what I see so far.

I have wished for similar ideas around functional communities who actually still have brick and mortar terminal interests. It’s a big leap these communities going digital, however the economies they generate within themselves could have long term “share cooperative” value.

It could be like a currency with a running exchange (cash and carry) however what it is in one part (token) a value share, and in another (non fungible) like a voting right (contributor.)

Anyways, yes, local value systems that aren’t public blockchain have a place in the world.

Thanks! A locally-rooted value system that is not based on a public blockchain can become a gentle value-creation mechanism, tailored to the climate and culture of the region. In one community, such a system is currently being operated using analog methods, though certain management challenges have begun to surface. However, even without smart contracts, we believe the same concept can be implemented relatively simply within the community by utilizing a database.
