Evgeni,
peer projects are like companies, they compete, not for profits, but for
attention,
your project is one of the tens of thousands free software projects, many
stillborn, and also one of the hundreds open money projects.
my experience is that before you attract support, there is a whole lot to do
oneself
beyond your own project, I have started to worry about the non-coordinated
proliferation of money project, in one week, people send me now several ...
I would urge you to contact the people of the metacurrency project and
decide on a part of the work that is both interesting for you, but also
compatible with the broader framework that they are working on,
Michel

I don't think this is true at all,
most 'normal' people think it is still the government that produces the
money, and are not aware of debt-based creation by the banks as the major
driver; they also see money as neutral, not as something that has its own
important design rules that favour certain logics over others,
of course economist understand it even less, because their job is mostly
ideological,
Those are exactly my thoughts. Unfortunately there are not many people who
understand
this. Even very bright people fail to understand it or perhaps
unconsciously
deny it. I
feel this very painful because I am unable to attract anyone to the project
I am currently
working on (I described it in a previous mail). And this is definitely not
a
project to be
done by one person. The problem comes from the fact that both technical
skills and
social visionary are required in order to grasp by the idea. I almost have
given up hope...
It seems that a working prototype is a must but it is a lot of work for one
person. Currently
I am working on design issues where one person is fine but soon I will have
to start
implementing lots off stuff which may take years. I would appreciate any
ideas how to
find people or organizations which might be interested in developing the
trading alternative
I presented in some of my previous mails.
