Overview Slide Presentation

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I have just uploaded a browser-compatible presentation - The NASDAQ of Independent Currency Brands -using Eric Meyer’s S5 system. I also tried Slidy and DOMslides, but eventually found S5 to be simpler to use. The new presentation has only 18 slides and gives what I think is the best overview so far of the satconomy framework and implementation. Even though there is no audio on the slides, a lot of the bullet points are self-explanatory. So please take a look and enjoy the presentation.

The itemized inflow/outflow and online donation links have now been corrected on this site’s ledger page. I must have introduced the form action error after the script had passed multiple tests.

Accepting tyaga.org Currency as Payment

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

What does it mean to accept tyaga.org currency as payment?

1) As Wages: If you are a member of the tyaga.org entity, accepting it’s currency means that you would be using tyaga.org credits to buy something from the market. You would be relying on the strength of the tyaga.org brand as a means of redeeming products from other currency-issuing entities. At the same time, you would share in tyaga.org’s mission to fulfill its self-determined obligation to the market.

It’s similar to the concept of accepting employee stock grants, in that the granted units are not guaranteed to be redeemable for products in the market (such as cash or equivalent). The difference is that unlike shareholder stocks, the entity member’s credit units are immediately ‘consumed’ in a market transaction and are not transferrable, as explained next through what the seller does with the buyer’s credits.

2.) As Revenue: If you are a seller who belongs to another entity that issues its own currency brand, accepting a buyer’s tyaga.org credits means that you will be cancelling a corresponding amount of your entity’s self-declared debt to the market. A seller cannot re-use the buyer’s tyaga.org credits for subsequent transactions. Equivalent quantities of buyer credits and seller debits are cancelled in a market transaction.
