Re: I considered presenting

Hi all,

I would like to answer the original question of "How will funding work?".

A follow-up email will answer how to create a usable barter economy.

These solutions are confusingly simple because they are little more than
time delays.

For example, we can fund any operation by having customers "pre pay" for
the goods or services they want.

Of course this is the basis of most crowd funding campaigns.

When the customer prepays for a product, they developer receives an
*interest free* loan that he repays not with money, but with the product as
a guaranteed sale!

This is a small step toward what we can achieve though what I have been
calling "Imputed Production" (though I hate that name).

The extended version of this part is to have the customers become real
co-owners in the means of production for which they need the outputs (say
1,000 milk drinkers buy a dairy) - thereby owning the product even before
it is produced and so avoid the need to even purchase the product.  This
strangely eliminates profit (the price they pay as consumers is the costs
they paid as owners) and even eliminates sales tax.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense.


Sincerely,
Patrick Anderson
