@mats

Love your thoughts here.
And since we are Changing the World here i would like to Add, That the System should also know how to calculate All kind of other values. A coin could have All kind of rules added To iT. Like: this coin cannot be Used to buy weapons with. Or this coins devaluates when iT is Used for speculation. Or this coin is worth more cause iT resuced CO2 emmissions. Or this coin is worth more cause iT was Used for Creating acces to Fresh drinking water.

If a common reputation system can be built it will be very costly to mount sting attacks. It will also be very difficult to track how much a subletter makes. The amount of cars parked and empty rooms in the world is staggering.
