I like bitcoin, it's certainly a vanguard for the distributed cash movement. Recently became a part of debian: http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=3502.0 Also worth looking at: https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions/wiki Implementing bitcoin is as simple as linking your btc account to your profile. I did it in a couple of minutes using FOAF. If it takes you longer than that to publish your account, it's possibly a concern. > > Thanks! > > _______________________________________________ > Freedombox-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss > _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
