> Dear Stephen and Andre and all,
> There may be benefit in looking at the legal and not so legal precursor
> local currencies outside the nationally approved banking systems that many
> on this list have been involved with over the last 30 years including all
> the LETS and LETS-like paper and digital currencies.
> See, for example,
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_community_currencies_in_the_United_Stat
> es
> Similar locally initiated currencies are found throughout the world. There
> is a body of legal expertise on them, and a body of literature on the design
> and use of alternative currencies and the design of communities using them.
> See, for example, http://www.communitycurrencieslaw.org/ and 'Sustainable
> Communities: Lessons from Aspiring Eco-Villages at www.praxiseducation.com
> Some alterative currency arrangements through the work of local activitists
> such as Jill Jordan at Maleny in Australia eventually emerge as new banks
> using traditional currencies, see
> http://www.abc.net.au/austory/transcripts/s355648.htm and

> Since the 1980s, designers in the community development movement and
> elsewhere have been designing new alternative currency arrangements and
> moving them into the digital world. IN addition, the design of 'black
> economy' arrangements, outside the law (outlaw) financial arrangements, and
> pirate currencies can be seen as part of this overall movement ( for the
> latter, 'If a Pirate I Must be' by Sanders offers some deep insights).
>
> Crypto-currencies and designer involvement can be seen as an extension of
> this prior work.
