RE: What is an Open Value Network?
We are building a new breed of Open Value Network - Commons based peer production at SOCIALMARKET.com
Through Granted Rights of property, patents, products, inventory, equipment, from members to the open cooperative we solve the age old problem with defectors (Makerbot 2). If you don't know what natural cooperation (it is the cousin to natural selection) is check out http://www.martinnowak.com
GIFT Currency will reward co-operators and community investors in capital gains faster and with less taxes than if they opened a business themselves or leased/sold their products through other channels. It is like placing your labor, product, patent, commercial property, equipment, etc into the Cloud for everyone to use, build and earn capital gains from.
Any purportedly open architecture will most likely fail or not grow to it's possible potential by not following the rules of natural cooperation.
We currently are the only project known to be working on the defector problem directly. Without compensating co-operators with 100% Fruit of Labor there will always be defectors. GIFT Currency solves the Life, Liberty, and Property (Fruit of Labor) dilemma.
