That is MojoNation acting as a value issuer for a currency that is only good
within MojoNation.
Digital money is a reality and could be used in FreeNet.
suppose someone with the disk/bandwidth wants to offer some space, they
advertise that giving some way to id themselves as payment recipient (even
without a FreeNet accounting system this could be done just with a public
key)
someone who wants their content to hang around takes up the offer making a
promise-to-pay linked with the content. (again could be just a public key)
content is stored and a number generated for the bill.
payment is made referencing the billing number.
that last bit is the only part that needs to be figured out to make the
whole thing work.
with technocash/digicash/digigold there is no problems the value can be
encrypted and sent with the spenders id unrevealed, for easier currencies
like e-gold/paypal you need a third party that changes these to a more
anonymous payment (any one who likes that idea pleas feel free to join up at
http://www.egroups.com/group/goldenagents ) ; several already exist
Given the plentiful choices I am sure someone with a big hard disk with
space to spare would like to earn some free change.
This could be done manually now without any extra accounting system, but
would be nice to see a distributed trust metric/credit rating so general
purpose e-commerce could be handled on FreeNet.
