Metalocation could be shops of the same brand, and shops where you can get the same product. So you haven't talk again with your partner who is buying the milk - the first who came along a shop can buy it and by removing it from the "to buy" list - the other will not buy it, too. For your sport-team - the first who is near by the sports store could buy xz for the team Special shopping offer - you haven't the time to go monday morning into the shop zz to catch one of the special offers - but you can ask your familie, friends and neighbour to do it for you - the first of them who is in the shop get a "message - Hello Frank - please...." The system could also assist when will be the best moment to exchange things..... Of course things should be simple, but when you buing something for your sport-club or when this system is used - a financial assistment would be fine (it is also thinkable that this system is be used by people that didn't know each other) Such "comunity shopping" could be combined with a private (digital) cashpoint. The shopping task could have a (hidden) digital signature from you, - confirmation that user77 will buy it for you and it will cost 350€ - confirmation2 that user77 had bought it for you. Your system send to user77 a message that you say ok, when you give me it, you will get 350€ So in a family or with friends it could be a system that the kredits are taken and given and during the time they will be balanced. If not, you can exchange paper money, or do a (bank) transfer. This could build a private, non-comercial financial network of trust, which maybe could also used for mini-credits or even bigger ones. The private banking and sharing "tasks" should IMHO independent of one big server, one company, and it should be encryped.
