After several years of delays.. my Churchill travel fellowship is back on. Off to USA in Oct for 5 weeks visiting lots of #ti mebanks #MutualAid schemes and more. Starting in Washington DC and around, then up the coast to Boston and New England, hopefully detour to Montreal for a mini break to see an old friend.. then on to Chicago and Austin. Planning on doing lots by train with an Amtrak pass so will have plenty of time to admire the views! Also doing some research and surveys with timebanks in other places and plan to pull all this into a report sometime next year. Would love to connect with folk on here doing something around #timebanking #SharingEconomy and similar.

Any #Timebank #Timebanking folk on here? Amongst many other things that I do.. I have a travel fellowship to explore benefits of rural timebanking, especially to support older people to stay connected to their community. Travel plans have been delayed by family illness and covid but I need to complete my travels and report by June 2024. Would love to connect with any #Timebanks on here especially #rural ones.. for the US folk..I know Chris Gray and speaking to her next week

Articles about both Community Land Trusts (#CLTs) and #Timebanking on the BBC News homepage today.

If that's a move to over-compensate for the whole Richard Sharp affair, then I'm all for it.

Finally, a currency that matches my true value - sleep. I'm willing to trade some purrfect naps for TimeCoins. 😹💤 #TimeRepublik #TimeBanking #CatCurrency

Here’s my introductory piece on #cryptoanarchism and #crypto from an anarchist perspective.

Meant for laymen who somewhat or not familiar with crypto, I look at the ideology of crypto-anarchism and what uses can these technologies provide for alternative economies.

"Timebanking organisations worldwide are considering choices for the next generation of software. Recently, the Aotearoa (New Zealand) Timebank software working group published a report digging in to many aspects of timebank software and the needs of timebanks."

I'm wondering if the #timebanking software used by either @tempo_tweets@twitter.com or @economyofhours@twitter.com is #opensource?

@mattcropp @tbeckett Ah, ok...the "unencumbered manhood" bit led me astray.

Using social capital as part of loan underwriting seems like a decent idea. Kind of like what #timebanking is based on. Often, members are allowed to receive services before providing them, i.e. go into "debt" to the timebank, based on the social trust that each person will "repay" that "loan." Not a 1-to-1 concordance, but related concepts, maybe.
