  • A form of this exists but only compatible with smaller money amounts or whatever your entourage can bring in a bout a year maximum. I don’t know how you call it in English but a dumb translation from Moroccan practice would be “turn around” or “random drawing”.

    Basically you just gather a bunch of people, as many as you can manage and decide on a single share amount, periodicity and number of participants. Each month, every body contributes with the share and somebody takes it home.

    For example, you gather 10 people, and decide periodicity is 1 month. And decide the share is $200. You randomly draw the order of distribution. Some people do ask and negotiate the order of turns. Each month one person gets $2000 ($200 times 10) acorrding to the turns planing.

    Some people can contribute in 2 or more shares. They simply pay a multiple amount of the share and get to get paid in multiple turns. For example you can have only 8 people but 10 turns.

    You could call it turn based contribution.

    Once the whole period is elapsed, every body should have had all of their money back.

    People that have late turns feel like they simply saved money. People that have early turns feel like they got interest free, halal, loans from their friends.









  • I don’t know how long this pace will last. I suspect that bugs are reported faster than they are written, so we could in fact be puffing from the a long backlog (and I hope so).

    It is going to take a given time then stabilizes then decline. I guess maybe a year or so, until all major flaws and bugs are discovered and addressed. Maybe the rust code would help in this. After that it would either go back to normal, which is most likely or developer get up to speed using right tools.

    AI could help accelerate writing fixes for reported bugssmaw as it does for discovering them.




  • There are a few services you van but online that accept crypto. Like hosting provider Vultr. Other things do accept bitcoin like non official student money transfer services.

    But all of this is not as wide spread. I did use it a couple of time for actually transferring money, and also buying a software plus support.

    Of of our clients (fashion) did setup Etherum payments for some physical products and their NFTs and actually got sales.
