Value Instrument

In development
Active development, Alpha Version to be announced, Proof of concept on Ethereum test net

The governance of the community wallet is up to the community or individual, who installs this particular instance of Value, together with its specific coin dynamic. Within this governance structure the group decides
on how to validate active members, who then get their "wallet" issued. This is an offline process in the current versions of the software. Think of a coworking space issuing branded Value to members,
who register at the front desk anyway, usually presenting a form of ID. Or a village where people really know eachother.
A fake community, creating fake users and fake liquidity, can possibly be detected fast, because you can't buy and receive any real services or products there.
Hence Value currently works as a more decentral, than fully distributed system, with the view to combine Value's core principles with other validation mechanisms in the future.

Blockchain

Will start as an ERC-20, but Blockchain agnostic.

Must have smart contracts or similar functionality.

Social identity

Value is a community-issued currency, initiated by a community "wallet".

Value has not integrated a peer-to-peer web-of-trust dynamic, we instead thought that a similar dynamic would unfold over exchanges, where no one would accept non-reputable community coins for a decent exchange rate or there may be no liquidity at all.

Branded currencies play a vital role in this dynamic, as communites strive to make their currency and community reputable, they will make sure to validate their members.

Social mining

As per choice of chain and Value settings in initialisation

Token economics

Instances of Value can be designed and installed by community to fit their individual needs and projected use cases, following basic principles:

#1 Set amount and frequency of payout
#2 Set lifespan of coins
#3 Set transaction fees and possible taxation
#4 Amounts received burn to 0 within lifespan
#5 Value transferred to others regains full lifetime in the recipient account (therefore needs tx fee to make pingping transfers unattractive).

Governance
