The #ValueFlows and @Bonfire folks are very interested in the possibilities of software based on the offers and requests pattern. I think there's even a planned Bonfire flavour with an economic exchange focus, that would include building plugins for offers and requests.

Really interesting piece from my friend and collaborator at #GrowGood using mycelium as a lens for thinking about regenerative economics, mutual coordination, and distributed systems beyond extractive platform models.

just discovered another super interesting and needed work done by @[email protected] and @[email protected] platform.coop/blog/toward-wo...

"Aiming to shift control of delivery work away from a single entity, OpenCourier is a protocol that defines data formatting and communication across a decentralized network of delivery platforms, couriers, and service requesters. Broadly, we aim to enable an ecosystem (Fig. 1) that centers community-owned delivery platforms, where workers — who we refer to as couriers, given their work providing delivery services — cooperatively manage the platform they are a part of. "

Just had a great conversation with @leogaggl and @lynnfoster about value flows, recipes, cooperation, MRV, OFN, DFC and more! Another aspect of the fediverse, and especially social.coop, that I have come to relish and count on.

Excited to connect with https://www.ioer.de/en/projects/switch – and curious to see if https://www.valueflo.ws/ and https://changinggraph.org could become a triple. 🤞

We apply hedonic peer production to optimize #mutualism in order to maximize synergetic #valueflows.

So that all #participants in a #commons and stakeholders in need, are able to #grow and become ⭕ whole. On trajectories of continuous #evolution.

All it takes is to simply:

⚡ #act smartly
🌱 #start smallest
🧧 #invite players
✨ #activate others

#Dreams turn to #solutions where we #realize them together to 😋 satisfy needs.

🔮 Simple solutions still exist.
🫒 Where movements grow,
🫂 People unite!

But we really need a more robust system for employment match-making in the fediverse. The teams working on ValueFlows, @sepheo, and @bonfire, may ideas.

A great introduction to #hREA, the backend software on Holochain to represent complex economic #valueflows with the REA-based ontology.

Building on the work of many, like @lynnfoster and @bhaugen from mikorizal.org and valueflows.ws

Are there personal / small community org applications of #operationsResearch? :moomin_hmm:
Something that keeps popping into my mind is: #Cybersyn but #OCAP .
I guess #valueflows is kind of like this? But that's just a vocabulary.
(No, cryptocurrencies are not what I'm looking for.)

@RuthMalan I followed the traces, finding the idea of #ConversationsForAction again, also used in REA and #ValueFlows (cc @lynnfoster, @bhaugen), already in this 2013 slide 10:

Okay, so the interview with Euclides Mance is up and he hits a lot of hot topics -- I am eager to know what you make of it.

#ValueFlows (VF) built into AP that service physical economy will need to map the physical terrain to the instance terrain in some way. Apples, pies, and sharing trucks need physical proximity.

@jerry

Is figuring out how to integrate #ValueFlows (VF) into instances using #ActivityPub on the #Fediverse development list somewhere?

You are definitely well-connected to the underpinnings of the Fediverse and probably know about planned direction.

Are there plans to make funding all the pieces of the Fediverse (bw, hw, sw, labor) more automatic and integrated into the signup?

I give funds to 2 instances, an infosec person, and ValueFlows dev for a total of $40.35/mo. PayPal and Patreon were easy to set up. It was really hard to figure out how to fund what I think is a critical piece of ensuring longevity of the Fedi-- distributing funds within. The #Bonfire instance gave me the link to VF. Really knowledgeable, involved people are working on VF. I'm not a Dev, but docs there look like it could serve Fedi fund distribution. https://hrea.io/

Are there other plans for making funding better integrated into the Fedi? IMO, systematic financing is the weakest link to a sustainable Fediverse.

Spent my first few days around here trying to figure out a fair share "#subscription". Very few provide an idea of how much would help. sfba.social said about $1000/mo in cost to sustain service (excluding labor). Set up my $10.35/mo for ecosystem infrastructure there.

Knowing an ecosystem needs an immune system, decided to Patreon an infosec person on fedia.io at $10/mo.

An ecosystem also needs a way to move the energy source around the system. Spent some time trying to find where that might be in the #Fediverse. Patreon, Kofi and et al. seem to be the most prominent means at the moment. Found #Bonfire whose protocol includes the #ValueFlows vocabulary. AFAIK, this is closest to an energy transport system for the Fediverse. Maybe there are other vocabularies for creating a circulatory system in the Fediverse.

https://forum.holochain.org/ seems to be where deployments of ValueFlows are being worked (moved to #discord). Exploring more before setting up a subscription.

@anders @atomicpoet my hope is that in part these tools will create the social and economic networks of the future. Friends of mine at http://bonfirenetworks.org/ are building one such tool!
#Bonfire #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Valueflows

@api this is an excellent enumeration & explanation of different ideologies that are driving #protocol / #standards work.
I am curious where you would place domain models like #Valueflows in all this. I think we do pretty well at community building and having use-cases drive the spec. But there is also something worth exploring about domain models in general- those are places where a lot of effort has already gone into useful (pragmatic) abstraction. https://www.valueflo.ws/
