I'm interested in building and experimenting with P2P-enabled economic
models and software for PC/mobile for implementing those models.

As you may know, right now I'm working on this model:
http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Social_Currency_Model

We've started specifying the simulation scenarios and the step after that is
to code the software

When people have a tool that works as advertised and does something
dramatically better they will use it.

We are building one such tool. And there will be many.
