[governance] Payswarm

[Norbert Bollow]

Dear all

Just a quick note to alert you all that I think that the payswarm stuff
that Manu Sporny will be discussing in workshop No. 160 “Emerging
issues for fair trade and taxation of virtual goods” (Wednesday 23
October 2013, 16.30-18.00 in room Uluwatu 5) is very important for a
variety of reasons, including some that many civil society people feel
strongly about, for example because it promises to bridge
international divides in online payments.

It's fundamentally a decentralized, openly-standardized, open source
implemented, easy-to-use, URL-based payment system approach, while
they're also very careful to stay on the right side of the law in
regard to taxation and regulation issues.

Greetings,
Norbert
