Ask HN: The money/debt problem

6 pointsby LaPingvinoover 14 years ago
Has any of you tried to tackle the money/debt problem? Any advice for those who would like to try it?<p>I think it must be possible to create an online bank-like system without interest and with control mechanisms to facilitate payment in smaller communities and between friends. What would you think of such a system, any encouragements and tips?

This type of services were kind of popular 4-5 years ago, but never really got a critical mass of users. Some of them also had some troubles with the law and Bank lobbies. Here is a few examples:<p>Zopa<p>Prosper<p>Landing Club

The medium is the message. This means any alternative money systems that would be based or linked to our current forms of money will always suffer from the same problems we're facing today.
