[p2p-research] tale of a stolen computer

[marc fawzi]

If the Fundable experiment works (if people use the Fudnable application to
donate to Michel) then we would see that it works (i.e. people like to use a
transparent zero-risk way to raise funds with others) and we would be
encouraged to raise some money to clone Fundable (on fundable itself!!! to
make a statement, which I think is an important aspect to ths storytelling
afterwards) then outsource and manage the development of it, collectively.
It's very simple to build a similar application, and then we can all be
proud of creating a true p2p alternative (i.e. one without outrageous fee)
that serves our own money needs... and currencies can be built on top of
that, etc, although that's extremely far thinking, but I wanna explicitly
state where I see us going with this... if it works.

In any case, I'm committed to closing the Fundable fund successfuly,
including donating the full amount. Michel could use any contribution. He
has delivered immense value and deserves maximum support, especially when it
creates an opportunity for us to make the change we want happen, through
careful but bold steps!
