   I’d say that the software you require is already in use, OS, it’s
   decentralized and it fits your requirements to work on a local scale or
   global. IVTS, value transfer systems such as Loom.cc or Trubanc.com are both
   already online and working. Skype me for info anytime. ‘digitalcurrency’
