Ok, it makes sense now.

You are referring to a mutual (p2p) accrediting between individuals as
a way of recognizing one another as a legitimate source or trusted
participant in a system.

I wonder if there might be a way that we can put this into practice
over time between the two of us? It doesn't matter to me so much which
site, software/technology, or currency we use, so much as what we
choose to transact around (after all, on a smaller scale with just a
few participants, we could even track in a google spreadsheet or
something similar for example)

So, what should we sell each other, trade, or share with each other, Dante? :-)
