In our world where nothing else seems to count - except MONEY - and where social ethical frameworks vanish (Religion - Family) we need to contemplate about a way to measure TRUST
TRUST is the glue which keeps the society together and is the first emotion we all got exposed to when we very helpless creatures after birth.
We desperately need some sort of NEW way to measure trust and make it visible in a most possible screwed and biased way. Instead of having only MONEY as the candle in the dark - what would be a world like where we appreciate TRUST by the reward of attention.
In other words the qualities of HUMANITY ought to be what we strive for - in addition to material securities. One way to think about it is TURST as a currency (TRUSTOS). This is not another cryptocurrency - it is NOT a start up - there is no monetary interest - and the concept had to be as convincing and pure as any possible.
It is about the fact that generosity or any other of these magical moments ought to be rewarded and made visible. The way to do this will be subjective and not perfect . An algorithm will try to equalize distortion in regard of TRUST - for example a celebrity which receives trust should not be rewarded in the same dimension as a person who has no celebrity status. Or if there was a conflict the algorithm should be able to adjust and reward more TRUSTOS to the two groups in dispute, to enhance mediation and if you want to call it 'healing' of the conflict.
The Person starting that currency has no financial interest - the only power is to be able to adjust the algorithm. The algorithm is visible at all times to the members of the project.
www.trustos.org is an attempt to accomplish that idea - it is not perfect - and again since there is no interest for the founder to gain anything - except that the idea of generosity and humanity is enhanced - the idea is not intended to be guarded.
Anybody is invited to use the idea and run with it.
