I'd like to create a market for a "wish-based" currency. (Stop laughing).
As dumb as that sounds, I was struck by the idea of what a currency market would look like in some sci-fi techno-utopia (one where nanites or molecular printers can basically provide all utilitarian needs).
Presumably there would still be a need for currency, even if people didn't have to buy things. If I squint, I can almost see Kickstarter as a general example of a very specific "wish-based" market (one where someone has a thing that they want to exist, and other people collectively fund it).
So what could a system look like that was designed to facilitate wishes. Presumably there's some underlying crypto-currency, and a reputation system (which I'd also like to work on).

Anyway, it's at the bottom of my todo list.
