'Final solution' was classified all the way till the end of the war, only some of the party and SS officers knew about the scale of the plan and the name itself. Ordinary Germans, both soldiers and civilians, knew little about it. Any kind of deliberate violence was never on Nazi's electoral leaflets (who would voluntarily vote for it?).

Well, there are some improvements over existing systems (e.g. fiat money):

1. Less costs to switch to a competitor comparing to banks and states which leads to 2. The governance body and all influential members are really in need of public approval of their actions since that is exactly what makes a coin worthy. If they change protocol in a drastic way, the price will immediately plummet leaving them in tatters 3. Same mechanism prevents conflicts within the community

In general I would like to see more about the role of law in economics and possible tech implementations of it (meta-protocols?)
