@maiki It seems like a cool project to explore to learn things. I don't think I'd enjoy the precious spare time I have in my life being consumed by the decisions of others though... too much to be done already!

Also kind of a disturbing article, with an IPO rather than ICO: https://www.wired.com/2013/03/ipo-man/

@cwebber @maiki I can't tell whether this idea is legitimately interesting, or grossly misinformed.

@deadsuperhero @maiki So, I mean he is restricting the amount of time-coins being sold sort of. But it does seem like after work and sleep selling off the autonomy of your spare time is well... I dunno, maybe harsh on yourself

@cwebber @maiki It just doesn't seem to have any real utility that makes the currency itself valuable in any way, shape or form.

The idea that "We'll all have our own cryptocurrencies" through the perspective of our present reality seems stupid and impractical.

@deadsuperhero @maiki well it's an interesting piece of performance art anyhow

@deadsuperhero @cwebber I think it is less about creating individual crytocoins, and rather research into branded Ethereum contracts or assets or whatever.

I honestly haven't looked into it as much, but I'll be tracking Evan's project so I learn more. I would like to be able to dedicate time in an asset and allow people that support my work a way to fund it. Ether might be a way.

@maiki @deadsuperhero It'll be an interesting piece of performance art no matter what :)

@cwebber @maiki I think it's an interesting project but I also think it's impossible to enforce.

The mind is not kind to taskmasters, whether self-inflicted or otherwise. If he schedules each moment of his day as strictly as he says he will then he's deluded because bio-breaks, kid-commitments, and the like are going to eat into that. Show me someone who perfectly schedules their whole day out and I'll call them a liar and a charlatan. It cannot be done.

@craigmaloney @cwebber I don't think that is much different than how value is "enforced" with any other asset. Evan speaks to that in the post, about the value changing based on the quality of the time spent.

@maiki @craigmaloney I think that's right, the value of the currency will also drop if people feel Evan is being fraudulent.

It's a weird game to play, and I'm not gonna do it myself, but interesting to think about.

Nonetheless, good luck to Evan(Coin)!

@maiki @cwebber Right, but he misses a key point: the quality of time that isn't bought. And what if he oversells a block of time?

He's essentially creating a market for his time, much like we do, sve for we don't have the benefit of having multiple suitors at the same time that we can attract.

Also; if someone splits the currency into half-minutes? That should be interesting since context switching is never free or instant.

@craigmaloney @cwebber that is one of the risks the early adopters will deal with: how reliable are the services that provide the primary market for #EvanCoin (first tag!).

Also, you ought to enumerate the issues with the plan for Evan. I am sure e would appreciate the feedback, and then may even be some, um, EvanCoin in it for ya!
