Neutral

I was wondering when somebody would get around to this -- if you ever read the novel/short story collection "Accelerando!" (free e-book download, if you care), this sorta-kinda replaces money in the "new" economy. The idea is that your reputation makes you more or less important to people on the internet (or whatever comes next), and the more you contribute ideas to the common good, the better your reputation is. I can't explain it as well as the book, but it's an intriguing concept and would be really cool to see it take off.
