This is the category page for things regarding contracts

• (TK) When I think of contracts, I think of:
  • (TK) who is responsible for the terms and agreements
  • (TK) who is made aware of the agreement? Is it broadcast to everyone or only a select few people?
  • (TK) who/what is the governing body?
    • (SL) Does there even need to be a governing body?
    • (TK) Essentially who determines whether a contract is fulfilled or not? Should there not be some sort of tracking system to determine whether the requirements of the contracts are completed and once they are the contract is "closed"...
    • (SL) Might have to defer to Justice here...
  • (TK) the first step should be to find a way to verify the different parties involved in the contract.
• (HS) What mechanism can be provided to enforce contracts?
• (SL) Should there be more of a feedback system than COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE?
• (SL) Does every contract have to be about the exchange of quantifiable "goods"?
• (TK) Computer are "citizens" of the "vitual" world. As such contracts are from computer to computer, not person to person. Think about it is a purely resource sharing contracts which are automatically done by computers based on their "individual" needs.
• (SL) Quorum/Contracting system:
  • Announcing identities
  • Announce contracts between entities
  • Gossip system for capability sharing
  • RFP System
• (SL) The metrics or requirements of the contract observed by other nodes in system are subject to an error of margin
