That entity may lose reputation or fail badly.\nConsider the Australian jurisdiction where the wheel is patented. The same could happen\nwith our crypto courts.\n\nTo solve this big drawback, it is proposed to be able to convert money from a currency of one court\nto a currency of another court. Every token in our system consist of a court ID and\nan _intercourt token_.\n\nIt is best explained with an example:\n\nConsider the intercourt token HONEST of verifiable honestly earned money. Multiple courts (one entity is not\nenough to check honesty of everybody in the world) may create their currencies like\nHONEST1, HONEST2, ..., HONEST10. Then one would build a court H which would allow all these\nHONEST1, HONEST2, ..., HONEST10 to be converted into its currency. This way we split the work\nof verifying honesty into multiple organizations and have a \"central\" hub that based on their\ndecisions verifies honesty automatically.\n\nNow a payment gateway may accept the money H of our hub, or it may choose to use another hub.\nThere is no really \"central\" hub, it is up to payment gateways and traders to decide which\nmoney they accept and which don't. That's the democratic way to control money.\n\nFor more details, see [the wiki](https://github.com/vporton/courts/wiki).\n\nThis is a project in progress.\n\n# Kind of software\n\nReward Courts is several Ethereum smart contracts with a Web Aragon voting interface around them.\nSo each court usually makes decisions by voting.\n\n## Tech stack\n\n* NPM\n* Truffle\n* Aragon\n* IPFS\n* React\n\n# Installation\n\n## Release mode\n\n(Note: The release mode is not yet tested.)\n\nTODO\n\n## Debug mode\n\n- Install Aragon CLI:\n\n```\nnpm install @aragon/cli\n```\n\n- Deploy the software on your localhost:\n\n```\nnpm start\n```\n\nAfter it starts, you will see the \"Organization address\" like `0x63536EE127797BC675659dCC760A59af073dAaB8`.\nRun\n```\n./debug-setup.sh \u003caddress\u003e\n```\n\nThis script will create a core contract and a court associated with your organization.\n\nAfter this you can mint test (not real) money on your machine.\n\n# Tweaks\n\nYou may need the following tweaks:\n```\nsudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true  go-ipfs@0.4.22 --global\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvporton%2Fcourts","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvporton%2Fcourts","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvporton%2Fcourts/lists"}
