Or something like that¹. As per this article on Control Markets I am looking to experiment with them. This requires an organization of some sort. This post is my first step to the creation of the organization.

My skills are in technology and not UI or people particularly. So I have mainly been doing what I know², working around my day job.

So I decided it probably wasn't the best path, I was likely to get distracted and lose focus by myself. So other people would be useful.

There are three rough ways this can be attempted:

1. Try and create a swanky high profile website to spark interest: Get a co-founder type person/team.   Stay stealthy and make a nice web app for managing funge for a charity based on exploring control marketers using personal funds to start with, get on social media. Raise money from donations to maintain infrastructure, refine the web app and possibly fund academic research on control markets when people can try it out for themselves. This webapp can then be open sourced for other people to use.
2. Get the theory started: Start a small organization with volunteer Actors and bootstrap using a google spread sheet to record funge transfers and bids, initially, and then use lessons learnt from that process to inform the design of a webapp. Leading to
3. Get someone who regularly wants to talk about control markets, just to keep focus.

So what is possible with people from lesswrong? And which would people advise? Or is there a different way to attack this problem.

I've thought about kickstarter, but I don't think it is within the ToS. Also I would want a decent demo/visuals before trying this style of thing.

I suppose there is also.

• Create a webapp. Sell it as the next big thing for management consultants. But this is so far outside my comfort zone, I don't know I could do it.

¹ I would want to use a kitty for a logo if we went with this name. This is probably why I shouldn't be allowed to make these sorts of decisions.

² I've been noodling around with a django backend using tastypie to make a restful API, I was thinking about using AngularJS on the client (which I would need to learn). Still needs a lot of work. I also have a bad habit of wanting to make it highly available/scalable and other such things that aren't appropriate at this point.
