Default Bartering

I would like to use 68c for bartering.
I would like users to be able to trade goods or services for credits and those credits traded to be tracked in there account.
Example, Mike mows a lawn for Ben and Ben pays Mike 20 credits. Mike takes his 20 credits and buys a pizza from Bills Pizza Place. Now Bill owns the credits. Bill needs his car tuned up and uses credits earned for that purpose and so on.
Can the script be modified to track credits in this way?
Can Ben transfer credits to Mike?
Hopefully you see my point.
Thanks,
Bradford

There is no credit system at all designed into the system, its designed to sell classified ads. With that in mind however if you have enough skill with PHP you could probably add that functionality.

It can totally be done with investment, either your own time or get a developer. I think the idea of that site is brilliant. A bit of good old fashioned communism (not the corrupt type)

Bradford - what you're describing is another form of currency. More specifically, a "Local Currency". The biggest obstacle in making this work is to get people put faith in the 'credits' and recognize they have value.
