this looked like a spectacular idea for a moment, until I saw that Gramicon credits are pretty much only good for delivering onto a charity or shopping with "retailers", I'm assuming that small number of charities/retailers who've made a deal with Gramicon, and Gramicon keeps a hefty portion of the money that's actually gone into the system.

I'd prefer cash without a middleman, so please use http://gittip.com/ instead, which allows knowledge/content creators to become more financially independent overall (giving us more time to answer your questions).

I don't know who your target advertisor or target advertisee is

But, if I were an advertiser, I'd worry that people willing to spend time looking at ad messages for money don't have a lot of disposable income... and thus they are exactly the type of people I don't care about advertising to.

I can't imagine using this. I'm interested in hearing from people with the most interesting things to say, not the ones with the most money.

So, you're not in politics. Or a lobbyist.

You can't stop corruption but you always create an App to make it more efficient.
