So, this is an idea that I just had. Thought I would post it here to get some feedback and hopefully find people with similar interests...

The idea is about creating an organisation that organises transdisciplinary research... I would personally love to work with that!

Rural Institute for Transdisciplinary Research on Possibilities and Policy Requirements for new Financial Infrastructure based on Cryptographic Techniques (RITRPPRFICT) [ritter & perfect]

The institute organises research on the complex problem of developing new financial solutions that enable sustainable development in both rural and urban environments while at the same time creating stability and resilience on domestic and international financial markets. These solutions are also governance friendly in the sense that they negotiate respectfully with the legal authorities in local, national and international policy environments.The guiding values of the institute are autonomy, clarity, mercifulness and pragmatism. The work of the center is inspired by other organisations in the movement of transdisciplinary research and adheres to the charter of transdisciplinarity from 1994.

Five domains of inquiry are defined in the following way:

1) Geography, institutions and other stake holders
The system here is the earth, the local communities, nation states, and the national and transnational organisations that regulate financial markets. The following institutions are initially identified as pivotal: BIS, the national central banks, private banks, the legislative state structure with the tax authorities and other govering bodies.

2) Current technical opportunities
With a situation of computers in a lot villages and homes - there is the possibility to construct software through which private persons can take some responsibility for supporting financial infrastructure and their own processing of financial transaction and storage of monetary value. Enabling technologies are protocols such as MaidSafe, Ripple, and Bitcoin. With these technologies banks and private citizens can collaborate in a system that promotes financial security and stability.

3) Software applications for a bank at home
The application will perform the three basic funtions of money: to store, measure and enable purchusing things both online and in stores. It contributes to financial stability through an automated portfolio balancing strategy that is geared towards sustaining the stability on currencies in the system as a whole. The application recieves data from the outside world regarding value of products in different currencies as well as changes in value of currencies in relation to eachother. 

4) The transnational arena for financial transactions including currency speculation
From the perspective of the local, a global perspective is developed. Here the questions concern international institutions such as the BIS and the IMF and their relationships with nation states and local communities. The impact of large speculative financial flows are considered and issues of national debt and forreign aid are analyzed.

5) A fifth prism for analysis is the uban-rural perspective. Possibilities of synergies between the pulsating cultural and manufacturing life of the city and the beautiful and food producing environments of the countryside are explored.

I am starting to learn about automatic trading platforms....   Where is the frontier of this development happening right now???   

So this thread is already on top of this....   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=109317.0

Hope some updates will come soon on that thread!   =)

Is there a good wallet with such automatic features that you can recommend?

Hello!

I would love to have an application - kind of like a bittorrent client - that would automatically rebalance a portfolio with a number of cryptocurrencies. I would like to be able to choose which currencies I want and also to choose the desired ratio between them.

Is there such an application out there already? If not, would it be possible to create one, maybe using the ethereum platform?

If such a program would become a popular way of investing money, this could have a stabilizing impact on the value of the cryptocurrencies, which would be really good for the industry as a whole, don´t you think???

Would it not be nice to have a service that could automatically rebalance a portfolio with a number of cryptocurrencies? With rebalancing i mean that when there is a change of the value of one of the currencies, it is bought or sold so as to keep the ratio between the currencies in the portfolio constant.

Do you know of such a service being developed?

Could a service for automatic portfolio rebalancing be developed out of this?


Just posted this in the ethereum forum: http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/1844/automatic-portfolio-rebalancing/p1

Yes, that is a problem, Danny.. I suppose the group that would issue these notes will have to work very hard on their credibility.   

Maybe this is just mission impossible.

Cool however to see that it is being done on the above video!

I would love to see this happening on paper currency in my country. This way i know that the notes are interest free.

Maybe this is not a new idea, but i just came to think of a nice way to have paper notes in the Bitcoin system.

I bitcoin note would be like a paper wallet (with a private and a public key) but with the keys hidden.

As long as the note is circulated the keys remain under some safe protection (under a lightproof film or something).

Then when someone wants to "cash in" on the note then he or she removes the film, makes a payment to the own account. The notes is then of course rendered useless.
