Not if IndiaMikeZulu has its way! We wanna see every farmhouse on our 100-mile stretch eventually set up with an Unobtanium wallet.

Actually this is the perfect business model. And not pie-in-the-sky.
Local social-business networks. Okay. Still abstract, loose.
But specific to a spot on the World map. Now we are talking. Also, this maybe "the product" that is identified with uno.
Anyone in the audience need more convincing?
1. Farmers operate day in day out on trust ... example ... Farmer Joe does $15k of harvesting for Farmer Bart trusting he will get his $15k in 6 weeks. Why because Farmer Bart lives 3 farms over and his family has owned tthe land for 80 years, and he pays on time for the last 7 years.
2. Social Networking ... see above ... but the old fashion kind ... word of mouth face 2 face.
3. Farmers generate $2000-$800 of gross income per acre. Literal cash crops. Everybody needs to eat too.
4. Farmers have keen business senses, else their wife does, if your a farmer and dunce about finance you ain't a farmer for too long.
Now if farmers can settle up for a couple of eggs, some fresh veggies, a milk goat with UNO on a smart phone.
Well then they start to think about doing the same for 50 head of cattle. That's about $50k last I checked.

excellent write up!
i'm disturbed by the 'none notice'.
in all forms of contracting at least 2 weeks notice before adjustments to the fee schedule take place.
any business with clients knows that.
IN THE BUSINESS OF MONEY ... not giving notice is stunning ... and reveals gross incompetence else certain malintent.
they need to act like fuduciary agents because they are.

yes team effort all the way
and some do more than others
but make sure you are rewarded via holding equity
this is the best route to re-imbursment
but the guys with quality C++ skills, and general mastery of coding
yeah i am cool with scheduling them first and foremost for some form of regular compensation
aka formal work for fixed pay
but this is stuff we discuss once in the $10-$20 range.
my position is that coders can be paid for labor
and hope is that we can actual offer a salary position once things get going.
but the best solution is to partner with other coin communities to create a coder studio or lab
(these positions differ from the job of Dev)
