Overview

I have developed a system (LocalMart) which establishes a local currency and gives it an internet Ecommerce capability. Each vendor/provider gets a web site presence and shopping cart, with the local currency used for payment for online purchases. It also has the capability to make local currency payments or funds transfers via mobile phone, making the issuance of a paper local currency almost unnecessary. LocalMart encourages all members to become providers of some locally produced, sustainable product or service so as to increase local self sufficiency and "close the loop" locally. LocalMart allows conversion to and from the local currency to dollars, and has other features including a microloan capability and social networking site so that members can interact, form or join groups, and otherwise communicate.
I would like to begin to implement this and would welcome a discussion if there is any interest. My web sites are:
