1) Participants post summaries of their active projects and related
Innocentive-style prize challenges in a NextEdge Breakthrough Wager
page, and agree to update their profiles at least once each week
during a two-month trial period
2) Each participant recieves 1000 NextEdge Breakthrough currency
points upon completing the profile, with another 50 added per
week.
3) Participants go about their respective activities. When a person
comes across something of apparent value to a posted
Innocentive-style prize, he or she forwards the link to the prize
offerer. The subject line contains something like "Mark Frazier
wagers 200 points that http://is.gd/openworldgame will be useful to
Devin Balkind in getting land for his intentional community."
4) The originator of the prize challenge wins all of the wagered
currency in the event that he or she deems the resource link to be
of no value. (A notice of this, plus a brief note on the reason it
lacked value, would be sent to the person who made the bet to help
tune any future wagers) But if it had some value, the prize giver
might send back (for example) 100 Breakthrough Currency credits - a
signal that the better was somewhat close, but not quite
understanding what the prizegiver was seeking. And the "jackpot"
prize would be given in the (rare) cases when a person deemed their
Breakthrough Challenge to be completely solved.
Such flows could help individuals build substantial holdings of
NextEdge Breakthrough Currency by consistently delivering items of
value. This would provide a way for other Next Edgers to more
quickly recognize highly successful curators.

doing?
- Are creators of alt-currency apps willing to customize their
solutions for a subgroup pilot?
- Will participants in the pilot find it useful?
- If they do, will a Kickstarter or similar pledge drive get enough
backing to prepare a NextEdge-wide community solution?

1) Participants post Innocentive-style prizes in a NextEdge (link
coming to sample profile) and agree to update 2) The credits would
go to those who create a profile of their project interests on a
Next Edge wiki. Profiles could include a section on key bottlenecks
that a person was facing on a current or planned project - and a
Innocentive-like prize for a breakthrough. One way to launch might
be to start with an "attention wager" system. Everyone might have
1000 credits reserved up front with another 50 added per week.
Then, we'd all go about our respective activities. But when we come
across something that we're kinda sure could help on one of the
bottleneck issues, we'd place a bet with the person facing the
problem. I might find an item that I think would help Paul, the
franchise school founder in Australia, improve student graduation
rates (assuming he said that was one of his top problems). I'd pull
75 credits out of my account and wager the item was worth his
attention. I'd be out the whole amount if the item proved worthless
to him. But if it had some value, he might send back 50 of the
credits - a signal that I was close, but not quite understanding
what he wanted (he could describe why the bet fell short in his
transfer. Or say he was delighted, even if it wasn't worthy of the
full Innocentive Prize he had posted. In that case, he might award
100 credits back to me, leaving me with a net gain of 25 credits -
and good signals on how I might go further and win the full prize.
I think this system could be quite useful to all of us, not least
for the developers of the various kinds of currencies and toolkits.
Their sharing issues/problems could be a good way for the rest of
us to get up to speed and be helpful. Does this make sense? I'd be
glad to put up a wiki page on it, but would prefer to do it after
one of the founders of the New Currency conversation creates an
intro and preliminary framework for the NC wiki. Look forward to
next thoughts and actions on how we can follow up.
