Voting
Eligible Reputations
-Each successful cycle attendance for a set of eligible cycles gives you one vote. We currently allow only reputations older than the previous cycle but younger than the reputation lifetime (relative to proposal submission) to participate in the vote. This is because the count of those reputations is not subject to change anymore. We need a reliable count of all eligible reputations in order to determine the maximum amount of possible votes (the electorate), which is required for AQB and to determine the minimum turnout.

Your own voting power depends on the number of cycles you have attended during the eligible period. The more cycles you have attended during this period, the more voting power you have. This is a sybil-resilient approximation of universal suffrage which rewards your dedication to participate in community cycles regularly. Thanks to the reputation lifetime, however, there is no undue bias towards longtime community members as only recent reputation is eligible for voting.

So for example, if a community wants to extend their region by adding some new meetup locations, only community members should be allowed to participate in the vote.
Proposals
There is a set of predefined proposal actions that can be proposed and voted on. Everyone can start a proposal on any action (ie. set basic income to 48 LEU) at any time. There can even be multiple proposals ongoing in parallel.
-Every member of the community can use their personhood reputation to vote on each proposal. A proposal gets approved if has enough Aye votes continuously for a long enough time period.
+Every member of the community can use their personhood reputation to vote on each proposal. A proposal gets approved if it has enough Aye votes continuously for a long enough time period.
Practical Examples
Let's assume a proposal has been submitted at the end of the last registering phase. During the first day, the proposal doesn't reach the minimal turnout yet, but on day two it enters the passing state and the confirmation period starts. More people make up their mind and vote Nay, so the proposal drops out of confirming state before the end of the confirmation period. Over time, more Aye votes are coming in and the approval threshold is surpassed. This time, the proposal stays in the passing state during the entire confirmation period gets approved. Any community member can call the lazy evaluation and the proposal action will be scheduled for enaction at the start of the upcoming registering phase.

While there are political reasons to favor such a unifying currency, many economists doubt the concept. States with less economic growth have no option of devaluing their national currency.

Alice can later spend her 100$ balance in a trade with Charlie, who may be interested in a service Bob provides. Businesses are often allowed to have negative balances in the order of their usual turnover for a few months. These schemes rely on a local authority that performs due diligence when accepting new members and bans defaulters. Examples are barter networks like Talent or business exchange networks like WIR , RES . Mutual credit usually comes with high transaction costs. You might not always find the product you are looking for and it may be challenging to accept such currency for payment if you don't know where to spend it later. In an economic environment of deflation, when there is a shortage of money because banks are reluctant to issue credits, mutual credit has shown to be of great value [1].

Often they have circulating paper bills, sometimes featuring demurrage. What they all have in common: They are only circulating within a local community and are worthless elsewhere. Often, they are redeemable for national currency, sometimes subject to a small fee. Sometimes redemption is restricted to businesses. On the bottom line, such currencies can be understood as a loyalty programme promoting local spending, sometimes incentivized with discounts. They are successful in strenghtening the spirit of local community [1] and they can mitigate unemployment in an environment of deflation (Wörgl). However, due to globalization, local goods are often more expensive than imported ones. Therefore, these currencies are not attractive for poorer members of the community if they have to buy the local currency with national currency in the first place. Grassroots Economics' Sarafu Credit in Kenya is a very innovative approach that shows significant social impact by empowering poor neighbourhoods by issuing money to local businesses directly. However, their concept introduces complexity, as money supply and distribution so far relies on careful engineering by experts from outside the community, for each community specifically. Moreover, Sarafu Credit is backed by donation money.
