UNILETS: 21 Clicks to your Timecurrency Account
A UNILETS-name@egroups.com timecurrency account simply lists your
offers and wants on the main page which you can change at your
discretion and the messages are a record of your transactions, your
scorecard in Hours of timecurrency gained and spent.
John "The Banking Systems Engineer" Turmel's home page can be
found at: http://turmelpress.com/
There you can visit "Latest Posts" for all the information on how
to make LETS timecurrency work for you as it does for me. In
particular, I would refer you to last year's European tour where I
bartered my time's worth of providing accommodations back home to find
accommodations for 39 nights out of 40 nights in 6 different
countries. Click on "700 LETS in over 40 nations" for my list of
internet connections to already online local time-based currency
systems around the world.
The rules are simple. You can do a transaction with any internet
account though a UNILETS account on a listserv provides a transaction
archive and main page without needing to host a web page. If you owe a
friend a favor, email him an IOU for time worth with a copy to your
UNILETS-lastname-firstname@egroups.com account. If someone owes you or
authenticates a contribution to society, they email it to UNILETS-
lastname-firstname@egroups.com Register any volunteer you have done
yourself or get your agency to email your credit to your account. They
could open their own UNILETS account and register their credits to
others too. It's up to you to imagine new ways to use your account by
contacting existing LETS groups and by inviting anyone to do time
traders. Setting up your UNILETS account is how you connect to the
network.
Here are 21 step by step clicks to create your own UNILETS-
lastname-firstname@egroups.com timecurrency account.

testimony of their help, follow the same steps but change use their
name in 3) and 4) and do EGROUPS STEP 3, then hand over ownership:

JCT: That's it. Sabine's business ecommerce shingle is up in
cyberspace with her UNILETS Timecurrency account set at zero and ready
to register any and all transactions she wishes to do.
If there is someone whose help you would like to reward, just
create your own account, create one for them, and email them a thank
you testimony for their time with financial credits they'll be able to
use within the world-wide UNILETS family. I'll take them and so will
my LETS friends.
If some old lady or or your parents have babysat and you'd like
to testify to their help in a helpful way, taking care of their
UNILETS accounts for them could be one way to pay them back. And it
only takes a quarter of an hour to build.
SENDING SABINE HER "BOUQUET OF THANK-YOUS"
With her new UNILETS account, I send Sabine her a gift for her
efforts.
I started the UNILETS-engineering@egroups.com account to testify
to contributions in engineering UNILETS. I emailed the message:
To: UNILETS-kurjo-mcneil-sabine@egroups.com
Cc: UNILETS-engineering@egroups.com
Subject: Sabine +1000 Hours UNILETS-engineering -1000
JCT: For due to her vigilance is UNC6 UNILETS time-based currency
on the world stage, I sent a "thank you bouquet" for 1000 Hours of
Merit hoping posterity not deem such gratitude excessive or
insufficient. It's a 10 grand American reward which buys her six
months travelling the world's LETS at current UNILETS prices.
Now, if you go to either
http://www.egroups.com/group/UNILETS-engineering
http://www.egroups.com/group/UNILETS-kurjo-mcneil-sabine
you'll see the transaction.
The listserv sends her an email copy of my acknowledgment.
Mine sends me a copy of mine.
And both are transactions are in the egroups archives for public
scrutiny.
And in the final analysis, contributions acknowledged by the
UNILETS-engineering account will be most highly-prized tokens of
achievements of all.
Sabine, why don't you actually print up 1000 certificates of 1
Hour's credit from the UNILETS-engineering@egroups.com account for
your contribution and see if maybe you people will take only one of
your Hour's worth of achievement for the whole night or even the whole
week? And send me one for my collection. Collectors will love these
first ones.
THANK A FRIEND THE UNILETS WAY IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER WAY
So that is how you can set up your own personal Internet
timedollar account, set one up for a friend, and thank anyone you owe
in a tangible way.
All you programmers who have been building LETS pages for other
people, learn to do this and and show them how to make first use their
UNILETS timecurrency account to emailing their first Hour of service
received to you.
