A 'Real' p2p network? Markus K. over at instructables has come up with an interesting idea of helping other people save money on several different kinds of tickets. The basic idea being to allow others to use any unused minutes etc. left over on your ticket. 'Not new' you say, well he has an ingenious method for sharing. Simple but effective, Markus K. uses cheaply bought plastic clips and stickers to allow anyone to deposit or take tickets that may be of use to themselves or others. It seems mainly concerned with rail tickets but could be used for many kinds of transport tickets, car parking tickets or pretty much any kind of ticket that can be re-used. Take a look at his instructable here http://www.instructables.com/id/E1FA5OS616EXCFB5Q5 Like all good community based schemes it is based on honesty. Though like all sharing networks there will always be some people who take more than they give and those who give more than they take. This does however seem to be a genuine effort to save some people a bit of money, it's not going to make anyone a millionaire, but saving those few euros/punds/dollars every day or week all adds up, not to mention the warm fuzzy feeling you might get from doing something nice for your fellow man. |
