Community Currencies
NOT Blockchain
An all-embracing and flexible package which includes a mutual credit ledger, super-configurable transaction forms and displays, including several views and blocks. It can be used as a digital back-end for paper money projects, or to run an entire LETS, Timebank. Autopayments are possible and periodic payments require a little custom code.
Features
- Fieldable transactions
- design your own transaction forms
- pending transactions with email invitations to 'sign'
- min/max balance limits determined via plugins
- full views integration
- visualisation & stats
Time Banks, LETS, B2B
Community currency projects should find that this module works almost out of the box, but if you have no resources to commit to properly customising such a web site, you should think carefully about whether you have the resources to nurture a new economy! This is not a shop, a cart, or an ecommerce system, but a mutual credit system which tracks credit extended between users.
Contrast with userpoints in which points are awarded to users for their online activity.
Community Forge
The main user of the module is the nonprofit Community Forge which offers free hosted sites designed for LETS / Time Banks with its distro.
Versions and architecture
Multiple currencies are handled by v5 but are discontinued in v6. Read up on architecture of v5 for Drupal 8/9. Version 6 is based much more on the Credit Commons Protocol, which enables mutual transactions between sites via a 3rd party 'trunkward' node.
