Description

Computers work great for many things today, but when things get serious and money gets involved i frequently becomes much more difficult to achieve shared goals.
Want to write a document? fine.
Want to write a document collaboratively? also fine.

Same goes for almost all "productive" tasks that doesn't require money and is driven entirely by other needs, like curiousity or a sense of accomplishment or pride.

Money is very powerful. It allows people to achieve shared goals that otherwise would be difficult.

This goal is to integrate the concept of money, ideally through cryptocurrencies (my preferred is BCH, but whatever works, works) in such a way that any user of a KDE based system would be able to interact with an independent economy, similar to how KDE have integrated social media accounts in the platform.

What it will take

To complete this goal, one or more wallets to hold some kind of money would need to be made up to the KDE standards of usability, new configuration options related to this would need to be added to the system settings as well as a how to get started wizard.

Using should of course be optional and if a user wants to skip over they would not have a wallet until they go back and create one.

How we know we succeeded

Having wallets allows us to overcome friction in cooperation and makes it easy and convenient to send value to others, or receive from others. In due time, after this foundation is laid, it might even be possible to create your own, private, inheritence plans and other tools that, traditionally have required help outside the field of personal computing.

Maybe https://discover.cash/ - though it's more marketing oriented for Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Champions

I don't have any particular users or developers that would need to be the champions for this, and instead have described the need to see what response this gets by others.

The team is:
