ABSTRACT
In this demo, we will show how a mutual credit-based community voucher or currency integrated with a community-owned network and a local content server could incentivise users to become better custodians of commons infrastructure. This could lead to the generation of more locally relevant digital content and the expansion, use, and stability of a community voucher to support wider local markets that embrace local digital and physical goods and services.
