From P2P Foundation
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I have been helping since the early days of the Internet, always positive, always supportive, nudging along gently. Indeed, I love helping, and with time, I've come to realize it is one of my purposes as a being in this universe.

Main Activities

  • Founder at OpenWallet, a for-profit approach to empowering neglected communities, bring to them the power of internet commerce and P2P currencies.
  • Contributor at TIE, a for-profit approach to end death from hunger in third world countries. The system relies heavily on P2P behaviors and flows, and utilizes mesh networking technologies.
  • Contributor at the Open-Knesset movement in Israel working towards drastically increasing government transparency. People share ideas with each other, and collaborate using an open source platform they themselves develop, with little or no help from the government.

Past failures

  • Attempted to bring P2P payments to Israel in 2005 with InterWallet.com, with a successful pilot program which lasted a year, and enabled thousands of P2P transactions to happen (after which the company closed down).
