trust_hive progress report

Since we don't have a technical support system, I just sent round an email to everyone in the trust. Because it took a day to go round the houses, there was a little more money flow and so the end figures were out somewhat.

Still, at the time of this posting, it looks like the trust is currently playing around with $70.55. Small discrepancy due to a tip going to someone outside of the trust (perhaps), or this figure is out of date. No idea. If things get more significant, then we will no doubt have to have some kind of tracking system, but for now this will do.

I am living in edinburgh and thus I am not really in an ideal position to tip much. That leaves a linear relationship with mamading central between hannah and sofia. That means that the system should tend for the money to collect at mamading. Interesting stuff.

I will see if there are people in edinburgh I can trust to usefully be part of the trust. Most of my friends are plugged into the system, working in university or within the council, so their efforts are almost entirely outwith my feedback loop. I can't tip them because I have no idea what they are up to. I played tron last night ;(we lost) and I spoke with my fellow teammates a little. I might trust one of them enough to invite them in, but that just creates another little line off me, making me central between two distinct networks. Interesting. I think there is something about critical masses in closed networks, eg the hive. An equivalent might be the tron team. I might actually start another trust, with eg tron team, but I have no idea whether I should put in another $25, or not. No idea, hehehe.
