I believe I just read http://www.singleguymoney.com 's post about bartering. It wasn't based on the time spent but rather a mutual agreement between persons.

Timebanking basically means giving an hour of your own time in exchange for someone else’s hour. Here’s how it works - you visit a local time bank and take on a task that someone has listed - let’s say it’s three hours of painting. You go do that, then you get three hours of credit to use on the site. You can then use that credit to post a job that you want done - three hours of, say, garden work. This seems like a good idea on one level, but you have to find people that are willing to say one hour of their specific type of work is worth an hour of another type of work.

Yea, the system as a whole - if viewed in terms of common "value" is likely flawed, but my hunch would be that it would create some animosity if a lawyer could come in and offer legal advice for an hour in exchange for a math teach having to tutor for 10 hours. While I understand why our monetary system rewards some professions and not others, I kinda think it is cool that they are all on the same "playing field" @cam

I was implying that as good natured as I may be, my hour's worth of work may not actually be helping. But you're right. I checked out the website and the idea is about encouraging people to help on a community level (and not necessarily on a global scale). But doesn't that negate altruism? If I deposit hours without withdrawing any in return, I become "rich" and (I assume) am labeled as a "good person." @ Bob I hope I didn’t imply I wanted more benefit from the system.
