Abstract: A method includes providing, through an agent executing on a computing platform at a data processing device, a capability to a user of the data processing device to form a group of members. Each of the members is associated with a data processing device coupled to the data processing device forming the group through Internet. The method also includes generating, through the data processing device forming the group, a currency to be distributed across the members as a value exchange token for goods and/or services within the group, and providing a capability to each member to participate in management of the currency within the group. Further, the method includes recording currency transactions within the group through a currency server, and implementing demurrage on the currency to incentivize quick spending on part of the members. The demurrage is associated with a decrease in value of the currency over time.

Abstract: A method and/or a system for value analysis and value added concoction of a beverage in a network environment of the beverage is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring a set of opinion data corresponding to a set of attributes defining a beverage through users of a network having a propensity to identify themselves with the beverage using an incentive promoting the beverage to the users. The method also includes applying an algorithm to transform the set of opinion data to factors which affect a market value of the beverage, and determining the market value of the beverage as a function of one or more of the factors. In another embodiment, a method includes generating a formula data to enable a registered user to concoct a variation of a particular type of beverage accentuating one or more intrinsic qualities of the particular type of beverage.
