I had this idea that now with all them blockchains, eventually favors will be tracked and traded like any commodity using a blockchain.

in essence, this is just tracking all that is exchanged using technologies.

on one hand, a lot of corruption happens over personal favors between powerful individuals. which makes me think this kind of thing will never take off.

this is part of a larger half-baked idea I had about anybody anywhere being able to 'emit credit'. doing a favor being a way to cash in on their emited credit.. or something like that.




Favors not being 'visible' or 'tracked' is the _whole point_

If everyone knew who owned favors to whom, they would be able to maneuver around.
