That's an interesting idea and angle.

While reading "The Dispossessed"[1] and thinking about the way syndicates work there, I had this (generic, not-worked-out) thought about some form of protocol for creating co-ops of the kind mentioned, and then running and enforcing the rules (including e.g. equal dividend payment / whatnot).

I wonder if someone has considered implementing some kind of a co-op system in Ethereum (where contracts are transparent and enforced and no single node is responsible for running the code). :)

Hmm, taking ideas from anarcho-syndicalism and implementing them in Ethereum....

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dispossessed - this is a nice book indeed.



Definitely in the works. Check out http://boardroom.to/

Its allows any arbitrary ownership rules, so it works for co-ops as well as shareholder corporations


Thanks, looks interesting, will check out their whitepaper!

Interesting architecture in regards to their "General Hook Middleware" and other ways of implementing "middleware contracts" (for things such as company payroll). Curious stuff...

edit yeah, this is interesting. Do you know how close this is to a working implementation? I see some "pre-alpha" screenshots etc.
