Guidelines


Guidelines

  • Remember that you absolutely can share things with each other without using this trading system, i.e. just out of neighbourliness. Ultimately it's up to you and your sharing/trading partner to figure out for yourselves.
  • 20 samaras should be thought of as roughly equivalent to one hour of your time. For exchanges where labour is not the determining factor, it's up to you to figure out how much to charge. Just keep in mind that, as a general exchange rate, 20 samaras = 1 hour.
  • Make sure you agree on the amount of samaras that will be transferred before you start work.
  • You can sell your goods or services in part dollars and part samaras only where you have to pay for inputs in your national currency, for example if you're driving for someone you can charge them samaras for your time and national currency for your petrol. In all other cases, please use samaras rather than dollars.
