You're most welcome and thank you for your explanation as well. It all makes sense to me, and is in line with the overall vision of the project.

Additionally: The KEY aspect of the project is to enable people to both give things away they do not need, and trade things they no longer need with others, for things the other person has, that they want. This defines the trade aspect.

The barter aspect is the other KEY aspect, and is for doing things like user1 has potatos growing in garden, and wants to get piano lessons. user2 just so happens to want potatos, and can give piano lessons. They talk, and negotiate 4lbs of potatos per week, for 3 (1) hour piano lessons.

the barter aspect mentioned immediately above, is what defines the site and makes it different than any other market place i've seen on the web, to date. as far as i know, the combination of barter aspect, free / trade aspect, AND marketplace with either dollars or crypto/lightning... has never to this date, been done before.

This is what makes it exciting though, the combination of these things, can create a very scalable and powerful thing for people that I feel is lacking right now.

Additionally I agree that the underlying backbone of the thing can strengthen the overall design therein that it must be robust, and agile to the above scenarios as well, to be the most effective and thus a truly useful offering.

There are many people who have lots of skills, but don't have money, and many people who have lots of money but don't have skills. This site is meant to bridge that divide, and leave room for the inbetween use cases to flourish and create a better world through this type of cross vertical, flexible cooperation.
