Boox
Peersite uses Boox, the really simple double-entry API, to support a
virtual currency infrastructure so members can easily exchange value between
each other.
Proper Accounts
Peersite records the transfers of virtual currency between members in proper,
fully-auditable double-entry accounts.
Peersite
Peersite is a suite of tools to build a social market network running on Java. It is divided
into a number of different libraries, each of which typically consists of three packages:
- a base package of interfaces and classes for plain old java objects;
- a custom tag library for use in java server pages
- a package of servlets to process the specific input from the custom tags

Peersite alpha release
Peersite has been released on Sourceforge.net. It contains the modules needed
to set up a basic social market network. You will need to write the front end - the
web pages and style-sheets - for your application, while the Peersite modules maintain
data and manage the database. Peersite-Basic handles registration and authentication, and
supports SMS membership confirmation as an alternative to CAPTCHAs. It also provides
group/friend, discussion, one-click payment and member emailing modules.
Peersite customisation
Platosys Technology can help you use Peersite to produce a custom website meeting your requirements.
Platosys can provide anything from a priority support service for your inhouse developers to a
turnkey package with full project management. Where practical we will operate on a fixed-fee
basis, with payment based on deliverables.
Social
Peersite implements all the standard social-networking conventions such as "groups" and "friends" -
which use the same underlying technology.
Blogoforufaq
Peersite implements a forum-style discussion space with comments, which can spawn new discussions.
This feature, within Peersite, is referred to as a "commentary", but the precise name is customisable
depending on the application. It can be used as an interactive faq, as a blog with comments, or as a forum.
Market
Peersite is a social market network. Every feature of Peersite - the members, the groups, the commentaries
(forum/blog/faq postings) is created with an associated account, under the control of the
feature's owner, for accumulation or payment of real or virtual currency - we suggest
that in most cases it should be virtual.
The potential applications for social market networks are considerable - the scope is limited
only by your imagination
The association of some value with minor transactions acts as a market deterrent
to spam, and allows a market value to emerge, or to be imposed, on network interactions
Consultancy
We can apply our expertise and understanding of social market networks to your requirements,
helping you to think through how a social market network could support and develop your business, and
implementing a customised one based on Peersite
Network
So-called social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook aren't strictly networking
sites at all: they're single-point services, aiming to corral all their users into
one place. This doesn't really make use of the full potential of the network
Peersite, as it currently stands, is also a single-point application, but one of the
possibilities we are most excited about is the potential for linking multiple Peersite
installations so that members can exchange credits earned on one site for credits to
be spent on another.
We are only slightly worried by the possible tax implications: we have authentication, security and
other implementation challenges to consider first!
Commission us
We'd love someone to commission us with the necessary resources to work through these
challenges, but in the meantime, we'll have to do it when we can
