Peer to Peer Commerce - PCommerce February 10, 2006

Peers within a Peer-to-Peer network can provide a lot of various resources, e.g. information, disk space, memory space or computing power, and they can deliver different services, e.g. create or provide files, compute complex calculations or act as a required part of the network.

To avoid “free-riding” on these resources, contents or services and to balance out the relationship between providers and consumers, market mechanisms have to be established. This requires a fundamental framework which reflects peer-based business models and allows market participants to offer, discover, and consume required resources. Furthermore, mechanisms for accounting and payment between involved peers have to be adopted.

Project balance aims to discuss belonging questions, to design a suitable concept, to develop an applicable framework, and probably intends to invent a new form of Peer-to-Peer-based eCommerce, a so called pCommerce.

P-Commerce is a radical changes to today’s Interent service models, as we all know, that for the last decades, what we have done to internet ,is plus plus behavior which we use the nember of web pages as an index to show the progress. P commerce give us a new entering point to make minus-plus balacing process, that is a ideal scenerious.
So my suggestion is like the P Commerce with the native kernel with instant balacing
