Basic Banking System
Author: Bart klein Ikink Background Local currencies have proliferated in recent years and a number of transaction systems support those currencies [+]. Linkages between various types of local currencies and co-operative finance organisations are developing. In the United States, Alternatives Credit Union and Ithaca Money have formed a joint board. In southern Germany the Chiemgauer, which is a currency with a holding tax, is being supported by local social and co-operative banks. One of the most used systems is Cyclos. Most existing transactional systems are not able to support a replacement of the current usury financial system by local currencies with a holding tax. Cyclos has been around for many years and it is installed on a large number of locations. System scope The Basic Banking System is a simple system in the functional as well in the technical sense. Small banks should not have to consider organisational design and systems design. Additional information Introduction Roles
2.5D
2.5D ("two-and-a-half-dimensional"), ¾ perspective and pseudo-3D are terms, mainly in the video game industry, used to describe either 2D graphical projections and similar techniques used to cause a series of images (or scenes) to simulate the appearance of being three-dimensional (3D) when in fact they are not, or gameplay in an otherwise three-dimensional video game that is restricted to a two-dimensional plane. Common in video games, these projections have also been useful in geographic visualization (GVIS) to help understand visual-cognitive spatial representations or 3D visualization.[1] The terms ¾ perspective and ¾ view trace their origins to portraiture and facial recognition, where they are used to describe a view of a person's face which is partway between a frontal view and a side view.[2] Computer graphics[edit] Axonometric & oblique projection[edit] Lincity tiles 2D axonometric graphical elements to create a 2.5D game environment.

What’s the definition of a Transition Bank? | REconomy
A post by Shane Hughes. Our banks engage in industrial scale fraud and are more destructive than most of us realise, underming the transiton to a vibrant and resilient world. Given that mainstream banking reform fiddles around the edges, should (or could) our community groups proactively create the banks and banking system we want? Here’s my thinking… With vigor, our entrepreneurs set up energy companies, food coops, bakeries, pubs and repair shops. In this post i try to define a Transition Bank, I’ve covered the negative impacts of the existing banking system at the end of this post but I wanted to cut to the chase and summarise a proposed Transition Bank, with the following equation; Lets look at the equation in more detail. A credit union or similar coop, non profit-type structure - The typical CU structure fits well with many of the criteria for a Transition Enterprise and the Transition Principles especially in the community and profit related areas.
