--------------------------------A Generalized Multi-Tier Barter Exchange System for Reducing Speculative Behavior----------------------------------------------------
I have tried reaching out to you in the past, I believe the first time was when I was 7 and I thought you'd give me a $1M for some ideas on how to improve windows. :-P lind@execpc.com in 93 or 94 if you want to check your records.

Now I've been in the professional IT business for 20 years in various capacities, at 10 I was working for stock at Geocities, Tom Evans (Thomas.Evans444@gmail.com) and I still keep in touch.

I dropped out of high school after my junior year to attend Marquette University, as a sophomore, in EECE and dropped out of MU after junior year to turn my internship as a programmer at Fortis Health insurance, where I was hired directly by the CIO Roger Jones (rjones@mba1976.hbs.edu), into a full time position.

Since then I have worked my up to Solution Architecture consulting, exclusively on the Microsoft Stack and currently I am the Lead .NET Architect for Hallmark Data Systems on a large AS400 migration project.

You can also ask Steve Ballmer about me, I sent him an email entitled "From a Microsoft Zealot" and he replied to that. However in a manic state I went off the deep end and started basically spamming people crazy stuff. I am now on medication and have been completely stable for 2 years.

I sent the research to John Nash along with some comments about how his overcoming his mental illness had inspired me to do the same, and he replied with some very encouraging comments about continuing my work and taking care of health. (RIP)

Basically I wrote some theory around how Exchange Medium drives Speculative behavior. My solution is to move the economy to a barter exchange that can trade goods and services in a multi-tiered fashion, so n-way transactions are possible. http://www.lind-i.com/Docs/OnExchangeMediumandSpeculation.pdf

I have implemented an initial prototype in C#/.NET http://www.lind-i.com/Docs/AGeneralizedCommodityBarterExchangeEngine.docx
