Sounds like the Craigslist problem: the people wishing to pay via barter generally have the least financially-valuable skills and products. I think this is where most microcurrencies fall down: those whose products and services are adequately priced in regular currencies have no incentive to adjust to a microcurrency that suddenly makes one massage worth five oil changes.
