I've been working on getting this built for the last year and a half and have reached a technical roadblock. So now I'm reaching out to find 2500 people to throw $10 each into the pot to get my dream built. All of that money is going to pay for the skills that I don't have, I'm not keeping any of it. Everything you see on the site has been donated. All the work that has been put in has been by one of about 70 volunteers. I am a man on a mission and I'm going on a cross-country awareness campaign tomorrow (from Montreal to BC then down to California) to get people to know about JoatU. Please help us out and please ask me anything!

The Jack of all trades universe is both a space to trade/sell/give/lend anything for anything within a few miles of where you live AND a currency generator that lets people self-fund projects that the community deems worthy. Want to build a community garden, teach a public class, volunteer at a nonprofit and get paid for it in a local currency? Now you can.
