The Whuffie Bank A nonprofit organization dedicated to building a new currency based on reputation that could be redeemed for real and virtual products and services.
And from their twitter profile (@whuffiebank); In a world where reputation is wealth, only those that do good and well onto others are the richest.
And here is what Wikipedia has to offer. "Whuffie is the ephemeral, reputation-based currency of Cory Doctorow's science fiction novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. This book describes a post-scarcity economy: All the necessities (and most of the luxuries) of life are free for the taking. A person's current Whuffie is instantly viewable to anyone, as everybody has a brain-implant giving them an interface with the Net. The term has since seen some adoption as a synonym for Social capital, including its use in the title of the Tara Hunt book The Whuffie Factor.
