 Again my 2cent:

 It simply gets to complicated for Joe Average and even I myself would try 
to avoid the hazzles.

 Donkey isn't about "everybody gets perfectly judged and accounted", its 
about "some give more, some give less" and the only disputed point is "what 
about those who take everything for free?"

 Let me point out, that we are not talking about five or ten participants 
in this monetary system, we are talking about several 100.000 users more or 
less randomly connecting here and there. If its too autmatized then there 
is no real need for it and if it takes to much actions from the user it 
gets annoying. Finding the right path between could prove to be very 
critical. Taking a Web-of-Trust to far or building something like an 
full-blown-support economy would be scary ;-)

 But it would also offer an option for commercial distribution with 
realistic conditions. This is some point which is interesting to watch: Why 
wait in long queues when you can get the file at ed2k:amazon.com for 2EUR 
in no time? You could buy special credits at Amazon and thats your way to 
pay.
