I'm very interested in this research!  It includes the "bilateral accounting
scheme" that Doug Barnes and Jim McCoy invented for Mojo Nation (called "soft
credit windows" in this paper), plus a very good idea of how to safely off-load
the token-verification work from a central server to peers.

Actually, this has already happened!  The authors generously mention Mojo
Nation in that paper even though there is no extant documentation describing
the economic aspects of Mojo Nation.
