Right now, the hackers that are developing the Mojo Nation
infrastructure are earning "beta Mojo" by running servers and
uploading files.  Once the beta period is over (which will be very
soon -- as soon as the bugs are worked out and it is usable by
clueless users), Autonomous Zones Industries, the parent company that
is funding Mojo Nation, is going to spend $100,000 in U.S. dollars
buying back beta Mojo from everyone who has earned it.


So hopefully this kind of influx of real currency will kick-start the
Mojo economy.


Once real non-beta Mojo is available, Autonomous Zones Industries will
back it in U.S. dollars, allowing you to buy Mojo from or sell Mojo to
AZI, Inc.
