thanks for your input.. that really helps! Good to know mining and is done like this.. i wasnt even sure how it worked for Steem! SO that sounds potentially perfect with mining reflecting the actual value of properties..

likedeelers suggestion is one I thought about, but i dont think it would fit the vision here.. since SMT's involve a hard fork of the existing blockchain, whereas in this case we dont really want or need existing users to be involved in the ecoVillage..
