Frequently Asked Questions

At the moment, we are charging $3/month to subscribe to the KommunityKoin proprietary Koin system that allows you to have a KoinPurse of time tracking credits, or Koins, to use as a means of timekeeping, rather than the old version of timekeeping that relied on cumbersome line ledger or spreadsheet style entries. This system makes time banking truly easy and convenient. KoinPurse is the only part of the website that is by subscription. The rest of the website, with all of its valuable content, is absolutely FREE.

KoinBoard is a forum where KommunityKoin and KoinPurse users are able to post information and events for other users to see. This helps to build Kommunities and Networks. The building of Kommunities and Networks is the cornerstone of making your Time Co-Op and Time Banking experience thrive. 

Please refer to the video, button or drop down link on the home page entitled "Build Your Kommunity". Each KommunityKoin Kommunity will establish their own structures, procedures and means of communicating within their own group. Every Kommunity is different and has different needs, therefore, we leave it up to the individual Kommunities to make those decisions for themselves. 

No. Please be certain of the account and the number of Koins entered before pressing the send button.

No. Koins have no monetary value. They simply serve as a means of timekeeping within a Kommunity and help in ensuring equitability within that Kommunity and between Kommunities. See the KoinPurse Terms of Use for details.

The button for unsubscribing from the subscription Koin system is found on your profile screen at the bottom right hand corner. Note; if you unsubscribe, you cannot re-subscribe for six months. See the User Guide for details.

At the moment, time co-ops and time banking don't seem to be considered taxable income but rather a means of fostering community support. However, it is the responsibility of the user to know their own tax situation and should consult the IRS website or a CPA for any questions about their own potential tax obligations. Note: any misuse of KoinPurse may increase the likelihood of tax obligations on the part of the user. See the KoinPurse Terms of Use for details.
