Bookcrossing usually involves setting books free by laying them out in prominent places. Thanks to registration of one's own holdings, other readers can browse through one's own shelves and request items that interest them. This is a kind of a decentralized library. The other day I actually received such a request and sent a book. Maybe one day I'll get it back, because it was a cherished gift from friends. But what is it worth if it just sits on a shelf or is kept in a box? Instead of getting the postage paid into a bank account, I laid it out. Since I've known BCH, I don't like to use a bank account unless I absolutely have to. So I advertised that I would be happy to have the postage transferred to me in BCH if there is interest. But in the end, even a return or forwarding needs postage again. And if I actually get the book back one day, the postage is probably already paid exactly as this time.

Centrally organized libraries often hold extensive collections of such publications. Do you know of other decentralized initiatives where books or other items can be registered? Maybe even tools, machines, consumables? More middlemen could become superfluous in such ways. PPS: I am not affiliated with Bookcrossing. I just love the idea.
