Actually it's interesting you say that! Because these practices were around MUCH longer than what we call money or time banks. It's been really an amazing journey for me to go from a money-centric frame to non-monetary forms of resource coordination.
I'm not against time banks or money - I think of them both as value signaling (yang) and commitment pooling as a space where those signals can come together (yin).

Seems like you just reinvented money and/or a time bank.
