I've made this thread in anticipation of the possible new server that will have the difficulty cranked up. With limited warps and no /tpa convenience will be a luxury some can't give up so they will just go back to simplex where the easy life is.
A stockpile is a large collection of items, often accumulated in anticipation of future difficulties. You may call it storage area or chest room.
Imagine a central stockpile that is organized and open to the public (Or maybe just open to residents only). Anyone can take or put in any amount of items from these chests. The stockpile can have a sorting system+bulk storage system to keep everything organized. Since I know there are going to be those people that will take everything and hoard it for themselves Jobs can be created to keep the stockpile full.
A simple Lumberjack job can get logs for the stockpile and get payed in diamonds for each stack they gather. The pay rate will be determine by the towns mayor as well as the demand for logs. How the major/town gets diamonds to pay workers could come from taxing residents, getting diamonds themselves or from a in-town shopping district.
I don't know if it will work, I've never tried something like this before but I'd like to try just to see if it fails or not. I wouldn't mind if this idea was used by an existing town mayor/owner on simplex. I don't want to start a town myself to see if the idea will flop or not as I don't think I'm active enough to so.

Just to be 'vague', my answer is both Yes, and No... "Can it work?" Yes... "Will it work?" That the more difficult one to answer. As you alluded to, you'll get new/greedy players who will 'steal' and hoard large supplies... but at the same time, you'll get other honest players who will take what they need and even return it when they can. I'd also wonder if people would donate when there's also a shopping district... but the 'jobs' side of things could get around this. The long and short of it: I'd happily donate as/when I can, because I know I'd use it occasionaly too. (I'd just need to be managed! )

Not a bad idea. If you plan to run a town, you can definitely run off that system. However, I personally wouldn't want to do this because I'm greedy and want everything for myself, and because it's a basic form of socialism, and I'm an American. I'm not "against" socialism, just against the way it normally turns out. Luckily I don't think a Minecraft server can have tyrants. Good luck if you do this system, but if you do you can expect me to probably not join. (Forget everything I said about socialism I was just rambling)
