Old CKG holders can get other benefits, maybe in health or wisdom, or maybe a dividend of some kind. Could change the name to Platinum to avoid confusion, CKP.

CKP could work as a name, but platinum really isn't much of an adornment for buildings, artwork, etc. Minor thing overall. May just have to be one of those "weird" things that results from prior choices if CKG and CKS becomes CKGB (CK Gold Bar) and CKSB (CK Silver Bar), but you aren't able to take the "gold" currency coins and directly make them.

One reason I thought of having current CKG be airdropped the currency CKG is that would create an arbitrage market on collectibles, and people may destroy, say, their gold coins, cutlery, and the like to unlock the CKG within them, making the remaining items rarer overall as in the "relaunch" we'll try to keep the active item lists cleaner and with more fine-tuned purposes. Most of these older items may not be addressed in terms of being provided uses/purposes unless someone from the community creates them.

I agree, don't dilute M anymore with an airdrop on gold holders, there's a few land whales around with cash balances looking too small to maintain them once taxation resumes, and that'll mean some bargains

This is another great point. We have a lot of nobles running around not having paid taxes for decades. Even worse, they are naked and haven't eaten for almost as long Tongue

Really, the production and consumption game needs to be automated and, like in the early game when it was manually checked, there should be requirements for what needs to be owned and consumer given a specific player level.

If anyone has suggestions in this area, I'm all ears. I'm even thinking that in the same way people were automatically promoted to a certain number of levels, it also needs to be possible to, over time, fall in levels if level requirements are not consistently met. Otherwise you have a bunch of naked nobles without carriages and no house who haven't eaten even a single CAN in almost 100 years Tongue

Money Supply & Tokenization

Again, early stage thoughts here, but want to get a feel from the community. We have 4 trillion M units. On any token asset, I think for ease of comparison to pretty much any other crypto asset, 8 decimal units is the way to go. That means 1 "full" M blockchain unit will equal 100,000,000 in-game M units.

Here's a potential problem with that: we will only have 40k "full" blockchain units. (40000.00000000 OR 4,000,0.00,000,000). In the top 100 on CoinMarketCap, the smallest amount is GBYTE with 645k circulating supply, but 1 million total supply. Also, in my opinion, we need to keep in mind a scenario where the smallest "satoshi" level of currency (the decimals) is 1:1 to in-game currency, which is taken care of in this scenario.

Keeping all ownership positions in M the same, do we want to do a final multiplication to something higher than 40k units (or 4 trillion)?

Here's a recent visual on the world's markets:

http://www.visualcapitalist.com/worlds-money-markets-one-visualization-2017/

Narrow money is around $40 trillion and broad money is around $100 trillion. 100 trillion M would get us to 1 million blockchain M.

Looking globally and rounding some:

Gold: 10
Stock: 75
Narrow + Broad Money: 100
Debt: 215
Real Estate: 220

Gets us to 620 trillion M, or 6.2 million blockchain M. And we haven't included derivatives or anything like that.

Honestly, we could even go for something higher that gets us to quadrillions of in-game like 10 million (1 quadrillion) or 100 million (10 quadrillion) blockchain units. That would get someone like Karl Hungus to a 100 trillion position, and since this whole Bitcoin business is supposed to start creating the world's first trillionaires, maybe CK needs to have this opportunity open as well Wink
