I submit the following evidence on CFJ 2018:
As far as I can tell, immediately before comex's message with the
subject "BUS: Bank run" (the first of two messages in which comex
created a large number of partnerships), the Bank of Agora contract
read as follows:
{{{
This is a public contract and a partnership. The name of this
contract is "The Bank of Agora". Parties to this contract may be
referred to as Bankers. A person can only become a party to this
contract if e holds at least 10% of all existing pens. If a Banker
holds less than 10% of all existing pens continuously for seven days,
any person can by announcement cause him to cease to be a Banker.
Pens are a currency. The Bank of Agora is the recordkeepor of pens.
The Bank of Agora cannot hold pens for any length of time; if it
would, the pens are destroyed instead. Any Banker can act on behalf of
the Bank of Agora to publish the portion of its report listing pens
and their owners.
If a currency has a deposit rate, a person can exchange X instances of
that currency for Y pens, where Y is X multiplied by the deposit rate for
the currency, rounded down. The currency is transferred to the Bank of
Agora and the pens are awarded to the person.
If a currency has a withdrawal rate, a person can exchange X pens for
Y instances of that currency, where Y is X divided by the withdrawal
rate for the currency, rounded down, as long as the Bank of Agora has
at least Y instances of that currency. The pens are destroyed and the
currency is awarded to the person.
The following currencies have the following deposit/withdrawal rates:
57.6 / 63.8 0 crops
105.9 / 117.1 1 crops
96 / 97 2 crops
(none) 3 crops
48.48 / 53.6 4 crops
77 / 77.44 5 crops
61.88 / 68.41 6 crops
68 / 75.17 7 crops
93.2 / 103.1 8 crops
114.1 / 126.2 9 crops
42 / 53 Water Rights Vouchers
48 / 54.53 Vote Points
Once per week, each Banker may change each deposit and withdrawal rate
by not more than 10% of its former value.
The Bank of Agora may perform Contract Changes to itself by
announcement. If a Banker announces eir intent to cause the Bank of
Agora to perform some set of actions and receives the consent of all
other Bankers, e may in a timely fashion from the time of eir
announcement cause the Bank of Agora to perform that set of actions.
Bankers shall act in good faith, keeping in mind that the Bank of
Agora's holdings belong to those people who have pens, not the
Bankers.
Bankers shall take turns publishing the text of and parties to this
contract and ownership of pens. The Bankers shall ensure that
this contract fulfills all of its obligations, and can fulfill these
obligations on behalf of the Bank of Agora by announcement
}}}
BobTHJ attempted to modify the contract at much the same time, in a
message titled "BUS: Banking", which would have caused the deposit/
withdrawal rates in the contract to be modified to this, if it was
sent before comex's message:
{{{
62 / 69 0 crops
105.9 / 117.1 1 crops
96 / 97 2 crops
(none) 3 crops
50 / 55 4 crops
77 / 77.44 5 crops
61.88 / 68.41 6 crops
68 / 75.17 7 crops
93.2 / 103.1 8 crops
114.1 / 126.2 9 crops
46 / 57 Water Rights Vouchers
52 / 58 Vote Points
}}}
However, I don't seem to have a copy of the relevant message headers
to determine which message arrived first, either that or I can't
figure out how to get at them. (Could someone else check the order
in which the messages were published, with the Agoran definition
of when a message is published?)
