No I mean just using it to raise cash.  More interesting than just collecting
a minimum wage, requires some effort at least.  That's why I suggested making
a higher-creation-rate version that couldn't be collected for a Win.  (I mean
a minimum wage is the ultimate "just sitting there").

Routinely buying Stamps low and selling high to eventually buy your win
doesn't feel very interesting to me (but I'm doing it myself because it's
just the best thing to do rn). It's just sitting and getting your loyalty
card stamped and then getting rewarded for it.

Seeing the recent fluctuation, Stamp speculation seems like a nice ride to jump
on, especially since if you buy a stamp low, you then want to spend additional 
shinies to drive the price up.  A monthly stamp is too low volume to support
speculation, maybe make a different Series (a bond) with a faster creation rate
(but no Win attached).

I tend to agree that the Welcome Packages are too large. More generally, I 
think the fixed prices need reconciling a bit to bring the immediate gameplay 
utility and the relative payoff into closer alignment, and the ratios between 
the various floating-price rewards and costs adjusted a bit in the same vein.

Look at the current situation.

We have, nominally, 1k shinies. As of the start of the week, over 90% of them 
were in the hands of players. During the week, even with a situation casting 
some doubt on the validity of sh.-denominated transactions, we moved 130 sh. 
around.

The effective transaction volume is dominated by small transactions, while most 
of the “circulating” shinies are in fact in stockpiles. (Yes, including mine. I 
owned around 10% of all Shinies at the start of the week, and PSS another 10%.) 
I’m not sure that adding more shinies would meaningfully cause much inflation 
in the actual prices, in the medium term, unless we did something to address 
stockpiling, but it _would_ cause the Floating Value to spike for a while, 
locking some (all, if we kicked the FV up to 3,000 at a stroke) players out of 
FV-limited actions for a while until enough shinies enter circulation.

This is the core of G.’s protest: there’s nothing to drive transaction volume, 
so prices sink inexorably towards the lowest value they _can_ reach. We’re 
demonstrably holding onto shinies until we’re sure we’re maximizing the utility 
of spending them. Therefore, kicking the FV up will make stockpiling worse 
without really doing anything to address liquidity.

I strongly suspect we need a basic revenue for all players for Shinies to 
remain effective and fun. This is a purely pragmatic stance, as I like seeing 
the game more active, and hoarding is the opposite of that. I suspect we also 
need a use-it-or-lose-it mechanic, so that large stockpiles don’t act as an 
effective trump card. (Who wants to bid against PSS or I on an Estate auction, 
as things stand?)

I thought I posted it somewhere, but evidently I didn't. I wrote it when
the CFJ said that I should change it to a transliteration thereof, and
provide a preferred reading.

The preferred reading/transliteration is "amatsukagitsune" and translates
to "celestial fire-fox" (with that reading---there are other meanings
possible depending on the reading since Japanese is fun that way). I
suppose "the celestial fox" is acceptable if it makes the sentence flow
better, but I would prefer to have the characters used as it appears as I
sign it; using Josh is anathema. Now that everyone knows, I expect no more
mess-ups from everyone currently subscribed, yes?

天火狐, would you be willing to supply either a transliteration of

(I think that latter choice is slightly off your desired translation
IIRC).  I'll respect it if you don't, but I'm always pausing to go

I'd make it so that each new player has something to bargain with though,
to start. Maybe encourage them to sell APs or Trust Tokens.

Feels a bit like Mad Max and I love it. I enjoy entrepreneurship a lot, I'd
love to see people open businesses and make business myself.

We could go full libertarian style. Gov't owns no money, instead give
it all to players and private banks. No rewards, you get reports when
you pay for them. CFJs are removed and private arbitration rules. New
players get all their money from starting a goddamn business, or
charity.

Time to get serious and allow Agora to float a bond issue and privately
finance eir debt.

Other ideas:  
  - V.J. Rada's idea of right-sizing to number of players is a good one,
as part of the float calculations possibly.

  - How about *deflation*.  Allow fractional values, I'm curious if the
downward pressure on floating value will stabilize at some fraction
of a shiny or exponentially decay to 0...

The reason Agora has a shiny crisis is that the number of existing
players weren't accounted for when deciding how much the Supply Level
should be. It really needed to be 2000, to give us more of a margin.
Oh well.

It's time for Agoran Economy: Venezuela edition : P

No but in seriousness, we have a single fixed price which is the Welcome
Package, which I believe is to blame for most of the shiny drought. It's
just too much in comparison to the total amount of shinies Agora has in
total, imo. If we had more banknotes, it would be less of a problem. We
should adjust the floating value stuff a bit too with it though imo.

Maybe tie inflation to new players? So firstly add like an "emergency
fund" of 100 or so now, and then whenever a new player joins increase
agora's balance by that %.

Note that any scheme that says you can get something for having
less than a certain level of liquid assets can be scammed by two 
people passing their assets back and forth.

  in past economies, any form of progressive wealth distribution 
pretty much instantly led to tax avoidance contracts and schemes,
I think the only way to get around it is to tie it to expected income,
rather than holdings (e.g. Officers get less, having to resign offices
to get the reward is more of a deterrent).

I'd remove all this part and possibly replace it with a quick blurb
stating "Amend RXXX: by adding the lines starting with + and removing
the lines starting with -". A simple wrapper script could do most of
