I agree, it's a good infrastructure to have (I'd always liked the
private currencies in that older system).  -Goethe

While I agree, do we want to have some method of changing VVLOPs, or shall we 
just set them all to 4?

I wonder if the issue is high-velocity micropayments in general.  It was
chips for cards, and microunits for currencies, which eventually tipped
the usefulness/annoyance ratio in the wrong way.  -Goethe

 Leaving eight for yourself, if I calculate correctly.  How selfless, I
 would at least leave myself the same number :o
 
 I may distribute my marks in a similar way, but I'll wait to see how
 people react.
 

I'd recommend that one of us distribute it so that at the end everyone has the 
same amount of marks.
BTW, inflation is quite joyful. ;)
