closed / reposted due to people thinking it was actual $ from the badly worded title haha. whoops.

67169

Oh whew, I thought this was the end of BotB.

Don't scare us like that :c

67170

Im so sorry for makin u people think it was irl money ; ___ ;
like o god i feel so terrible orz

but i mean, puke could also use donations anytime!! (reminder there's a donate button in the bottom right corner)

67171

All of a sudden there is a new headline "b00ns become sentient and overrun BotB"

67172

haha, i guess "bankrupt" should have been the tip-off

edit: this is the graph http://battleofthebits.com/daily_stats/#boons

edit: that's not the graph and the URL lies. click the "boons" button to see the graph

67182

is this supposed to be a simulation demonstrating why more irl currency is printed

67183

b00nkrupt

67186

that last counted ip flow; i am pretty sure these are from all the new n00b account spamming that have been going on since the last week lol

Edit: there are more than 3000 godd

67188

more than 3000 gods are dead

67192

i don't understand the boongraph. ;_;

The Great BotB Recession of 2017

67232

Holy shiiiiiiiit Savey I got all depressed (.___.")

i suck

It's okay! :D Today I wrote half of a really cool lesson on vector math for use in a game engine, and it went really well, so I'm fine now.

67257

oh great now we are going have taxes

wheres my free botb healthcare

i am not for "battle" spending

academy tuition is unaffordable and it does not guarantee me first place by simply reading it

67259

b00n sales tax on all BotB itemz

67268

13.37% GST

so basically nova scotia

67289

I wasn't aware that Nova Scotia had a b00n-based economy

67294

nova scotia holds many secrets

67351

I donated 200 boons to the Bank of BotB to help stem the tide. (I hope this doesn't create an infinite botboonloop.)

80557

it's Happening
!!!

80566

I'm scared! (;´Д`)

y=ｰ( ﾟдﾟ)･∵.

80567

i told you about investing in avocados; now is too late

80574

wow

what happens when we run out

80577

i blame dog

80615

wait, when it says "botb gave you x nubs" it's actually a botb account that gives you nubs??????? that is cool

80616

if everyone donates to dog, dog can become the new bank of botb

80743

I donated _b50,000 to help the cause.

Looks like we might have to do a flat tax come BotB's 13th burfday.

80755

Just curious, how much does it cost to keep the site up and running?

Are the donations enough?

80764

Dang, failure_supreme, i had no idea this is implemented this way, but it looks like it indeed is

I always thought that boons aren't tied to some finite pool

80765

I don't understand

80766

the solution to every economic problem is, of course, printing more money,

80769

quantitative easing

80781

boons are gonna become like the zimbabwe dollar soon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar

chop off the zeroes

80789

Inflation of 98% per day. Exponential wowzers!

Truthfully, a flat tax against all BotBrs is about 250% easier than implementing inflation. Either way, however, could be done. I await the lamentations of you plebeians on the subject.

80792

im going to store my b00ns in a secure vault on a ship at least 12 nautical miles from the coast of any sovereign state so as to avoid this heinous taxation

80795

rename strobe's account to botb

80813

no taxation without quantization!

80874

Just throwing an idea out here: you could implement more rewards for hosting successful ohbs, less rewards for hosting unsuccessful ohbs, rewards for placing high in an ohb, very big rewards for winning a major, and make the real sink the ability to host majors with no restitution of the deposit, say, 25-50k boons per major. Maybe even something like 5k boons per day of compo.

Temporarily pump another 200k boons into BotB and see if the thing stabilizes.

Or just say fuck it, give another billion boons to BotB and make a boon ranking :)

80881

donated 7000b to help the cause

80882

WHAT WE NEED IS A BOON DUMP TO DISCARD BOONS ON FRIVOLOUS COSMETICS SUCH AS HATS, AND SPECIAL HATS

EACH HAT IS 1000 B00NZ AND THE HATS DONT DO ANYTHING

80883

this is a perfect excuse to finally give the merchant a job

80887

A lot of people have a TON of boons they can't even do anything with. I'm for OrdinateIsDead's idea sort of. I think there should be something like cosmetics for accounts, that cost more than palettes.

80888

Random ideas for purchaseable features

Cosmetic: Simple visualizations for BotB online player
Usability: Ability to play unrendered Sexmodits (can be implemented with Chiptune2.js
)

uhh, uhh, more js yeah, whatever

80890

The javascript side of things has very readable source. Anyone inspired to improve the player with visualizations (spectral, waveform, demo effects, etc) is more than welcome to do so.

82395

I have an idea! Tax the inactive users! That'll stop the absurd amount boons not being used!

82411

While "tax the inactive users" sounds a bit harsh, maybe a self-deprecating currency could work.

Worded differently: if you don't use it, you lose it.

Also, start selling hats. ;D

82437

Yeah that sounds reasonable, but what about saving up? If I spend my boons, how do I expect to get the next hat?

Or for that matter, Having enough boons to run an OHB whenever

the bank of botb is officially out of boons, and is in debt to itself
