Boons are the '[[BotB] currency system, exchangeable for goods and services from both BotB and its '[[BotBrs].  

There are 100 '[[nubs] in a boon.
'[_s]b'[/_s]1 = 100'[_s]n'[/_s]

Boons can also be notated as:
b741.52 (741 boons and 52 nubs)

Here are the current exchange rates for the boon:
'[_s]b'[/_s]1 = 532.44 USD
'[_s]b'[/_s]1 = 683.70 CAD
'[_s]b'[/_s]1 = 452.65 EUR
'[_s]b'[/_s]1 = 396.72 GBP
'[_s]b'[/_s]1 = 58,835 JPY

...except these values are all MADE UP! (although in proportion). You cannot actually exchange boons for real money, unfortunately (if we could, everyone here would probably be millionaires).
However, there is one valid exchange rate: '[_s]b'[/_s]1 = 19,583 Dingle Biscuits.

'[#[Earning Boons]
BotB awards boons to BotBrs when their submitted content gets viewed/played/donloaded by other BotBrs.  The more a BotBr contributes to BotB, the higher their income will become.

'[t[b3]Bonus for Entry donloads/plays/views'[/t]
BotB pays out royalties for BotBr content every time an Entry is donloaded.  

payout = (12.5 + half of donloader's '[[INF]) nubs:
Guest plays = 12.5n
BotBr with 36 INF donloads = 30.5n
etc.

'[t[b3]Bonus for Battle Hostings'[/t]
See '[[Hostist (class)] for more info

Also sometimes BotBrs who are in love with you might give you some boon gifts ;) ;) ;)

- Bumping a thread ('[l[https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/BotBr/#Levels[Level 13+]) costs your level number of boons.
- You can donate boons to other BotBrs via the link on their profile.

'[[Clans] should be able to purchase boons via '[[donate[donations].
However, gain of boons via donations should have a set limit per designated amount of time (every 3 months, 6 months or a year). That way no clan will be able to accumulate more boons due to one member having an excessive amount of real money.
Everyone should have the same opportunities to gain boons!
