[ANSWERED]if there is somehow another moltdown...
I know the odds are nonexistent but I'm still curious where the management stands on the possibility, best to prepare for the worst even if it's unthinkable.
How will coins be reimbursed for those that didn't have a local backup OR if the local backup system gets compromised somehow? I mean, no encryption is perfect.
Last time everyone had all their coin purchases given back to them if they claimed their old molten accounts within several months of the wipe, along with the 100+ or so bonus apology coins, and that made a lot of sense
but things have changed a lot due to coin trade.
Would it be based off of the actual purchases of coins or by whom they were expended, i.e, taken out of the economy by via store purchases?
I've only bought like $100 of coins but via trade I have spent well over 1500 coins on the store at this point, that's the only reason I am curious.
It may seem backwards, but there's an argument to be made that, in terms of how much good they do warmane, people who obtain coins via trade and then strictly spend them on the store or services do more good than people who actually buy said coins merely to circulate on the trade. Taking coins out of circulation drives up the value by reducing supply, which has the effect of more people preferring to buy than to trade for coins. People that are just circulating them reduce it by leading to better ratios for gold and to a lesser extent char sellers.
It also needs to be considered that people who participate in coin trade generally move massively more of them than they otherwise would have, I certainly wouldn't have taken nearly that many coins out of circulation if I couldn't trade for them, mostly because Paymentwall refuses to do business with me anymore but also because that's a crazy amount of money to spend here, but I still worked really hard for the coins I got via trade and it would be sad to see that all gone.
Also, what about unspent coins? If someone bought 100 coins and someone else traded for it but simply left it on their account without spending it, who gets them back when they both restore? Is it first come first serve? I'm just assuming liquid coins are a value that would survive a moltdown.
