Holy fudge I just realized me and pezus are at 20k credits here!


Anyway I've changed the way interest is calculated as well. The current system too complex in nature. For each post it would append that user's "posting score" as score=10+.9*score. At the end of the day when calculating interest, this posting score was what percent of the interest was added. With one post it'd be 10% of the interest calculated, with 2 posts 19% of the interest, etc. After calculating interest the post score was reset.



The new interest system is simple and can be done in your head. Just take the first half of digits in the bank, and add them as interest. If the person has not posted that day, do not calculate interest.


Example would be 562 credits in the bank. First half is 56, so the person earns 56 credits if they posted. The cool thing about this system is that it pressures people into spending money/investing money. 900 credits in the bank produces 90 credits a day while 1,000 only produces 10. It isn't until 9,000 credits that interest is back above 90. There are basically "islands" of good and bad bank values. Moving within the island is easy but moving from one island to another is hard.
interesting.
