The Unoffical guide to the token system

To clarify, here's the (okay, to be fair, it's identical) PHP script.

PHP Code:

<?php
define (TOKEN_THRESHHOLD,1000000)
define (LOWEST_INTEREST_RATE,0.012);
define (LOW_INTEREST_RATE,0.02);

// All that other crap

if ($currTokens > TOKEN_THRESHHOLD)
{
    $interestRate = LOWEST_INTEREST_RATE;
}
else
{
    $interestRate = LOW_INTEREST_RATE;
}

$interest = $currTokens * $interestRate;
echo $interest . '% interest.';
?>

You know PHP and I don't. That explains why you have more than one million tokens in your bank account, and I don't.

Oh, the token-doubling didn't occur to me this week. If I am donated, shouldn't there be notifications about that?

There would be, yes. You appear to have just been lucky enough to be affected by the lone "positive" glitch on the boards.

Yes, I agree with that statement, as those are orthogonal things. And your point is?...

[ANGRY ABOUT ENGLISH]

He's saying Ed there didn't get those tokens via being a "leet haxor", nor by winning everyone over, or by being a good poster.

It was sheer, dumb luck.

[RichardCozODST]

I noticed that when I donated 5,000 tokens to someone, then he gave me a positive feedback reply.

[Jason Walsh]

Very well explained. I thank you greatly for the advice.

And what is that supposed to mean, Phuzion?

I know PHP so I can run my website. And I got my tokens legitimately. -_-

Updated:

Edited percentage interest from bank.
Took down giving rep to recieve tokens.

The ways of making money are becoming so few now. Is there eventually going to be a point where there is absolutely no way of making money and that the rich people will remain forever rich and above the rest of the people? And how has the percentage interest changed? It still looks like 1.2% to me...

We are going to be adding new ways to earn tokens soon. However we won't tell how you earn them.

He's referring to editing the first post, which still listed the interest rate as the previous 2.0% a day.

Also: good move, Keith. Seriously, it's probably best that the least possible amount of us know about these things, given that every trick I can think of was abused by someone or another. (While I'm at it: is it just me who's no longer receiving tokens from editing messages, or has that been disabled for everybody?)

aha.. tricky man.. very smart move, so it will be like an 'Oh! i just got tokens for doing _______' only problem i see is that people will than find ways to rape it, and tell others how to do that, and keep doing that, untill you need to get rid of that again.

also, will you be giving tokens to uploading sims again?
