New Money System?; The Dawn of Dynamo

Hey,

For a while our forums switched to a money system called Dynamo. In essence, you can trade, transfer money and everything else without waiting for a moderator to manually add it for you.

Here's more info: http://dynamo.viralsmods.com/

We reverted back to the current system a while ago because Dynamo was taking quite a while to finish, but I'm glad to say that it has finally been updated and the latest version seems to work ok.

What do you guys think? In view of a possible new RPG, the Dynamo system will allow all of us to purchase Rare Candies, TMs, and pokemon easier than ever. Instead of waiting for a mod to approve your trade, you can transfer money to your friends immediately!

In addition, you get money by posting. So the more you post, the more cash you get! No more idling to wait for mods to approve your job!

If you're a saver more than a spender, you can even get interest daily.

Anyway, I'm really hyped about the new system, but of course the decision lies in you guys. What do you think? Do you want us to switch to Dynamo? Give us feedback here!

Yes because there are multiple things you can do with the Dynamo mod, allow users to make their own transactions, money per post option, interest options, and there's also an interesting lottery feature too.
Plus with the RPG there won't need to be jobs/transactions for mods to approve so it's a win/win for mods and users.

This is actually the first money system we used for the first RPG.

Not to degrade the old system, but this one is superior. Bank and interest systems along with money donations is what I missed from the new one. Who would say no?

Glad to hear the positive feedback ;D
If this idea receives continuous support I'll schedule to fix everything up by Sunday.

Also, we have to consider resetting all the money.
I'm leaning towards a resetting all money idea. Of course feel free to talk about this, but since this is a completely new RPG, incorporating a new money system and a new way to earn RPG cash, the value for pokedollars would be different and thus resetting the cash would be fairer to everyone.

Also, we're planning to make the money for RPG purposes only. So... keep that in mind.

Dynamo is better than the current system we are using. Our current system is suspectible to crashes and errors. So its better to upgrade to Dynamo which is better.

So, when I go to the collect interest area, it says "Your account type does not allow you to collect interest.". What's the problem?

Interest hasn't been properly implemented yet. I'm not sure when it will tbh

You cannot at the moment collect interest. I have tested it out, and it works, but because interest basically makes the richer people even richer and the poorer people well, comparatively poorer, it might not be implemented.

However I'll leave that for you guys to decide. Do you want interest? Or no?

Meh, I don't really care. But if we can only get money from posting, why not? The more active people get rewarded even more. But people might sell PTD stuff or do something else and hoard the money. Eventually, the money may become worthless because of that. I dunno.

But then those are PTD players, and they work hard to get the Pokemon they sell. It's not exactly hoarding the money, just a different style of obtaining it. Interest would be good, although I think people would stop posting once they have a good enough amount of money to collect interest each day.

With the premium version of Dynamo I know that you can set a limit to the interest rate, such as having a cap at $5 a day for interest so that if the interest percent would of gotten you more than $5 you still would only get $5.

Not sure if we got the funds for premium Dynamo. However yea, I'm hoping the forum currency can reinstate its function to be able to purchase/sell PTD pokemon

Interest would be an interesting feature to have. We can (if possible) implement the premium version of Dynamo to limit the interest gains as minimii has said.

I thought the interest rate had a percentage of 5 with banked money. Speaking of which, is the banking feature going to be around too?

There is no bank in the Dynamo system - all money is 'on hand' and interest is therefore collected on all available money. There wasn't much point in the bank system as you would just deposit all of your money when collecting interest, and it was confusing as to what the money in someone's profile meant (i.e was it their on hand money/ bank money or total money?).

Alright then, I'm glad that it was scrapped. Back then (at the start of the first RPG), it was kinda weird having it around because we had to deposit all the money first then collect interest. Other than that, it had little purpose.

Viral, is there a way to incorporate a marketplace system? An easy to access area where people can buy things that moderators "sell"?

Looking at Viral's signature about Dynamo: Posted Image
It seems like a Shop thing might be something added in the future

EDIT: didn't realized the sig rotated and had the text change :o

Sorry for the late reply, I don't frequent here. There is a shop code already, it's not in the module list though. http://support.viralsmods.com/topic/5616203/

It's been 3 months since this idea has become a reality, yet we still haven't used it for... well anything.

Any thoughts on how we can use this to our advantage before the RPG comes in?
