That way the NS servers aren't overloaded, but people who want to play still can. Heck, as its own game it could expand and grow much like NS did. It could be a sister website with its own forums. We could roleplay as businessmen and businesswomen.

And just like NS, it could start out very humble and then expand.

What would be great is if Max took the best aspects of ByteCoins and the IPO and created an entirely new currency system to keep in the game.

- Max BarryThere was some debate about whether the ByteCoin prices were market-driven or just some dumb random algorithm. I can now confirm that a true market mechanism was always the only acceptable option for ByteCoin, up until about March 31 when I realized how hard that was to code. So it was a dumb random algorithm. Except for Titanfall, which was a plan by some big ByteCoin players to try to crash the market by all selling at once, which I caught wind of and simulated to freak them out. That was fun.
