Pxls

[zoniczedro]

Can someone please explain to me why money in people's accounts keep messing up and and showing that they have 0 pxls and making it so that they can't sell to shops?

Nobody has any pixels left, try /money [random.name] or /money top
The economy is dead, the damage could be bigger.

I suppose it's been reset, but that doesn't matter as there was zero trust in the pxlz. I discussed it with stefan, and we think it would be best to use emeralds in the future: non-server regulated, hard to find when mining so less inflation than a goldbased pxl, and there's always someone trusting your coin and willing to trade, namely villagers. The only true con to the system is that many prices are 'set'. Who would want to pay 50 emeralds for 20 wheat when they can get it for 3 from a villager? The pro of this con is that it is much more inflation-immune. Emeralds are easy to carry (stackable or craft them into blocks which are also stackable), though they cannot be split into smaller amounts as was possible with gold (nuggets).

The economy is not only dead because of inflation, everybody can take care of themselves. Mostly...

[mvdhauten]

well yes, but in minecraft you cannot stop anyone from beginning an autarky... still, people can trade services as well as items so money can still be useful. By the by, an emeraldbased economy can survive with and without server inplugs or whatever, as theres always a basis formed by villagers.

I think economy should be based on p2p deals, and exchange whatever ones need. then you don't have to worry about standard value, it's more what are ready to pay for what you actually need.

Also keep in mind that emeralds are not that hard to get. Villagers trades emeralds and you can spam trade them and therefore be the richest guy in about a day. (i'll be this guys )

People's money doesn't stay at 0 Pxls, after a few days, their money goes back to what it was and this has happened twice in three weeks or so now.
