What to do with "burnt" gikocoins? (5 replies)

■ 🕑 1. What to do with "burnt" gikocoins?
│  Akai, our chair of economic music, is working on a way to address the
│  inflation issue of gikopoi -- finding a way to consume coins
│  permanently for a use in a different sort of game that takes into mind
│  principles learned from systems of "progressive taxation"
│  
│  From a different angle, it cannot be denied that if coins lost by
│  gambling ended up in a special wallet, giko.py would probably have more
│  coins than all other users combined.
│  
│  If coins lost gambling ended up in a special account, what would be
│  interesting ways to make use of these coins?
│  
│  Maybe each week people with a balance of at least X gikocoins could vote
│  for a user to receive a percent of the "pot", eg 5%
│  
│  Maybe each week, people could buy lottery tickets for a chance to win
│  some random percentage of the pot, eg between 3% and 50% -- akin to the
│  US "powerball" system or something like "keno"
│  
│  The most creative and fun answer will be the one implemented.

│   Now that giko.py lives on the Giko server it would also be fairly
│   trivial to have her generate a webpage that lists users and balances
│   publicly, eg at https://gikopoi.com/wealth/
│   
│   I think it's a little fun to only see the 5 wealthiest via !wealth
│   and other balances having to be requested manually, eg via
│   "!balance player", but I'm open to all perspectives on this.
│   
│   It can be argued that a public list of all balances could risk many
│   non-tripcoded having their wealth stolen by less ethical gikos but I
│   don't think this is entirely an issue.

│   options are
│   1) have any gikocoin spent go on a separate file than the bank.txt
│   or
│   2) make an exception where giko.py doesn't appear in rankings.
│   
│   Now if that money (on the txt file or belonging to giko.py)
│   is to be used for a pot of gold lotto type system, that would be cool.
│   
│   Yeah make giko.py run a lottery with that money, perhaps?

│   All money collected should be equally distributed to the gikoteriate.
│   Also the top 5 wealthiest Gikos should be summarily executed on the second
│   of every month.

    everytime the amount of coins reach a certain value, everyone turns into giko gold.
