Not to add to the increasing load but I've another round of questions for everyone.

First of all, I'm sure everyone's been acquainted with the currency here. Chroma 🌑️ and Demichroma️ 🌓️. The people here seem very fond of the moon! Good taste (everywhere, honestly, LOVE the neon look 💙)

Who here has really gone through this thing? The bracelet they've given us, I mean. It's rather robust, I'm a big fan personally and might be working on a few things already. 🤫

Right - The point! Sorry. What I'm getting to is how many of you have been checking your banks?
Follow up: Rough estimate, how much do you have? Don't share the number, that's terrible security, dear God I'm leveling with you as a cybersecurity expert all I need is whether it's single, double, or triple digits
2nd follow up: Have any of you been doing any kind of work?
3rd, final follow up: Have you noticed when/where your balance goes up?

I'll go 1st: Triple #, no work, I may have a... few working theories

Could I ask what year you're from?
These seem rather robust, thankfully! I've been conducting a few tests and my own has held up to a rigid and thorough examination including drop, pressure, and water tests.

The working hypothesis is that physical contact seems to make a difference.

It's the Year of the Horse of the Chun Tai era, though... I do have to wonder if we use different calendars.

In any case, well, that's encouraging. I'll have to keep that in mind. And... physical contact? So you can just... earn money by touching people? How does that even work?

[notblayde]

Unfortunately it sounds like we do. I'm from 2019 - year of the pig, I believe, if that helps any.

We're trying to work out specifics, but so far it seems even holding hands earns something.

[bloodisthicker]

2019 years since existence started, or...? We sort of view time as cyclical back home, so we don't really number things like that.

That's extremely interesting. I wonder how they prevent the economy from completely wrecking itself from people holding hands too much?

[notblayde]

Oh. It's a bit complicated. The planet itself is something like 4.6 billion years old, humanity's something like 400k years old, civilization's 10k years old?

Anyway, the calendar date's related to religion back home.

That is a good question. I never really paid attention to economics outside of video game market crashes.

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, I see. I'm not sure we've determined the actual age of our world yet, but I'd be surprised if they were that different, honestly. Maybe we're a few decades earlier than yours, though. I suppose a religion is as good a way to determine a date as any, at least.

...I'm not even sure where to start asking about that.
