knotwork: I was talked out of that though, instead just charge each nation by the "square miles" freeciv records their nation as in control/ownership of

knotwork: I had actually considered accounting hosting fees even for un-played nations, thinking maybe anyone who later takes over that population faces those fees, as if its kind of cumulative falling apart of society that new ruler will need to make up for to get full value from the conquered people

knotwork: I mean these guys have rooms full of magic swords they never bother to take to a shop to sell, they are hoarders

knotwork: well I can show them the "nav" type readout too, how much their moneymachine is worth if they sold it

knotwork: seriously these are mostly not people really into the forex/stocks/bonds parts of the game, they dont sit there figuring out hey I could sell these shares to buy those other shares

knotwork: I suppose eventually there will be some kind of meta-client for issuers that will go around to all places they issued some of their shares and handle dividends at that outlet but seems like a lot of added complexity

knotwork: I dont like dividends, confusing the prices is just part of why

knotwork: but for assets that every single item of them is on my server I can try to add up their value by looking at the reserves (assets) they hold

knotwork: so in practice for BTC and DVC and IXC etc - the chains where I do not know what they actually own - I have to go get market prices and plug those in

knotwork: I suppose in normal acronyms its an attempt to compute NAVs for everyone

knotwork: It is just a really primitive HTML put out by shell scripts but is all I have made so far as a way for me to try to see waht the heck is going on with the various assets

knotwork: I have shell scripts that IRC bots use to talk to *coin daemons to do trade between coin types for example

knotwork: mostly though my userbase would be playing from inside some kind of game client, so I would add commands in to whichever game server to call out to finace system

knotwork: and if they did care, why then I could add gribble style auth

knotwork: Do I seem like I give a **** about userbase? ;) :D

knotwork: Me I use Fedora but that is pretty similar

knotwork: anyway one of the builders used Ubunto I believe so likely the instructions for Ubunto are pretty good

knotwork: though we will soon move to that I guess for some of those newfangled stuff

knotwork: which I think itself uses tcp though might also be capable of udp we use it in tcp mode though I think

knotwork: someone recently built a package for one kind of Linux but not for Ubunto yet I think

knotwork: I cannot run the offers scripts for people in cron because even with setting up the gnome keyring crap the keyring sometimes does not respond properly plus seems to lose everything at reboot too
