@trinsec You're right, of course!
Alternate phrasing:
1 gold piece = 79 hydrogen pieces
1 silver piece = 47 hydrogen pieces
etc.
As you point out, this does make the exchange rates between coins fairly messy fractions.
@peterdrake@qoto.org Heh yeah. Just like real life. 😋
Hydrogen pieces as the base unit sounds like a good call. Just a shame that currency is so volatile!
@peterdrake
@trinsec
Seems risky. An economy based on hydrogen feels like it would have a lot of inflation.
@peterdrake @trinsec Sounds like something @Multiplexer would come up with. 😉
@peterdrake@qoto.org I'm interpreting this differently.
The value of gold is '79', and the value of silver is '47' so one gold piece is 1,68 silver pieces.
