Comment to 'New modules lineup in UNA 11 Altair'
  • I like "credits that can be used in the Market". How will credits be different than the points system? Differences? Similarities?  Also a suggestion that I was holding off on for the points system but I think would be beneficial if credits Is to come out. A credits integration button that users can sell art, files, sounds uploaded on timeline. The user can post say an art picture file that sells for $5 credits. Another user can buy a digital copy of that file that when paid for would allow the buyer to download the file. The file or picture, sound, etc would be auto deleted after purchase or deleted after a certain amount of purchases determined by the user. Another example a user is selling Art and wants to sell 3 limited downloads. After 3 bought downloads the art image deletes itself. 

    • Credits is just a currency medium essentially. Points is about rewarding activity   They can be used together - buy/sell points for credits may be a good idea to decouple points from actual money to protect from fraudulent withdrawals In cases when Points are accrued through some unexpected spam technique.

      You can use credits to directly mimic real currency - $ € £.... and run it as a way to simplify checkout on micropayments, or as a way to collect commissions from community vendors (By buying back credits from them at reduced rate).
