Proposal: Pyrite equity If juan failed to gain any pyrite on or about 2026-01-26 15:04:47 UTC, then create 1000 pyrite in juan's possession.
-- CFJ, barring juan: On or about 2026-01-26 15:04:47 UTC, juan gained a total of 1000 pyrite. CFJ, barring juan: On or about 2026-01-26 15:04:47 UTC, juan lost a total of 20 spendies. Caller's arguments: juan attempted to pay spendies to buy pyrite, but overstated the amount of the fee as 2 spendies each instead of 1. Because this includes (but exceeds) the correct set of assets, is it effective? If so, then does it destroy the full amount stated, or only the correct amount? juan had 20 spendies at the time of the attempt, and there were no non-integers involved. Caller's evidence: [1] juan's message to a-b, relevant excerpt https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2026-January/055106.html > 10 times, I spend 2 spendies to buy 100 pyrite. [2] Rule 2579 (Fee-based Actions) If the Rules associate payment of a set of assets (hereafter the fee for the action; syns: cost, price, charge) with performing an action, that method for performing that action is a fee-based method. If the fee is a non-integer quantity of a currency, the actual fee is the next highest integer amount of that asset. To use a fee-based method, an entity (the Actor) who is otherwise permitted to perform the action must announce that e is performing that action; such announcement must clearly and unambiguously set forth intent to pay a fee for the sole purpose of using that method to perform that action. Additionally, such announcement must either clearly and unambiguously specify the correct set of assets for that fee or use simplified wording (e.g. "I buy X") that makes the intended fee reasonably clear and unambiguous (in particular, without stating an incorrect fee). Upon such an announcement: - If the Rules specify a recipient for the relevant fee, and the Actor CAN transfer that fee from emself to the recipient, then that fee is transferred from the Actor to the recipient and the action is performed simultaneously; - If the Rules do not specify a recipient, and the Actor CAN destroy the relevant fee in eir possession, then that fee in eir possession is destroyed and the action is performed simultaneously. - Otherwise, no changes are made to asset holdings and the action is not performed. -- [ANSC H:GE]
