Well... if you're depositing so many assets (and getting such a low multiplier) that it's ambiguous, you probably don't want the transaction to go through anyway. BobTHJ suggested I switch the multiplier from deposits to withdrawals, but that reduces its efficacy against scams. Say I somehow get my hands on 20 2 Crops. With a deposit rate limiter, I can only deposit so many of the crops for much of a profit; after that I have to wait, during which period the rates can be changed. With a withdraw rate limiter, on the other hand, I can dump them all and get lots of zorkmids, and just take my time withdrawing from the bank. While everyone else mounts a run on the bank in panic. In theory. So far, only one person owns *any* zorkmids. While revising the system, as I said, will probably be necessary, I'd like to first see how this way plays out.
