The difference is Shinies are unstable (remember, we'll lose them all when we pass nichdel's amendment), and don't have the security and "mining" that were attractive features that made bitcoin go. Also agora has shown no sign of growing to millions of people thusfar and only players can use them.

Yes. E MAY consider it due to R2450, and e CAN consider it via official recognition of the offense via R2426. The consideration is implicit in the act of carding. And if e does so when the pledge isn't broken - you're right, that may be a cardable rules breakage that didn't previously exist.

So it's regulated. And, as you say in your original post, many of us can't consider the pledge broken *and have that consideration have legal effect*. But the Referee CAN, because there's a mechanism for em to do so (Carding as a form of recognition). Maybe I'm missing the issue? On Tue, 18 J
