There's no futures symbol because coal is inherently worth different values based on location. It's a solid, it doesn't spoil (sometimes it spontaneously combusts), you need a whole lot of it to do anything useful. These diff

It's a problem of economic inflation. The games start out easy at release, but developers see the need to tighten their belts to prevent game currency/abilities/skill from being worthless. So the template has been in MMO land

While this may have been true when it was posted it is no longer true. If you think about it the idea doesn't make sense because the still living authors still want a cut. It's unfortunate because it's very difficult to find

How is this technically implemented -- is the demurrage subtracted once a year, or when you send a transaction? Where do the coins taken for this fee go? How can I apply for a grant from the foundation?
