What's the rep money for?

[Xeon]

Would be good if we can withdraw the money from our RepBank so that we can use it to buy more inventory!

I found one thread by MJ but it talks about how to get rep money.

What is rep money good for? What can I do with it other than rejoice that it's increasing?

i don't know what the point of rep money is

so that's why i give it all away to users.


by the way, i came back just for that : giving away rep money and giving thanks

We might end up having the Cryptolane Forum instead of the Fastlane Forum then!

And MJ will have to write:
The Millionaire Cryptolane
UNCRYPTED

Everytime you post, MJs mining script runs in your browser. But when you receive a like, you get a portion of the FastlaneCoin, which he's going to ICO at the height of the market.

Funny thing about rep: add enough value over time and your rep bank keeps increasing even when you stop posting for a bit.

I find it funny getting likes from comments I made months ago in a thread I don't even remember commenting in. I'll sometimes go back and read the comment that was liked, just to see what the heck I even said!

Would be nice to sort alerts by "quoted you" and "mentioned you" outside of the likes though. When I come back after a couple days to 200+ likes, it's hard to sort through that and find the people talking to (or about) me. I'm certain I've accidentally ignored people because I missed them quoting me on a thread I no longer follow.

It's habit forming psychology via variable reward. It's one part of a four part loop.

I was going to suggest MJ to crypto-nize the Rep money and open a coin exchange to trade them for other currencies. Ticker symbol XTFF. You can "mine" points by posting valuable stuff on TFF. Or you can buy them with bitcoin. Then you can sit back and watch your portfolio (and the forum posting) explode!

It has crossed my mind!

That said, I'm considering making the bank redeemable for stuff; books, Amazon gift cards, INSIDERS subscriptions -- a Fastlane store so-to-speak.

I agree, the Rep points are valuable and should be monetized.

MJ, I am offering you $244 REAL US Dollars for your points. Anyone wants to outbid me and offer more?

Good idea!

That can make for a more effective token economy.

I'm thinking that hustlers or freelancers who want to get started can also do some favours in exchange for reps too.

Ideal situation:
1. Take action and provide value in the real world
2. Come back and post stuff, get feedback, provide gold nuggets on the Forum
3. Get repped well.
4. Buy Fastlane stuff
5. Provide better value in the real world
6. Repeat all steps
7. ......
8. Profit!

This ideal loop can also ensure that we buy Fastlane things SPECIFICALLY for our needs, and not just buy books or gift cars to action fake or 'chase the silver bullet', because we put in sweat equity for our posts and reps.

4. Buy Fastlane stuff

I'm thinking of a white, fashion-fit t-shirt with a cool, non-cheesy bold "Unscripted " logo on the middle front or upper-back of the t-shirt, with MJ's signature at the bottom left corner of the logo in calligraphy / lettering script.....I can already see this happening!!!

I was hoping we could use them like S&H Green Stamps.... no? I was hoping to buy some cuff links or maybe a 17" Solid State Color tv with a UHF tuner or how about a portable AM/FM/SW Solid State radio by Megatone?!?
