No, I don't have to accept it. I'm going to use common-sense backed interpretations of past currency rules. Some particular aspects of our past use: A coin is "physical", in that while you can do calculations with things like negative quantities, you can't actually transfer a negative coin. Further, you can't initiate a transfer if you don't "have" the coin to transfer. This fits within the "pledge" as I didn't specify how I distinguish between valid versus invalid transfers. I don't intend to be "sneaky" with this - when/if the pledge becomes formal I'll be more formal if it seems needed. -G.
