Memo to V.J Rada: the smart thing to do would have been to announce the contract _after_ I announced the auction results. ;) Since the auction won’t actually close until tomorrow, I’ll reserve detailed comment for now, other than for two points: 1. I’m on the fence about this, and I fully intend to CFJ this (barring V.J Rada), to ensure that we have some kind of resolution on it. 2. The cyclic payment part looks effective: an Agoran with the fewest sh. can cycle 1 sh. between emself and Agora indefinitely. The only question is whether 1,011 single payments in a single message have the same effect as a 1,011-sh. payment would, and that’s … at least partially a question of fungibility. Anyways, the scam should be obvious at this point. I’m going to go through the motions, largely as a debugging exercise. -o
