CFJ: Grok transferred one coin to me in the above quoted message. Arguments: Shinies aren't an asset currently defined by rules or contracts. But they served a similar purpose to coins in recent history. Additionally, I don't see any other asset or action this could reasonably be interpreted as. Thus, I think it's reasonable to interpret 'shiny' as a synonym for 'coins'. -- nch
