Sorry, I wasn't clear enough: I meant CoEing the Floating Rate Schedule, 
since the conversion table is slightly off.  I just wanted to avoid 
extra confusion in the next Forbes, since some can wonder why they got 
one extra coin.

Somewhat off the original topic, but with Bitcoin at least, it's
somewhere in between.

If A and B each transfer 5 btc to C, and then C wants to transfer 2 btc
to D, C (or C's software) must actually must choose how to account for
those 2 btc in terms of explicitly specified past transactions. For
example:

* C could make a new transactions where the 5 btc transaction from A is
  the "input" and there are two "outputs": 2 btc to D and 3 btc back to
  C.

* Similarly, the transaction from B could be an input.

* E could also make it ambiguous, by making it so that both A's and B's
  transactions are inputs to the new transaction. Then the new
  transaction should have a 2 btc output going to D and 8 btc going
  back to C. (C could also send the 8 btc to someone else or divide it
  further.)

I had a bit of trouble parsing the part after the semicolon (maybe due
to "and ... and ... or" without bracketing). Also your phrasing doesn't
require the Pointer to point out how the perp committed the crime (in
the case of a rule they have to include "an alleged violation"). How
about

  ...the announcement has to explicitly name the perp, cite a
  specific rule or named crime, and specify an alleged violation of
  that rule or commission of that crime by that person.

We made it that specific after someone had made very vague accusations.

Title: Specified Crime not Rule

Power: 1.7
Text: {
Amend Rule 2478, "Vigilante Justice" by replacing the first paragraph
with the following:
  A player CAN by announcement, but subject to the provisions of
  this rule, Point eir Finger at a person (the perp) who plays the
  game; the announcement has to explicitly name the perp and cite a
  specific rule and an alleged violation of that rule by that
  person or a named crime alleged to have been committed by that
  person.
[ This will allow someone to use the name of a crime without specifying
which rule defines it. ]
}

I still want to do broader criminal changes when I get around to that,
but it's a huge project and this is a quick fix.
