Atticus Tech has put into gear a Grid banking project. In order to motivate people to bank, Atticus has added a credit feature that will add “credits” to your account so that you can cash it in as L$ or buy Atticus products. The more you spend on Atticus, the more credits you get to spend again on Atticus. This is a great idea though, to get interest and also a very good business generator. However trusting someone that you dont know with your money, is not good. There is also the incident on the Main Grid where a bank owner bailed out with L$60,000. I just don’t see the need for a bank, it’s not like it weighs you down. Syn Swindlehurst and Eric Mauvaise have a very clean record though, and are very nice people, and if I had no choice but to put all my money into Atticus Credit Bank, I wouldn’t be afraid. Also a little warning for Eric, Syn or anyone who want to start a bank: A few stray electrons can cause a lot of damage, and if for some technical or other reason, peoples money disapears, whether or not you were responsible, you will be the scapegoat of everyone that banked with you.

And thats the part I need to be prepared for. If for whatever reason the In-World database gets reset, and the accounts get erased, along with any info they had stored, I would be unable to process anyone and give back what they put in. So I’m right now working on some ideas to better store the information in case that did happen. The beta process is done, and it went pretty well but it probably won’t be back on until a month or two when I upgrade Atticus Tech fully.
