As I said, I won't be participating in the currency economy, and it will likely affect my tendency of sharing resources, because I don't like the idea of influencing an economy I have no part in. I only say likely because I believe in helping out when I can.

I have a better idea:

Use the communal exchange for its intended purpose: drop off excessive materials.

Make a thread in this forum for material needs, with the caveat that added requests are made after checking the comm exchange.

For those who feel bad for asking for things and feeling that this doesn't help assuage their concerns, donations of commiserate materials to the exchange is completely fine.

This doesn't require any arbitrary setting of prices, doesn't require an arbiter to deal with disputes arising, it keeps myself and others who agree with me in the economy.......... and all it requires is people to 1) post and 2) be willing to transport goods to the exchange.
