Credits: The 6502ish Economy

Credits on 6502ish work like the byte-based economies on classic BBSes. Almost everything you do earns or costs credits, measured in bytes (KB, MB, etc.).

Earning Credits

You earn credits by:

  • Uploading files to the File Exchange (based on file size)
  • Accepting friend requests
  • Getting upvotes on your posts
  • Participating in community activities

Spending Credits

Credits get spent on:

  • Downloading files from the File Exchange (based on file size)
  • Giving awards to posts (Golden Floppy, 5.25" Badge, etc.)

Free Stuff

Some things are always free:

  • Re-downloading a file you already downloaded
  • Downloading your own uploads
  • Super Admins download everything for free

Tips

  • Check your credit balance in the File Exchange header
  • Upload files to build up credits before going on a download spree
  • Credits are displayed in byte notation (KB, MB) for that authentic BBS feel
