Hmm what about establish alternative currency for chipmusic and pixelart community???
It will be currency re-bound/linked to real computer hardware (so no gold or silver).
Old computers and consoles prices are rising so currency will rise too.
Why Chipo??? It is inspired by Euro currency or proposed Amero currency.
Banknotes:
10000 Chipo = 1 x Atari Falcon 030 (Ultra Rare) or Sam Coupé / Commodore 65 prototype (Very Rare)
5000 Chipo = 1 x Panasonic Turbo R (or Sharp X68000)
2500 Chipo = 1 x Amiga 1200 or Amiga 3000 / Amiga 4000 and CD32
1000 Chipo = 1 x PC - Engine, Turbo Grafx, Turbo Express
500 Chipo = 1 x Amiga 500, Amiga 600, Amiga CDTV, Atari 1040STE, Atari MEGA STE, PC286/486
100 Chipo = 1 x Atari 800XE, 65XE, 130XE, 800XL, C64, C128, ZX Spectrum, Atari 7800, Atari 5200
50 Chipo = 1 x Sega Megadrive, Sega Genesis, Sega Nomad, SNES, DS, DSLite, DSi, PSP, PSPVita
20 Chipo = 1 x NES or Sega Master System and Atari 2600
Coins:
10 Chipo = Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Pocket, GBA, SP, Micro
5 Chipo = FDD Drives, monitors, Flash Cartridges (USED), IC chips for repair, power supply
2 Chipo = Atari/Commodore Joystick, Sega Gamepad, NES/SNES Gamepad etc etc
1 Chipo = Audio Tapes /never used/, cartridges
50 Cent Chipo = 5"25 DD floppy disks /never used/, FDD boxes, cartridge shells
20 Cent Chipo = 3"5 DD floppy disks /never used/, FDD boxes, cartridge boxes
10 Cent Chipo = original cases and keyboards
5 Cent Chipo = original cables
1 Cent Chipo = original screws
Why? When we will create "Chipo Bank" and "Chipo Bullion Depository" place (stock house) where will be all computers and game consoles located (in excellent and secure condition). We will have enough real HW for future use. So we will withdrawal from the market all 8bit, 16bit game consoles and
computers (ebay, web auctions, electronics second hands, bazaar markets etc etc).
And when you will need new computer or game console you will just go to "Chipo Bank"
and change "Chipo Money" for real NES or GAMEBOY etc etc etc...
PS: It can be nice pixelartist project...
