Even without the acronym, basing it on coupons for genuine things seems interesting, essentially preventing inflation. With smart paper money, it could even update to reflect relative value should things change.
Base currency should be something common, that everyone needs. A night's lodgings, a meal, a unit of energy, whatever seems appropriate to the setting. Like a gold standard, except something more functional than gold.
Face value of all other coupons updates automatically to reflect their value relative to the base item, and all merchants hooked into the official system are obligated to take it.
Private citizens, and therefore gray/black markets, can decide whether the face value is acceptable to them- but any real arbitrage will make itself felt in the real market fairly quickly to correct the imbalance.
>>44399372

Eclipse Phase has an interesting take. Since there's no need for currency, people trade reputation and favours.
>>44399758
According to the wiki, it flip flops between actual currency and items they traded for currency. Kelvic crystals, something called mesot, crindar is the Scarran currency, corvinium, karack metallite, borinium ingot. A lot of the time, they just use the word currency.
>>44399746
Pure fiat currencies annoy a lot of people. Is it crazy that eventually they might get to have things their way again? Really, the 'value' of a dollar is honestly whatever upsets people the least these days, and it might end up being that what people really want to use is a commodity currency, even with it's flaws.

>Pure fiat currencies annoy a lot of people.
But what constitutes a commodity is also fiat. A country with bountiful food supply but little energy production would prioritize the latter as a "commodity" over the former. Really, whining about "pure fiat" is whining about state fiscal controls, which aren't ameliorated by so-called commodity currencies because the state still has the capacity to focus on one commodity over another, be it physical currency or the goods they're based on. People would always want to trade what they have in lieu of currency because it's quicker and is generally easier to game. Hell yes I'd trade a few of my grandma's fake diamonds for a house some idiot thinks is worth it.
>>44399959
I think it's sort of impacted by how much of space is colonized and how easy it is to move goods. If you have considerable FTL and universe-wide production there won't be a shortage of anything.
>>44399372
TEQ (tradable energy quota)
>>44399959
You kind of missed the point. It is not necessary for money to be worth any specific amount of anything, only that it be useful.
If what is useful, in terms of being psychologically comforting, is the ability to always exchange a certain amount of money for a specific thing, that becomes reasonable.
In a far future society, the use of interest and exchange rates to determine the value of currencies is probably going to be buried so deeply in computer systems that it will be beyond human recognizance anyways. Allow the computer which determines the proper value of a currency to also determine the supply of a particular thing, electricity being easiest, and you've created a commodity currency which is also being constantly moderated the way a fiat currency would need to be.
You're assuming that ordinary people with limited information are going to continue to assign the value of a commodity- stupidly, based on your example. That's true now, but assuming the future will always be that way is absurd.

I remember something about a plug in for one of the browsers that converts any usage of cruise missiles into the equivalent in full-ride college scholarships.
Fact is, the military rarely worries about the cost of a particular piece of equipment as long as it was necessary to accomplish the mission. When I was in, if the mission called for three 500 pounds bombs launched in two sorties, what that might cost wasn't ever considered. Congress has to account for the cost overall, but it's basically a single line item in an emergency war funding bill.
Now, mercenaries, smugglers, or rebels might seriously need to consider that sort of thing. If they run out of money, or fuel, they might not even be able to make it back to get their reward for the mission.
Or corporate security forces, having to worry if their department budget covers firing the guns an additional time to make sure, or if it's going to be coming out of their pay when the total cost is calculated.
>>44400404
Fuck off, I'm describing no such thing.
What I'm describing is the height of pandering and lazy fixes. Taking the human need for security and automating it so that no one actually has to take responsibility.
Humans being stupid won't change much- humans actually deciding things will. A commodity currency is pretty easy to configure as a goal for an artificially intelligent system, and managing the supply of a single item as much so.
The actual exchange rate would be decided by aggregate human stupidity- much like the stock market.

In the galactic core where of the civilization are mostly just communal AI Dyson clouds, the only tradable commodity is solar energy time and area.
The main unit that the machines offer organics after the Terran-Silicon Peace Accords is the Sprite.
A Sprite is the equivalent, correcting for energy received by a square meter of space over the course of 24 Terran hours at 50 light seconds from a F0-class star at 50% hydrogen depletion. One second is equal to 1,420,405,751.77 wave cycles from a photon emitted from a hydrogen atom changing electron states.
Sprites are subject to heavy localized inflation. In the thickest portion of the arms and core, a Sprite is roughly equivalent to Terran Protectorate's currency: The Big Mac. (A unit roughly equivalent to 800 organic calories.) Rimward, where stars are rare and transportation costs skyrocket, a Sprite is roughly equivalent to the yearly income of the average organic engineer.
>>44400954
Been reading about dyson clouds because of this. Is the idea that they send beams of energy from the satellites to the planets or ships, which are then used as normal power?
Moolah.
>>44399840
There will always be a currency as long as we never fall down back into bartering.
It has nothing with how much material worth it has or what it holds, simply what the people who want the currency believes it's worth.

Honestly, since energy is actually what you need for life, both silicon and organic, you just construct ecosystems and design custom made life for the dyson ring/cloud/sphere. At half of Mercury's orbit, you have many orders of magnitude more usable space than any planet for organic life, as long as you figure out the water cycle, radiation shielding, and other important stuff. Honestly, you're best off transferring to silicon and living in the cloud a few centuries before you settle on a path in life. Take freelance super computing work with your low level math functions and spend the rest of your time navel gazing around a main-sequence star until you decide you want to weave Gilorian sex baskets for a couple thousand years.
>>44401145
Yes, I meant kcal by "organic calories". The idea being that silicon life is worried about solar output and organic life is worried about making enough ATP everyday. They don't really compete for the same resources and both are staring down the barrel of Universal Heat Death. A being can transfer back and forth between silicon and organic living several times before data irregularities render their consciousness mostly static.

It returns to a bartering system for the typical adventuring space-goer. Different planets are bound to have their own strange currency, Interplanetary economics are going to be overly complicated, perhaps too involved for the typical gamer. If the setting has rare minerals or easy to carry resources that players could carry about they're more likely to use them for trading with these systems.
If the players frequent only one or so locations they'd probably stick to local currency though.

No, I'm literally spelling it out stupid. Look how many different currencies are on our planet alone. We're likely talking about numerous solar systems, which will each do things their own way. Go ahead and get space ruble bills in flying robot carpet planet, but you won't be able to use those worthless paper trinkets on abominable snowbeast world when that yeti bitch tows your junked out ship and wants money for the repairs upfront.
Food, Supplies, Weapons, etc., those can be traded out just about anywhere with a bit of haggling. When the nearest Federal Trade Union ATM is lightyears away and your buddy is going to be ripped in two by some eight -foot tall gorilla/shark gene splicer thug collecting a debt you better have something tangible to give him right now or he's gonna learn his place on the space food chain.

>>44402067
But flying robot carpet planet and abominable snowbeast world along with metallic mantis moon all have a tarrif free trade agreement and since it would be silly to be constantly exchanging currencies they use crystalline promissory nodes as a single currency in their trade bloc. The winged bivalves of tandoon also use the nodes even though they aren't in the trade bloc because of their close proximity to trade routes and because their own currency is not as strong.

I always wonder about something like dark eldar currency. Like a kabal producing "souls" to pay and facilitate trade. 1 soul = 1 base slave. And then dividing from there. half souls, quarter souls and so on. The currency being backed by the fact you can exchange it for a slave with whatever kabal.
As for what they would be called could be as plain as souls, or maybe Black Hearts or even Vects.
As for normal currency in space RPGs. I'd probably go the nicaraguan cordoba route of just naming them after a founder, or something.

Oh yeah, we should totally be Financial Crusaders, converting over the dirty stick traders into our fiat monetary choice. Traders shouldn't even be allowed to exchange goods. It should be a purely space node for space node process. People will just eat nodes, throw nodes at each other for weapons, and drink from your almighty teat of legal node tender. Space should just work like it does on Earth in developed nations. Like second Earth, but less gravity and space bitches. We'll just stop adventuring and start investing into the interplanetary node market and before you know it we'll be huffing space node dust off of a quad of azure hued breasts. Not really what I was expecting, but sure man, it's your thing and we'll go with it.

Let us assume that civilizations advanced enough for FTL understand the worth of energy. Let us assume that currency is backed by energy, and purchasing represents an exchange of energy for goods and/or services.
Let us arbitrarily assume that the politicians who started energy-backed currency could only think of joules when they were trying to figure out what unit to name the new currency after.

You... Really need to read that book. The lack of currency in the universe has nothing to do with economics or trade, but the absurdity of existence. There's, similarly, no life in the universe, and any life forms you do encounter are merely the result of a deranged imagination.
Granted, even with the less comical angle, that isn't necessarily true, but you're mostly looking into such crazy things as the species being unified into a single consciousness or living in an entirely virtual world at that point, or some draconian crackdown on trade itself.

Inflation depreciated SAGs in a hard way. Those shitty third-world planets that still cling to SAG currency need a wheelbarrow of them to buy a loaf of bread. Hell look at your own post if you want an example of inflation gone rampant.

I know right? Why is everyone against it? Pic related did the same thing and people just bitched bitched bitched.
It's almost like culture, politics, and religion are complex issues that can't just be handled with broad-spectrum politicking.

Secondly,
It's not that complicated. You have a population of persons native to a region, they live simply and only ask the government to look out for their best interests. When that government starts putting the interests of others before the interests of the constituents who uphold it, it loses the right to rule.
You're literally getting pissed at a man who is advocating for
1-upholding the laws we ourselves put in place regarding borders and immigration
2-preventing a mass influx of persons whose culture is undeniably linked to hostility and violence toward the rights of others, in the best interests of the persons who elect representatives to safeguard their rights from threat
3-monitor persons and organizations that have numerous red flags attached to their records (which we already do, btw)
Now the third is the only bit of his approach that even his constituents object to, but honestly there isn't a candidate out there who is against this so it's a moot point. (inb4 muh magic Bernie paradise)

Blarts.
They are crystals that vary in color. Few colors are rarer than others and due to the crystalline structure will break down into the same shape every time and will never vary and breakage amount you get per break per size. As soon as get get to a certain size, their structure is so solid they become indestructible. The size is about the size of a US quarter.The lore of this money? No one knows it because these crystals came from alien farts from a civilization that is long gone. They use crystallized alien farts as a currency and these crystals were only found on a few planets where the alien raced colonized. So they are considered "plentiful" but there is not nearly enough to devalue these crystals into a worthless currency.

16 As = 1 Denarius = 1 day menial labor
25 Denarius = 1 Aureus
As human (or xeno) labor will always be a scarcity, it makes a good basis for your currency.
>>44411267
I didn't even think about that. Just imagine if you try to analyze the crystal structure so you can find out why it is indestructible it is just the movie paul blart 2 always on repeat and each molecule is just a paul blart meme.

I pray to all that is holy, and unholy that you are correct anon.
So from this thread I've gathered there's a few possibilities for futuristic currency.
One is a form of Fiat currency that is backed by government alone, one that is probably named for and backed by a powerful leader.
Another is currency backed by rare metals or an energy unit.
Another is a currency backed by labor or time spent doing the labor.
Any other types you can think of?
You can of course just go with an Eclipse Phase or 40K style "credit score" style of system, and assume the use of barter for anything that falls outside the scope of those.Generally most of these assume some sort of loyalty beyond filthy lucre though.
Hey, you could totally call your space money lucre.
For my space game, I use Imperial Marks for the Empire, Credits for the Alliance, Planetary Units/Units/PUs for Free Traders (that is, one planet's resource production per year, because space decatrillionaire doesn't need to fuck with the small change), and everyone else is pretty much past money as a technology.

I'm not pissed at Trump actually, I just don't agree with his policies since they aren't grounded in logic, nor are they inline with the values our nation was founded upon (although I will admit that second point is more of an opinion-based one). To address your points...
>1-upholding the laws we ourselves put in place regarding borders and immigration
I am not against this. We have a system, and it should be what's used. I'm Texan and my state suffers from their presence. Fuck illegals.
That said, people aren't so simplistic you can just declare whole swatches at a time to be horrible or no, which is what Trump is trying to do. So yes, it is that complicated. Anyone unwilling to recognize and deal with this complexity is unworthy of setting state policy. Our nation was built upon the recognition of the individual, our immigration policies should reflect this. Individuals are shaped by the religion and culture they are raised in, but are still individuals. They should be judged on their own merits. We are not a monolithically-cultured Nation State. Either everyone's equal or no one is.
>2-preventing a mass influx of persons whose culture is undeniably linked to hostility and violence toward the rights of others...
Again, we have immigration policies for a reason. If we actually used it properly (screening the legal applicants while ferociously keeping out illegals), such things would be taken care of. Trump is right to call for immigration regulation, but rather than calling for the use of the laws on the book to actually be enforced he's calling for racial supremacist bullshit which is both unethical and ineffective. Again, this nation is about the individual. Keep the radicalized sand-niggers out, let the Iranian doctor who wants to live somewhere safe and is willing to contribute in. We are a nation of immigrants.

>3-monitor persons and organizations that have numerous red flags attached to their records (which we already do, btw)
Yeah, we already do that. We don't need a racial charging for our efforts to be effective. We need to streamline and fund the system that is already there.
The reason I posted Hitler was in jest to your lack of use of rational arguments to refute that Anon in >>44407828 . You just threw out some line about "putting unruly races and religions in time out", which honestly makes you look like just another ignorant 4channer and then belittled his opinion and made some illogical comparison of Trump to Joan of Arc. My point is that you can do that whole "well this is just like X so fuck you" argument with anything. It doesn't prove shit, so don't use it.
Oh, and the whole "one distopia for another" bit? I'm sorry but (and I mean this in the most polite way possible) it makes you sound like an edgelord faggot. We're in the first world and despite what sensationalist media on both sides would say, statistics show the average US citizen is safer than they've been in a very, very long time.

Unfortunately, people are quick to give in to their instinct to just throw everything into broad-spectrum categories rather than deal with things on a case-by-case basis as reality demands. It's kinda sad that you look throughout history and it's such a rare thing to see actually identified and dealt with. Those groups that do often cease to as their own unique identity solidifies, then the cycle starts again.
Still, while it's sad, don't hold it against them. They're only human, and many don't get the education or other form of worldly exposure to know better.
It still boggles me we force kids to learn chemistry and physics but not sociology, psychology, and anthropology.
