  • Changing credit scheme

    From Deepthaw@1:103/705 to All on Mon Jul 3 19:41:06 2017
    Is there any way to alter the credits <-> bytes calculation?

    I'd like to limit users to between one or two GB a day and millions or billions of credits is turning into clutter (oh, the problems we wish we had back when BBS's were current!)

    Not exactly. You can alter the percentage of credits awarded to the user, but the 1 credit = 1 byte thing is sort of hard-coded.

    Yup. And the use of 32-bit integers means you can't really allow more than 4GB per day (for example).
