gollark: I mean, you just calculated krist mined per hour compared to the average US wage, which makes zero sense.
gollark: So you just... randomly decided on that?

gollark: Where did you get the "2.2 krist = 1 usd" from?
gollark: I figure it's probably okay EULA-wise as long as servers do not sell things *from admin shops* for krist.
