gollark: Doesn't make sense. Imagine if someone made a contract thing for your fractional krist somehow; you paid it 1KST and got 100cKST out. How do the fees work?
gollark: I'm not sure how to usefully implement a fee without breaking all things ever horribly.
gollark: I can impose memory/CPU limits per-"contract" but NOT easily stop people making 189621782638 evil contracts.
gollark: That is a problem I suppose, yes.
gollark: I think that would work?
