    Lightbulb Marketplace Additions & Forum Currency

    I used to browse the marketplace before but when there isn't something interesting to me, I stop and get back to the marketplace after a few days/weeks. I know we all do. But what really interests me, is the false promises of money making methods (I'm kidding, some do work or are reported to have worked.)

    Thus my suggestions:

    First Suggestion:
    To add a proper money making section for the marketplace, a place where people can sell their ebooks or methods or mentorship on money-making.

    I am not sure if it was intended but the current money making methods under hacking is pretty bland.0 Its filled with people who "ask how to make 1k fast?" or "How to direct traffic to my website?"

    With my experience on other forums (Not to compare, I love MPGH.) Its what brings traffic to their site, the fact that people all over the internet are looking for ways to make money, the key to their kidney-less-lamborghini-driving life could have been sold here in mpgh.

    I just think that maybe an additional subforum under the marketplace should be made to fill people with methods or services like mentorship to sell. Not a place to ask for how make 1k fest.

    I just feel that fixing what we have now may not attract users, as its already known to be filled with questions mentioned above. Maybe a new section would help differentiate what is filled with what.

    Second Suggestion:
    Forum currency, which we may call Credits or whatever. Which can be used for trading or hoarding purposes, may even be used as an "entry" to a giveaway.

    These are my suggestions, open to discussion if permitted or if there is any. Thank you.

    Here are some questions to think about:

    How would one "earn" or "purchase" these credits?

    Can these "credits" be redeemed for cash (money) in forms like cryptocurrency, paypal, etc?

    Would it be a similar idea to the existing escrow system that was introduced awhile back?

    How can MPGH be protected from scams when someone attempts to recover back the credits? (I assume the staff here will create a system using cryptocurrency, or something that doesn't allow charge-backs, similar to what already exists)

    Wouldn't this credit system, or currency be no different than any other that already exists external to MPGH?

    I'm sorry I didn't expand on that topic.

    How would one "earn" or "purchase" these credits?
    Earning these credits could be one of 2 ways.
    1. This type of credit I would suggest, have little to no monetary value.
    - We can earn them by making threads, replying to posts, or given by another member.
    - Since this type of credits can be acquired easily, it can be gained by buying form someone else. For example, I can sell 1000 credits for $5.
    Uses
    - This can be used for, for example, purchasing "awards" we can flex on our profiles.
    - Used to purchase name changes

    2. This next type of credit can have monetary value.
    For example, I buy 30 credits for $30, which can be used to pay for stuff sold on the site or site upgrades to premium or any other future paid ranks. Something like a bank that doesn't earn us any interest. These credits can be sold for money. Although we could also use this type of credits similarly to uses section of the first credit type.

    Can these "credits" be redeemed for cash (money) in forms like cryptocurrency, paypal, etc?
    - If I purchased these credits from MPGH itself, there would be no way to refund, as I'd suggest the buying to be made with bitcoins only.
    - I can however, sell these credits for paypal or bitcoins to other users, should they wish to buy.

    Would it be a similar idea to the existing escrow system that was introduced awhile back?
    I may have not seen this escrow system before. As I registered back then for the cheats.

    Wouldn't this credit system, or currency be no different than any other that already exists external to MPGH?
    So far, I have not seen something like this currently on MPGH. If you are referring to payment options.

    The idea of this credit system would just call back to NPCVend imo.

    The entire concept here is escrow. The suggestions for purchasing Premium Member and Premium Seller are also available on NPCVend.

    I see, if that's the case, scratch this idea then.

    I just didn't know it was the same as NPCVend as I have never been able to visit that site. It always returns an Error 5XX for me.

    I just check NPCVend myself and I guess arunforce is just too busy to fix the issues rn, or the project is being scrapped.

    With that being said, the suggestion pretty much is what NPCVend was designed to do.
