I want to rename the in-game currency (Kredits) as people get confused between KoolSource Credits and In-Game Kredits. It is also annoying when you want to type 3000 kredits as 3k.

I am looking for suggestions for the new name. Once I have received several suggestions I will make a poll and we can all vote.

Please reply with your suggestions.

Thanks.

how about changing it from kredits to calling it Nuggets and use gold nuggets instead of gold ingots as the currency rate.

I will give you 50 nuggets for that Sword!

I think ingots are a little too rare to use as a currency. However nuggets work better as a player who is in desperate need of money can go to nether to hunt pigmen for money.

Where as looking for gold ingots would take a very long time and no guareentee of finding them. And converting nuggets to ingots take a while too.

Simply my cents

I don't think it would be fair to change them to nuggets at this point as some people would be profiting so much.

Koins still leaves us with the issue when you are talking about thousands, 3k could still mean 3 or 3,000 with Koins.
