	An explination about the site currency.
Beside your username at the top of the site there is a Jewel counter. This represent the number of Pearls, Diamonds, Sapphires and Rubies you currently hold. 1 Pearl is worth 100 diamonds 1 Diamond is worth 100 sapphires 1 Sapphire is worth 100 rubies So if you have 1000001 Rubies, you will see 1 Pearl and 1 Ruby. This system was put in place roughly a year ago. Recently I hit 1000 Pearls, and I decided the algorithm was not serving a meaningful purpose. As you can see among the top 16 people, there is a wild difference. Also consider that 90% of people had less than 10000. +------------+ \| jewels \| +------------+ \| 1016128814 \| \| 1374276 \| \| 12447750 \| \| 28933392 \| \| 177098996 \| \| 131462614 \| \| 181463146 \| \| 1013773 \| \| 754177 \| \| 171471274 \| \| 176593953 \| \| 221936 \| \| 148354 \| \| 222092 \| \| 1036501 \| \| 159421 \| +------------+ So the only option was to reset this to zero for everyone, and start over with a fair algorithm that scales linearly. There are currently 3 ways your Jewel count increases. 1. For every page view, you get 1 Ruby. 2. For every day you use the site, you get a number of Jewels based on your current rank.
