[[Image:Coins_bars_level_mail_logout_bar.png|right|thumb|325px|Your currency totals can be found in the upper right-hand corner of your Whirled window.]]'''Currency''' refers to the different types of money in Whirled -- coins, bars, and bling -- which can be used to purchase goods within Whirled and, in the case of bling, can be cashed out for U.S. dollars. All currency is tracked in the Whirled system in hundredths. However, you cannot list something for a fraction of a coin or bar and bling cashing out is only allowed as integers. [[Image:Currencychart.png|left|frame|A chart showing the relationships between currencies in Whirled.]] {{clear}} ==Coins [[Image:Icon-coins.png]]== [[Image:shopwithcoins.png|right|thumb|325px|Click the button with the Coin picture to purchase the item with coins.]]Coins are earned by playing [[games]], earning [[passport|Passport stamps]], selling items for coins in the [[Shop]], and through the [[Affiliate Program]] on Whirled. They cannot be traded for bars or for bling, but they can be used to purchase coin-listed items in the Shop. If you list an item for sale in the Shop, and you opt to sell in coins, your profit will come in the form of {{profit}} of the list price in coins each time someone purchases your item. So for example, when you list an item for 1,000 coins, you will be credited with 300 coins for each purchase. These credits will be logged for you to see on your transactions page. Users will be able to purchase your coin-listed item in both coins and bars. Bars are worth {{barworth}}. {{clear}} ==Bars [[Image:Icon-bars.png]]== [[Image:Coins bars level mail logout bar.png|right|thumb|325px|Click the coins or bars icons to see your transactions.]] Bars can be [https://billing.whirled.com/billing/login/loginForm.jspx bought from Three Rings], received from a full subscription to [[Club Whirled]], exchanged for with bling earned from Shop profits, or earned through the [[Affiliate Program]]. They are used, as an alternative to coins, to purchase items in the Whirled Shop. To get bars, click the golden bar picture in the upper right-hand corner of your Whirled window and use the "Buy Bars!" button, or use the "Get bars!" link from any item in the Shop. '''For more information on purchasing bars, please see the [[Billing FAQ]].''' If you list an item for sale in the Shop and you opt to sell in bars, your profit will come in the number of bling equal to {{profit}} of the bar list price each time someone purchases your item. So for example, when you list an item for ten bars, you will be credited with three ''bling'' for each purchase. Or if you list an item for 1 bar, you will be credited with .30 ''bling'' for each purchase. These credits will be logged for you to see on your transactions page. Remember, bling is the currency that you can cash out, so listing in bars is a good thing! See "bling" below for more information. Users will be able to purchase your bar-listed item only with bars. Currently, a bar is worth about 10 cents. {| |- valign="top" |[[Image:transactions.png|right|thumb|325px|The bar version of the transaction page, with "Get Bars!" button.]] |[[Image:shopwithbars.png|right|thumb|325px|Click the button with the Bar picture to purchase the item with bars.]] |} {{clear}} ==Bling [[Image:Icon-bling.png]]== [[Image:bling transactions.png|right|thumb|325px|From the bling transaction page, you can purchase bars with the bling you've earned, or cash out.]] Bling is Whirled's "cash out" currency. It is earned by listing an item for bars in the Shop. When someone purchases that item, the item's lister earns bling. Game creators will also be rewarded for creating games that players like to play. Every day, a "bling pool" will be created based on the total amount of time that Whirled players have spent playing games. This pool will be divided up among game creators proportionally based on the number of total hours their game was played. See also: [[Game Developer Bonus Bling Pool]]. {{clear}} ===Exchanging Bling for Bars=== Bling can be exchanged for bars on a one-to-one basis via the transaction page. In the "Exchange Bling for Bars" section, specify the number of bling you wish to convert to bars. Because bars and bling are both only transacted in whole numbers, you must enter a whole number here. ===Cashing Out=== When an account has 500 bling or more, the account holder can cash out. To do so, go to the bling transaction page, and in the "Cash Out Your Bling!" section, specify an amount of bling that you would like to convert to cash. Bling can only be cashed out in whole numbers. Fill out the cash out form, then submit your request. When a cash out request is submitted, the request is sent to and reviewed by Three Rings. If all is well, the money will be disbursed to the account holder '''''on Wednesdays of the following week''''' via [https://www.paypal.com/ PayPal] (and ''only'' via PayPal, currently). You must have sent in your cash out request by '''midnight PST Sunday''' in order to receive your payment the following week. Examples of situations that might hold up a cash out request are such things as the possibility of the requesting account being "hacked" or compromised, or the account holder appearing to have used an exploit to have gained bling. '''Cash outs are limited to once every 30 days''', and the Cash Out Your Bling! section will show a countdown until you are allowed to cash out again if you have cashed out within the previous 30 days. Creators who earn over $600 during a calendar year in the United States of America will be required to provide a 1099 tax form to Three Rings. {| |- valign="top" |[[Image:CashOut.png|none|thumb|300px|Complete the form to cash out your bling.]] |[[Image:BeforeFulfillment.png|none|thumb|300px|While you have a cash out pending, you can see it in green on your transaction page, with an option to cancel the cash out.]] |[[Image:AfterCashOutFulfillment.png|none|thumb|300px|After the cash out request is fulfilled, it will be logged on your bling transaction page.]] |- |colspan="3"|[[Image:Cash_out-time_until_next_cash_out.png|frame|none|The Cash Out Your Bling! section will show a countdown until you are allowed to cash out again if you have cashed out within the previous 30 days.]] |} {{clear}} ==Viewing Your Transactions== [[Image:Shop-tab.png]] To view your transactions, click the Transactions link in your Shop tab or on the currency symbols in the upper right-hand corner of your Whirled page.
