SaxBucks By The Numbers: A Semi-Statistical Analysis [POLL]
Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2014 2:01 pmSaxBucks seemed ripe for a semi-statistical analysis since they are the de facto currency of the Off Topics (though that pesky upstart Conquer Stars is making a bid to change that, economists think SaxBucks will continue to have long lasting staying power, longer than Conquer Stars). So let's take a look at SaxBucks by the numbers.
RATIONALE: SaxBucks only valid and tallied if awarded in the Off Topics Forum. Typically this is seen as: "+50 SaxBucks" in a post.
Where the "+" was not included, I've made my best judgment to understand the the nature of the transaction taking place.
"SaxBucks" in a few different spelling permutations have been allowed: SaxBucks, SxBucks, Sax Bucks, Sax Bux, SaxBux.
Though SaxBucks were solely the domain of the institution of Saxitoxin for the initial early stages of the currency trade, over the years new institutions have begun trading in SaxBucks. For a list of these other institutions, see the appropriate dataset below.
TOTAL AMOUNT of SaxBucks Awarded Thus Far: 74,725
TOTAL AMOUNT of SaxBucks Awarded By Year:
Inferred Findings:
FIRST POSTER to Receive SaxBucks: shieldgenerator7, May 2012.
SMALLEST AMOUNT of SaxBucks Ever Awarded: 5 (3x)

- Transactions not included: Lending of SaxBucks from one poster to another; Negative transactions where collection of SaxBucks was not immediate (e.g. INVALID: "You owe me 1,000 SaxBucks." vs VALID: "-200 SaxBucks for your post.")

- Additional Note of Caution: SaxBucks are a semi-volatile currency, and are notoriously difficult to track. Thus, while this attempts to be the complete record of SaxBucks in the Off Topics Forum, minor omissions may have been made.
