You're very welcome for the update. We're going to keep them coming from here on out. 2x weekly between now and launch, unless people object. At each update we will be issuing unique in game items and skills to all players who test. So hopefully we'll get a ton of players!
Your shopping list and other play each month are maintained on the blockchain as a single continually updating blog posting and relevant comments. The game play dynamics use upvoting between merchants and other players as a reward for play.
Upvotes translate into $$$ on steemit ;)
