Frackin' Reserve - A Fractional Reserve Banking and Compound Interest Simulator
(1/1)
Renegade:
I started writing a tutorial on fractional reserve banking to help people understand and visualize what it is and how it works.
And, I ended up writing a mini-program to help there, then ended up porting it to the web.
The desktop version (Windows only - .NET 4) is here:

It's very, very simple. The complete source code is available (but keep in mind, it's a tutorial, and not good programming) and free.
And the web edition is here:

Anyways, just a couple stupid little things that you use for a few minutes until you get the idea, then toss away. Hopefully they'll be useful to help some people visualize and understand what fractional reserve banking is.
Cheers,
Ryan

Quite interesting.. I have to read more about this but I love that you wrote some code to demonstrate the principles.

Great educational tool for a subject most people have only heard about. (If they knew more about it they'd be losing more sleep than they already are.)
Of course, leave it to Renegade to write a whole program instead of just doing this in a spreadsheet. He's a coder for sure. :P ;D

I posted here:

About starting some new cross platform development with C#, Mono, and GTK#. I'm using Frackin' Reserve as my "Hello World" project there.
I've also made it available on Git Hub here:

Or what's finished & committed so far. Been a bit busy lately, so I haven't finished it. Just working out some platform specific things at the moment. Having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to open an instance of Finder on a Mac right now... (Because they just work ;) Right. ) It's only for an error check, but still a good part of the learning process.
Here's the state of the program available now at Git Hub:
As you can see, it's running beautifully on OS X now.
Here's the best part... I can compile it on Windows, and run it on Linux and Mac. :D Compile once. Run everywhere. (Some people were saying about HTML5 and JavaScript? :P )

Thanks this will allow me to better explain how the Federal Reserve is robbing everyone blindly.
