My current list of Very Cool Job Titles is:
The Shadow Chancellor
Red One
The Accession Council
I was going to add "The Treasury Devil" to this list (after reading https://mastodon.social/@davidallengreen@mastodon.green/110468127661981753), the government's most senior external legal adviser, but disappointingly that's just a nickname and they're really called the much less cool First Treasury Counsel.
@sil Pay spies - such as the player characters. The shadow paymaster general is not the big boss, no, but will have personal knowledge of the big boss - of one of the many sides and factions.
@bartnv It was solving this particular problem that took us years - regulatory authorities aren't what anyone would call quick.
But now we have wallets that are recognised as bank-like thingies in some countries, and we can start running real Web Monetization - as soon as the last kinks are worked out of the browser extension.
@bartnv Haha, I see this only now. You're right that the ILF combines radical openness with confused communication - though we hope to improve the latter. I'm going to share your comment internally.
