Neshaten Currency Devices

:!: This is current not approved for IC usage :!:

These devices are designed for the sole purpose of transferring RN, the form of currency used by the Kingdom of Neshaten. Other than Personal ID Crystals and subsequent computers for accessing Data Crystals*, they are the only devices for currency transfer approved by the Neshaten Division of Finances.

*Personal ID Crystals do not require an RN Receiving Device to transfer funds, as most computers have the ability to access Data Crystals. Only in the case of Data Crystals may funds be transferred using a computer or device other that the RN Receiving Device.

RN Chips

RN Chips are inserted into pieces of jewelry (such as bracelets, necklaces, and rings) that can be worn by the use in order to make them easily accessible. Once the chip is inserted, the jewelry needs only to be moved near an RN Receiving Device to make a transaction. All transfers using RN Chips requires a hand/paw print, both as a digital signature and as verification of identity.

Due to the ability to transfer information through their tails, My'leke may use the ends of their tails as replacements for RN chips without requiring a paw print. Doing so is commonly seen as a more secure method of transfer as it is provides a more reliable method of identification than a paw print.

RN Chips have the option to operate under either credit or debit.

RN Receiving Device

Receiving Devices are designed to interact with RN Chips in order to receive transaction information. All receiving devices have three major components, a key pad for typing in the transaction amount, a screen that displays the transaction information as it is being entered onto the key pad, and a scanner. The scanner is the part of the Receiving Device that scans and reads RN Chips, as well as scans for a hand/paw print. When a hand/paw prints is taken the information is sent to the Division of Finances where the print, account information, and identity of the user may be confirmed before a confirmation signal is sent back to the device. Once the hand/paw print is scanned the confirmation process takes roughly 2-3 seconds.

Whenever a transaction is made, it is always the individual sending money that scans their RN chip first, followed by the individual receiving the money. However, all RN Receiving Devices also have a slot to plug the device into a computer, which allows information to be entered via the computer and also allows a transaction to be made without an RN Chip or a hand/paw print from the recipient as long as the computer has the proper program. This feature, however, is uncommon among the general public and was designed for use by businesses and stores.

All receiving devices also have two cords that are used to plug into Data Crystals, although this method of currency transfer will usually require additional forms identity confirmation such as passwords. RN Receiving Devices are unable to access High Security Data Crystals and attempting to do will alert the Division of Finances and may warrant an investigation.
