You could loan out some of your beacons to people, charge them interest based on how long they use them, and use the interest to buy more beacons, or even to buy capital to make more beacons.
Simple, Qwerty can charge higher interest rates to people he believes have a lower chance of returning the beacon to make up for the probability he might not get it back.
Me too! *Puts hand up for high five expecting one back!* EDIT: Although... Now that I think about it I have 2 stars but only one actually beacon so...
Pfftt. I have 0 beacons and can't even afford ONE! Beat that! Yeah, i'm a hacker. I have so many beacons! In all seriousness, it could possibly be Pab1os.
