W3C - Direct Trading - Moving Funds

Transfering between countries was used in the past and is easy if you do it between two or three.
When you have many, you need to switch between the countries and you click for ever. We had complaints at the time about it. Also, it works within one world only.

The direct market is a better way when you have many countries, however, it requires a lot of checking and communicating before all the data is produced.
It is fast when you have 20 or 30 entities and becomes slower as the numbers grow.

When the current round of hardware and software upgrades is done, we will test to see if it is faster, or we may decide to use data which is not up to date for the last second and already available, and make the function run faster.

Sounds good Andy.

"we may decide to use data which is not up to date for the last second and already available, and make the function run faster"

I don't understand this part..

To do the exchange, the portal server asks the world servers for current data on the cash in each country.

an older copy, is already available on the portal.
If that older info is used, there is no need for the questions and answers between the servers.

the older info wouldn't reflect the current amount, but it will at least provide access to direct trade with each country?

The problem is solved. You can transfer to any of your countries.

It is now much faster and works with any number of countries.
The data might not be 100% up to date, it is several hours old at most. Once you make the choice of the country you want to transfer to, the correct data is shown.

Sounds good!

the silence means that it is working.
I just tested, it is very fast, even with 300 countries.

Good job Andy. Worked fine for me, but then it has always worked fine for me. Mine is not a huge Empire. The inaccurate SC$ was a bit disconcerting at first, but perfectly acceptable since it is accurate in the transfer screens. A small price to pay so that others can continue to do their thing.
