Are any of you familiar with “Pebs”, the signifier of mutual benefit in a community from Becky Chambers “A Prayer for the Crown-Shy”?

Im right at the start of the #book but I love this concept. You gain a service/object and you give a number of Pebs that represents their value to you. Its not monetary, its a note of appreciation that helps understand community health.

Theres no reserve, and you invent the Pebs as you give them (only recording a debit against yourself as you do) — so whats the second anchor value for the scale? 1000 is “solved life-level crisis” or “gave life-level joy”?
