Bits are virtual currency for this site, similar to Linden dollars on Second Life and other virtual worlds (but far less developed at this time).
Your Bits increase by participating in the forums, for example by posting, creating a thread, voting on a poll, being a moderator or admin, etc. I will post the details on Bits crediting soon.
You can also get Bits from other forum members who give them to you, for example, if someone likes your reply they can give you Bits. You can give Bits to others for any reason.
You can can also spend your Bits on lottery tickets and try to win jackpots and gain more Bits.
In the future, can also spend your Bits on tangible goods and services on this site. For example, you should be able to pay Bits to the Central Bank to have infractions removed, or pay Bits for special other services. More on this later. This is an uncharted "new economy" so be creative. If you have questions, just ask, we will make up an answer if we don't have one :-)
For now, I encourge you to have fun with your Bits and give them to your friends for any reason you choose :-)
