Sure glad i don't have to draw Iki's pretty get-up anymore. :U I like her better casual.
So yeah when Meatware is disowned, it's no longer a slave but still not quite a citizen either. Citizens are registered with the co-glom, corporation comglomerate, a shared network of corps that recognizes your identity as a citizen.
Credits aka creds are the various currencies of the Structure. The really big corps have each their own currency, smaller corps use these mother Corp Creds. Different CCs may be interchangable between different corps. Besides CCs there's also digital coupons that can only be used with specific brands, being paid in coupons is legal and fairly common. Assures the monopoly of a single brand.
Your citizen account keeps track of how many corp creds/coupons you have, deducts them automatically when you buy something. Your citizen chip gets implanted under your skin, to pay you just swipe it over a scanner. Physical money as such does not exist, making it hard for non-citizens (like trashware or illegals) to make a living in the Structure. Only option would be throw-away cred cards, like gift certificates. One time use only tho, no recharging with creds possible like with a proper account.
