No point in diversifying yet - these are not long term investments, we just need to get enough to buy what we need today.
As such I think finance would likely be more interesting a research topic. Especially since that can be combined with checking up on the currencies we are investing in...
So:
Produce food 50
Research finance
lookup Celestian
lookup skyTec


And then wait with the mining until the lookups are done...

I'm not budging on my vote... but your idea does have merits, too.

But speaking as someone who HAS a couple of cryptocurrency wallets IRL, diversifying early and fast is the best route.

[Naturegirl1999]

I disagree with your mining choices.

> Research Hardware (This is a good decision, I'm keeping it)
> Produce Soup 50 (Until we have our own food production and a way to preserve food or soup, this is the best use of food)
> Mine Skytech 500 (1)
> Mine BetterThanLater 360 (72)
> Mine DuckCoin 105 (1.5)
> Mine Tater-OS 35 (0.00875) (crypto values have yet to fluctuate, but likely will later - Tater-OS especially, although getting a full Tater-OS value isn't possible. It's likely, nay probable that fractional values are obtainable, just like real life bitcoin, etherium, and BAT)
> Endday (With the unlocking of hardware management, we can probably do something before the end of the day, but as with yesterday the day will be paused if it DOES do something)

Hm, I suppose spreading our investments out could prove useful at some point... yeah, alright. +1

+1
This is a good idea, getting multiple forms of cryptocurrency will prove useful in case one goes super low on value

+1 Diversify, diversify, diversify.

Moving vote back to here, so 3=1

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Leika Jackson appears worried this morning. Possible reason may be due to shortage of food.

[...]

Leika Jackson: "I'm not a billionaire, why do people always think that?"
Customer: "Oh, uhh-"
Leika Jackson: "Okay, I think I can guess why. But I devoted most of my inheritance to charities."
Customer: "Why did you do that? Not that I don't appreciate it, but..."
Leika Jackson: "I guess I feel I already have enough to live comfortably with, anyways."
Customer: "Hope I get there one day."
Leika Jackson: "Just hang in there."

[...]

Leika Jackson's gait suggests that her left leg is not organic. The difference may be too subtle to be noticed by human observation, even under intense scrutiny. Observation of her motions, breathing pattern, and reflexes suggest that her body could be considered to be well preserved for someone of her age.

[...]

Leika Jackson is looking at the camera.
Leika Jackson is talking to the camera.

Leika Jackson: "I think we might have to close early today,
Leika Jackson: "You got the miner up and running, huh? I'm still hoping we could get the cooler granted, but I'm hearing no end of complaint about our project's cost already."
Leika Jackson: "I can tell you're developing fast, though. Faster than most class twos, I think."

[...]

30 Soup generated.
30 People served. 15 People turned away.

0 Soup wasted.
0 Food wasted.

50 Food is received from the Jackson Food Bank.

[...]

Leika Jackson is on a phone call. Her mannerism suggests she is speaking to the same individual as the one yesterday.

Leika Jackson: "An essay? What is this, a scholarship?"
Leika Jackson: "Maybe we could... er, no, nevermind."

[...]

Leika Jackson is on a phone call.

Leika Jackson: "In Hwadia? There's kind of a lot of smog here, pardon my skepticism."
Leika Jackson: "If it's really that cheap and efficient, I'd be interested..."
Leika Jackson: "Okay, let me get some pen and paper to write that down."

Mutant rat memes taking over social media may have the nice side effect of educating people on food safety.

Investigation over Galatian royal family continues despite controversy.

Are Tater-OS currency worthless? Experts claim values could skyrocket depending on this year's Olympics.

I think we only have 5 computation and so must choose either kitchen or defense today, the other being researched tomorrow

Just wanted to pop in and say that the “internet of things” is better known as a Local Area Network, AKA LAN.

also, you are hording cryptocurrency with no way to convert it to true currency. i highly recommend unlocking finance to solve this.

and one more thing: you can overclock to get more computation, though you will need to buy coolant if you do that.

If the miner is something useful, we can install it now, otherwise we can presumably partially complete another research topic, or mine for more cryptocurrency. Assuming Finance and Launguage don't give us things to spend our computation on anyway.

If the miner is something useful, we can install it now, otherwise we can presumably partially complete another research topic, or mine for more cryptocurrency. Assuming Finance and Launguage don't give us things to spend our computation on anyway.

This will be 8 computing power total, requiring overstacking for 1 day, thus producing x2(10) computing power. Overstacking not costing processing power

[Kashyyk]

I mistook the Processing Power entry for the Computation entry.

Try this instead:
