PS Coin & My Dashboard

      • The value of PlantShare Coin, “P$C”, is based on our proprietary database of the average retail price (in USD$) of each size of each plant in The PlantShare Catalog compiled from 435 of sites on the World Wide Web.
      • Like used clothing, the value of a home-grown plant is roughly half (50%) that of a plant sold by a retail plant nursery.
      • Click the “Pricing Table” tab in any Plant Profile to:
        • compare the average retail price for all sizes of that plant.
        • find the date when the average retail price was last updated.
        • see the regional exchange rate for converting USD$ to P$C.
      • The current value of any home-grown plant of any size in P$C is determined by the exchange rate in your region or community.
      • Exchange rates are based on the current, average retail value of plants sold in retail plant nurseries in the USA (see above).
      • Exchange rates are adjusted quarterly.
      • Like any currency, the higher the demand for our services, the higher the exchange rate between USD$ and P$C.
      • Regional exchange rates are calculated based on a proprietary mathematical model that dynamically measures the:
        • number of users in a community.
        • number of plants in user accounts.
        • number of MeetUps created, started & reviewed.
        • activity in a community.
        • revenue generated from Our Shop by that community.
        • number & activities of vendors and businesses in that region.
      • P$C come in several denominations: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 P$C.
      • Common P$C are subject to increase or decline in value depending on the exchange rate.
      • Forever P$C never lose value, just like a Forever Stamp from the USPS or a manufacturer’s coupon.
      • Promotional P$C have an expiration date after which they have no value, just like a store promotional coupon.
      • Special P$C are issued from time-to-time that will behave differently than any other type of game coin. Rules for the behavior of Special P$C will be announced on issue.
      • PlantShare Coin, P$C, are auto deposited & debited to your account whenever you use or earn P$C.

PlantShare Coin (P$C) is our in-app reward and engagement token. It is not real-world currency or cryptocurrency, but it unlocks valuable learning and gaming features across the platform.

In the Bank Column on My Dashboard, you can track pending transactions:

      • Pending Debits (- P$C): Reserved when you request plants (I'd love) in a scheduled Meet-Up;
      • Pending Credits (+ P$C): Queued when you offer your plants (I'll share) in a scheduled Meet-Up.

Once the exchange is marked completed, the transaction finalizes into your active balance.

You earn coins through active community participation, high scores in SmartyPlantz and WhaZayIs, and as an immediate bonus allotment included with paid Premium subscriptions (250 P$C coins).

Coins can be redeemed to purchase additional life bundles in SmartyPlantz (a bundle of 5 lives costs 250 P$C, at 50 coins per life), unlock game hints, and access special interactive features. If your coin balance runs low, additional coins can be purchased in the official platform shop.

Your dashboard displays:

      • Your active available coin balance;
      • Pending debits and credits from upcoming Meet-Ups;
      • An estimated garden valuation (in P$C) and potential savings in USD.
