Greg,--
I was the one that asked about the "burn rate" on the tokens. Based upon
their answer, it shows in the top-right corner for each given session of
Bob. Holding that to be true, for the demo, I believe I saw a number near
4 (just under). So, that would be 4 Bob Coins.
Now, let's consider this - that was specially chosen as a "small, easy
example" - so I think we can extrapolate from that for a reasonable, medium
task, and then again for a complex, real-world task.
I keep hearing two words in my mind - not cheap.

After watching this, does anyone have a grasp on how Bob Coins are--
consumed?
How do I know what this is going to cost me each year?
IBM: Look at this awesome new product
Me: Wow, I'm very interested. How much does it cost?
IBM: We created a fictious currency that is consumed as you use it,
so we can't really tell you.
Am I missing something?
