A question of money

[Ottomancer]

Hi - I have a question about money in Traveller and hope someone can help clarify things.

My group and I are 10 sessions into Pirates of Drinax and loving it. They have recently been involved in a "joint venture" with some pirates and have a captured ship they want to sell and split the proceeds of. Assuming trust, one faction agrees to sell the vessel. How do they now send the other faction their cut? On page 97 of the core rules, it briefly talks about Credits, mentions physically minted currency, but that TL8+ planets also use electronic credits. It also states that large organisations sync their accounts using the x-boat network but that private citizens must make their own arrangements. Does this mean my group either have to:

1. Agree for the funds to be sent to a specific star system electronically via x-boat for collection, or
2. Go and pick up crates of physical credits?

Hope some of you lovely folks can help!

Option 3 Take it in trade.

Trade could be services such as them assisting in another mission where you get the ship. It could be in valuables that you need/want, even persons you want to "acquire" either specific individuals or specific skill sets. Send them to a system you want to fear piracy for set time.

Typically I would say 1. Arrange where you are sending the money, as in get a bank routing number and account number and a destination system, and then have the sending bank charge a 0.1% fee per jump to send it.

Thank you. This works.

Much simpler to just assume TL12 Vinmo. Credit transactions just work.
