Hmmm. I think they could trade in things like clock cycles, literally tradiing runtime away.
That might be a bit grim though.
If it's a ruined post-corruption zone, then perhaps the best sort of currency is... Order. Somehow-discrete units of something that stabilizes corruption and does the equivilant of defragmenting for a program. Those who have a lot of it find it easier to keep it, and those who don't... have to gamble what little they have to try for more.
