Hey,

I sent in a bug report about this. But for this past week, I recieved exactly $1 for my base stipend, and $0 for my bonus. This is before taxes. Typically I get the standard $1000 for base and anywhere from $900-$1100 for bonus.

This is the third week in a row with a stipend error on my account:

Week1: Payed 2 days late
Week2: Underpayed $550 (later corrected by the Lindnes- thanks!)
Week3: (this week) payed $1

An I just unlucky, or is this a common hiccup in the system?

Thanks
-Bone

How much were your taxes? How much money do you / did you have?

The economic system is a tad on the complicated side and without that information it is hard to judge whether you experienced a bug or not.

Ama,

Thanks for the reply. This is my situation BEFORE taxes. The lindens have gone on record saying that the base stipend is set at $1000 AFAIK. So even if I did earn $0 bonus this week, I was shorted $999 in base. This is before taxes were subtracted from the money I "earned". I hope this cleared things up a bit.

A little but not really, if you have over $3500 cash and you have no taxes then you will get no stippend, thats how the system works. Thats why I asked how much money you had and how much taxes you have, because I can think of a situation off the top of my head where $1 stipend before taxes is not a bug.
