Slap me if this had been posted before, I cannot find it.

Ever wanted to try something new that involves money but don’t want to risk losing all your cash?
Ever wanted to setup a slot machine but worried about people clearing you out because of cheats?
Don’t trust your code 100% but need to test it?
Want to put a bit aside for the future?
Want to keep business apart from your spending sprees?

These are just a few things that have crossed my mind recently. Having all my money in one pocket I find is not really safe, think about it you just made a vendor for your shop but there is a bug when some one puts the wrong amount in it gives the amount the products costs back maybe every one in 10000 transactions?

What if that was to happen and some one realized and decided to take advantage? Its possible, so where would it leave you after? Your 20k in profits is not a stone cold zero.

Now what do people think to having bank accounts? Not an unlimited number but a way for people to divide up there money. No overdraft rubbish just a way to divide up your money to give you just a little more protection or to help you keep business from pleasure?

Now I’m not talking about setting up big banks and ATM’s, I’m talking about client side and/or website management of your money and accounts.

Now I know full well this would mean a lot of big changes and testing, it affects a hell of a lot of things code wise but also economically and peoples spending habits.

So barring in mind the massive changes a system would need and bring about, what do you all think?


(please excuse me if I have rambled on , I cant help it :p)

You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.

create an basic alt and drop your extra cash on them. it's the cheapest bank account you'll ever own. they even generate fifty lindens worth of interest a week. just remember to log them in regularly.
