Great to see! It's great to see that the average land sale prices are going down, yet it's also kind of interesting to see that the average object price is slowly increasing.

THis is great.

Thanks, Philip!

One thing that would be interesting to see on there also is weekly stipend (plus bonus) totals and averages.

Very nice.

Once again, many thanks Philip!

A question, however; Is there any way to tell how much of the money supply is "tied up" in inactive accounts? I'd be curious to see a breakdown of active accounts' balances vs. inactive/disabled accounts.

I'm not sure how accurate the latter is, what with all the free and 1L items there are out there.

This data is for all transactions greater than 0 L$, so it excludes free stuff and counts 1L$ stuff.

Thanks for all the other feedback... we'll keep adding things as quickly as we can.

On James Miller's question about inactive accounts - most (like >60%) of all SL accounts have logged in with last 30 days or so, and a quick check shows me that only about 20% of the money supply is in accounts which haven't logged in for more than 60 days.

Thanks for the clarifications, Philip.

That's actually a surprisingly low amount of inactivity. Although if ~60% have logged in in the last 30 days and ~20% of the money may be in accounts that haven't logged in within 60 days, the money distribution seems relatively flat, too. That said, 20% of the economy's cash being inactive could have a big impact if it was either removed entirely or recycled into the system (e.g. inactive accounts that are closed have their cash go into a pool and that pool is used to increase the dwell payouts, or something like that).
One must wonder if the inactive money is used in the calculations to figure out how much cash should be injected into the economy through dwell (+), ratings (+), stipends (+), auctions (-), and fees (-).
