Is this something we could make use of?

This sounds really neat, but I'm not a scriptor or anything. hehe.. Does the following sound like something we could make use of for Neualt?

The HRCE L$ Exchange ATMs, key relays, and the centralized server are now available as open source. Since I won't be running the exchange anymore, I'm making these available for those who may want to find out how it works.

Donations are greatly appreciated :) You may obtain free copies of the system at the Skunk Money HQ in Grignano (84, 96).

Note: since these are free (as in beer) and open source (as in freedom), they do not come with free technical support, but I'd be glad to give a free overview of how the system worked for those who are interested. I, unfortuanately don't have the time to retool/recode it for everyone for free. Thanks for understanding :)

Basically it's a code-redemption system. You have a centralized server where you can store codes that people can redeem for L$ cash inworld. People buy the codes outside of SL (using some sort of store, PayPal IPN, whatever), and then come inworld and just say the code near an ATM to redeem their L$ cash. No server to real-world communication necessary (i.e. no email or RPC).

The system supports an unlimited number of ATMs that can be spread around the world, and requires a server to be placed somewhere inworld.

I also added in a way for people to sell you L$ via the ATMs, and you would manually pay the person via PayPal (or whatever, like a check or something) at your leisure.

This thing is merely an example of a previously working system (that I don't have time to support or run anymore) that demonstrates how to do...

1. Worldwide communication
2. Secure storage of keys in a script (i.e. the keys aren't stored in the script itself, but in a notecard in your avatar's inventory)
3. UI examples

Enjoy :)

Yes. We need this. It would be for something I will mention shortly after we get the other finance bills taken care of. :)

I'll nab a copy next time I'm in world.
