ok *I* have the answer to inflation. All you clothing, shoe and hair designers out there (and to a lesser degree, skin designers) -- you should give me your stuff for free. First, I'm a great advertisement. My avie looks great, dresses well, and always spreads the good word about where she got that rad new look she's sporting. Secondly, I'm personally responsible for dumping metric butt loads of lindens into the economy. I'm pretty sure if you were to stop me from doing this by just giving me your stuff, it would be a big help with the inflation thing.

So to sum it, Giving Vivi cool stuff = less inflation = good for Second Life. Be a good responsible resident and give me good stuffs today!

The only "solution" to Linden inflation is for the Lindens to set a stable exchange rate, and not allow it to fluctuate.

As the "economy" here is not commoditized (tied to gold or any other exchange material) then prices do not rise/fall in concert with the increase in the amount of money circulating.

There is no "monetary crisis" except for those people who convert Lindens to USD and take them out of the system, and they are the "money sinks" that one motormouth in particular keeps ranting about.

The rest of us just keep doing what we do in SL and wonder WTF the fuss is about. I guess if I ever get my business going in SL, and if that business ever makes enough Lindens for ME to convert to USD and take out, I'd be having fits too, but until then, the entire question is pretty ridiculous. For Anshe Chung, it's a major problem (and I strongly suspect the more frantic ranters on this subject to be employed by her or one of the other land barons) but for the great major of SL residents, it's not relevant to EITHER their SL life OR their RL income.

One teeny weeny problem... that is not a realistic rate. Land sells in the 6-7L/M2, not 39.06L/M2. Nice try though... lol.

I dunno, sounds backwards. Assuming you were buying lindens to buy stuff, you'd be doing less of that, leaving more lindens waiting to sell. If you were just using what you make, what are you going to do with them now, horde them? Spend them on something else? Sell them? Seems like a net zero effect either way.

The solution to Linden Inflation is in destabilizing the US dollar.

I am preparing a force to plant a geological weapon under Wall Street.

WHO'S WITH ME?!

Selling Linden is not a money sink, what on earth is that guy talking about? Selling your L$ just means someone else is buying it.....
