A currency is only usefull if it's recognized as tender.

I for one won't be recognizing A$$ as money. Besides I don't do biz with that company - and that policy won't change.

So - I say go peddle your A$$ elsewhere :)




Lucky for everybody else, you only make up .00001% of the SL
population. So whatever you don't recognize really won't matter.

Why is that lucky for... for example, me? I don't understand why Siggy's acceptance or otherwise of this "scheme" should be lucky or unlucky for me, nor anyone else. I look forward to reading your well thought out response.

Unless of course - I am the only person you can get a particular thing from :)

In which case - you better bring them L$

And this scenario isn't too unlikely - it's already true.

And if we apply RSB Logic back - your an teeny teeny part of the population too - so your acceptance means very little also.

I'll stick with the encumbant tender - I have no need for A$$ as I never do business with her.

But it doesn't matter how much of the population I make up.
If I'm for a 2nd currency and I get a number of others to
support it and engage in trading it, you and your posse will
be left out of the wealth being created.

So if you ignore it, its no loss to the rest of the population.

This is where you're making the mistake Nyx. Your head needs to be up someone else's A$$.

I see it the opposite - the hard road is yours really.. See customers coming to me and living there will need both currencies - folks who don't only need one.

The path of least resistance.

We are 'the rest of the population' I think you'll find. Still let the experiment begin - I have nothing to lose if it works and a jolly good chuckle if it falls on its A$$.

Either way my world won't change, and I think folks will get tired really fast of exchanging currencies back and forth.

Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why do they put a guarantee on a box? Hmm, very interesting.
Ted: I'm listening.
Tommy: Here's how I see it. A guy puts a guarantee on the box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
Ted: Yeah, makes a man feel good.
Tommy: 'Course it does. Ya think if you leave that box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter.
Ted: What's your point?
Tommy: The point is, how do you know the Guarantee Fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, but we're not buying it. Next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
Ted: But why do they put a guarantee on the box then?
Tommy: Because they know all they solda ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is. Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for right now, for your sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality item from me.
Ted: Hmm. Okay, I'll buy from you.
Tommy: Well I... What?

I'll really love seeing you and others trying to subvert the new users constantly coming in and telling them to ignore the big 'L$' shit that's all over the client. That'll go over like gangbusters since I'm utterly confident you'll have the numbers required to back you guys all up when you ask the n00bs to make that leap of faith.

Tommy: Hey, I'll tell you what. You can take a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?
Mr. Brady: [confused] What? I'm failing to make the connection here son.
Tommy: No, I mean, you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ass, but then..no. It's gotta be your bull.
Richard: [embarrased] Wow.
Tommy: Here's the deal. If I want you..
Richard: You have derailed.
Tommy: Shut up Richard.
Mr. Brady: Boy, I've really got a loss for words here.
Tommy: Forget it, I quit, I can't do this anymore, man. My head's about to explode. My whole life sucks. I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where I'm going. My dad just died. We just killed Bambi. I'm out here getting my ass kicked and every time I drive down the road I wanna jerk the wheel INTO A GODDAMNED BRIDGE EMBUNKMENT.

Times like these call for citizens to take up arms.
This issue will only be settled by a Civil War.
North v. South.

The era of SL Secession has begun...

The interesting thing about declaring a civil war against the Lindens is how long you last before they ban your A$$.

You are right. LL has a history of GOMing people who get
out of line and cut in on their business,..

On the matter of hitting your own head up your ass with a lump of wood - always.
