L$ falling like a BRICK!! L$313 / $1 USD

It's being tried and while I don't have the exact numbers, I've not heard of this panning out into much for anyone. Maybe Shaun can give us a status? Regardless, it's not LL recognized because the RL legal implications are too large for a mid-sized company to bear for the time being.

Need further clarification on this one, as it makes no sense at all to me.

So every time I rez a prim I get charged? What about when i'm in mentor-mode helping a newb? What about the new who just rezzed a prim (subsequently to put it on his head, but I digress!) What about when i'm just showing a friend a new texture I bought? Or playing around building something silly with my friends with no intention of ever doing anything with it except hitting the delete button? Or the 5 million times i have to re-rez an object while working on a script...or guns or... yea...see it just doesn't work that way. I agree that this *would*, if possible, create a massive sink, but this is not a plausible option.



So only businesses and rl-well-off people could own land? If that were the case i'd never have gotten my start. Thanks though. This would drive the newbs off faster than the panic-creators. *coughs*

I don't see how any of these options would work to be honest.


*waves* Bye bye then. Don't let the disconnect hit you in the bling on the way out. I'll be sure to send you copies of all the articles that are printed in the next 20- 30- 40- years about Second Life. Don't bang your head on the desk too hard though.

Seriously, though. Why all the negativity? If you really believe that LL is doomed, why stay? Why waste your time with a GAME when you treat it entirely as a failing economy. Oh and just out of curiosity, RBD have you read the materials that Robin provided with her last announcement?

Don't forget that the $0.30 changes what the effective rate is.

With fee it does come out to 302/1. ($L3020 for $10.00)
Without the fee it comes out to 311/1. ($L3020 for 9.70)

Which ( to risk sounding like a broken record) is why the LindeX is not a currency exchange market. RL exchanges don't allow buyers and sellers to set their price it is set by the facilitating bank and to some extent controlled by the Central Bank.

I posted this some time ago, but it subsequently got buried because no one likes to listen to sense. /130/ac/102874/1.html

Look at the rate for $100.

See, the thing is, no matter how rare the slobovian dinger might become, people are not going to buy slobovian dingers unless they want to buy something that is priced in slobovian dingers.


If you want to see the value of the Linden dollar go up, provide something that people are willing to spend Linden dollars on.

If you want something in short supply, try Confederate money or something and see how valuable that is.

The volume of Linden sold on the Lindex by 10 AM today has already exceeded the 3 PM volume from yesterday.

Combine them! Make it the Taco Rubio!!!! I think it's always more fun to think about how may Tacos you can get for a dollar.
Then maybe Taco will apply his calming oven mitts to the lindex and smooth the rough waters - enticing people to stop looking at a certain LB's A$$.

You know, I never thought I'd find something to agree w/ RBD on, but this might be the greatest thing ever.

take a look at the market, he's right. Go take your stuff and shove it up your pie hole, clearly you like it that way.

A short discussion about this occurred on this thread:

/130/ce/102566/1.html

So far, it's working out great. Thanks for asking. The Cyberland dividends have been terrific so far, and for the most part the stock continues to trade above our IPO price. You can probably expect to hear a lot more from us in the comming months. The Business Week article has been terrific.

The only thing that I'm not so thrilled about is that Cyberland is still the only company trading on MSE after all of this time. I'm anxious to conduct more IPOs and really see what public sector funding can do for large-scale Second Life projects!

A thin one, too. I won't leave, because afterall, I couldn't leave if I wanted to. I will stick to my gunds on the land store issue and the L$ selling issue, however. I will find some way to avoid using LindeX at all if they begin selling L$, and as far as the land store goes, FORGET IT! If anyone blocks my expansion, and LL won't move the sims for free, I'm SHARDING!

Probably true.

I need to cash out when I need to cash out, ie when I need cash. I tried to unload at 301 for 24 hours, then at 305 for 24 hours and then said "bugger it" and sold at the last trade value which was 312.

I realise I'm contributing to the problem by selling at this rate but I'm not in a poistion to sit for more then 72 hours when I need to sell. This sucks.

My proceeds estimate went from $325 to $309. That also sucks. Hard.

Yes, the lack of buying power is definately a bummer. I can't BELIEVE the Lindens would even think about cutting in on it and stealing a percentage. Don't we pay enough in tier?

Are people noting the volume and rise in the Linden?

'Second Life's top economic mind' (self proclaimed) knows exactly where the land and economy forum is - where it's located - and what should be contained therein.

By posting elsewhere (as the usually do every 2 seconds that the Lindex changes value) they are doing exactly what she's saying, trying to create panic.

It's not an uncommon occurance for the OP to do this - in fact it happens with monotinous regularity.

So while we're on the subject of whats in whose pie hole, you like the taste of crow?

Huge panic and large number of posts when things go crazy. When things stablize, no one posts anything good.

Well RBD, it looks like my prediction was wrong and a day early. 305 maybe sometime late tonight.

I'm impressed with the recovery, it is quicker than I thought.

Can I just post a general "I told you so", and have it count as something good? Not YOU specifically, mcgeeb, but "you" in the more global sense. There is nothing to panic about at this stage.

Shaun are there people trying to drive the Linden down in value?

I want to thank all those who did panic and sell without you I wouldnt be in my lavish new sim today ty again and next time there is a panic Ill be there to buy buy buy

I dunno. I'd rather not speculate with anyone else's good name. Maybe.

Congratulations. But it is sad that those who were worried lost so much value. No need to rub salt in the wounds.

I dont think everyone lost their shirts. I gave fair warning of what the best thing to do was in another thread. I speak of those who were selling at 320-350. Selling at 311-315 isnt that much of a cut I think.
