First. The idea that if stippends are dropped, people will stop paying premius, and LindenLabs will go under. Here's some calculations I made on another post, but I think they're important enough to be visible at the top (someone let me know if I made a mistake)
This data is for yesterday, May 22nd.
Total transaction fees: 9,300,512
Average rate: 320.83
Previous day's rate: 316.77
%1.23 difference. Let's take that to assume that almost all of the linden put up for sale yesterday went through and were bought, i.e. half of the 9mil above was buys, half were sells.
Average quantity traded: 4,532
Now, calculating the profits. Half of 9,300,512 is 4,650,256.
For sales, multiply that by the %3.5 selling fee, you get $162,758.96L, which at the 320.83 rate comes out to $507.31USD
For buys, divide the 4mil by 4,532k, and multiply that by $0.30 buy fee = $307.83USD
Total LindenLab profit from yesterday's transaction, about $815.14
Which is equal to a bit over 81 monthly subscriptions, or 11 annual subscriptions. That's for ONE DAY. And it's not fair comparing that to annual, unless you multiply this to a year, which would be, to be conservative on this, $750 * 365 = $270,000 / $74 = 3648 annual subscriptions. I repeat, if the Lindex stays where it is right now, it makes as much as 3648 annual subscriptions by conservative estimates.
Second. If you are THAT upset about not getting any stippends, I have a proposition for you. Pay me $10 every month, and I will pay you back $3,500l in stippends, or $807L a week, minus what I take for the time spent buying it for you. Heck, even pay me $72US right now, and with a little bit of investing, I am sure I can make that be able to pay you at least $500l every week for the next year. If not me, I am very sure someone else out there can do that for you too. Heck, you can even do it yourself.
