I agree, remove the odd 71K to1 transaction from the average calculation and graph.

Keep the Graph as-is... Bunch of Socialists trying to
rewrite history because they didn't like the blemish of
free markets being recorded.

If somebody wants to sell their L$ for 400, 800, 2000,
then more power to them.. "The Market" will determine
what is the correct value. Not a history tracking chart.

I don't care about whatever you said. The graph is not professional looking and looks horrible. I'm not trying to rewrite history or erase someone's error of selling 71K Lindens for only a dollar.

Actually the current graph is a disadvantage for you it's so flat you can't see any decline to boast about. And that's the problem, the current graph is perfectly meaningless and useless because that one outlier is flattening it. It should shoot off the top like outlier high sales do.

Sorry the world doesn't live in your aesthetically perfect world.
If you don't like the graph, don't look at it. Simple solution to
a simpleton's problem.

I don't need to see the graph to know the trend. Its pretty
simple to see the raw numbers and know where the L$ is
heading. Sorry you need more crutches than I.

Not thanks to the oddball, but thanks to the half implemented market! If LindeX had buy orders, a decently programmed L$ market would have caught that order and filled it using buy orders at a MUCH better rate. Don't blame sellers for LindeX's failures to be a proper marketplace.

linden value has increased dramatically!
05-07-2006 03:40
Since the 4th of May the value of the linden has risen against the dollar from ~ 900 lindens to the dollar to ~ 300 to the dollar!

zomg!!!!!!

Such a dramatic rise is bound to have beneficial effect to all content producers, who now get far more real money when they sell their Lindens!!!!!! The good times are here!!!

lol

I agree Shaun.

Anyone who knows what a "sets" book looks like in real life (level 2 stock market information on buy and sell orders) will be aware that the Lindenx is only one sided. In other words you cannot write both buy and sell orders into the book. If you could it might make the Linden a little more liquid although in the absense of any "event change" it will not alter the underlying trend....which is down
