Hi,

I wanted to give a suggestion about the Lindex, don't know if this
has been raised before or not. I think alot are using the Lindex to just
store Lindens, which causes road blocks for allowing the Linden Dollar to go up. If there are millions of just stored lindens for weeks or more, at levels a person knows won't sell, it causes little road blocks that keeps it from breaking that higher level again. If there are so many just using the Lindex to store lindens and the sell orders never expire, its being used as a bank, maybe having the sell orders expire after 2 or 3 days would solve this, or atleast help the situation.

Consider offering a "linden dollar safe deposit box" in SL to just store lindens safe from accidental transactions, hackers figuring out ways to drain your entire account, or any other reason I'm not thinking of. Maybe even a little bank vault symbol by your balance so you can click that sends you to an area on the website to withdraw or deposit lindens from your "linden safe deposit box". I know people can use an Alt to store linden dollars but that takes time during transactions to get to those lindens. I'm sure there are some bank services out there, but many like myself, are concerned about sending their entire nest egg to them without some security, which Linden Lab could give and keep those linden dollars safe and off the Lindex. This would keep only the lindens on the Lindex that people really wanted to sell.

Thx,
Calvin
