So, I've now invested in a spanking new working computer with more gru power than i can shake a stick at and this means I can spend loads more time in SL on MiLOS, bringing out more products and really driving it forward.

The problem that I face now is that my avi's still a cloud, and it's quite difficult to develop products without the visibility of my avi.

I've tried (I'm pretty sure) everything under the sun to try and fix the problem to no avail. I've now resorted to sending a support ticket to Linden Labs although I'm not confident I'll hear back from them in the short term.

So...I'd like to offer L$5,000 to the person (avi) who can bringing me back to solid (not gas) form and I and I'm sure the shareholders would be eternally grateful :)

Please feel free to respond here or email me at milosdesigns@gmail.com I'll do anything...please :P

I do my best to try and find a balance between "freedom of speech" and the right of people to post a complaint about something in our forums. Unfortunately a few people choose to take things too far and often make things personal or type things totally inappropriate. Many of those people have been permanently banned from our forums already, and I will continue to do that when needed.

Overall 99% of the shareholders that post have great things to say, and even have valid criticisms that should be heard. But there is a big difference between constructive criticism and personal attacks especially when they come from people that aren't even shareholders in the company (often they are competition). Note that I'm also encouraging CEO's to not only monitor their own forums but to follow the guidelines themselves as on rare occasion a CEO's response has been inappropriate as well.

If you see a comment that you feel is inappropriate Morgan, please IM me and I will address it immediately. I appreciate your input and promise to do what I can to keep things here civil. My focus has always been on running the exchange and not getting bogged down in the forums. Sometimes it's necessary to say "negative" things when there is scamming or rules violations, but for the most part the discussion in these forums should be positive in nature. Some people disagree with me on that, and that is their right to do so. I encourage those people to create their own forums on websites they own or have control of, and have whatever discussions they deem necessary. But in the Capital Exchange forums I ask everyone be respectful to to follow the CapEx Terms of Service which at the end of the day I (and my legal advisor) determine.

There's no need to have further discussion on this, so I'm locking the topic. Anyone can IM me privately if they wish to comment further. Thank you all for your cooperation, and let's work together to make Capital Exchange a positive experience for all.

I do understand the complexity of programming itself but it's kinda like my philosophy on computer repair. Just because you know someone will pay it, doesn't mean you have to charge it. I hate how companies like Geek Squad rape people just to fix a computer when the cost of the repair is really only about $15 bucks but you better believe they will charge you $70.

I suggest you do some googling, electronic payment chargebacks. But i'll make it simple for you, the primary reason for bitcoins success is that merchants don't have to add the chargeback cost to their prices.

ie: when you do a paypal payment for a non-physical good, you have upto 6 months to reverse that payment and the merchant has to take the cost (for ANY reason you the buyer sees fit). The same is true for wire-transfers, money bookers, netteller and all online payment gateways. To be more specific, paypal gets a chargeback fee (expense) from either the CC company or the bank, and it forwards it to its client (Linden Lab), finaly you get the bill in form of Lindex trading fees.

That's the reason virwox has its fees, and deposit limits, and why LL's lindex also has its fees. Those fees offset their fraud costs, in the meantime the RL banks and CC companies pocket billions at zero risk.

This is why i believe bitcoin is quite popular among the people who understand how ridiculous our banking system really is, it only serves the banks and socializes risk for everyone else.

As I understand it, you can't deposit L$ at Virwox anymore, which means that effectively, you can't use them (or any exchange other than the Lindex) to cash out.

I find it interesting that they're charging buy/sell orders the exact same fee as paypal does, but it costs them nothing since it's just database entry until they actually send it to you at the flat fee, it's a single lindenlab paypal account and it's not moving anywhere.

From what I see, you can have a minimum of 2 days because they process only on the middle of the week. Every time I've ever cashed out it's been hit around Tuesday/Wednesday same time as my stipend comes in. So they do the premium/grandfathered stipends and cycle their week of payouts at the same time. So if you make the withdrawal request on Monday it's got to wait the whole week around to meet the > 2 day requirement, so it turns into 8 days. At least that's what I've seen with mine. It certainly is frustrating though to wait so long instead of just a flat number of days with a batch processing job nightly.

I think the desire to avoid paying unreasonable transfer rates to banks for international transfers is the main force behind such online schemes.

Bitcoin is one, the linden dollar is essentially the same. The are tens, not even hundreds of others. Take World of Warcraft, or Microsoft or Entropia a.s.o. All digital currencies should then be treated the same. Although yes, i understand that what makes bitcoin so "dangerous" is it's anonymity. Which might as well be death of it. Or it may not be.

EDIT: Not everyone is a crook and a thief and to ban something because crooks "might use it" is just weak.

Alain, you're wrong about this one. Questions are already being asked to minister of finance (and president of the Eurogroup) Dijsselbloem who will need to present answers on Bitcoin studies, if they are used for moneylaundering, if it can and should be taxed etc. I believe the US was ahead with their 'moneytransmitter' laws and Europe may follow up to create something similar. The Liberty bust may just speed up the process because it shows this is serious business.

I agree with you that Bitcoin will be extremely hard to take down and communities will fight to keep it up. And if it goes down there will always be new systems invented for the same purposes. The desire to move around anonymously is too great.

i think you are a bit off there. Haven't we had this conversation already? I remember punching in the same lines. Anyway, the authorities across the world will need to do so unilaterally. And as you can see (or maybe not, because you don't follow bitcoin news being an anti-bitcoin person) then the US authorities already have tried to shut down mt.Gox They only shut down their US bank accounts, which does not do much, as long as you have e-wallets like skrill, paypal and others out there. The japanese company is still operating.

That is also besides the point. The amount of money invested in bitcoin by many, many people is huge. I will take a wager from you, that even if the authorities manage to shut down all current bitcoin exchanges, make it illegal across the world and threaten to put everyone who uses it in jail, another exchange will pop up, simply because the money involved is so big already, that it is going to be worth the risk. There are people like that out there. And i am not talking about Banana republic's at all. How's the bitcoin debate going in the Netherlands? I'm pretty sure legislators there don't even know what it is. Or take Russia. Do you think they would start banning bitcoin any time soon? Thailand? There's about another hundred countries in the world, where one could operate.

In essence, i think it has gotten too big too fail.

P.S. I do not like the money-laundering possibilities either and the fact that one can easily evade from paying taxes as well. But that does not make bitcoin all bad in itself. One could launder money in many efficient ways long before bitcoin was here and tax evasion is as old as the taxes themselves, so to blame or to put bad light on bitcoin for that does not make sense in my mind. It's more of a state of mind for some people and those people will find a way, regardless if bitcoin exists or not.

I personally think bitcoin is a great innovation. A way to do payments across borders without giving huge premiums to banks. Why should we? Sure there are negatives to it, but those can be ironed out.

EXPANDING

After one year, Bowler Business Review will transform into The Sim Street Journal by the same creator, Eleanor Medier. As Jetman Bowler hands over the reigns of this now successful and influential publication, he will focus on further growing his investment portfolio and clientele. Eleanor has ambitions to editorially bridge Second Life and real life. Representing the international culture, its relevance and signficance, into an audience that has no understanding of virtual reality, leads her into areas of reality that Bowler does not choose professionally.

Hence, the birth of The Sim Street Journal, using the new name for real life appeal, and its reference to the Wall Street Journal, that melds real culture and commerce. The Sim Street Journal seeks the real in the unreal--the results of the first truly international culture.

This wrap up issue features:

• "From In-World to Out"
Highlights from the top most-read articles.

• "In Search of Balance"
Eleanor Medier describes what she has learned about virtual publishing, business, and introduces the new direction for The Sim Street Journal. .

With two versions of the magazine (online and in-world/PDF), each format has strengths:
• Online accommodates longer articles, is scannable, and copyable to readers. It is less pictorial and pages are subject to choices by the reader, so they are less graphic.
• In-world allows a book format that can be worn or razzed, permitting highly graphic presentations. Shorter articles work better with large photo illustrations.
Please enjoy each format for what it does best.

The Sim Street Journal seeks to define virtual culture, commerce, and its relevance to first life. It evolves and adapts from Bower Business Review:
• honors all advertising contracts
• builds upon the exisiting distribution network
• hopes to attract the almost 3,000 readers
• representation of back issues with timeless wisdom shared

Thank you to all the contributors, advertisers, kiosk hosts, and readers who have made Bowler Business Review a success. Please watch for the launching of The Sim Street Journal on June 1st in-world and online at http://www.simstreetjournal.wordpress.com. Hopefully you will find its articles as engaging as those from Bowler Business Review!

Yes, if bitcoin were widely accepted as money that businesses are willing to accept in return for goods and services, then you would be right that it can't be shut down because of the p2p aspect.
However, as long as that is not the case, bitcoin is merely some "delusional virtual gold" that some use to launder ill gotten rl money, and others use to speculate. For these purposes ALL participants need places like Mt.Gox to stay operational, and it's not hard at all for authorities to effectively shutdown bitcoin by closing down the exchanges.
You may think it won't happen, or that alternatives in some banana republic will pop up if MtGox is taken down, but you'd be dead wrong to think nothing authorities can do will hurt bitcoin.
The people using Liberty reserve thought they were safe also. Think again.

Sad for possibly thousands of innocent people who had put money into Liberty and had nothing to do with moneylaundering schemes or other criminal activity. Like Bitcoins people just get inspired and play with the systems. I wonder if they will go after and find Satoshi. He actually could be in trouble if they find his identity, while he may not have done anything wrong or criminal, aside of creating a masterpiece of software that conflicts with financial banking- and tax systems.

I agree that this was the sole reason for Linden Lab's actions. They were losing millions of US$ a year and this instantly increases their revenue and profits. I think it stinks though because it has caused some people to leave obviously.

Nothing changed in that respect. Where do you think the L$ that were previously bought through third party exchanges (TPE's) ultimately came from?
Previously, in as far as demand for L$ outstripped the supply from sellers at TPE's, those TPE's were operating as buyers of L$ at the Lindex.

The only differences that the change in regulation will bring will be twofold:
a. Almost by definition L$'s offered by third party resellers to the public will be more expensive than before, since they can't operate an exchange anymore. Thus the volume traded through these resellers will suffer greatly, because everyone who can buy L$ through Paypal/Lindex will do so.
b. The trading volume at the Lindex will go up, because sellers of L$ have no alternative anymore. Any speculation that Linden Labs will create an "authorized buyers program" also is based on fantasy. Not going to happen.

Overall, demand for L$ may very well drop in my view, since some may abandon their business in sl because cashing out is getting too hard/impossible for them, and some residents may have trouble buying L$ despite the reseller program, or already threw the towel before the announcement was made.
How big an impact this will have is hard to predict though.

Marishka

If there's increased demand for Lindens - Linden Lab will print them out of thin air and steal from merchants through inflation.

To me it's the same as everything else in the economy. Regulations are used to impose additional overheads and barriers to entry. This prevents small start-ups and locks the population into their low-paying jobs.

I mean: When 3rd Party Exchanges are forced to buy their Linden Dollars only at LindeX then there is massive need of L$ - so its value should go up?

Those massive Sell normally @247 should be cleared much faster.

I think what she means is that not everyone has the ability to use PayPal outside of the US, so if they sell their lindens on LindeX to US$, they have no way to convert it to their local currency. This is why third-party currency exchanges were so vital in places like Europe, because the activity could all be done outside of having to convert to US$ first. I'm sure at some point there will be an "Authorized Buyers Program" too.

However, from a more philosophical standpoint I'm not impressed at all. This sort of restriction on an economy can only be a bad thing. I'm sorry but fraud is less of a problem than people think it is. Over-regulation is what kills economies in the long run. Let's hope the trend doesn't continue.

I have to disagree with you. I don't think Linden Lab is heading towards eliminating withdrawals of lindens, nor do I think everyone should liquidate their lindens. I think this new policy has to do more with eliminating fraud and forcing people to cash in and out through LindeX so Linden Lab gets the revenue instead of others.

I have some great news to share with you all!

While Capital Exchange itself is not a currency exchange, we do rely on many international (non-US) traders that cash in and out (and trade) on third-party currency exchanges. A recent decision by Linden Lab to shut down all third-party currency exchanges has had a drastic negative effect on Second Life. Seeing the error of their ways, it appears that Linden Lab has started an "Authorized Reseller Program" to try and solve the major problem they created when they shut down these third-party currency exchanges.

Please take a look at the link below that explains the program:

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Dollar_%28L$%29_Authorized_Reseller_Program

It looks like there are some new restrictions, so things won't be the same as before but it's better than nothing.

It's my hope that this will keep many non-US traders at Capital Exchange, as well as give hope to the International Currency Exchange (ICE) and Moneyservers (MSX) to remain listed and profitable. We'll see how this affects currency exchanges and how they operate. Hopefully things will go back to normal.

Any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you and enjoy the great news!

I asked Concierge this question in 2011 about people within the game giving others lindens, and I was told yes it's fine. It was asked verbally, so I don't have any written determination, but what you are explaining sounds fine to me. It's just like when someone deposits lindens in the Capital Exchange ATM (under CSV Republic). Technically, it can be called a "no interest loan" to CSV Republic even though someone can take back all their lindens at any time.
