[Opensim-dev] Currency

[Chris Hart]

Re: [Opensim-dev] CurrencyCouldn't disagree more - ReactionGrid has no inworld currency and no plans to ever have it. Encouraging creativity, sharing, and collaborative learning has proved more than worthwhile to us. And quite frankly, the legal and tax issues around running a currency system should require dedicated qualified experts to manage correctly. You can do a huge amount without play money inworld - and if you want to pay someone money for a product, there are many solutions out there that are properly regulated by financial services authorities.

Money should be something you can add in yourselves if you want (hence I believe it's on Forge these days), but I completely understand core developer reluctance to have code in trunk that could potentially come back to haunt with "your code ate my money" complaints.

Has this always been the case? Why was SampleMoney and OpenCurrency removed?

Without currency opensim regions and grids devolve into nothing more than 3D chatrooms.

OpenSim and the OpenSim project don't provide a grid currency
implementation.
