[Opensim-dev] Leaving Project

[Impalah Shenzhou]

Yes and no.

I am not talking about 2 friends connecting their sims, I am thinking in
thousands. I can't have in my computer a database with thousands of
"trusted" users... well I can, but I don't want to waste space.

Visa, Paypal, American Express, etc... all are trusted organizations. When
you make a monetary transaction you (or the web where you are, or the bank
that web uses...) will always connect with one of these "trusted" services.

I could trust in you, but you need to tell me "you are really you" with a
local login (i.e. email headers can be altered to impersonate as another
person) or someone I trust should tell it to me (i.e. OpenID).

Sorry for the off-off-topic :-(
