It would be great if someone would build Bitcoin into the client so we
could use it as a decentralized hypergrid currency, but it wouldn't
help the OP - they want play money. Bitcoin is real money (*) - you
can trade it for dollars, RAM, illegal drugs or alpaca socks.

(*) I guess if you had Bitcoin built into the client you could switch
to a different block chain that wasn't accepted anywhere outside your
community as money, but it would seem like overkill to have a whole
P2P currency system for people who are already relying on a single
central OpenSim server in any case.
