I think I'm going to go with VirWox, their support is very good - and good thing is that I'm not living in the land of paranoia... whoops, sorry... in US - EU laws are pretty relaxed compared to US ones so that won't be a problem :)<div>

I signed up as a "tester" with Open Metaverse Currency (OMC) provided by VirWox (<a href="http://www.virwox.com/" target="_blank">http://www.virwox.com/</a>). The actual module for OpenSim is being co-developed by the University of Vienna, and they are very, very friendly in helping to set things up on their "sandbox" — which is good enough to do all proper testing and make sure it works with their system, but doesn't actually transfer any currency. Setting up the "testing" environment is quickly done with plenty of support. Actual approval to get listed in the currency exchange depends on a lot of factors (based on credibility, amount of expected merchants selling content on the grid, and so forth) so it seems a reasonable serious operation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>VirWox has provided a L$ currency exchange for a long time and is not exactly a company which just popped up and grabbed an opportunity... they are just extending their services into as many OpenSim grids as possible. One great advantage of their service is the ability to transfer L$ from your Second Life account into currency used in OpenSim grids, and vice-versa!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Teravus is also quite correct to point out the liabilities of running such a system, specially if you live in the US or host there. Other countries are far less paranoid about those things.</div><div><br>
