I'm interested in the perspectives both of people who sell in grids and of grid owners. I am building a grid for a company that wants to use a Kitely model of fictional currency combined with Paypal instead of using OMC or Podex. I think the complexity of setting up fictional currency + Paypal could outweigh the advantages. I need both perspectives so I can give my client the best advice. </span></span></span><br></div>

<div>What? OMC and Podex both offer "fictional currency" backed by real money. Any grid with an exchangeable currency provides "fictional currency" backed by real money in one way or another. Your choice is whether to contract with a company (OMC or Podex) which specializes in this, or to making your own system. <br></div>

<div>Making your own system doesn't just mean writing code, you will also have to choose what rules to apply. If I were doing this, I'd think deciding on the rules would be harder work than writing the code.<br></div>
