Wow thanks for this information mate I never thought it's as easy as that, I've been searching everywhere regarding this and I'm so glad that I found the answer. I really hope this project will get a lot of attention though, it seems very interesting and very user friendly. It just doesn't really have that much big of a community, when I have questions regarding this project I have to look through a lot of google search just to find the result, it took me almost 2 days to know how to do a land transaction if you didn't mention it here I think it will take me longer lol. Anyway is there a telegram group? I really want to be a part of the community.

Not from the team but I've been looking into the land manager. Basically, to sell land you go to your land parcels using the sidebar and then click the transfer button next to it. You then put the address of who you are sending it to and click transfer.

Thanks for mentioning the Decentraland land manager. I didn't even hear about it and don't remember if it was in the roadmap (then again, this is one of many projects I'm trying to keep up with). It looks extremely convenient if you have MetaMask. Literally all you do is just go to land.decentraland.org and you can view your land in relation to everyone else's.

I have a question: if I want to buy land or sell land, how do I start a land transaction?

I'm really excited about the new land manager that is just released in beta. I think this will be really convenient to see our parcels while also being able to sell them to others.   Good progress!

I still have this question.

Still wondering if there are updated schedules and details about the development process and what is next.

Decentraland Project Updates — February 5th

News and updates from the Decentraland project

Visiting the Bay Area
We’ve recently returned from a very exciting trip to San Francisco where we met with several leaders in VR and crypto. Most notably, we gave a talk at a Google-hosted crypto meetup, and we’ve joined with the 0x Project and IDEO’s CoLab in supporting ERC821 as the standard for non-fungible tokens. There is a growing demand for distinguishable digital assets, so it is increasingly important for the NFT community to come together in support of standards. We also had the opportunity to meet with the HTC Vive content division to discuss our plans for the Decentraland project and the potential to collaborate with their developer network on content creation.

Hello, South Korea!
Our latest stop after San Francisco is South Korea, where we have been meeting with various exchanges, media partners, crypto-collectible based game developers, and major game studios.

On February 6, Decentraland founders Ari Meilich and Esteban Ordano will be speaking at the Hashed Lounge crypto meetup alongside the Research Manager of Hashed, Kim Kyung Jin, and the Aelf co-founder, Zhuling Chen. The meetup’s agenda ranges from stable coins to multi-chain processing, to token-based gaming.

We are excited to share our latest updates with the meetup and look forward to talking about our vision for Decentraland and the future of token-based gaming.

Proposal for Decentraland Scripting
Scripting will bring Decentraland to life. It goes without saying that valuable, memorable experiences within VR must be both immersive and interactive. We understand that we can only provide meaningful experiences to Decentraland’s visitors if we first provide a positive experience to our developer community. To that end, we would like to propose this standard for a Decentraland scripting engine. At a very high level, we recognize three requirements for a scripting engine and SDK: power, usability, and security.

A powerful engine must be fast. This rules out most interpreted languages. The Decentraland SDK must give developers complete control over elements contained within a scene, and it must receive events generated within that scene. Ideally, a powerful system will also give developers the ability to define GUI elements.

Making the engine usable means that it must run on any web browser. We don’t want to limit the platforms used to access Decentraland. Our SDK should provide a robust sandbox environment, and it should make it easy for developers to debug their code. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel, so our SDK should reuse as much existing technology as possible. This will help to ensure that it is accessible to a wide range of developers with varying levels of experience.

Last, and definitely not least, we need our scripting engine to be secure. It should allow developers to create applications within Decentraland that can collect, store, and use private keys when facilitating micropayments. Our scripting engine should also provide a mechanism to safely interact with other peers and applications across Decentraland.

After working through these criteria and examining potential solutions, we settled on TypeScript as our top choice for a scripting language. TypeScript compiles right to JavaScript, it is easily debuggable, and it allows developers to do more with less code. As an added bonus, its typings also serve as embedded documentation for the SDK.

For a deeper dive into our thought process and to join the conversation, check out the proposal on GitHub.

Decentraland at the Rare Digital Art Festival
While creating standards for the development of NFTs has been a big focus, let’s take a step back and look at what the community has been doing with these new digital assets! The Rare Digital Art Festival is a vibrant new forum where leaders in collectible digital art are doing just that.

Kieran Farr, a founding advisor at Decentraland, recently represented us at the first gathering of the Rare Digital Art Festival on January 13th in NYC, along with the creators of Rare Pepe Wallet, CryptoKitties, and CryptoPunks to name just a few of the participants who spent the day exploring the intersection of art and blockchain technology.

i checked you post. and you are like a doge that barks and will never bites (will have a real point). please stop making so mich noise for nothing in all the topics you are visiting.

Still wondering about this as I think it will provide users with a more intuitive experience!

Meanwhile, ETH went from .19BTC to .10 BTC in less than a month. We are experiencing Q1 lows. Things will be back up. That's how the market works.

From my understanding, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like users are able to drive what happens in this world. They are able to do what they want on their own land. If a subset of users want to set up games / quests / whatever, on their own land, then there is no restriction. It's just up to them to get it going. I think that's one thing about this project that I really like is that the sky is the limit.

Decentraland Seoul Meetup, South Korea (February 06 10:00 UTC)

Are you serious? This is the dumbest comment I have read today...

From all the sh*tcoins, with close to zero volume there are always some to pump, look at all the graphs [do not limit yourself to 24h ;-) but look at januari i.e.] of the top 250, they are almost all downward...

How would this be a scam? They put time and effort in releasing the CLI, which does work. When the editor will be live, people will start developing their land.

Why is it decentralized?

1. LAND owners can do whatever they want on their land, no restrictions (besides maybe district land)
2. No need to pay a centralized company for ingame credits, or cash outs, it is all possible in the free market

You need more reasons?

With this project, will users be able to drive the direction of Decentraland? For example, can users set up games to play with other users on land? Or rent out land for a time? Maybe even have quests and things to keep users entertained?

This project is unique and I still have a question. Why did you decide to use tokens for this project and what is the advantage?

I've been following this project pretty closely and I'm still really interested in how the development process is going. Is there a list of features that you are in progress of adding and ones that you have added but are still testing? Are you in need of more developers on your team?

Of course from FOMO everyone's selling their altcoins and rushing into Bitcoin to ride the wave and sure enough, it was hitting the moon. Meanwhile, MANA coin by Decentraland was also rising so that caught my attention. After doing some research I realized that it is in essence a replica of "Second Life". What makes it "decentralized?" Who knows? From reading the whitepaper, I wasn't able to gain any insight as to how this differs from Second Life. It boasts that users can "create" their own products or services, well Second Life offers that as well. Is this "virtual" land decentralized? Honestly, I can't tell you that they are because that information is simply not given to us.
