Topic: Open Metaverse / OpenSim (Read 1975 times)
I still want to set something up, but... Sonic Generations and Mongrels... so later.
OpenSim and Bitcoin are made for each other.
As James Wagner Au noted:
Should OpenSim Use Bitcoin As Its Virtual Currency?

Bitcoin is an open source, peer-to-peer virtual currency which is generating a lot of discussion among the digerati lately, who variously describe it as either the most revolutionary innovation since the Internet itself, or an impractical exercise in libertarian onanism. (Or something in between.) One major hurdle: There's very few goods and services to buy with Bitcoin. Meanwhile, OpenSimulator is an open source, peer-to-peer virtual world technology which is lately showing some relatively impressive activity, but has a huge hurdle of its own: There's no universal currency with which to buy virtual content across the many OpenSim-based worlds.
The truth is Metaverse is a centralized currency integrated with Virwox. If Bitcoin comes into play then Metaverse will lose some aspect of autonomy. This essay was just for show as they have their minds made up already. I believe Metaverse is tied to Euro at this point.
Honestly, it's their loss. If they can't see the inherent benefits of including a sound currency in their project, they are missing out. They'll be regretting this attitude years from now when Bitcoin is proven.
