iirc, when linden labs wanted to clean up second life, they said either gambling or porn has to go. they went with gambling. its an area where people need a tool to exchange money for a service. i think it could be tactically advantageous to invite porn.
...however second life and opensim might have different audiences. someone with knowledge would have to chime in.

LindenLabs and opensim are very different indeed. LindenLabs is a centralized US$ corporation that offers space on their servers using the proprietary version of opensim, and opensim is the open source tool to build such VR instances by anybody who is inclined to do so.

This also explains the outrageously silly $ amounts that have been told to be paid for 2ndLife server spaces: plain old stupid artificial scarcity imposed by an exploitative monopoly.

But in the end of the day, on opensim as in 2ndLife, the owner/maintainer of the server can set the rules. In the case of opensim, I think that is quite alright, becasue if you don't like it, you can always start your own.

For the purpose of economic systems, the opensim based VR worlds are the perfect match for cryptocurrencies. So even if the VR instance (or world) is ultimately owned by the sevrer 'owner', having currencies that span all these VR worlds that are NOT owned by the server owners is very much desirable!

Guess what: right now, there is s.t. called 'Open Metaverse Currency (OMC)'. This is fully owned and controlled by VirWox, that keep it in their centralized server for 'safekeeping' for the users.

What??? How does that sound to crypto currency savants? Exactly. This OMC is a not a currency.

Early attempts to integrate Bitcoin have failed, and I think that was because of the VirWox monopoly.
 
This venue provides a competitive advantage to NXT over all other cryptos, and I have a hard time understanding why the established NXT projects are not all over this already!

The NXT platform is technologically superior to the others anyway, and what has been holding NXT back is the lack of leverage in the form of actual utility value!

OpenSim offers a way to change that!

Hi 

yes its true ! just in SL you dont have the right to access to the server and you get only what you have as options in the client side, the server side is not public or open source.
in opensim you are god... with full access to all... source included

For Virwox and the OMC, they use a modified version of NSL/DTL money server in a way that the module is in the users side and the money server work as shared service in the virwox servers... nothing to have with crypto-currencies

Early attempts to integrate Bitcoin have failed, and I think that was because of the VirWox monopoly.

hmmm! we can't talk about fails because this is the first and unique virtual world using bitcoin :
https://www.yrgrid.com/
but the NXT tool box will bring the perfect business solution for the metaverse! we have just to present the things in the correct way and in a familiar environement for the metaverse users... and this what i try to do with your help and investments...

Thank you all and welcome again to the new residents

aha! I was referring to things that happened in 2011/2012, I was obviously not aware of these later developments!
But this shows that this a very promising opportunity for cryptos!

This grid will be my first target when the work on our virtual world will be presentable! they have the requiered background on cryptos and the conversion to NXT will be more profitable for them and more easy for them users... our first ally in the market

i hope that more projects will join us soon, i know that most of the projects owners dont have a virtual world experience and may be they have not understood the goals and objectives of my initiative and how it can be profitable for them ... do not think too much and follow the white rabbit 

2end day of the Trading palace:

HD: http://i68.tinypic.com/qyb7yb.png

the down part is divided in 3 levels B+2, the base is for the analytics, charts and live data... the 1st level will be the assets desks, a place where the assets owners can promote them projects... the 2end level is for the MS coins desks.
the top part i dont know but still under edition i just placed this some cubes (called prims or primitives) to take measurements and see if like this will be harmonious with the rest or no...

Please if you are an NXT project, asset, MScoin owner or a marketplace seller join our project and reserve a land now! you will thank's me later 

Thank you all and @++

[Ludom]

I buy a space for NXTER.ORG. It's like a donation.

[OutSL]

I buy a space for NXTER.ORG. It's like a donation.

thank you for your support because without the active contribution of the major actors in the NXT ecosystem , this project will not make or have sense ... i'm not trying to create a clone or a money pump like second life but a business model that the other virtual worlds that form the metaverse will duplicate and take it as an example and go beyond by developing their own infrastructure based on the NXT network.

all the projects that join our own virtual world will be the > Example < of a functional concept and this can only be beneficial to the said projects first and the network in general.

Please choose a parcel number, I will reserve it for you
Ha! the sale and the distribution of the lands are in itselfs a functional example... my little Lands Seller will take care of the delivery of the lands to the new owners and it works in concert with the marketplace via the NRS's API...

Thank you again and welcome on board

Hey OutSL, would you link us to some tutorials or help us to manage this parcels, because I bought it without knowing anything about how things are build in this world...
Are we free to build an office in 3ds max or blender for example and then import it into my parcel? Some guidance to start taking a look into how all this stuff works would be really appreciate

If you write us a "How to manage your brand new virtual parcel for dummies" will be great

belive it or no its what i was thinking on it before reading you 
i will add a dedicated topic in the white rabbit with a places where you can practice and learn the basics, you dont need to learn blender or other complex softwares now! you have all the needed in the client (firestorm) and its easy to build with ( see the last picture above )....
if we was online now someones of you will be learning with me into the virtual world 

Thank you and @++
(i am working in the trading palace...)

[lopalcar]

Nice to know, hope isn't very hard to learn about, if not, I think we will need to start eating and working in the virtual worlds also
keep working and thanks!

Hello World 
among the utilities included in the viewer, there is the possiblility to post directly to facebook, twitter and upload the screenshots to Flickr from the virtual world ... i call them "The Homer Buttons" 
these tools will be very useful when we will start the promotion of the virtual world and the projects that are exposed into it...

i am working in the virtual world on the background... if you have questions feel free to ask

Hi again 
just some words about today's work and progress...
most of the working time today was focused on the opensim web interface... the web part where the new users will register and create them avatar.

between the available web interfaces there is only 2 that are good for our project and i selected for you and for it's usability the joomla web interface... i installed the last one and i installed on it this extension:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/living/education-a-culture/plotalot

that will serve me later to display the charts like nxtreporting but in 3D  , i am exploring the ways to make this working with the NRS...
i still have 2 templates from the rocket theme collection, i joined the club in 2012 i think... i still have the right to use 1 for a single domain and i will use it, please select one template from the following i will work on it as base:
http://demo.rockettheme.com/live/joomla/nebulae/
http://demo.rockettheme.com/live/joomla/dominion/

thoses templates have a lot of variations and presets... colors... you can see the options and styles by clicking the top menu items...

i also did a bit of shopping  i got some nice items like the columns and the chair in the image :

in wait for the residents template selection
Thank you all and @++
