[...] Payment options include PayPal and PayPal Micropayments, which are the default on many public grids including ReactionGrid and OSGrid. A growing new platform from Virwox offers Second Life-style payment functionality, and even shows the account balance in the top right corner of the viewer screen. It is currently supported by four public grids in Europe. Virwox promises that its currently is freely convertible with US dollars, Euros, and even Linden dollars. Another payment platform is the G$ payment system from CyberCoinBank, but the backers of this currency will not redeem it back. Read more about in-grid payments here. [...]

Two more grids (OpenNeuland, WilderWesten) have adopted OMC as their currency. This brings the current number of regions running the OpenSim module to 340.

Hello,

I am Gibs from Virtual RP. We are creating a new grid based on Opensim. Our grid are not open because we wait to finish website, marketplace and money module.

We decided to install Virvox module to test money. It seems correct to use. I just saw a bug that need to be fix. When you TP, sometimes virvox module loose money information on the viewer. And when you engaged a new TP, money is ok on your viewer. The module is young and promise great things for opengrid.

Virtual RP is created by Froggy french team and help by some SL brands to build sims and items.

We hope open our grid on April.

Snoopy –

Fantastic! Where can we go to see this in action? Also, does this use PayPal or PayPal Micropayments — or is this up to individual merchants? And does it do anything with the balance at the top right of the browser screen? (Not that PayPal requires a balance — you can pay by credit card without even having a PayPal account..)

Thanks!

- Maria

The Mod-PayPal module implements PayPal support for OpenSim. It was developed by Adam Frisby and me. During the last months it was successfully tested on some of the regions that my company Dreamland Metaverse hosts for it's customers (http://www.3dmetaverse.com/).

It implements user-to-user payments, user-to-object payments, as well as object and land purchases, using the standard viewer functionality and money LSL functions and event. The only LSL function not supported is llGiveMoney. All financtial transactions are in US$ cents (OS$ 100 = US$ 1.00) and go through PayPal and are authorized on the secure PayPal web site.

This optional money module can be used for standalone regions and regions running as part of a grid like OSGrid. It is fully implemented within the region server and does not need any additional functionailty at grid level. The Mod-PayPal module needs to be added to the OpenSim source code as optional module before compiling OpenSim.

A guest comment:

Great piece, Maria! Very Informative too (Europe is ahead on this one). Open universal virtual currencies allow for two-way exchange, P2P transactions, and convertibility to real-world currencies. They also have the possibility to change the dynamics of game adoption by users because the currency unit will drive the user gaming/world decision. I believe that the next step in the evolution of virtual and nonpolitical digital currencies is the ability to have anonymous, negotiable digital bearer certificates backed by precious metals. That way, they won't simply exist on a ledger but they can be privately accumulated and negotiated, rarely being exchanged for governmental currency units.
