For my part, I'm also quite skeptical of Bitcoin (and most online
monetary systems for that matter) but I'm interested in hearing what
others think. It's a good point that some of our experiences with
Linden Lab and other "banks" involved with Second Life have taught us
valuable lessons. Anyone remember GOM and Ginko?
Having said that, I find Bitcoin's distributed and decentralized
philosophy both interesting and worrisome. Lack of centralization
sounds like a good thing, but lack of accountability not so much.

directed to other pursuits in the first place. OpenSim would be well
advised to steer clear of this one. One good lawyer would own this
place. And, all of those originally in favor of it would scatter like
chickens. Ric
