I have to confess, I’m quite excited by the tremendous possibilities of the recent announcement by Linden Lab that XStreetSL now allows easy L$ transfer between the website and the avatar L$ account, without a fuss, and not requiring in-world ATMs at all. And it’s not just because a lot of more people will start to shop at XStreetSL from now on; no, it’s really because of the underlying technology, which might finally unleash the possibility of turning the Linden Dollar into a real L$ microcurrency for premium content outside Second Life.
