Central Grid, monde virtuel utilisant la plate-forme OpenSim, va introduire sa propre monnaie virtuelle. C'est en tous cas ce qu'annonce un message de BigTonny Goodfellow aux membres du groupe Central Grid au sein de Second Life. L'unité de cette nouvelle monnaie sera le Cyber Coin et son symbole sera C$. Le message indique que l'introduction du C$ pourrait avoir lieu cette semaine.
"Central Grid to Bring Inworld Currency
Central Grid has moved to become the first grid using the OpenSim platform to bring inworld currency to its users. They will be called Cyber Coins with C$ being its active symbol. OpenSim grids have all been fairly equal until now. There has been no true way to establish an economy. Currency has been active in a private test grid for some time now to ensure that it functions properly and is secure. There also has been extensive work to create an exchange sytem on the website for users to be able to purchase, trade to other avatars, and sell Cyber Coins. Central Grid will be selling C$ at the rate of C$200 to $1.00 USD. We will be working this week to add it to Central Grid...
