Title: Second life route?
Post by: J180 on June 08, 2011, 03:22:48 AM
Has anyone converted cash to Second life and brought bitcoins there? Are people interested in selling them that way?

I'm wondering what people think about that method.

If it wasn't for Virwox, I would have missed out when it was at $10/BTC, because Dwolla took about 6 days to process everything  >:(

The downside of Virwox is that I probably paid out 9000 $L (1-2 BTC) in Virwox fees, but those were absorbed when the price of BTC went up to $24.90  ;D

I keep having this problem:

I did manage to get some through neteller, but even that won't work a second time. It's a little frustrating.

I cant run the linden miner on win xp.. 

I've got the gui miner running though. I'm not good with command line stuff.  got 5 mhash/s on a macbook pro.  Need to buy a real mining rig.

J180, re: RiskAPI fail.

I guess either: LL are blocking new accounts from transfers or as it happened to me before the RiskAPI itself failed lol You should file a support ticket with both Virwox and with LL and ask them what's up.

Btw. I don't know why you put your money inworld, if your intent is to get L$ only to get bitcoin, transfer to Virwox and then directly purchase L$ then and then purchase BTC. You don't need secondlife to use Virwox, except a valid avatar.

Yeah I was a bit confused. I did try the second method afterwards but even that has caps/difficulties. I guess I was making multiple accounts for things in one day.

Anyway I thankfully found a group called bitcoin in second life who traded, so I finally own my 0.75 bitcoin  :)
