Bitcoin Forum

If anyone is interested in trading BTC for L$ please PM me. I can provide real world US based contact info and my avatar dates to 2006. I am also affiliated to TradeLindens.com, a retail exchange operating since 2007.

Thank you.

You could have aswell posted some info about Linden Dollars. Never heard of those :)

My bad :). My background is in L$ so I tend to think everyone knows them. L$ are the currency of secondlife.com. It is a very stable currency and easy to exchange for many real world currencies on a myriad of exchanges. You can even exchange L$ for bitcoins on Virwox.com but their trading limits are bit low.

Best.

Virvox has big fee, otherwise it will be a good market..

The problem with virwox when you are trying to do something more than buy spending money is they charge a conversion fee, a withdrawl fee, and a spread. It gets expensive fast.

Yes, and volume for btc is not so big..

Do you sell bitcoins for Linden Dollars? If so, I'm interested in buying. I am a well-known person in Secondlife with high rep.

I'm confused - I bought my first BTC with Linden dollars via Virwox 1-2 years ago but at some point didn't they stop BTC trading?
Does it depend on where you live - I'm in UK? It's not available as an option for me on their site anymore.  :(

Do I mind if I ask...What is your current exchange rate? And do you escrow? Thanks.

Do people still play that game? 0.0

Yes, I would be interested in doing that. PM me and we can work something out.

Best :).

I'm not sure what happened there. I have been able to trade with them continually since they put Bitcoins up several years ago except for a short period when they shut it down.

Best :).

Please PM me for a current quote, prices are very volatile and whatever I post here will be pretty much out of date within an hour or so. I am happy to do escrow. Subject to verification procedures I am also willing to send first on small transactions until my reputation builds up a bit.

Best :).

I think 99% of the people who use linden dollar on this forum does not play the game and probably don't even know it, it is just a way to buy bitcoins by buying linden dollars with a credit card

Hahahaha. I get that one a lot when I tell people what I do for a living. Basically Linden Labs messed up when they removed gambling, number of players went down drastically from there. They also moved prostitutes to "Mature" areas, etc.

In the good old days you might sell 5-8kUSD in a single night to a single casino owner, now a days it mostly a medium size number of smaller transactions.

So yeah, people still play and the Linden Dollar relative to the USD is a VERY stable currency but the the market has shrunk considerably from its peak back in 07.

Best.

Why do you reply to yourself?  :D

LOL, I was replying to several messages and quoted the wrong person :P. My bad :).

You can also trade BTC vs L$ at The Rock Trading (http://therocktrading.com/referral/21).

I actually do 90% of my bitcoin trading there, they have some BTC (and L$) investment funds as well.

The Rock HQ is in Buttermere region in SecondLife.

I just looked through the website and I was excited because the L$/BTC exchange rate and fees were better than Virwox but the site is very poorly constructed. I deposited L$ which never showed up to my account, I tried to withdraw them and I was not allowed to. For a virtual "stock market" their listed liquidity is only about 12k USD and their BTC volume is very low. It feels very scammy to me since I know the history of the Bank run in SL they claim to have insured and, well, they took my money and they haven't given it back yet.

It's that or it's really a hobby website trying to pose as more than it is.

I appreciate the link though, I like to know what exchanges are out there :). I'll let you know if they give me my money back.

Bump :).

Not at all scammy, I've been dealing with them for a while now and hold the operators in the highest regard. They always make sure whatever happens (thefts, scams, SL rule changes) their clients don't lose out, often taking some pretty big losses themselves.


The trading volumes have rocketed lately so they are in the process of stepping up a few gears. But they are very professional and responsible, more so than a 'hobby' outfit.


If you have a problem just let me know, I promote that site whenever I can because I trust them enough to stake my own rep on their conduct. So if there's any issue I REALLY DO want to know about it!

Are you still selling BTC for SLL ?

Hi,
  No, not anymore. Not since LL killed the Risk API program.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Pablo.

Bump ;D

Can I ask what the L$ are for? Like why would people want to buy them?

They are used to trade and buy in-game merchandise in the game Second Life (www.secondlife.com). They are a viable currency in and of themselves and easy to trade for fiat.

Pablo.

I know about SL... I'm just not following why people care so much, lol. I guess people take that not as a game but as being like.. life... hence the name, o.o.
