Interesting:
A Kickstarter for a world to be built in Entropia Universe:
Planet Postmoderna will be built within the existing structure of MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online game) Entropia Universe
Alan and his team are looking to raise $200,000 for their initial phase and have a projected launch date of 12-18 months after successful funding.

Very interesting.
While there have been several trades (and requests to trade) between BTC and PED (which trade $10 PED per $1 USD in-site), there are no plans, apparently, for that conversion to be handled by the site itself.
