Recent TOS changes cripples not just 3rd party L$ exchange, but creators business.

Good News: Linden Lab has approached us with a potential solution that would allow us to serve our customers within the bounds of the updated Second Life Terms of Service. We are in discussions with them and look forward to being able to share more information very soon.

Please refrain from sending us support messages about this issue, at the moment we will not be able to give you more information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

perhaps this is a move by linden labs to get out of the virtual currency business.

they have 'terms of serviced' there way out of any liability/risk for losses and tax liability for virtual currency.

SL has already made it so they are not responsible for any resident to resident transactions.

I think that makes SL ripe for a 3rd party currency. Like bit-coin or any other viable virtual currency. For anyone already doing transactions outside marketplace. (ie renting land, selling or buying things directly, paying for or being paid for services etc) there would be no change in risk since sl doesn't get involved in resident to resident transactions.

so what do we do, start gearing up for a bitcoin underground currency in sl?
