  1. Premium doesn't generate a whole lot, if you calculate the stipend, linden lab would make about just under $5 if you sell everything back. There is indeed more cash for them in estate and virtual goods tax and L$ sales levy
  2. The restrictions are in place. If you have transaction over $1000 USD they initiate a ticket to get full set ID from you since linden is USD backed fiat money in a sense. It is not optional neither, they gave me "ID in 30 days or permanent ban" option
  3. It is their private property they should be able to choose who they allow. If you force integration you won't make neither side happy, and you will eventually go full circle and become who you claim to fight, just like how D*** March Chicago expelled Jews from their march, and called them 'Zio' on tweeter (which was ironically, a word pioneered by David Duke) Public space is for everyone, private property isn't.
  4. I am on my mobile ATM so I can't recall the exact procedure. I opened up the nvidia settings, chose program specific and went to firestorm after someone reported a significantly higher frame rate than mine using the same GPU. Then I simply changed it from integrated graphics to force GPU use
  5. Try checking your graphic card setting as well. I have found out my computer somehow had firestorm using integrated graphics instead of the GPU. My frame rate pretty much doubled on max setting after I forced firestorm to use the GPU
  6. Also look into small scale ownership first. My SL city started as a mere 512 sqm which extended to half sim size over the course of a few months. Sub your alts to premium and make them donate tiers to group , it will average to just 45 cents per 512 sqm per month. When you want to do something always research into how people with worse starting condition got where they are, usually it involves more than just being lucky. I was pretty gobsmacked when I first found out the premium loop trick.
  7. I am the same age I own two houses IRL started with $2 /hr peeling potatoes when I was 16. I hold no education above year 12. I think you are better off joining forces with someone else. And try to get tax deduction on it if you do, use a trust structure with your family and reduce their tax and get them to pay you a cut on the amount saved US tax laws have always been the most user friendly in the world, the times people maximize their tax benefits is quite underwhelming. What is deductible in the US often is not deductible in Australia. If the same laws apply I would probably have retired.
  8. Look for existing renters who are unhappy with their rates and steal them
  9. The key is to use mainland Get tons of alts, sub them to premium, and let them donate to your group. The cost per 512sqm per month considering repatriated linden sales of stipend will be about 45 cent per month, and by donating their tier to group you get 10% bonus, which gives 563 sqm per alt. Hence renting land out becomes highly profitable even at 1 linden / 2 prim since you only need to have an income of 44L per week per alt to break even(175LI/2/4). At a wholesale worst rate you can collect 90L per week with minimum monthly income of 220L. However, downside is that you either need to consolidate the alt stipends, either via script or manually. Skybox is the most profitable way, but also the least creative. Also, automate them with casperlet. Best 2000L I have ever spent in SL. If you want to know why I am not owning the whole continent if that's the case, there are more profitable endeavours IRL. Making profit in SL is just that nice side dish to have for me , it is like playing the Sims with tangible cash. Depending on your tax jurisdiction, this can be a tax saving maneuver but I won't go into details.
  10. Thanks, just lodged an application to have a private island nearby as well!
  11. I buy from Australia no issues at all, cashed out over 1k in USD as well no issues. They do ask for your ID at certain stage but I am fine with it. Tbh it sounds like you have a browser issue which does not show EU selection.
  12. Keep the thinking noises down !
  13. Why not turn off object entry/rez for non groups?
  14. That's still fine... I decided to request for a nearby abandoned land which is 4000 sqm in size to be auctioned off. Someone brought it, put up a gigantic ugly 2D jungle wall and never bothered to show up again. Lucky the build perms are on so I just squat a bigger wall to hide that other 2D jungle wall. There are still a lot of structural abominations on mainland.
  15. Hi all, everytime I change the description of an item on the marketplace it seems to dunk the ranking a bit. I was going to add in multiple languages for my products now I am not so sure. Is that just coincidence or is that how it works now?
  16.

  17. Still selling like crazy, if anyone tells you that everything that can be made have been made, they are lying. If it's there and you can make a better one, make a better one and siphon on the $$$. One thing I have noticed thou, correcting your product description seems to send the product backwards in ranking somehow, now I don't really update items anymore once they are on the market and attracting autonomous sales. The product icon is very important since people hardly read the product page, they just look at the product icon to decide if they want to buy. That's why you have people buy products that are apparently broken despite six 1 star reviews on a product released by someone that never logged on again. A lot of bad reviews also means. 1. There's high demand for that particular item 2. That demand is not being met properly 3. You can possibly make a better one = Profit Most people do not look past the few pages of a search, so getting to the first few page is the start of the game, if the product is solid it will continue to attract sales which keeps the ranking without a lot of input from you. Getting someone to click into your product page is a precursor to purchase, no matter how wonderful the product is you most likely will not get sales if you have a terrible product picture.
  18. Makes little to no difference IMO, it's the icon and the content that sells your product and another few metrics I will not talk about since I gain edge from it. I came in pretty late in SL to start selling, and it picked up really quickly now it covers the cost of a whole sim with extras to spare. I have sold an item for 20 copies before someone dropped a message to say the item inside is wrong, it was by pure accident but it shows you how much the icon and product page sells it for you.
  19. There's a newly received item section at the bottom of your inventory, you need to drag it across. While SL does beat IMVU in every possible way from size to graphics and ToS; IMVU does win on inventory management. It had me stoked when I moved over too, also when you are trying to wear something, right click "Add" and not "wear"
