  1. I have two full private island 20Kprim sims for rent. One beginning March 5th and the other one March 18. for 56,999 lindens each per month. Each has no adjoining sims and of course as a rental there is no vat fees. Full estate rights, looking for long term tenants. contact me inworld through IM. thanks Blaze Nielsen
  2. so who files the 1099 in 2022 with the new $600 reporting level? tilia or paypal? or worst case scenario both of them.
  3. By the way tier can only be paid in US dollars either through your credit card or through converted lindens into dollars By Tilia
  4. Linden Lab converts my Linden earnings intoUS dollars to pay for tier. In my case it’s over US$10,000 a year. This is all business expense nothing for personal. Because this is paid in US dollars shouldn’t I be able to deduct this as a business expense? I believe Europeans must pay VAT taxes on payments to Linden Lab for tier. So it looks to me like Linden Lab considers tier payments taxable. Or deductions.
  5. Linden Lab will not comment on tax issues. The requirement I wrote above is minimum requirements for Linden Lab to issue a 1099.
  6. The former limits were $20,000 income and 200 transactions.‘s. So practically nobody would ever get a 1099 from Second Life. A transaction being defined as Tilia funds being deposited in your PayPal bank account. So my question is will the funds being converted by Tilia into US dollars to pay Linden Lab tier be considered income and expense as taxable
  7. When I convert Linden Dollars into tilia dollars to pay tier is that considered US taxable income for my sl business? Also i hear any income over $600 usd next year will be getting a1099 tax form. Comments?
  8. most Linden sea areas are too shallow for submarines. find myself bumping along the bottom unable to fully submerge.
  9. So, what you're saying Dakota is if you don't see any adult content referenced in the listing then the item can remain General. Please make sure your staff is clear about this.
  10. Oz, the problem here for me is that content I've been selling for years is now BROKEN in sl for the most part. I'll have a year of customers complaining about crappy products and redelivering fixed products to them. I can convert the non working formats into .mov files and reconfigure my products inworld. But having this change in sl causes a very big hardship for me and I suspect other video products sold in sl. ps. just learned the customer who complained videos not working was on an older mac os.
  11. that https://s3.amazonaws.com/skyboxvideo/Foggy+Stream.mp4 file will play on my mac version of firefox, will NOT work in chrome and downloads the file in safari. It will also not work in sl viewer or firefox even though it has worked consistently in sl for a couple of years. Not sure about customers platform, will check it. Also, I will offer the video url to some pc users to try out.
  12. Hi whirly, both of your mp4 andm4v files work just fine. the mystery is why arent the files Ive been using in sl for years NOT working now in both firestorm and sl viewer? I was alerted to this problem by a customer who owns a skybox that uses my video files and no longer works. This is an example of a file that has always worked in sl and no longer works. https://s3.amazonaws.com/skyboxvideo/Foggy+Stream.mp4. heres my system/firestorm info: Firestorm 5.0.11 (53634) Jan 12 2018 10:29:27 (Firestorm-Releasex64) with Havok support Release Notes CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz (3500 MHz) Memory: 16384 MB OS Version: Mac OS X 10.13.4 Darwin 17.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 17.5.0: Fri Apr 13 19:32:32 PDT 2018; root:xnu-4570.51.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Graphics Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M OpenGL Engine OpenGL Version: 2.1 NVIDIA-10.30.25 355.11.10.10.30.120 RestrainedLove API: (disabled) libcurl Version: libcurl/7.47.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1i zlib/1.2.8 J2C Decoder Version: KDU v7.9 Audio Driver Version: FMOD Ex 4.44.61 LLCEFLib/CEF Version: 1.5.3-(CEF-OSX-3.2171.2069-32) LibVLC Version: Undefined Voice Server Version: Not Connected Settings mode: Firestorm Viewer Skin: Firestorm (Grey) Window size: 2458x1356 px Font Used: Deja Vu (96 dpi) Font Size Adjustment: 0.5 pt UI Scaling: 1.475 Draw distance: 248 m Bandwidth: 1500 kbit/s LOD factor: 4 Render quality: Medium (3/7) Advanced Lighting Model: No Texture memory: 1024 MB (1) VFS (cache) creation time (UTC): unknown Built with Clang version 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42) May 13 2018 19:43:43 SLT
  13. just became aware that several video formats no longer work in sl. m4v and mp4 formats no longer work. In my testing, seems like only the .mov format is the only one currently working. I guess they weren't licensing the decoders properly. who knows . this breaks a lot of content I have had inworld for some time now.
  14. An issue everyone who uses Second Life should feel strongly about. Here’s a super quick and effective way to support net neutrality. 1. On a computer or tablet (but not your phone) go to: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express 2. For "Proceeding") type 17-108. 3. In comments, say: I support Title 2 oversight of ISPs and I support net neutrality. *Fill in the form carefully; they've made it less friendly and impossible to fill in by phone, on purpose. *Don't be silenced. DO IT NOW! *Copy & Paste and Pass it on. Thanks!
  15. Ive been running the new Mac OS High Sierra in SL and all seems to work just fine. except for one glitch. In logging in an old alt I was required to click acceptance for the TOS. This does NOT work in either the sl viewer or firestorm viewer. So you can't activate your avatar without pushing the accept TOS button ( which doesnt work). A workaround is to log into secondlife.com and click the TOS button there, which works.
  16. Finding the correct category using the drop down menu in my marketplace listing can be difficult. Where can I find a full list of marketplace categories?
  17. If you have to ask where to find inexpensive quality animations you are simply not doing due diligence. If you're serious about your product you should be scouring sl for quality full perm motion capture animations. You should be spending days testing the quality of the animations. If you're serious about beds for example, get ready to spend upwards of $1000 USD for a full array of couple animations. (I know, I've done it.)
  18. Depending on the type of rezzer you use, its possible to script a timed rezzer that gives potential customers a short rez time of your build. Obviously the best approach is to buy a small plot of land, put up a vendor so customers can rez one build at a time. Short of that, I think doing a short video of your build can do wonders for sales. Im working on skyboxes with video domes to provide the scenic view. Its very hard to visualize in a few marketplace pics. Heres a video example I did for the listing to showcase the skybox scenery. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72954412/Mountain%20Retreat%20Skybox.m4v
  19. Using a competitors name is not allowed in your search words because all business names in sl are copyrighted by virtue of their publication. the copyright owner can rightfully dmca your listing and have their name removed.
  20. Or, you can send the griefer a note of thanks for restarting your sim, a chore that most busy sims need at least once a week. He might just say "damn, I thought I was grieifng".
  21. Your screenshots show me your firefox and safari are both "bad" and your chrome is "probably ok" So you will probably be able to access your SL finances on Chrome, but not for certain. On that website my osx safari and ios phone both read as "improvable" whatever that means. But I assume my up to date version of Safari will not access financial SL information come June 15. operating system osx 10.11.4
  22. On the Linden Lab blog they suggest this: " Please check that your browser’s security support is up to date. You can do this simply by visiting https://www.howsmyssl.com/ and checking that it detects TLS 1.2 in the Version section:" on my mac I've done this with the latest versions of Safari, Firefox and Chrome and each fails the test. My safari on iphone also fails as well as Chrome which I just installed to test. I have asked the lab for further guidance on this issue, otherwise they are heading for a big disaster come June.
  23. Anybody on a mac or iphone know of a working tls 1.2 browser? Ive tried safari, firefox and chrome. We will be cut off from transactions on june 15. LL support has been no help at all.
  24. Any high end iMac will run sl just fine. If you're on a budget you might consider the smaller 21.5" screen you can get without the retina monitor. I would go for the 16gb memory. The 27" version lets you get into a better AMD Radeon R9 M395X with 4GB video memory which will let you run at maximum settings in sl. However, no matter what puter you use, you'll always have some of the waiting period for stuff to rez. SL has a very very slow bandwidth thru their servers and unless its all cached in your hard drive, you have to download it fresh. good luck and enjoy your mac
  25. wonderful project Agiala. be sure to set your green background on bright. also, feels like your avatar appears a bit yellow. you might work with that when you shoot it to sync colors a bit more. but overall a really fun result. congrats. Blaze
