Lots of news - 651.8 L$ by Ginko

In the morning, while I was having brunch with the family in real life, JohnLight was dancing in the Fabrik, on pads offering 5L$ / 15 minutes, limited to 1 hour / 20 L$. That time limitation is a pain, specially as robots are jumping on the pads as soon as they are free, so it was hard to find one, but then I was ok for one hour.

I had so 60 L$ there, and met with Greeneyes Snook. She helped me with the tattoo. I had to open the box before wearing it. So JohnLight is now wearing a polynesian tatoo.

Greeneyes also offered me help for anything else, so I've got a guardian angel now... thanks a lot Greeneyes ;-)

Then a Second Life camping dilemma shown up. I went to the Dance Dance pads, and they were almose free. I became instantly number 2. Pad 2 did not payed anything, but pad 1 is 7 L$ per 10 minutes, with a maximum of 200 L$... and the avatar on pad 1 had only 7 L$ by that time. So the choice was to stand here until av on pad 1 obtained the 200 L$ after four and a half hour to access pad 1 and have my own 200 L$ after an additionnal foud and a half hour, or go to a standard 1 L$ for 10 minutes pad. For the same time, the standard pay would pay 57 L$ only, but granted.

To solve the issue, I had a chat with the dancer on pad 1, Cyberelf Hifeng. She told me she would leave after about 2 hours, so after a general chat, I decided to leave JohnLight on pad 1, and went out in real life for a familly excursion.

Coming back hours later, I found JohnLight on pad 1 with 56 L$ made, and left him here until reaching 203 L$. What a good day ! While JohnLight was completing the 203 L$ on dance dance, I hat a chat again and learned that some people use alts, other SL accounts to have slave avatars camping for them. Why did I not think of that on my own ?

More management to do, but higher payrate... will see... may a JaneLight will join JohnLight soon. Finally I went back to Fabrik to earn some more while having lunch, but it was closed, so I left John on a standard 1 L$ / 10 minutes pad.

Some additional camping make me reach 651.8 L$ by Ginko. The computer will be turned off for the night... No overnight, but cooldown. May be a full day tomorrow, but I dislike to leave it on the whol day when I'm not at home.

Conclusions for today:
1) JohnLight has a tattoo
2) Two new friends offered help
3) 263 L$ earned camping... may be the 30 L$ / day basic hypothesis is too pessimistic... will see
4) Dance Dance are good if you find them empty, as after a long while the SL client becomes slow and unstable

Do the maths while sunbathing at 5 L$ for 20 minutes

I just found a new camping site, paying 5L$ for 20 minutes to lie on a towel by the beach... quite a nice place to be, isn't it ?

So while JohnLight is getting suntanned in Second Life, I made some calculations, to see how much time is needed to reach the million Linden dollar.

As a base, I assume a 30 L$ income per day, which is quite easy to achieve beside other activities (you know, like a job !).

The very first and obvious way is to do noting else than just stacking my L$. 30 L$ a day would mean 3334 days to obtain my 1'000'000 L$, and to rephrase it, roughly 91 years and 4 months. Wow. I don't know is Second Life will still exist then, but I will proabaly be six feet under.

The second way is to include Ginko in the calcuation, assuming the current 0.09% daily interest rate. Thanks to interests on interests, the million would be there after "only" 3818 days... which is ten and a half years.

This obviously assuming that I leave all my money by Ginko, and that Ginko has no rate change and does not go bankrupt. Quite risky, particularly if they fail after 3817 days, according to Murphy's Law.

May be it'll be a good strategy to also convert some of my L$ to US$ as far as I earn them...

Let me think while JohnLight is sunbathing... lucky avatar
