She is converting currencies of virtual worlds she is present in into US$ and euro and that is all. It will take a serious financial institution but the one that is willing to deal with small amounts we use. Obviously, she is not doing it.

The money problem can be solved very easily by an existing, working, open source software and payment solution called Ripple, or any other form of social network credit (Hawala).

Hmmm... I could put my SL folder to stick with firefox and abiword. Is there live version of SL client for win too?

There are already projects where you can put your PC desktop on a stick and what better metaphor than carrying your inventory (basically yourself) with you?

I am not sure to which extent this could work... Sure, it will not be enough to deal with the money, but inventories maybe can be handled that way. But, I guess that lot of things would be handled by having a reliable company or organization behind the specific grid. One of my hopes is in the openness of the code. hmmm….

Only those who know those can join. Rinse, repeat. In the end you get a social network which would be cryptographically "signed". Any antisocial behaviour can be traced to the nearest "good" spot, and then the "bad branch" be dealt with....

You can use open source software, but it's not worth much if it runs on a crappy PC or crappy hosting space. So the same for OpenGrid. Free Db hosting that is crappy and with publicity (privat initiatives too) and then who choose to host their own inventory and have good services depending on their choice and the money they want to spend? Local: that means moving it to other pc's a lot. And not being able to 'full functioning' login from - for instance - a friend's pc?
