Are there any plans to offer DP users a money system just amongst DP users with a bank where you can cash out and turn DP money into real money and vice versa?
Why would someone buy fake money? And if people just want to trade money with each other, why don't they just use real money?
It would matter of convenience for the users here to simply click "donate DP money" instead of logging in and out of paypal, asking for a paypal address, etc. I'm not sure how easy it is to program and manage, however. And, I could imagine why you might not want to take this on.
Haha, that wouldnt work here anyways. Everything is FREE. At namepros not everything is free that is why they got creative and started a bank. Now, Shawn did a good thing and did revenue sharing, he is even giving us some of the money from the forums
Actually Bubba Shawn, a virtual currency system for Digital Point wouldn't be such a bad thing. Installing a simple hack that you can find from vBulletin.org can not only promote the glorious activity of Digital Point but also make you a buck. Think about it, it may sound stupid to you for people to buy virtual currency from the bank (which is you), but if it'll make you even more money, why not do it? Isn't that what all netrepeneurs like us would want to do - make or offer something that bangs a buck / profit? I'm for the suggestion. I'd love to be able to get DP$ by posting and buying domains and sites with the currency from other users.
What I think would be fun is have DP dollars where say you get $1DP/post. The $DP could then be transferd amongst members so we can bet on sport, maybe actually buy links from other members, basically have fun. Each persons worth can be show by their user name and maybe a page created where the top 10 or 100 richest member are listed and maybe even get a backlink. Of course the $DP would have no worth outside the forum, purely fun. Just my $.02DP worth, but if it was my forum I wouldn't do it.
Nobody gets paid real money to post...to start new threads, yes, with the AdSense sharing revenue vBulletin hack, but not to post. Thus, members and administrators would benefit from installing the virtual currency hack. Members would earn DP$ from posting, and can thus buy or sell that virtual currency for other virtual goods or even sell them for cold hard cash $. And, the administrators could sell DP$ to members who just want to use them to buy virtual goods (domains, websites, etc) from other members.
Well I think real money is much more attractive. If I were to trade with fake money, I would always been in some doubts...
I don't think shawn has the time to implement this dp money. It will consume too much time to start something like these. Nice suggestion though. But I dont think shawn is comfortable with these setup.
You have tons of e-money systems around like paypal, google cashout, e-gold and you can use it with members here then turn it later to money, wht you ask for it to be a part of DP ? that's wierd ...but thanx for the idea anyway ...
imagination works.... but the only prob is the use of this sort of thing will be quite restricted ... i mean with in Dp only..which si not a confertable thing for those using it.
Hilarious...........hahahahaha Its a bad idea,people would be getting scammed every 5 minutes,vb hackers would take advantage aswell. it dosnt work on namepros so it wont work here.
