Yo,

Cool use of virtual grids! What do you think about distributing an opensim server VM to volunteers to build a P2P opensim grid? (Mandatory minimum PC specs would be required & continuous uptime would need prioritized, perhaps with fallback nodes to minimize land downtime) This idea was a brainstormed BOINC project:

>Opensim/Hypergrid servers

>http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Hypergrid

>Imagine we distributed Opensim docker containers and linked them together via Hypergrid. Users would need to prioritise up-time and perhaps there would need to be a minimum computer spec for this to be feasible.
>
>Customers could rent land within the opensim servers & these fees could be distributed to those running the opensim servers.
>
>Additionally, there is currently no in-game cryptocurrency, only centralised payment options. You could integrate cryptocurrency to increase usage of Gridcoin within the servers for in-game items or property.

Replace Gridcoin above w/ Steem; opensim/hypergrid do not have a backing blockchain yet - steem could be used and someone could implement a payment processor to replace the current centralized mechanisms in place.

Edit: Perhaps metaverse is attempting to become the next opensim crypto, but I honestly have no idea what their crypto is supposed to do.. http://ico-en.viewfin.com/index-en.html
