But only because I would be the 69th vote on it. :P

As a performer in SL….. I get tips… they come and come and come and come, small incriments…. how do I know which are the tips and which are for payments for services?
I especially like the idea that music audience members would be able to write notes along with their tips. that is what intrigues me the most.

AWESOME idea by the way with this whole note on payment thing. I know in RL I write on the dollar bill what I’m spending it on.

I agree that putting notes on transactions would help people with book keeping.

But srsly, it would be handy to get a bit of extra info
*goes to vote on the JIRA*

I said I think it’s a good idea in the script. The dialog thing I’m just not so sure would be used that often to justify the effort on Linden Lab’s part with adding a field to an already overblown database, Interface tweaks (though I guess they already are getting ready to unveil a total rehash of that.)

I’m just saying I don’t see it as a compelling project. But then again, I guess PJIRA is really our only real communication with LL.

it is not, not would I hope to infer that’s it’s a bad idea or even not a good idea. it is. I’m just saying there already are ways to get this information in world.

The examples I provided are simplified, I agree. But for staff, there already are great “managing devices” to clock in and out and pay people and they give full reports. And large numbers of small payments can esily be handled by any multi-product vendor that exists in world right now.

Either way, even if his situation is so large that it is impossible to use existing devices and tools in-world to satisfy his need, it then becomes the request of the extreme minority for a feature that will benefit all, but only be used by the extreme minority.

So I’m just saying with the limited engineering resources Linden lab has, is this a good use of those resources when measured against all the other engineering requests?

So to clarify my position on it: it’s a great idea, I agree. But how mnay will actually use and benefit from the feature divided by the effort to implement the feature=good invenstment overall?

Like many who blog (including yourself) I simply pose a question as food for thought. ;)

So I assume this is one of those ‘it were a great idea only if I would have thought of it’ somethings to you?

/me thinks your use of humor to promote valid and worthy issues would benefit many a statesmen iRL, too. Have you ever thought of expanding your citizenship and managing political campaigns? I think it pays reasonably well. ;=)
