As with any legal document, it\u2019s important to read in its entirety before accepting, but we wanted to highlight one of the changes we\u2019ve made in this update: to better protect Second Life users against fraud, the updated Terms of Service make it clear that trading of Linden dollars (L$) on exchanges other than the LindeX, Second Life\u2019s official L$ exchange, is\u00a0not authorized or allowed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>As the official exchange owned and operated by Linden Lab, the LindeX is the best place to buy and sell L$ for use in Second Life. It consistently offers the best rates for both buyers and sellers, and by limiting L$ trading to the exchange we operate, we are better able to protect users against fraudulent activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>The majority of Second Life users who purchase L$ do so through the Second Life Viewer by clicking on the \u201cBuy L$\u201d button. There will be no change to that function, as these orders are placed directly through the LindeX. Similarly, shopping on Marketplace will not be impacted.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>If you haven\u2019t used the LindeX before, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/t5\/English-Knowledge-Base\/Buying-and-selling-Linden-dollars\/ta-p\/700107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this Knowledge Base article<\/a> and the video below for more information:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"545\" height=\"307\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NtY3qU3IueM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE 05\/17\/20013: To give Second Life users more options to purchase Linden dollars for use in Second Life, Linden Lab is piloting an Authorized Reseller Program.
