Adjustments to Estimates

 I had a chance to upload some of the latest Linden data. Some interesting info:

* 145,000 people bought something in December (not sure if this includes SL Exchange or other transactions in real currency as these may be $0 Linden transactions which are not reported).

* There were a total of 14.5 million transactions which suggests that the average person who bought anything transacted at least 100 times. This seems a little high! Probably there is a lot of transactions for low amounts that are in some other activity or noise. There were 9.5 million transactions under $50 Lindens.

* More interesting is that there were about 1.0 million transactions between 500 and 5,000 Lindens. So making a guess that average isin the middle at 1,000 per transaction this would turn over more than $USD 3.7mm per month.

* Now assuming that about 20% of all the sims are active in some type of commerce that would suggest that the average Sim could generate more than $USD4,900 of  transactions in the $Linden 500 to 5,000 range.
