Yesterday's Money: 18th June

Yesterday in Second Life we:

Spent US$1,698,000 at an exchange rate of L$270.6 to US$1
Exchanged US$200,000 at an average of US$8,300.0 per hour.
Market buys were US$119,000
Market sales were US$79,000
Limit-limit buys were US$1,400
The busiest time was at 9am when about US$14,000 was exchanged.
The quietest time was 10pm when about US$8,000 was exchanged.

I'd still treat these numbers with suspicion - there is a little variation, but the graph is suspiciously flat with a small number of outliers from the mean. I suppose it's possible that's how trading was today, but it seems unlikely.

1. if the numbers and charts are suspiciously flat, one is forced to ponder if LL is making the numbers up to make things look a lot better than they are...

2. Possible Neural. However, prior to the LindeX issues it was giving nicely spiky graphs. I'm inclined to believe they broke the reporting at the same time as they broke LindeX - and/or they broke the concurrency information since Tateru's been having issues with that for the same amount of time as I have with LindeX.

If LindeX gets reported fixed and it continues like this, then I'll worry.
