Imagine we distributed Opensim docker containers and linked them together via Hypergrid. There would need to be replication of the worlds to prevent downtime in the event of a volunteer/worker node going offline.
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/Steem/SBD within the servers for in-game items or property sales/inventory.
