    Bitcoin Magazine - Ogrr Merges with MMOExchange, Quintuples Userbase

    Vitalik Buterin wrote an article for Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) on the recent merger between MMOExchange and Ogrr.  Excerpts:

    “Ogrr, with 3611 users currently, will be merging in 14643 users of MMOExchange, creating a new combined community over 18000 users strong.”
    -
    “MMOExchange users will also gain access to the key feature that makes Ogrr what it is: Bitcoin integration.”
    -
    “Ogrr originally launched last December when Jesse Powell, then using the trading forum d2jsp, was scammed for 20,000 units of d2jsp’s centrally managed internal currency, ‘forum gold’.”
    -
    “A Bitcoin wallet is integrated into the site, and the site also offers an escrow mechanism to protect buyers by ensuring that sellers cannot run away with the money before the buyer signals that the transaction has successfully been completed.”
    -
    “MMOExchange is largely oriented toward gamers playing the MMO RuneScape; Ogrr, on the other hand, sees its greatest volume with Diablo.”
    -
    “Virtual goods trading is arguably a perfect market for Bitcoin; with digital goods, traditional methods of payment offer no protection from chargebacks.”
