Differance between llTransferLindenDollars() and llGiveMoney()

[shymus Roffo]

i was bored and noticed on the forum hat there is a new function llTransferLindenDollars()  and i'm trying to figure out what the dffierance is between llTransferLindenDollars()  and llGiveMoney(). what are the differant benifits between them?

With llTransferLindenDollars you have an option to verify the transfer
With llGiveMoney you have not

Ok thank you very much

I've been trying to think when I might want to use it.    I mean, the most common reason for llGiveMoney failing is if the money isn't there, and the most common use for llGiveMoney is to pay a percentage of something that's just been paid to the object (a tip jar or a commission vendor) so that's not normally an issue.

I am sure there are times it will be really useful, but I can't think of one off-hand.

"I bought xxxxx from you.", "Oh no you didn't, the money didn't get through"

"I refunded you xxxxx and I can prove it", "Ahhh, I'll have to argue with LL instead"

Personally I think being able to confirm inventory transfers will be more useful but I have no problem with L$ transfers as the first functionality

I don't see how it would work in the first of those cases, though.   Yes, if I give a customer a refund or pay someone a commission on a sale, llTransferLindenDollars(destination, amount) will record the fate of the transaction, but how does it record anything about my customer's attempts to pay me?

Training for touch-typing focuses on hand-eye coordination and my brain is often not consulted.

It is possible, however, that the comment refers to 'catalogue' vendors - where the customer owns the catalogue and it passes the money to you.  If not, just make up your own rubbish to insert here, like I am.
