[e-gold-list] 17 million active PayPal accounts?! was Re: Gold economy is stagnant

2002-09-20 Thread Ian Green

Um, a couple of years ago I opened two PayPal accounts, but I have never 
bought anything with either of them, although I did once transfer e-gold to 
what was supposed to be the no-fees account* and later transferred that to 
my bank account.

* Unfortunately PayPal, having offered people to set up one personal and 
one premium account (which I did), but they then charged the premium fees 
on (receiving dollars in) my account, and I know for sure that I used a 
different e-mail address for the premium account!

So, I have never use them again. It rubbed me up the wrong way!

Hag Sameach -- say what?! You hear a new one nearly every day! Just last 
year I got an e-greeting card for an Islamic holiday, for the first and 
only time. This year, the Jewish New Year, for the first and only time. 
Yes, I know I could use www.google.com to look it up, but it does startle 
one when receiving completely unexpected, 'alien' culture greeting. (Well, 
it's alien outside a few suburbs of Melbourne, Sydney, New York or Israel 
and such places, anyway.) I don't really think you are an alien! ;) That 
Mork from Ork guy from a couple of decades ago - well he was a cool alien, 
wasn't he? :)

[e-gold-list] why paypal wins and e-gold not.....

2002-09-20 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear fellow list member

With curled up toes I've been following the paypal thread on this list and
I could not resist posting a small comment on this e-gold paypal
discussion 

IMO the big reason paypal is winning the battle is that it allows me to
send money to ANYONE with an email address regardless of wheiter they have
a Paypal account or not.

If the user receiving money does not have a paypal account he clicks a link
and from that moment on... The user has a paypal (funded!!!) account.

It's called viral marketing and E-gold does not work like this... If e-gold
would work like this they would have been a lot bigger (And the person
sending gold would have another progeny account)

I find it facinating that nobody on this list seems to get this... It's
basic internet marketing, learned this trick back in 1995..

I hope e-gold will add this to their system as I do not think they will get
mainstream acceptence otherwise...

Bon weekend et à bientot!

Of course, a market maker might be a retailer, in which case he or she pays 
no margin for e-gold. I have never purchased e-gold in my life, but I have 
done some small quantity of trade in e-gold. (Note: I don't have any 
available right now.) If a (profitable) business does a significant amount 
of sales for e-gold then it is surely a small matter to become a market maker.

Note that I am distinguishing the term market maker from mere exchange 
provider. Many people may operate as an exchange provider from time to 
time, but it is only the larger operators who are able to offer exchange on 
demand at all times.

Remember on thing when comparing paypal to e-gold: you can fund your PayPal
account instantly using your credit card start sending money. This is not
the case with e-gold, where you have to go through a third party to fund you
account, waist a lot of time, and on top of this pay prohibitive fees to
fund using a credit card.
E-gold is great once you have money in the system, but the funding process
is just too complicated and expensive in most cases. Viral marketing may not
work as you would imagine in such a context.
And lets not forget getting money out of the system is not easy either,
there is no such thing as instant access to your funds like the paypal debit
card provides.

there are no market makers.   MAYBE omnipay.

As I've always pointed out, it is unfortunate that e-gold chose that 
nickname for exchange providers.  it is catchy and everyone finds 
themselves referring to MMs.  But it's a meaningless use of the term

a market maker is a specific bit of lingo from trading floors, 
anyone who knows what it means would and does laugh at the usual ERE 
usage of it, unfortunately

 Remember on thing when comparing paypal to e-gold: you can fund your PayPal
 account instantly using your credit card start sending money. This is not
 the case with e-gold, where you have to go through a third party to fund you
 account, waist a lot of time, and on top of this pay prohibitive fees to
 fund using a credit card.

First of all, I agree with you on the matter that paypal is faster to add funds to 
your account, but that is only the case when the user has an existing account. I know 
that when you open a new account with paypal it takes a bit of time (days maybe) to 
activate your account. On the other hand, some exchange providers are able to fund an 
account in a matter of minutes, so a new account with e-gold can be funded and 
operated in a very short period of time.

Secondly, I would not like to see e-gold adopt the credit card method to fund 
accounts. I am not a market maker, but I know that a lot of them do good business when 
funding e-gold accounts. I think what e-gold should do is offer special credit 
facilities to the good exchange providers, so that they would be able to fund e-gold 
accounts in a matter of minutes. This would certainly attract more business for e-gold 
(in my humble opinion).

Finally, I don't look at paypal as being any better than e-gold or any DGC. Why? 
Because paypal is not truly global. Some countries are not on the paypal list, which 
means that they obviously can't use paypal to its full potential. This I know for a 
fact because my country (St Vincent) is not on the paypal list.

Please explain how to do this in a very short period of time; I spent 
awhile staring at the
web pages of exchange providers and they all seem to want some variation of 
a wire transfer or
a cash deposit, both of those requiring an in-person trip to a bank during 
banking hours,
or the payment of significant fees someone like Western Union, again, 
during business hours
and away from my comfy chair.

If there's another way - where a person can learn about e-gold, open an 
account, and have it funded
and then buy something without leaving their seat at the computer, I'd sure 
love to hear about it.

I don't mean to say that the exchange providers are bad people, when they 
want known good funds
coming in to exchange for their known good funds going out - I wouldn't 
want to be on the other
end of a chargeback, having paid out irrevocably in the meantime - but I'm 
trying to figure out
whether you see a solution here that others have missed, or if you're 
saying that from your
perspective the logistical hurdles involved in funding an e-gold account 
shouldn't be such a big
obstacle. (Which is a nice argument to make, but arguing that a problem 
isn't very important
isn't the same thing as solving it.)

I don't think that extending credit to the exchange providers really solves 
this problem - I don't
care if I can borrow money (or gold) cheaply and easily, if I'm still 
obligated to pay it back even
if my customer magically yanks his payment out of my till 60 days down the 
road. And, if I
(wearing a hypothetical exchange provider hat) don't have to pay it back, 
then who does?
Since this is all backed one-for-one by gold bars, someone's gotta pay for 
that free lunch.

Right, there will never be an easy way to 'change between'  USD and egold.

They are different currencies.   there will never be an easy wayto 
change between USD and Euros or between USD and Canadian dollars.

there will never be a solution to this problem, the fact the egold

2002-09-20 Thread John A. Buck

Please explain how to do this in a very short period of time;

Explanation may be somewhat dated, but when I opened my egold
account - I used goldfingercoin and was funded in less than a day.

all seem to want some variation
of
a wire transfer or
a cash deposit, both of those requiring an in-person trip to a bank during
banking hours,

Was not true a while back - I used a credit card. Verified by phone in about an hour.
Never left the comfort of my chair. :)

Granted - this was quite some time ago - when E-Gold was first starting up, but
the process is not painful and the added fraud security many exchangers have
implemented is a welcome sight - to keep them in business and allow us to
be able to make the necessary deposits and other transfers.

I would venture to say that a person could open and fund an E-Gold account
in less than 48 hours without any difficulty or heartache.
On the other hand - PayPal takes days to verify your bank account with their
deposit verification scheme they use - took 5 days for the pennies to show
up and then I had to go back and verify the amounts.

Now that all the initial set ups are over all is well and both have proved to be
useful in certain situations - many folks do not use E-Gold for auctions but
accept PayPal - many do not accept PayPal but use E-Gold exclusively.
I hapen to accept both for my web hosting business :)
Both systems have merits.
One of which I use extensively is the PayPal debit card - works like a dream
and pays cash back just like Discover but with no annual fees :)

Just a users 2 cents worth.
John

That's primarily because of the lack of a firm, reliable, non-repudiable, 
instantaneous payment system in national currencies, right?  The problem is 
not that they're national currencies, but that the payment system is 
inadequate, am I right?

Bryan mentioned Australia's BPay.  If BPay is as solid as Bryan suggests, 
it sounds like a market maker might be able to set up an automated exchange 
between Australian currency and e-gold, similar to Metal-Escrow.com and 
Cambist.net.

Of course, BPay may not have the automation features you need for this, but 
it sounds like Bryan is suggesting that BPay is low risk for market 
makers.  In other words, you could receive a BPayment and feel completely 
confident in spending gold in return, knowing that the payment was real and 
non-repudiable.

Is that true, Bryan?

I never said anything about non-repudiation, I was merely addressing the
fast and convenient funding issue.

Not being a merchant, I don't know the ins and outs of the repudiation
issue. JP suggests that being a bank tx that it is reversible. I'll take
his word for it - again, I'm just talking about speed. If nothing else,
look at BPay in comparison to checks. If there is a clearance period for
BPay, the fact you don't need to leave a house and send a piece of paper
saves time.

[e-gold-list] Why would anyone need Pay Pal?

2002-09-20 Thread Fred Michaelis

Just one quick observation.  In the USA, strangely enough, most people buy
things using the US dollar.  Why?  Because a lot of sellers will accept
it.  So, it would follow, if  sellers sold more things for the value of
E-gold, it would not be a problem to have all or most of your money in
E-gold.  If  you have E-gold, it is no problem spending it at the grocery
store, as long as you have used it to load an offshore debit card.

The cheapest and fasted way that I have heard about to fund an E-gold
account is with Money Gram.  That is the way that I am encouraging people
to use when they go to http://zauctionoffshore.com  In fact, we have a
link to Money Gram on our web-site along with some prefered Market Makers
that take Money Gram.

 The reason for me suggesting Money Gram is that for about $5.95 you can
send any amount of money up to $10,000.00 to anyone in the USA.  It is
slightly higher out-side the USA.  Here is my reasoning.  If I send
$100.00 it has cost me almost 6%.  Not too bad?  If I sent $1,000.00  the
cost is less than 1%  at about .01%  One might consider that this is a
small fee charged for converting US dollars backed by nothing, into
E-gold, backed by something.  Now that is pretty good.  You have paid a
small fee to convert nothing to something. :-)  You do have to leave your
easy chair to go to the nearest Money Gram outlet so, you will want to
convert as much as you can each trip.  That way, you will only leave your
easy chair for a small amount of health giving exercise, once a week.  You
might equate this with making a bank deposit.  Just cut out the bank
deposit trip and go to Money Gram instead.

Now, if you had a offshore debit card, to make local purchases, and an
E-gold account to buy stuff that will be sent to you in the mail, why
would you need or want Pay Pal?  What I would want is a way to buy more
bargin stuff sent by mail.  I wonder what that would be?  Fred Michaelis

I spend e-Gold at my grocery store - Krogers and Stop  Shop, and at BP Gas 
(petro for our Aussie friends) and this week even at a local hardware 
store.  They have a pin-based POS machine, and I use the debit card with 
Cash Cards and pay from my account.  The only complaint I ever heard from 
them was how heavy the gold bars were and how they jammed up the ATMs g

Getting money out of the system is easy with a debit card.  Getting money 
in the system is still the challenge, and so far nobody has any good 
answers.  The Australian banking system and TechnoCash in  Sydney are both 
viable alternatives, at least if you live down under.  The banking system 
in the US  is very fragmented due to antiquated banking laws, which makes 
it almost impossible to arrange something to have national coverage.

Me thinks we need something similar to check cashing services.

[e-gold-list] GoldNow issuing debit cards again, soon! Yeeha!

2002-09-20 Thread Graham Kelly

Guys  Gals,

Today, we finalised and agreed on a deal with a bank for no name debit
cards. (Thank goodness!) 

Upon request, we will be issuing debit cards to our previous debit card
customers for $15 each, including delivery. New card customer pricing
should be around $50 per card. We are very comfortable with our new debit
card supplier, and we are very determined that this time we will have
a long, LONG term relationship! 

A major plus over the Baltic cards is that all customers will immediately
have online access! Also, the actual ATM debit charge is a LOT cheaper
than the Baltic card.

Normal funding is by way of ecurrencies, or cash. Our site will be updated,
as soon as we take delivery of the supply of cards.

Cheers! (That means I'm a happy camper again!)

(Here's why:

It will not, cannot and never will be easy.  Let's say historically 
over the 20 years 2000-2020 France moves from Euros to e-gold.  That 
will NOT be easy, nothing about it will be easy.

(Changing from Francs to Euros was very simple, because .. both are a 
joke.  But changing from Euros to actual GOLD (for god's sake) will 
be fraught with difficulties at every step.)

It will be a challenging, gruelling, grinding process.

One day it will.

Profit is a great incentive, almost as high on the scale as survival. 
 20 years ago one could not imagine transferring money from your chair

commonplace (at least here in Australia and NZ,  not sure about the US -

Eventually someone will have enough incentive to find a way to make it 
convienient and easy,  just as ways have been found to send mass 
communications around the globe in seconds.

Incentive found a way for us to fly,  to drive fancy cars, to improve 
production in many many ways.

This will be no different.

Progress will march inexonerably on   doomsayers notwithstanding.

JP,

: bpay and internet banking are all reversible though, just like any

This is incorrect for internet banking...

hey man!  maybe it's different in NZ.  i've seen it, also i asked the 
manager of my local rural branch (actually we ended up having a huge 
chat about egold, wire transfers and all sorts of stuff!) and he 
stated they were reversible, as were bpay etc.

{this makes sense to me since they're just bank payments, no 
different from wires or checks, which can relatively easily be 
reversed - I see no conceptual reason why internet banking would be 
different}

But he may have been wrong -- can you get it in writing that they 
can't be reversed?!

It's worth noting that generally in Australia it's much, much less 
likely, far harder, to get out of a transaction (wire, check etc) 
than in the rest of the world (which is a good thing of course -- or 
actually it might be a bad thing as it hits harder when it happens!

by the way I used-up the idiot email quota thing, feel free to tell

 Please explain how to do this in a very short period of time; I spent

some variation of  a wire transfer or a cash deposit, both of those requiring an 
in-person trip to a bank during banking hours, or the payment of significant fees 
someone like Western Union, again, during business hours
 and away from my comfy chair.

You seem to forget that there are other digital currencies on the market that would do

e-gold. We all know the horrors of traditional banking, so I think we can leave that 
part out. The fact is that there are ways to fund e-gold in a very short period of

 If there's another way - where a person can learn about e-gold, open an 
 account, and have it funded
 and then buy something without leaving their seat at the computer, I'd sure 
 love to hear about it.

Use an Exchange Provider to buy the e-gold with netpay or evocash.

Let me pose a specific scenario.

Imagine how cool it would be if I could tell an employer to direct-deposit 
my paycheck into a certain bank, and unbeknownst to my employer the funds 
would actually go to a market maker acting as a bank who would then dump 
gold into my account.

I mean, we're kind of getting there with Gaithman's and other MM's ability 
to direct deposit funds into their accounts and receive gold in 
return.  All we need is a direct deposit route.

Sure, the funding of your gold account would not be easy for the market 
maker.  He would definitely have to confirm receipt of funds, wait the 
proper number of days, acquire new bars, and all the hard stuff implied by 
the May Scale.  It's just that HE'D have to do it, not YOU.  :-)   :-)

I would venture to say that a person could open and fund an E-Gold account
in less than 48 hours without any difficulty or heartache.
On the other hand - PayPal takes days to verify your bank account with their
deposit verification scheme they use - took 5 days for the pennies to show
up and then I had to go back and verify the amounts.



A customer can buy money orders and send it to us overnight mail and get
funding of their gold account. That is less than 48 hours.

Q. If funds sent to you via online banking (including BPay for Australia) are later 
found to have come courtesy of some kind of criminal activity, does the bank take the 
money back from you, or do they eat the cost themselves? (Naturally I don't care 
about to poor schmuck who was robbed, I care about the merchant)

I had 3 lots of funds sent to me on an online transaction for three 
orders all of which were fraudulent.  The first one went through and the 
crim was paid (goddamit).  I receive the following two payments and 
orders a few days later.  As there suddenly became an apparent 
similarity between the orders despite the different names egold accounts 
etc., it looked suspicious so I held onto to them. Sure enough the bank 
came to be cap in hand ... 'cough cough,.  ahem those funds are 
fraudulent  along with that other one,.  can you return them pleaasee'.

Well they were happy that I could return the last two but the first one 
.sorry gone. As each one was for 2k AUD they were happy to get the 
4K AUD back.

However,  if it was 100K AUD  it might have been a different story.  I 
have seen two  banks on a fraudulent cheques for over 50,000AUD act 
without compunction and grab the funds from wherever they are 
notwithstanding.

So I guess it depends on the banks perception of what they can stand by 
way of loss.

 ANZEAs ... I like that!

 gobledigook. is right.


I recommend english.  If you want to talk  dutch, afrikaans, spanish, 
french, et all  personal emails are better and don't confuse others.

We mainly talk english, US and Aussie on this list  and that can cause 
enough confusion.

 Also in Australia the same applies.  I have had fraudulent payments
 sent
 to me via the online banking system  and there is no question of 
 returning funds paid that way.

Perhaps it's lack of nutrition today that is causing my inability to
understand clearly what is being said here by Sidd and Michael. Perhaps
they can answer these questions...

Q. If you are sent funds via online banking (including BPay for
Australia), can those funds be reversed, and if so, how long after the
transaction has taken place does the power to reverse exist?

It seems all transactions can be reversed. Maybe not to easily but they
can be and I recall the time frame is up to 5 weeks. Having said that I
have tried to reverse myself one bank transfer and one BPAY (2 mistakes)
in which both times I was told to contact the account holder and have
them send the funds back.

Q. If funds sent to you via online banking (including BPay for
Australia) are later found to have come courtesy of some kind of
criminal activity, does the bank take the money back from you, or do
they eat the cost themselves? (Naturally I don't care about to poor
schmuck who was robbed, I care about the merchant)

I have not had my bank over ride my wishes and take funds out of my
accounts (I have refused bank wire reversals only so far). I have had a
few chats with the fraud department in which I did get the feeling they
would have been more then happy to reverse any transaction if I was not
doing my best to protect the innocents (idiots who got scammed - $3k
laptop for $1.5k - maybe it's to good to be true :-) - they where quite
happy to freeze my bank accounts though.

Hope this satisfies.

Answers to these questions from Sidd, Michael and any other ANZEAs based
on their experience will put an end to my curiosity.



Aggh! Damn, Sidd sent a message just as I was about to send this
message, which makes this message basically redundant now. Perhaps an
Aussie can give his reply though based on first hand experience.

(Damn people who beat me to the punch)

[e-gold-list] Tornado hits Indiana

2002-09-20 Thread uberhacker

It would appear that a tornado hit Indiana today causing Gaithmans to take the weekend 
off!

(From their site...)

NOTICE: Gaithmans will be closed until Monday 23rd September due to tornado damage 
which occurred on Friday 20th September in the Beech Grove, Indiana area. All staff 
members are fine, and our office facilities suffered no damage, but power and 
telephone service has been disrupted. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Lucky Eric. My best wishes go out to him and his staff.
