We're not a provider (yet) but I guess we could do it,
assuming that the affiliate program was reasonably known.

We actually go one step better:  One of my sidelines is
physically issuing the affiliate checks themselves; we're
sending out around 600-700 checks each month.  Anyone who 
wants their payment in e-gold, PayPal, etc., can do so.
Only perhaps 1% of the people do this, but those few are
very happy that we can do this.

Danny Van den Berghe has some good ideas.

I'd add that, rather than having to deal with multiple accounts,
it'd be more straight-forward to allow the user to configure a 
certain threshhold to differentiate between payment types.

Taking the idea one step further, I wouldn't object if I could
add a second threshhold which requires even further authentication,
such as physical mail or a telephone call.  I'd be willing to 
agree to a US$10 charge for each payment authenticated in this
fashion.

 However, the entire system could be set to pay with a delay (48 hours)

Unacceptable.  What may be a huge loss for one person may be less so for

threshhold for confirmation would probably be closer to US$2,500, as
I often spend $500 and wouldn't want that to be restricted.

[e-gold-list] basic e-gold site usage experience

2003-11-14 Thread David Beroff
I'm somewhat hesitant to bring up items like this, since
the last time I tried mentioning a potential enhancement
(configurable transaction auto-emails), I had several 
people tell me why it  *couldn't*  be done.  Still, after
making a bunch of e-gold payments today, I felt that I 
should at least try mentioning some ongoing concerns.

- The comment field is sometimes too short for a reasonable
description of a more complex transaction.  I'm not asking
for hundreds of characters, but 80 would be better than
whatever it is now.

- The interface rejected an embedded comma, e.g., 2,500,
even though it doesn't quibble about having exactly two
decimal points (as does PayPal).

- Despite the fine print stating a 20-minute auto-logout
timeout, it seems  *much*  shorter than that, and this
is when I'm concentrating on going through a specific
sequence of payments.  If the phone rings or something, 
then I can absolutely forget about retaining my session.

- The Turing number is very hard to read.  I've seen the
mechanism implemented on other sites (Overture, Yahoo,
SpamArrest) where the graphics still retain a good amount
of complexity, but I can still read the word clearly.
Frankly, I don't even see the need for the Turing challenge
on the  *first*  login attempt, but that's just me.

- Ideally, I'd like some sort of spreadsheet interface to
allow me to import a series of payments.  This may already
be available, but I haven't looked around lately.

Thanks for your time!

 We see this every time there's a new note put into circulation --

Not just that.  Even (or especially) when people know that the new bills

it's quite possible that they'll think, Oh, it's different, but it's

Hi, Jim!

 Any survey which suffers as badly as this one does from
 self-selection error cannot be considered statistically
 relevant.

Yeah, that's true.  Still, that doesn't mean that one can't
learn  *something*  from the data.  In line with your own
observations, our WheresGeorge group would (I would think)
be even more likely to try to mark and enter the particular
bills in question, thus skewing the number even higher than
the true natural circulation.  A reasonable conclusion would
then be that they're even rarer than implied by my post
yesterday.

Of course, this will change over the next few weeks.

Again, I agree that the numbers are not statistically valid,
but I do note that the value has increased from 1,668 to 2,017 
over the last day.  I wonder if anyone would have the patience
to screen-scrape that value on a daily basis, to make a pretty,

 David, I think there are more costs than just the coding, like the ongoing

Fair enough.  Our primary outbound mail server for Freedback.com
sends 30k mail/day, which is about the right order of magnitude to
current e-gold use.  (I can't tell precisely, since stats.html appears down.)
That server hums along at a comfortable load of 0.4, using bandwidth
consistantly at 100kbps in each direction.  So, it's more like $100/mo.

 Also, anyone can use these other free services already to achieve e-mail 
 notification, but if I am not wrong you suggested that ALL the details be 
 e-mailed by default ALL the time. I don't know about you, but I believe 
 that many users would consider that to be a very real security concern. If 
 the security aspects were to be dealt with, and the possibility of other 
 e-mails impersonating e-gold transaction reports, then we would be back at 
 the position of having a service that only a subset of (technically savvy) 
 users would be able to implement, that is, via the e-gold Shopping Cart 
 Interface (SCI).
 
 Whether you have an e-mail that suggests a transaction has been made or 
 not, you still need to verify for yourself that you really have received 
 the funds. Until encryption and authentication issues can be dealt with, an 
 e-mailed transaction report may be a useful prompt, but it cannot be relied 
 upon. Better that it contained no details!

That's reasonable.  What if we agreed that the default would be the simple 
notification prompt, with no details.  (Even just that would help address most 
of my original concerns.)  Each user would then have the option of turning 
these off, or turning on full details.

[e-gold-list] Quick, easy, critical... but clearly missing

2002-09-23 Thread David Beroff

As I continue to use e-gold for more and more real
business transactions, one thing continues to stick out
like a sore thumb:  Lack of an email confirmation sent
from e-gold to both parties with all transaction details,
under all circumstances.

There are many reasons why I need this, primarily
because I need to work in an event-driven model
to work with my clients.  It's also more professional
to not have to ask them to email me independently,
or to waste time constantly checking the site for a
transaction that I may (or may not!) expect.  Also,
even though the site has full transactional records,
I already use my email system to manage many
other Internet-based financial transactions, and so
it'd be very useful to have email-based records from
e-gold for future reference.

I don't use the privacy features of e-gold (yet), but
one additional advantage of this would be that parties
could communicate transactional details through the
comments without ever needing to know the other
party's email address.  (A simple case would be a
charitable donation where the payor might want
to express their appreciation for the recipient's
cause, without either party knowing the other's
email address.)  In the future, this could actually
be expanded to the postage-based email system
that many have envisioned, where a person could
configure that they would not read unsolicited 
commercial emails unless they were getting paid 
at least X mg.

Since this has been brought up enough times by
myself and others, let me quickly recap the issues
(and answers) that I recall from prior rounds of 
discussion, in hopes of minimizing the path from 
this email to actual, live implementation:

- Not everyone would want such emails:  Well, I for one
can't exactly imagine how many people wouldn't, (since
I have all sorts of other financial activity which auto-generates
email, which is then quietly auto-filtered by Pegasus),
*but*  for those who  *would*  object, simply make this
functionality configurable, with a default of on.  There
could even be an intermediate choice, where e-gold 
could simply send a terse, Activity has occurred email,
without further details, if this is what is desired.

- Authenticity (How do I know that this was truly sent
by e-gold?):  In addition to the mail headers, it should also 
be simple enough to add a PGP signature.  Maybe even
have a utility form on the e-gold site which could
auto-authenticate an email copied-and-pasted into the 
form.  Ultimately, a person can still double-check the
site itself if they are suspicious.

- Privacy:  Somewhat of a combination of the above two
concerns, this could also be addressed in a similar fashion.
Allow the recipient to configure their public PGP key into
the e-gold system, so that transactional details do not
get transmitted in cleartext if not desired.

- Other e-gold applications/intermediaries already do send 
emails:  My point is that this should be 100% across the board, 
i.e., from e-gold.com, so that it absolutely does not matter  
*how*  a person pays another, but that both parties always 
*know*  that an email will be sent.

- Fallibility:  OK, yes, emails can fail.  Oh, well.  People
can still always fall back to the site for transaction details.

C'mon, E-gold:  This shouldn't be a discussion item,
it should be an ACTION item!  What is  *really*  stopping
you from implementing something trivial which would
help almost every single one of your (paying!) customers?

[e-gold-list] WANTED: C/C++ code for e-gold

2002-07-07 Thread David Beroff

Hello!

I need someone who is fluent in both Perl and either C or C++ to
translate a single Perl module.  This project has very limited scope,
i.e., this email should have all necessary details needed.  There is
*no*  underlying big project or likelihood of future work, since we
don't normally deal with C or C++.

Please email me with your quote in terms of number of grams of
e-gold you are asking for the total project, as well as a reasonable
estimated delivery date.  Needless to say, don't start until I have
replied to accept or decline, so as to prevent double-work.

Frankly, I'm looking for someone who looks at this and says
to themselves, What's the big deal?  This is very trivial.
(We don't have any C/C++ expertise in-house, and my own
knowledge has gone sorely rusty after many years of disuse.)
Feel free to show me a current example of your work.

The job is to translate the following module from Perl to C++
(preferred) or C.  The program structure should be retained
as closely as possible, including retention of  *all*  comments,
interfaces (function name, parameter order, etc.), so that 
future maintainers can quickly make parallel changes.
(This Perl module also currently exists as PHP and ASP.)

   http://LeadFactory.com/pub/install/download/leadf-co-reg/lf_call_ad.pl

It's likely that two additional items will need to be added
as the first parameters to lf_call_ad():  a pointer to a 
memory block (for the output to be returned) and its size.
You can point out other similar issues which may or
may not be obvious.

We'll also need a tiny main() module to prove that the
function works, as well as  *simple*  building instructions.
(A single line is fine; this does  *not*  need a Makefile!)

Probably the biggest task here will be to translate the usage of 
the LWP::Simple package to a call to libwww; for the latter, see
   http://www.w3.org/Library/

We will retain full rights to the code produced.  Your name can
appear in the change-section, but we will not be promoting your
name/URL/firm/etc. in any other fashion.

Thank you for your consideration!

[e-gold-list] OFFER: opt-in leads / newsletter subscribers

2002-04-24 Thread David Beroff

Hello!

We're in the process of revamping our secure-server 
ordering software for LeadFactory.com, and I thought 
that this would be a real good time to see if there's truly 
some demand for our service from the e-gold community.
i.e., If we can get some e-gold based orders (or maybe 
even a single large order), it will give us more incentive to 
add e-gold to the list of accepted payment vehicles.

LeadFactory offers opt-in leads (name and email address)
of people who are subscribing to your specific newsletter,
ezine, or other email-based publication.  We work with a
network of sites which present a brief description of your
newsletter to their visitors, and invite them to voluntarily
subscribe, without incentives or pre-checking.  You then
own the subscribers, and can mail your message(s) to 
them unless they choose to leave.  For more info, see:

   http://LeadFactory.com/leads/?e-gold-list

We're of course also looking to grow said network of sites;
if you have a well-trafficked website that uses CGI/Perl/PHP, 
we could send you a nice monthly income:

   http://LeadFactory.com/pub/?e-gold-list

To answer an earlier off-list question, we work best with
businesses who are trying to reach a large segment of
the population.  We do real well with organizations offering
opportunities in self-improvement, health, finance, business,
Internet marketing education, and so on.  We've now sold
1.3 million of these types of subscriptions.  We currently 
can't target tight niche markets such as e-gold users. :-)

We'll offer a 5% discount on any e-gold order over 25 grams.
You will also get a bit of color (HTML-highlighting) for FREE.
This offer expires 5pm (Eastern) April 30, 2002.

Since the order screen doesn't currently connect to
the e-gold SCI, (or FastSCI, etc.), please email me
your comments either before or after spending to 
e-gold account 427324 (note.com LLC).

[e-gold-list] Re: Another fastSCI improvement! (v0.3)

2002-04-01 Thread David Beroff

 Have you ever needed to spend some e-gold and send the receiver an email
 alerting them to the transaction?

Yes... *every*  time!  (i.e., not  *just*  when using the e-gold SCI)

It's now been over two weeks since Jay W. said that it would
be trivial to implement this.

The objections and responses have been:

- Too much mail
A: The  *email recipient*  can configure whether they want
to turn these off, but this switch defaults as on.

- Authenticity
A: Sign emails with PGP.

So far, there really haven't been any objections to the basic
approach of sending  *all*  transaction details to both parties.

Am I missing something here?

[e-gold-list] Re: email notifications?

2002-03-21 Thread David Beroff

(Sorry; I had somehow missed this one last week.)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] said,
 That would be a LOT of email!

If you are lucky enough to have a lot of volume, yes.

In some cases (such as our own), that's preferable;
we simply auto-filter the emails as they come in, and
that builds the same offline audit trail that we have with 
other transactional parties.

In other cases, you would simply configure your 
preferences at the e-gold site.  I'd recommend that
the default would be to send everything unless 
otherwise configured.  My hunch is that most people
will  *prefer*  the emails.  (e.g., Craig's stories.)

btw, all of this discussion on ClickTwoCents and FastSCI
remind me of a rather obvious fourth case in the earlier 
thread of, When would you want to enter into an e-gold
transaction without knowing your counterparty?  It's 
clear that there's a need for donations and other voluntary
payments for ideas and the like.  Further, in some of these 
cases, the comments field often proves more important 
than the actual value spent.

So, it's now been a week since Jay W. said, it's not terribly 
hard to make software send an an email message. :)  
Is this available yet? :-)

 all browsers you know?

I've done a quarter million dollars' worth of business using our
last annual cert; I would've heard about it if there was a problem.

[e-gold-list] Re: handy graphing feature

2002-03-15 Thread David Beroff

 My other questions for you are, who is goldca.com?  Where can I get a copy
 of their Root CA certificate and its fingerprint?  Why does an attempt to
 goto www.goldca.com encounter a certificate they signed for themselves now
 expired a fortnight and only a password protected web space?  I would like
 to complete due diligence for the chain of trust for 1mdc's secure server.

 Frank, 1mdc has one of those crappy cheap SSL certs.
 
 We were too cheap to buy a proper Verisign cert :)
 
 But, we will do so ASAP!!

No need to pay Verisign's $349 or more, when you can save 64%+ at

I'm actually dealing with them heavily today; you can read about how 
well they are taking care of me by reading today's posts in my journal,

[e-gold-list] Re: email notifications?

2002-03-14 Thread David Beroff

Jay W. replied:
 there is not currently a generic email transaction notification
 option for e-gold account holders.

Um... ok, thanks.  Wouldn't it make sense to add one?  :-)

It would seem incredibly beneficial to both parties to confirm each
transaction, and appropriate use of the Memo field means that,
theoretically, no other email conversation needs to occur.

Yes, there are privacy concerns, such as whether or not the
parties' email addresses are revealed to the other, although
this could all be configurable in such a fashion that people
who  *want*  to communicate this, can do so.

 also you could certainly make your own cgi at STATUS_URL do
 any kind of email sending you'd like.

But I don't necessary  *have*  the other party's email address. :-)

As a matter of fact, the whole privacy/anonymity thing can work
*better* if e-gold handles the email alerts; right now, there's no
easy way for one party to alert the other that they made a spend.

, I'm not going to bother; for a
sizeable chunk of a kg, I'll probably take the extra time. :-)

So yeah, my vote is to disclose  *all*   information 
from the given transaction.

It's not an absolute, but you can remind recipients to check
the bottom-most (earliest) Received:  line in the headers,
as well as a general disclaimer that the emails are provided
for convenience only; the website is the court of last resort,
yadda, yadda, yadda.

One more point:

Since all of our other online business relationships eventually
produce an email record of all transactions, it becomes very 
convenient to use our email programs as a way of organizing
all of our cashflow.  Yes, if everything we did were to involve
e-gold, we could use the e-gold history screen to do this, but 
that's simply not always going to be the case.

[e-gold-list] market maker competitive guide?

2002-02-19 Thread David Beroff

Perhaps I am skating on thin ice here (seeing as there are
so many market makers on this list), but... Does there exist
a competitive guide to the e-gold market makers, dynamically 
updated, so that one can compare bid/ask spreads (i.e.,
premia and discounts) for various transactions (e.g., based
on transaction size and payment method)?  Presumably,
the spreads narrow as transaction size increases, so that
the smaller market makers have a source of e-gold from the 
larger ones, and so on.  Or am I missing something basic?

Disclosure:  We're planning on becoming a market maker. :-)

Craig Spencer [EMAIL PROTECTED] said,
 I'm with you Don.  I trust JP like he trusts Paul Vahur but what

 make him sound like a phoney (which I know he is not!).

I'm not entirely sure that his business model will succeed,
but the  *concept*  certainly does make sense to me.

Let's say that I'm an advertiser (which I am).
I may want to place this ad in front of JP's members:

Patrick Chkoreff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 If they decide to go out of business they'll
 just let all the lodgments expire and all the funds will return to the
 users' e-gold accounts.  Because they're honest.

I suspect I am going to ignite a flame war, but this  *does*  bring 
up a very valid question which is one of the major concerns when 
I try to get others to use e-gold:  Yes, let's assume that everyone
on  *this*  list implicitly trusts the backers of 1mdc and e-gold.  
But what exactly do I tell someone when they ask what happens if
1mdc goes under?  Or e-gold.com, themselves?  I mean, it's not
exactly like I can go to one of the vaults with a recent printout of 
my balance and demand that they scrape on one of the gold bars 
to give me my few grams.

Please don't flame me.  This is a real issue that comes up when
I am talking to potential members of our e-gold economy.  I suspect
that mistrust is ultimately the  *primary*  detractor.

 In the movie Field of Dreams, Kevin Kostner builds a baseball field on the
 premise that if you build it, they will come.  Well, I guess JP is
 building 1mdc on the premise that if they come, he will build it.

If you think about it, the latter is a much better way to build a business.
Assess the demand first, and then rise to meet it.  This is precisely how
I started my first successful Web-based business; I saw that people
were searching for something like Freedback.com, but couldn't find
any site to meet the need, so I started one. :-)

 Yes, I had an unsuccessful login attempt at 05:32 GMT this morning (Wed
