I think that e-gold has reached the level when it would be rather hard work to make people forget about it. e-Gold is based on ideas instead of just calculations, it is more like religion than common business. e-Gold has technology and experience. It may be a good idea to extend this technology so that it would be more robust in emergency situations to make people yet more confident in the system. The main point is that anyone may use payment system where ownership of something valuable may be transferred online in real time without charge backs using any secure browser software plus advanced technology like shopping cart interface etc. What e-gold really does is that it provides advanced payment services which may be based on just about anything valuable. Gold is the catchy word for advertising but there are other valuables as well which may be used for online payments. There is a well known among Russian speaking webmasters payment system which is working for already several years. It is called Russian Link Exchange banner exchange -- http://www.rle.ru/ http://www.linkexchange.ru/ Any webmaster may accumulate banner impressions and transfer them to someone's else account in this system. These impressions are the sort of online currency now which is used to buy Web hosting or to pay for services etc, and these impressions may be sold for money. The main thing here is wide user base of all Russian speaking webmasters and good reputation of this banner exchange system. This system has several grades of impressions, Classic without targeting and Gold with targeting etc, these grades are valued and treated rather separately, just like various metals in e-gold accounts. Common prices are now -- 10 US cents = 1,000 Classic impressions, 25 US cents = 1,000 Gold impressions. What I want to say is that it may be a good idea to use e-gold system and technology as foundation for online digital economy and to add several (*many*) other valuables like banner impressions etc thus making e-gold the World's central clearing house for online payments. e-Gold can create banner exchnage system and make its banner impressions integrated into e-gold like e-metals are, thus increasing user base up to all webmasters and making the whole system generating its own national product. Just like other currencies are backed not only by static assets but by production of valuables. There was Russian speaking poet Alexander Pushkin who has once written in Eugeny Onegin poetic romance -- To est on mog sudit o tom kak gosudarstvo bogateet i pochemu ne nuzhno zolota emu kogda prostoj product imeet. In English -- That is he was able to understand how the country is becoming more wealthy and why it does not need gold when it has simple product. Any opinions?
