Hi John Paul, True! E-gold obtain gold bars in advance of demand from the general public, but this is actual demand from Omnipay (or anyone else if they could bail in gold) which is anticipating their customers' demand (as you explained). (I wrote my reply before reading yours, but I figured some may benefit from another independent explanation.) This isn't the first time I have mixed up e-gold, G&SR or OmniPay in an otherwise reasonable explanation of the operation of the e-gold concept. I know that you are much closer to the action than I. (Met them and had it all explained in person, and so on.) What I did not understand (or remember) was that when e-gold needed another bar it was actually OmniPay who purchased it and then bailed it into the e-gold system without ever e-gold possessing national currency and thereupon paying someone for the gold. Strangely I was aware that e-gold does not have a bank account, but I did not make the logical connection that they never make cash transactions either!
