No its perfectly legit. :) Basically, I've been thinking to develop a security system that wraps around existing e-gold interface. During the signup process a user would select an option to delegate trust to a hardened host implementing the formentioned system ( i.e. user would switch all access control rights to point to that host ). From that point on user would user use a host as intermediary to access the e-gold interface. Host would provide variety of authentication schemes and either proxy or implement the required e-gold functionality. I would like to have the attribute modificaition option available from the automation api, otherwise I would have to manually instruct user on how to change it or figure out a way of changing it once the user has established ssl session. As far as the criminals go, well they currently need account number/password to log on in order to do anything correct ? They can also currently intiate automated spends without inputting a turing number correct ? So I was thinking my addition would not pose as much of a risk. There are probably other uses for this feature as well. Hope this explains better. Cheers. -- Alex Pavlovic CTO Taskforce-1 Inc.
