And, is PayPal the only way of buying it? Hi Bob: Some clarification on the gold certificates: At present, you can also purchase from Eric Gather at Gaithman's E-gold Exchange, Inc. He will have a page up today describing the certificate and payment options. And World Currency Trader also accepts checks by fax and other means, which will be at the site this week. If you do want to purchase from WCT now, send a note to Elwyn Jenkins at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've used checks by fax (or e-mail) for four years, and it works wonderfully. I have received as much as $50,000 in one check by fax. BTW, any Standard Reserve market maker can sell the SR Gold Certificates. All you need to do is have them available on your site. This week we start a major PR campaign with the Gold Certificates. We are sending out a press release to 2,387 media contacts throughout the US and Europe. Then we will do another 400 through Asia and Australia. We are also sponsoring some discussion lists promoting the certificates. Right now we can only direct them to Gaithman and WCT. And we have a team adding merchants where SR gold can be spent. They will be on board in time for folks to use the gold certificates. We have some B2B sites on board, and are now working on malls. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[e-gold-list] Debit card kick off Monday
Hi All: The long-awaited Standard Reserve debit card kickoff will be on Monday, December 11, 2000. Initially we will be working with two certified agents (market makers in e-Gold terms) - Eric Gaither ( Gaithman's - http://businesses.msn.com/GEGE/) and Graham Kelly (Gold Now - http://www.goldnow.st/), both of whom have been working diligently with us to perfect the process. While you will be able to apply for an Instant Anywhere Account at Standard Reserve, they are the only agents who will fund the accounts at present. Other agents will come on board to fund these accounts, as soon as they are certified (yes we do have a certification process). As Graham said "We are in for the long haul. It's going to be exciting!" We will make an official announcement on Monday. Some key issues (to which I would appreciate any feedback): 1. We are prepared internally to handle the avalanche of business. We have a toll-free number with ten seats in our support center dedicated to Standard Reserve support calls. Plus, our VP/Controller is overseeing the support issues to ascertain that we support all of our customers properly. (Real people answering the telephone!). 2. We have gone through thorough testing internally, and are now testing the process with Eric and Graham. They both had to change their sites, and add some pages which we provided. 3. The debit card will be accepted anywhere in the world where any pin-based debit card is accepted (using the Plus or Interlink network). 4. We will promote this to the gold economy, i.e,, those of us who know about electronic gold, and to the other 100 million who don't. We will be doing this through press releases to approx 2,800 media contacts, banner ads, sponsorships on discussion lists, search engines and much more. We want the world to learn more about the gold economy. 5. We have been working diligently to get more merchants on board who will accept Standard Currencies. We are in prototype testing with one group who has 15,000 merchants and we are hoping to have 1,500 on board soon. BTW, we are accepting agent applications at http://www.standardreserve.com We have a certified training program, and can even provide prospective agents with a turnkey business, complete with site, shopping cart, promotion and more.

[e-gold-list] The Official Launch of the Debit Card
Hi: It's official! Today, Monday, December 11, 2000 we kickoff the Standard Reserve debit card, which will allow you to withdraw funds from your Standard Gold or Standard Dollar account anywhere in the world where any pin-based debit card is accepted (using the Plus or Interlink network). Initially we will be working with two certified agents (market makers in e-Gold terms) - Eric Gaither ( Gaithman's - http://businesses.msn.com/GEGE/) and Graham Kelly (Gold Now - http://www.goldnow.st/), both of whom have been working diligently with us to perfect the process. While you will be able to apply for an Instant Anywhere Account at Standard Reserve, they are the only agents who will fund the accounts at present. Other agents will come on board to fund these accounts, as soon as they are certified (yes we do have a certification process). If anybody has any comments, complaints, praises or any other issues during this early release, please send an e-mail to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The registration process is simple (we are using a secured site, so the information transmitted is safe): 1. Go to Standard Reserve and Sign In (button at left) 2. Select the Instant Anywhere account 3. Complete the application after which you will receive an e-mail confirmation to which you must respond. That will bring you to a confirmation screen at our site, where you must enter your password. 4. When that process is completed, you will be given two alternatives for funding the account, which, at present, are Gaithman's and GoldNow. If you have an e-gold account, you can also transfer funds directly to this account (the debit card is not linked to any e-Gold account). 5. After approval of your account, and payment of the account opening fee, your debit card will be mailed to your postal address. No debit card will be shipped until the account opening fee is paid. Of course, you can begin using the account for Internet transactions as soon as the account opening fee is paid. Obviously, for those accounts who come directly from Eric or Graham, the account will be referred back to the referring agent. And, yes, we are prepared to handle the avalanche of business. We have a toll-free number with ten seats in our support center dedicated to Standard Reserve support calls (Real people answering the telephone!). The fees for the Instant Anywhere accounts are $75 annual support fee plus $3 per month and a $3.50 ATM usage fee. Both Graham and Eric have agreed to waive the in exchange fees for the initial debit card fee ($75). We are looking forward to this new and exciting concept. George PS we are accepting agent applications at http://www.standardreserve.com We have a certified training program, and can even provide prospective agents with a turnkey business, complete with site, shopping cart, promotion and more. PPS we will also be introducing an affiliates program very shortly, which will enable you to participate in revenue from registering **merchants**.

[e-gold-list] RE: Update on your Standard Reserve......
Hi: I figured I would wait until all issues were brought to the table before responding. I want to talk about my background and how and why I joined Standard Reserve and why I worked without pay for many months. Due to the many articles I write and the 130 discussion lists I am on, in addition to the services we offer I am well known in many circles. And my list of clients is quite well known (iVillage, US Superintendent of Documents, two of Al Gore's sites, PNY Electronics, etc) as well as the fact that I was Chief E-Commerce Officer for Silk Road Gifts, where we brought together Muhhamad Ali, Larry Holmes, Roberto Duran and Gerry Cooney for a unique product - a major coup in the industry. I have also been involved in many startups, and have taken a couple to the IPO stage. As a result I get 6-8 offers a month from companies who have these wild ideas and grandiose plans. I usually dismiss them very quickly with a couple of key question (management team, target market, funding, technology, etc). I was approached by Standard Reserve earlier this year, and met with Elwyn Loryn and others. Using a white board they discussed the concept, and where they were in the process. My first reaction was there were too many competitors (51 private digital currency offerings - I did my homework). However, I did see an opportunity that was not addressed - the flow of money through the retail supply chain, from the manufacturer, to the importer to the wholesaler to the retailer to the consumer. After a lengthy discussion (three hours) we were all able to see some new market opportunities. What else impressed me was how this group was able to react to change, and how we were all on the same wave length. More importantly was how Loryn Jenkins was (is) his own man and is not threatened by Elwyn or anybody else. He states his issues very clearly and argues his point very succinctly. Well, as I was riding home from that meeting I got a call saying they wanted to make me an offer. The next meeting cemented the deal. I joined as Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, later to become CEO and I've never looked back. You have to understand that the company I left (Silk Road Gifts) represented some of the largest giftware manufacturers in the world, and are poised to become a major player in that industry. And my equity position was worth a fortune. Yet, I gave it all up for this opportunity. Since then, we have busted our butts getting the business and the site going, and cementing relationships. And, we are not afraid to address issues - favorable or not. There have been many, many long hours, and many all-nighters as we brought this together. And, my NYC demeanor sometimes affects people differently (you can only understand this if you are from or deal with a New Yorker g). Yet, through it all there were no loss of tempers, no fights or arguments. Just a working team, striving for the same results. Loryn has kept his development team working diligently, all the while putting up with me and Elwyn as we bring in new deals that are far out of the scope of what we do. Then when we got it live, and had to deal with customers and the issues related to the site and offerings, we made sure that Phyllis (our VP/Controller) trained the support group, and was available at all hours to answer their support issues. She and Loryn are constantly discussing the issues, and addressing them quickly. Often those who have called her, are given her cell phone number, and she often gets calls late in the night due to the time differences. The results were clearly stated by Loryn. And that is just the tip of the iceberg! There will be many, many new and innovative programs introduced by Standard Reserve in the next six months. And we are getting the interest of funding groups, who are now competing for our business. I want to that all the folks who have joined us in these early stages. I want to especially thank Eric Gaither and Graham Kelly for their hard work in putting together some of our programs. More importantly, I want to thank Loryn, Elwyn, Phyllis and all of our team for giving me the opportunity to be part of this excellent team. Thank you for listening and please continue to address any issues that you find with Standard Reserve.

Until it does it will have to be limited to certain markets. Now what are those market Potential e-gold Markets that are available now and require no investment by the business user in complex accounting systems (I am going to be as all encompassing as possible here and encourage people to add categories): 1.

And, as with life in general, not everybody's actions pleases everybody else. However, like with any community, folks are there when you need them. My wife got hit with a terrible computer virus on Friday (don't ask) and, after trying to get answers from the anti-virus sites to no avail, I posted a help note to one of my lists, and immediately had an answer.

But I have never, ever found anything that is as beneficial as a discussion list.

So far SR (at least in part) looks very much to me like a banking institution, and the fact that it uses a PDC instead of fiat currency makes very little difference. In a bank, the underlying currency is of absolutely no consequence, the system is just "numbers in ledgers". A bank is a bank and as long as SR is used with that in mind, it may indeed turn out to be a very GOOD bank. Our business plan does not call for any investing of funds at least not in the foreseeable future. However, we do not want to be prevented from investing assets at a later date, if it seems profitable and practical to do. We are not a bank. Our debit cards were clearly checked by banking authorities who agree they are stored value cards, and do not fall under banking regulations. Therefore we are not a bank. Our business plan calls for us to acquire many merchants who will accept Standard Currency, initially online, and later offline. With pin-based stored value cards that can be processed through POS devices, offline is not as difficult as it may appear. We have four type of agents: 1. Infrastructure Agent - who has links to the banking systems in a particular country or region. These agents must also have IT capabilities. 2. Exchange Agents - who serve a similar function as market makers with e-Gold - they exchange funds to Standard Currency. 3. Customer Acquisition Agents - who acquire customers for any of our products, who are then passed on to exchange agents for conversion of funds. 4. Merchant Acquisition Agents - who acquire merchants. Obviously there are commission or wholesale pricing structures associated with each of these agent types. Initially we will deal with consumers looking to transact business using gold-based transactions. Then we go on to folks who work in a country (i.e., U.S.) and have to send money back home (i.e., Mexico, China, India, etc). For them, our debit card process works very well. After that we go to a micro-payment process, i.e., payment for goods or services on a time-based or content-based basis. For example, an online advisor may charge you for advise on a time basis. Or a newspaper (i.e., NY Times, WSJ) may charge you for page views. Our major emphasis eventually will be the entire retail supply chain, i.e., payment processing from consumer, to retailer, to wholesaler, to importer, to manufacturer. And, yes our support is excellent. At least that's what our customers and agents are telling us. Comments regarding the speed of response, or the fact that they can actually speak to a live person on a telephone, or the knowledge of our support group. I think our VP/Controller says it all very clearly - "We Care!" I hope that answers your questions. And I truly appreciate your comments, as perceptions of what we are all about are critical for us to understand. As I always tell folks - "perceptions are often reality." If we can manage perceptions, we will be very successful. Let me know if there are any other questions.

Shrink is losses, i.e., fraud, theft, etc. The incorporate a lot of safeguards to protect their inventory, i.e. tags on merchandise, guards, etc. But not much is done about fraud or losses because of bad payments. The do verify cards and checks through services. But they also get stung quite a bit. Add to that the value of money and what it costs to fund an operation, i.e., credit card transaction charges, interest on inventory financing, factoring costs, etc. The costs could easily be 3-5%.

A lower volume retailer might not be able to offset the cost of adding a "GOLD" payment option to their system, however, it would be easier for a higher volume retailer. Higher volumes have nothing to do with gold payments. A higher volume retailer can offer discounts without accepting gold payments. Wal-Mart, for example, owns 10-15% of the total retail marketplace. The next nine retailers (to round out the top 10) own another 15-20% of the market (the total for the top 10 is 30%, and I'm not sure how much Wal-Mart controls). Those "800 pound gorillas" determine how the retail space will go. They have enough clout to offer discounts or not. For example, Wal-Mart sued (and won) Visa and MC who were charging fees on debit cards. The little guy can't do that. The little guy, a/k/a/ independent retailers or momma poppa stores represent 70% of the market. For them to compete they need new and innovative products and services. So they seek products that can't be purchased in the 800 pounders. Hence they can get extra margins. So, they would be ideal candidates to use gold payment to either increase margins or pass on savings. I write a column for Gifts Decorative Accessories magazine, and am heavily involved in the retail space. My engagement prior to Standard Reserve was as Chief E-Commerce Officer for Silk Road Gifts, Inc. where we represented the largest giftware manufacturers in the world, and sold to the 800 pounders. I initiated a program to sell to the independents, and learned a lot about their particular needs. It would be similar to you competing with the Treasury department (in scope, not functions). The independents need help.

Pinta is now in the English Dictionary. There is also Hoover for Vacuum Cleaner and Fridge for Icebox. And so it goes on. I'm sure someone can think of more. All the result of Advertising. Since we are an international group, we need to be careful in our choice of words. For example, last week we were preparing for a board meeting and one of our Aussie members said he wanted to "table an issue" so we from the US were ready to go on to the next item. Then we found out that "Table" it in the rest of the English-speaking world means bring it to the table, whereas in the US it means deal with it later. Somebody on one of my lists posted the Chevy Nova Award - These are the nominees for the Chevy Nova Award. This is given out in honor of the GM's fiasco in trying to market this car in Central and South America. "No va" means, of course, in Spanish, "it doesn't go". 1. The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?" 2. Coors put its slogan, "Turn It Loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer From Diarrhea." 3. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." 4. Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick," a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "Manure Stick." 5. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the labels of what's inside, since many people can't read. 6. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine. 7. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I Saw the Potato" (la papa). 8. Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in Chinese. 9. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "kokou kole", translating into "happiness in the mouth." 10. Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate." 11. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." The company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!" 12. When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather first class seats in the Mexican market, it translated its "Fly In Leather" campaign literally, which meant "Fly Naked" (vuela en cuero) in Spanish!

I don't really agree with that, Claude! I think the world (well, a handful of people) are moving to a "gold economy" Approx 160,000 people. While the number of folks online is a very inexact science, the total reported by NUA, the leading worldwide survey firm is 407.1 million. http://www.nua.ie/surveys/how_many_online/index.html That means there are .039% involved in the gold economy. So, my question always is "How do we attract the other 406,940,000 netizens?" IMHO it gets back to the Catch22 issues... Merchant: "What is the total number of people may be spending with me?" Consumer: "Where can I spend my gold?" Of course there are other issues with consumers: Regarding paying of salaries at major corporations (or many others), cheaper isn't always better. Can you picture a major corporation paying 5,000 people worldwide (which we are discussing now) and not be able to reach customer service by telephone? While I do agree that the fees for funding gold can be expensive, you need to look at the total picture - what is the customer saving by using gold? Look at tangible (actual) and intangible savings.

One of the most important reasons for advertising is simply to let people know that you exist, or what you sell, or what a current special is. It's a means of communicating. Not in my book (or in Sergio Zyman's book - "End of Marketing As We Knew It"). The main reason to advertise is to sell products! Marketing or PR may be a way of communication. For those of us in the US, do you remember the Coca Cola ads around the Super Bowl a couple of years ago where Mean Joe Green was going in to the lockers and a youngster tried talking to him, and finally got his attention with a Coke? The ad won awards, is one of the best known ads on TV, yada, yada, yada. Yet Zyman (who was CMO at Coca Cola at the time) pulled the ad very quickly. Why? "Because it didn't bring more customers into the stores." Advertising needs to be consistent, timely and focused. That payment page is the choke point. The funnel. http://www.bananagold.com/howitshouldbe.gif Man, would that be valuable to have a banner there for a while, every now and then. 68,459 funded accounts divided by 9111 spends/day equals about 8 days to be exposed to some large percentage of the spenders. You're right JP. Advertising is commercial grease, oil, silicon spray to commerce. Banner ads are the least effective way to advertise. The return is less than 1/2 of 1% return. Which is why ad companies like iVillage, Yahoo and others are suffering and looking for new ways to generate revenue. Banner ads are supposedly good for generating brand awareness, but I haven't seen any definitive facts on that. Advertising is definitely needed, but you need to use effective advertising, which is an art in itself.

If truly valuable, they will 'get it' from education, sheer necessity, or time. Perhaps. But to get into mainstream you need more than education. Let's assume that we have every merchant in the world accepting gold. Why would a consumer want to buy gold at 9-15% to purchase from merchants when they could use their credit card, and, if paid timely, incur no fees? If not paid timely they get a loan. So, the gold economy is wonderful for the merchant, but not so good for the consumer. And I don't think education alone will solve that.

Why would a consumer want to buy gold at 9-15% to purchase from merchants when they could use their credit card, and, if paid timely, incur no fees? If not paid timely they get a loan. Plus, another thing to consider -- you can currently purchase e-gold at premiums ranging from 2.75% to 15% depending upon payment method and amount purchased. On average, the cost (all costs, percentage take, transaction fee, gateway fees, bank fees, etc) to a merchant accepting CC's as payment averages about 6% (in some industries, and for some specific businesses, its as low as 2% and for some it's as high as 20% -- I know, I did my shopping), and he must increase all his prices by at least this amount no matter if the customer pays cash or uses credit card; because it is illegal in most countries for the merchant to do otherwise and merchant CC contracts have this stipulation as well (this was not always the case -- in the fledling years of the CC-industry merchants used to have different prices for different payment methods. This was hurting the growth of the credit card industry, so they lobbied congress in the U.S. and put a stop to it, plus added clauses to their contracts to forbid and did other nasties in other countries to make sure similar policies were enforced). So in reality, if merchant accepts e-gold and does not take CC's as payment, therefore being able to offer lower prices, and a customer uses e-gold (or the others that are springing up) to purchase from this merchant the customer's total cost (including the cost of exchanging fiat currency for e-gold) of the goods or service is really no more than it would have been otherwise, and may often be less. Dreamer ;-). In theory that is true. In reality it's a way for them to pocket more profit. But yes, if sold correctly, it is a way for the merchant to help offset the costs to a consumer. Another benefit of the gold economy is that there's far less hassle and paperwork than with credit cards -- another cost savings. That's an intangible benefit, and can't be figured into the equation. You still need people to shuffle other papers, so you can't reduce costs. I don't argue the benefits to the merchant. They are wonderful. The merchant is not the problem. It's the consumer who must pay higher fees to join the club. . . . So, the gold economy is wonderful for the merchant, but not so good for the consumer. . . . So actually the gold-economy is great for both the merchant and the consumer. How do you figure? Let use some hypotheticals. You're a merchant selling products where the margins are already very low. You take credit cards and pay 2.5% Now you are going to take gold, where you may pay 1.75%. I want to buy merchandise from you. Let's say I buy gold for the lowest you state above 2.75%. Are you going to give me an additional 2.75% discount when you are only saving 1/2%? Yes, I understand the non-reversible, no chargeback, yada, yada,yada. But, I also know the mentality of retailers. It's a tough sell. I should explain that I have been involved with retailing most of my career (which spans too many decades ;-). I have consulted for major top 10 retailers as well as mom pop stores. And I have been writing a column in one of the top retail magazines for six years. While I understand that I don't know everything, I do know that retailers are a tough bunch to convince of change. Look how long it took EDI to become a reality in industries other than food? And look at all those B2B hubs out there who died because they thought they were going to make the retailers job easier. Perhaps we are looking in the wrong areas. Maybe we need the gold economy to be brought into the education arena, and teach folks early. But, this kind of discussion is great, because it helps us understand the issues, and may help us all determine what it will take to implement change.

[e-gold-list] Cards are being shipped
Hi: The long-awaited Standard Reserve Instant Anywhere stored-value ATM cards are on their way! We completed our thorough testing this morning successfully (I even went to an ATM and pulled money out). The cards will be processed by the supplier beginning today and will ship within 2-5 days. Because of the delay, they have agreed to expedite the cards. So, check your mail. Account holders should start seeing your cards by the end of next week, through the middle of the following week depending on where in the world you live. Separate instructions will be sent to account holders. We have over 8,000 inquiries for the cards. We also signed up a new agent who's sole function is to sell these cards to the non-gold economy world. We expect to see 25,000 cards this year. Needless to say we are excited!

[e-gold-list] The new $1 million man
Hi All: Meet Steve Renner, the new $1 million man. Steve is Standard Reserve's newest agent, and, with his first deal, he brought in 350 ATM cards and a $1.2 million inexchange. And he's not even open for business yet! Steve is the main principal at Cash Cards International, and their site will be open for business officially on March 15. He has put together one of the best sales management teams and one of the largest sales forces in the world. All professionals, and all well-focused on one thing - to bring in new business for Standard Reserve. I personally talked with his top management team, and was very impressed. Actually, it wasn't a talk - they interviewed me to be sure Standard reserve could carry out the mission. They are accepting e-Gold to join the program, and, as always, you can exchange e-Gold for Standard Reserve currencies for free. We are expecting some great things from Steve and his team. And they are taking on new distributors and sales folks. Visit their site at http://www.cashcards.net and see what they are offering, and signup for their program. And yes, that is my picture on the "About Us" page. Our thanks to Steve and his group for believing in Standard Reserve and their dedicated commitment to helping the gold economy succeed. BTW, if you have any questions on why to signup with Steve vs registering with Standard Reserve don't be afraid to ask Steve.We have an exclusive contract with Cash Cards International for network marketing programs.

[e-gold-list] Cash Cards International
Hi: I will say we are impressed with Cash Cards International. They are signing up new Instant Anywhere accounts (with the ATM card) at a rapid rate, and some of our agents (MMs) are also benefiting with the exchanges. (I reported earlier the 350 accounts and $1.2 million inexchange with their first deal). And their REPs (Real-Time eCommerce Provider), who now number over 20,000 and growing, earn big commissions. On a conference call on Sunday, we had top producers from ten countries on the call. Ed Tam Sing, International Marketing Director, reported that selling as little as three accounts, could earn $1 million+ for a member (obviously that is not guaranteed, and in no way are we saying or implying that you will do that volume). Better yet, merchants are now interested in joining the program. Cash Cards has 700 merchants who expressed an interest in joining, and, many more will be coming on quickly. Another segment that works for Cash Cards and Standard Reserve is the payment of affiliates and/or payrolls for major companies. That is a win-win for everybody - we provide a way to pay easily and the employer/affialiator saves time and money. We are looking forward to some big numbers from Cash Cards International, and won't be surprised to see 1 million account holders at the rate they are going. Which is why we gave them an exclusive agreement for marketing the SR Instant Anywhere account to network marketing groups worldwide. Check them out at http://www.cashcards.net/?1009 Pretty soon, we will have a "World Wide Currency for the World Wide Web."

And having EJ back full time in SR really paid off, as today he brought in a deal that starts with 10,000 employees being paid through Instant Anywhere, with the total number of employees to be 300,000.

Magnificent! That's 10,000 x average $40,000 per annum = 400 million per annum, or, hell, call it a half billion. Rising to 12 billion at 300,000 employees. General Electric has about 300,000 employees so maybe it's GE. While this is not GE, we are in discussion with one of the Fortune 10 right now which we can't discuss yet. Surprisingly enough there are a lot of companies with large numbers of employees who are not reported, i.e., like GE. Strange as it may seem, there is a world outside the US ;-). And many of them are conglomerates. For example, I am working on another one right now that should close in early April which has 160,000 people paid, for an annual payroll of $2.5 billion. We met last night, ironed out the details, and now I have to put together a detailed plan for final presentation at HQ. They have been looking at this type of process for over a year, and couldn't find it. This is great news George. Are they adopting SR-Gold or SR- Dollars ? In other words, are we gonna see a huge jump in e-gold reserves in circulation ? Employees (from both) will have a choice of SR USD or SR AUG, so there may be an increase in gold in circulation. This is another product we will be officially introducing soon - Corporate Payment Process. Without advertising, we have folks coming out of the woodwork with large numbers of employees who want to pay them via this product. We are working on some big ones now (minimum 20,000 employees), and, when we settle down we will officially introduce this product. And that is just one of many. Add that to our customer acquisition efforts with Steve Renner and Cash Cards International, and we will have one very large user base this year. Now, we have merchants interested and we are beefing up our sales team to bring on the 700 merchants who have inquired about SR in the past 45 days. Our move to BVI, while it is slowing us down slightly, will be beneficial in the long run. EJ will be there next week overseeing the office setup and doing the preliminary interviewing of potential staff. I will be there the following week hiring staff (minimum four) and helping to finalize the physical location. And as EJ said, we will be expanding our infrastructure agents throughout the world. We are in discussions or contract negotiations with six right now as we speak. Per our board of directors, my charge this year is to traverse the globe bringing on infrastructure agents. Now, before y'all jump on the telephones calling me, it will require an investment on your part of $50,000 to $500,000, depending on your location and capabilities. Exciting times. And as I keep telling folks, I am grabbing on to the head of this venture and just hanging on tight. Of course, it would help if we could extend the day to 40 hours ;-).

Is anybody working on something like that? Our Standard Reserve ATM card can work at any merchant that accepts pin-based debit cards. We use it at our local Kroger. My area of expertise is in retailing, especially technology for retailers. It's relatively easy to add Standard Reserve payment option to most POS systems. They usually have setup options where the retailer can establish his/her own method of payment, i.e., check, cash, debit card, Amex, Visa, etc. All they need is instructions. Most merchants are linked to a card processing company, and are not able to capture credit card information. You probably saw the Zon JR unit where they swipe the card and it goes to the processor. If they use a debit card capture machine they don't have access to your PW, as it is entered once the connection is made, and not on the local machine. If somebody hands you a computer keyboard, think twice. Of course adding another payment option is always a Catch-22 situation. The merchant plays the numbers game also.

Just to clarify, Standard Reserve has always had a standards of conduct requirement from it's agents, as published in our Agent's Agreement. It gives us the right to reprimand an agent for misconduct (which we have done) and to terminate an agent for not adhering to our high standards. And, yes, we did terminate an agent even though the potential revenue from that agent was quite high. Our customers come first. Unfortunately, an association like eCTA doesn't carry much weight unless it is licensed, like the Bar Association, or the AICPA or other such organizations. Decades ago the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) tried to certify it's members (CDP) to give credibility. It died, since DPMA wasn't recognized as a licensed group.

What? There's a bunch of unlicensed lawyers sitting around out there waiting for business to come their way? We don't have any choice in the matter because of the government. That's why the ABA has weight. It's legally taken choice away from us here in the US. Yes. They are called Paralegals and are legal in many states. And they are called accountants or tax preparers, rather than CPAs. The difference is if you want to deal with the court you need a lawyer, or with investors you need a CPA. Licenses are just an anti-competition thing. They certainly don't mean you're good at what you do as lawyers, doctors and pipefitters have demonstrated over and over again. How else does one evaluate a professional? Why should anybody pay a government for permission to work? That doesn't make any sense, George. It's rediculous concept. Who is suggesting paying for permission to work? Licensing can be an education issue. CPAs are licensed by the state board of education, not the government. If money changers should be licensed, why shouldn't private money producing companies be required to be license by the government? Who said they should be licensed? I said an association that is not a licensing body is merely a trade association, and has little weight in the business world. Does the Web Consultant's Association mean anything? Would you select a Web consultant because he/she was a member of that association? I personally believe the eCTA is a good thing. However, I don't know if it will make the general public feel any better. Let's give a scenario here: assume an exchange agent decides to offer poor service to a customer, or rips off a customer. Will the eCTA black ball that agent? What if it's not true? Will the eCTA run the risk of being sued for defamation of character? If it doesn't protect the public or settle arbitration, then it is merely a trade association organized for the benefit of it's members.

If you want to pay someone on a regular basis anywhere in the world, then Western Union is no longer your only option. Send someone a payment through a Standard Reserve Account and they can pull the money straight out of their local ATM. They don't even need a market maker. You might want to consider targetting some of the recent immigrants into the US. I understand that they frequently send money back home through the Western Union counters. There always seem to be long lines. Yep. That's how we started with this program. We just got a 10,000 member group from Japan who need to pay their members and the members don't have Internet access. So we developed the program to got from their employer or organizations account directly to the employee or members ATM card. We have two large groups coming on with over 100,000 accounts. In one case they work in the travel industry in Mexico or the Caribbean and have family back home in Costa Rica or Indonesia. The second group are the Hispanic market place which is very large in the US. Atlanta has the fifth largest Mexican population in the US. On average they send $500 home every three weeks. So, we are hoping that this GAP (Global ATM Payment) program really fills a niche. George Western Union is your real competitor here. Excellent!

However, for those with family in another country or to pay folks in another country, SR works best. Personally, for example, I moved to BVI and still have a home in Atlanta. So how do I pay the folks back home who are maintaining that home? I opened a SR Instant Anywhere account for each of them and I pay all the charges for the accounts, and simply transfer funds as needed.

On July 10, some of us will be flying to Cozumel to implement the program. We will start with a test group of 100 people, then expand to one ship and then all the Western Caribbean cruise ships. Each crew member will get two accounts - one for him and one for his family back home. The crew will be paid in Standard Reserve USD. When they reach Cozumel, MX, they will go to one of three processing centers where there are 130 internet-capable computers and telephones available. The crew member will exchange tips (cash) with the exchange agents in these centers, and receive additional SR USD, immediately. The crew member can transfer funds to the family back home, who can then extract funds from a local ATM. And we have a couple of more like this in the works, two of which are bigger. BTW, we are looking for subsidiary agents, and are planning on a subsidiary agent conference here in BVI in late August. We are working on the details now.
