If you went this route -- to allow 'Spam Spends' -- then a category could be set-up by E-Gold for such a spend, which WOULD be broadcast simultaneously to each receiver through their e-mail address, BUT E-Gold would have to allow each receiver the option of charging a business to send this type

I want e-gold to remain a currency, plain and simple. I don't want them to turn into some sort of ad house/paid-to-read program. Let e-gold ltd. do what it does best, be a accounting system for it's private digital currency. That's fair enough -- but that means that non-cottage industries

Sure, you would have no interest in knowing that etrade now take egold, or that walmart.com now takes egold, or that Sprint just decided to let you pay by egold. I, and the rest of the world, would very quickly find out if some MegaCorp, like Sprint, started accepting e-gold. Do you think

Autospend 1 mg to each user in numeric sequence and put your message in the memo field. Good idea, but I tried it already. I used a pool of known e-gold accounts to test how many people would read the message. Only one did out of ~ 80 tests. You asked for a way to reach e-gold users.

Someone (Viking?) was implying that the ADS in magazines SUPPLEMENT magazines incomes -- ie, mazgines/newspapers get income from the cover price. That is not correct (the cover price is all-but irrelevant), magazines, like all media, are simply things that exist because of advertising.
