It will absolutely be necessary. Don't any of you remember the downtime E-gold had
during the last hurricane?
There are people on this list that rely on E-Gold as a core business. Downtime is
the equivalent of removing cash from your pockets and freezing your bank account.
I have been around the internet business for over 10 years, I know how unstable and
fragile a single link can be. The net has built in design for redundancy, it just
needs to be taken advantage of. I think I am one of the few that runs geographically
disbursed name servers, each under a different TLD. Just because I've been burned by
NSI in the past.
E-Gold is a great system and is having growing pains, I don't intend for a little
downtime to discourage me at this point, but I would like to see a plan on how
downtime is going to be reduced or eliminated.
