Some countries (let's take Estonia for example ;-)) have very strong Internet-banks enabling quick transfers between accounts and banks on national level. Thanks to that our fastest exchange took 10 minutes (time between customer registering order at our site and when we made the spend to his account) and there was no bank fee involved. One can make also miracles with services like Western Union and MoneyGram, but there the fee is of course pretty big. We'll be accepting MoneyGram soon and will try to fund the account within few hours after receiving the money. There is still one but - not all days are business days and our staff is use to sleep at night :-) The ultimate method would be of course cash to e-gold. Only problem is that even if there would be several millions of e-gold and SR customers, you still wouldn't have enough customers near you to make this business work with profit. > What are your thoughts? Think outside the box. We are talking > about the ultimate system. About thinking outside of the box: let's think why we are here in the first place! Why there is e-gold and SR-gold? Because there wasn't no fast, cheap and reliable way in the world to send money internationally and locally. And that is one of the reasons e-gold was created and now you can send money fast, cheap and reliably to anyone who bothers to open up an account. Here's my thoughts.
