I'm not exactly sure what you mean there. Someone had said "AH HA!
there is no SPECIFIC! MEDIUM! to reach people who use US Dollars".
That statement is incorrect, since, 100% of people use US Dollars,
so, any medium works.
Is there a medium which reaches "US Dollar users" - Yes.
Is there a medium which reaches "e-gold users" - No.

*If* there was such a syndicate, *and* it was very perfectly and
excellently organized and covered all MMs, you might be able to get
say 1/4 of thethe 50k reward, for pointing out something that is a
dismal second best.
Here's a question for you:
"Is there such a syndicate?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No "

Surprisingly ----- I don't think that's true, Sam.
I have never used a market maker and I deal in kilos of gold every
month in and out. None of the blokes who work for me have ever used
a market maker (except to get rid of gold! :) ). Jim Ray has never
bought gold from a market maker, nor any of the other egold employees
who are paid in gold.
I'm sure your're right that it's a MODEST fraction, but not TINY.
Anyway, getting back to the point:
As I said, It utterly agree with you that advertising on MMs pages is
a reasonably good dismal-second idea, BUT, in PRACTICE, tell me,
state, how to organize to consistently advertise on their pages.
perhaps your answer is "Ah ha! JP, you joker, you have not heard of
the MMAdBannerSyndicateReadyToGoNow.com", in which case I would
happily send you the 50kilos.

^^
that's cheating. Advertising on ONE MM's page is shit.
What would work though (again, remembering its only a dismal second place) is:
>I already did. Advertise on a {every} market-maker's page {in a very

Use your keyboard and tell me how to do that, I'll send over the 50k,
no worries!

Tell me how you know that a large percentage of people who frequently
spend gold, go to, those sites.
