Here is the exact quote on e-gold from the articles which also mentiones Beenz and technocash but contains links to cybank, cybergold,ecashtechnologies and a few others. Paypal is not mentioned, nor ezcmoney, SR, osgold or any others. Here is the Article: "e-gold:not exactly a gold rush Established in 1996, e-gold www.e-gold.com is a cyber currency that rather than being associated with a bank, is backed by real world gold bullion and other precious metals. Instead of basing its payments system against the US dollar as some others do, the e-gold system is based on the precious metals it has in storage in vaults in London and Dubai. It claims to have more that 208000 active accounts. Subscribers can purchase the metals in various quanitities raning from a few grams to many ounces and spend then with e-gold traders. The gold can be spent either by weight or by its equivalent value in eight major currencies including Australian dollars. While e-gold does not charge for opening an account, it does charge a transaction fee of 1% of the value of transactions under US$50 and a maximum of US50c for every transaction over that. There is also a 1% annum storage charge for looking after your gold, silver or palladium and e-gold traders will charge up to 8.5% for buying and selling e-gold precious metals. More than 20 gold companies, including several that operate within Australia, now trade in e-gold. Other companies, including Digigold www.digigold.net , have developed their own digital currency backed by e-gold reserves."
