-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- JP, Thanks for the thoughtfull reply. I have been lurking on this list for a few weeks, and only just now decided to poke my head out. Anyway, I have been involved with the online gaming industry almost since it began. I have worked developing software for two online casinos, both of which are still in operation. One is doing quite well, one is falling apart, mostly because the owners/operators were crooked and inept. Also, I am not based in the U.S., and do know about licensing and jurisdictions. I have also noticed that online lotteries (with the notable exception of the Lichtenstien one) have not been very successful. I had always assumed it was because of the difficulty of getting money into an account in order to make a $1 purchase. That is why I thought e-gold (or any GBC) might make it easier. Especially as more and more people get access to e-gold. As for financial backing, I have the beginnings of a business plan, and enough interest from potential backers that if I decide to do it, that should not be a problem. Bob p.S. I had also considered 900 and/or 976 number account funding, but unfortunatly that is only available in the U.S., and with the way the current winds are blowing, the U.S. is not a real valid market for this sort of thing... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Hush 2.0 wmAEARECACAFAjth/SgZHGdvbGRsb3R0ZXJ5QGh1c2htYWlsLmNvbQAKCRBcy2rj+8/b 4i8QAKCX2gxspy0fwLD2ctH2mScR6Boe4QCggm6KHyMkILQM8oW8/W3UeOyylBk= =KG8O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Free, secure Web-based email, now OpenPGP compliant - www.hushmail.com --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did you know that the new e-gold Secure Random Keypad can help you to protect your passphrase from both keystroke & mouse- click "sniffing" trojan viruses?
