I owe JP an apology and would like to make it clear to the list that I did
in fact misrepresent his opinion. What I was thinking of was his recent
comment to the list that "HYIPs dwarf everything else in ERE activity,"
which I misremembered as an assertion that HYIPs dwarf everything else in
*all* e-gold transaction activity. Those are two very different statements
of course.

JP is quite correct: what he told me on the phone about HYIPs' share of
the total e-gold transaction universe was that he reckoned it at "about
half."

Right, which was why I paired it with another market maker's guess of
about 60%, and came up with a working estimate of 75%. Toss in JP's ~50%,
and we're down to 66%. Looking better!
