Dear Michael, I have some comments.
>The fact that there is a flourishing activity in swapping between gold and >digital currencies between market makers does not indicate a shortage of any >form. In fact it indicates an increase in the movement between digital and >gold currencies only. There is indeed a flourishing activity in such digital currency exchanges. However, I think there may be some misunderstanding. Perhaps there is not a shortage of demand, but there is a problem with the current e-gold structure that is preventing some cambios from bailing in bars of gold into the e-gold system at a reasonable rate. >The statements, overt or covert to the effect that e-gold or any gold >currency is suffering a shortage are entirely false. When you say "shortage", what do you mean? If by that you mean a shortage of demand, then you are correct and there is no such shortage. However, I think some would say there is a shortage in the means to obtain e-gold. It is very hard to obtain e-gold, relative to obtaining other digital gold currencies - for large transactions such as those cambios would perform. Example, I want to bail in a bar to the GoldMoney system. Very easy. I want to bail in a bar to e-gold. Much harder.
