Note that the PIK is actually an equivalent (for login purposes) of the e-gold/goldmoney account number which you actually reveal to people who wish to pay you. IOW with non-Pecunix systems, you only have one secret to login with, whereas with Pecunix there are 2 secrets, the PIK and the Password, neither of which you ever need to publish or tell people. If someone caught a glimpse of your PIK it would not be a serious problem, it's unlikely they would remember it ;-) "Patrick Chkoreff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Steal the card, and you've stolen the key. : Same thing goes for Pecunix though.
