You can do transfers between webmoney and Pecunix, using http://exchange.net.ua, but it costs you about 3% each way. http://www.wmtransfer.com/ has you create a secret key, (at least in the classic version) which it signs. This enables you to do money transfers and send and receive secret messages concerning those money transfers. Pecunix has a PGP version, which relies on your PGP secret key. Paypal has notoriously terrible security, which they solve by rather arbitrarily confiscating money from accounts that they dim wittedly suspect of engaging in fraudulent transactions. Because webmoney takes security rather seriously, they do not accept credit card transactions, which is a major pain. Nor can you convert paypal to or from other internet moneys. The fact that webmoney takes security so seriously suggests to me that they are honest - but, of course, the fact that they are russian suggests .

RE: WebMoney
Thank you, I didn't realize it was that well-known, it's the first time I heard about it. (It seems I'm unsubscribed from cypherpunks, as I haven't received even my own email.)

Haven't used it personally yet but in Russia it seems to be equally popular as PayPal in the West. This implies that people trust it. The only problem is that when you would like to use it from the West you'd need to find an exchange and most of them are located in Russia and Ukraine. -- Paweł Krawczyk, Kraków, Poland ABA http://www.aba.krakow.pl/ ul.

First, was there a black hole on this list, or am I the only one who isn't receiving any messages? Second, has anyone seen http://www.wmtransfer.com/ ? Ok, it's Russian, so not a lot of trust in there... on the other hand, it DOES mean it's unlikely to bow to US pressure. Any opinion? Thanks, Marcel
