[e-gold-list] e-gold customer service?

2001-05-09 Thread Graham Kelly

Gentlemen,
This email is in immediate response to a good customers complaint.
Apparantly, yesterday, after I funded his account, my customer was compromised
by the owner of e-gold account 305107, and the amount of $600 was stolen.
(batch 2569064)

As the President of the Alliance, Doug, Reid, I am asking you to take
immediate action to re-cover Mr Warminski's gold. This action is not
beyond the spirit of g-commerce, but certainly may infringe upon the
policies of e-gold/GSR/Omnipay. If so, and in the interest of the entire
gold economy, let's go with the spirit of the law, and change the offending
policies. Immediately, I require the perpetrators account to be blocked,
and at least the funds in question to be returned to the rightful owner.
Any other action, or non performance, by you guys will signal that you
are aiding and abetting the perpetrators.

Did he make a mistake. Yes. He quite by accident logged into Qgold, or
similar. Strong Customer Service, shown by e-gold, would go down very
nicely, just about NOW. Why is it that OSGOLD are growing by leaps and
bounds? They have STRONG customer service, 18 hour/day online reps, and
good customer protection policies, and they DON'T protect the thieves
and crooks. Gets it everytime...

Doug, Reid, the major reason why I am in the US is to have a meeting
with you about these very same issues. My request for an appointment
7 weeks ago, has obviously been ignored, perhaps overlooked? My phone
number is 310-215-1000. Doug, Reid, call me now, and lets make an appointment.


Incidently, I will remain in the US indefinately, until a meeting is
convened.

Mr. Warminski: Can I suggest you use Standard Reserve or OSGold in future?

 I am going t call Mr. Trotter and demand my funds be returned. I will

 The thing that strikes me as funny, is that I called e-gold at about
 10am PST and told them that my account was not accessible. They changed
 the passphrase right then and there. So tell me? How in the word could
 anybody have gotten into my account at 12:54 when the passphrase was
 changed so that even a hacker could not have accessed it??
 
 
 
 Thanks for your help.

[e-gold-list] ANNOUNCE: 22-23 June - Edinburgh Financial Cryptography Engineering

2001-05-09 Thread Rachel Willmer

Dear all, hope some of you can make it along to this conference. Last year 
saw (among others) Douglas Jackson showing e-gold over a WAP phone, Ian 
Grigg demonstrating the Systemics market for trading currencies in 
real-time and me (Rachel Willmer) demonstrating a Mondex-to-e-gold exchange 
through our CashBox.

This year, we're hoping to unveil the first demonstration of Systemics' 
WebFunds integrated into the Intertrader CashBox, so will probably be 
showing an e-gold-DigiGold-HansaBux exchange.

And there's plenty of other good speakers getting lined up right now too. 
Remember the main rule about this conference is that presenters of Running 
Code (no vapourware please!) get a heavy discount!

Cheers
Rachel

[e-gold-list] cashless society drivel

2001-05-09 Thread Douglas Jackson

The unsigned article Dreams of a cashless society [The Economist,
p.65, May 5th, print version] dismisses e-gold as a virtual currency
used as pay that avoids the tax man. I would have expected a modicum
of critical discernment from the Economist. Electronic payment systems
and especially privately issued currencies will succeed or fail based on
the soundness/coherence of their economic logic and the strength of
their business model. Lumping e-gold in with beenz, flooz and PayPal is
an indication that the writer has not examined issues such as the
loading function or the value proposition embodied in the circulating
liabilities of the various issuers. The point of e-gold is immediate
settlement with extremely low direct costs, non-repudiation, an
efficient automation interface, bi-directionality [fostering an active,
competitive exchange market], combined with zero credit or liquidity
risk. When you are ready to undertake a serious analysis please contact
me.

 I would have expected a modicum
 of critical discernment from the Economist.

I once subscribed to _The Economist_ but did not renew my subscription when
it ran out. I expected it to be a free market-oriented magazine with an
emphasis on sound economic reasoning. To be sure there was some of that, but
mostly I found it to be shockingly left-leaning, credulously accepting of
claims of the supposed benefits of third-party decision-making by government
bureaucrats and highly critical of Americans with our silly ideas about
individual liberty. I suspect that part of the problem is that _good_
economists realize that sound economic policy leaves little for an economist
to do.

I'm not a bit surprised that it gave short shrift to privatized money.

[e-gold-list] Is Goldchanger always on holiday ?

2001-05-09 Thread Mariman Center


Or has he been hit by the Secret Service too ?

One  of  my  Clients  sent  him  some  cash 20  days  ago and is still
waiting his account to be credited.

He sent 2 emails, the first 7 days ago, and is still waiting a reply !

And  so  of  course,  the  client doesn't pay us, as his account isn't
funded !

GREAT, goldchanger !

[e-gold-list] Re: e-gold customer service?

2001-05-09 Thread jpm

It's very difficult stuff, Graham.

It's a great pity that customer was silly enough or unfortunate to 
fall for a simple scam.

But consider - if Jim repudiates this one spend, it could simply mean 
the end of e-gold.  Is that a better or worse outcome?

I have, oh, ten, maybe 15 spends that are spectacularly better 
candidates for repudiatin than that particular one.

If your particular spend was repudiated, but not the dozen I want 
repudiated, I'd litigated Douglas, his family, and then all his 
companies out of all existence.  The smallest problem in anyone's 
universe would be the odd $600.

So, it's very difficult stuff.

Fortunately, my huge pile of books arrived from LAISSEZ FAIRE BOOKS 
in the posts - paid with e-gold.  You get a great LFBooks catalog 
which is worth buying somerthing!

It could still have some value though. I don't have the time (and
I don't subscribe) but it would be neat to track it's articles vs 
the markets to see how good of a contrarian indicator it is.

I heard that at one point it had an article about how oil was going
lower just as oil made an intermediate low and turned around and 
headed higher.

I sure hope nothing has happened to goldchanger!! I got some e-gold 
credited from them about a week ago, with some more due any day now 
(I have to wait for the cheques to clear).

Then again, if your customer sent payment in cash, there's always the 
danger it could be stolen by post office staff.
