[e-gold-list] Tara Redesigns

2001-08-03 Thread Tara

Hello

I have just finished updating my site at http://www.tarasvirtualstudio.com
and I have added a raffle for fun, it only costs $1 in e-gold to enter and
every entrant gets a personalised picture from me, the winner each month
gets a full special order complete with Video Clips and 24 High Resolution
800x600 Images.
One member of this list is a great customer and I want to thank him very
much for all his kind words of encouragement and understanding.

Have fun

Tara xx

hi ian,
my theory would be that if one can capture mouse clicks, the location
of the window is not relevant. i wouldn't care about the absolute
location of each click - just the relative distance between clicks,
which i would compute from the coordinates of each click. i think
some of them move the key window around *after each click* which
makes this a little harder - but still not impossible. some spyware
programs capture the click *with an image of the screen under the
click* - thats getting near impossible to defeat without some
external
device.

so we don't advertise SRK as making you trojan proof, but it does
help against most of the common ones and the hardware keystroke
loggers.

thanks for your comments.

[e-gold-list] Re: World's largest bank to write-off $10 billion(!) bad debt

2001-08-03 Thread David Brooks

  Mizuho Holding's Inc, the world's largest financial group, said
Thursday it would dispose of 1,200 billion yen (10 billion dollars) in bad
loans by 2003 as part of a drastic restructuring plan to clean up its
accounts.

  Consider a row of garbage trucks, each holding a million one-yen notes. 
These 1.2 million trucks would stretch over 6300 miles, roughly twice the
width of the United States, say from the San Francisco Mint to the Staton
Island garbage barge pier.  If each truck takes 1 minute to dump it's load
in the barge, it would take just slightly less than two weeks to 'dispose'
of the loans.

 The article about Mizuho continues:
  But concern has been raised at a potential rise in job losses after
companies collapse when banks speed up bad debt write-offs. Some
politicians and economists have suggested the government should step in
and provide funds for the banks to help them execute the clean-up
process.

  Here we have the ideal solution to both problems.  Since dumping the yen
notes will require 1.2 Million garbage trucks AND drivers, the job losses
should be covered in the short term by hiring displaced workers as
temporary drivers and in the long term by building more garbage truck
factories.

  Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

[e-gold-list] Winner(s)

2001-08-03 Thread James M. Ray

Wow! I don't think I can hold it to one winner, either for factual or funny!
(Quick, before more of them respond with good stuff!)

Could Claude, Jeff, Luc, Hankroark, Tril, and David all please send me
your account numbers in a private e-mail? You ALL get a gram (as I
rapidly deplete the promo-gold!). Thanks for helping my imagination, I
especially liked Hank's idea of Dutch-auctioning every cell in my body,
but as for drinking  gold, as Craig (Snowdog) can attest -- surprisingly
enough -- I can't abide the taste of that cinnamon flavored, gold-foil 
containing, overly-sweet liqueur. It's one of the few forms of booze
that are completely safe around me, despite the gold in it!

[e-gold-list] The Golden Raffle is back online!

2001-08-03 Thread Alexis Golzman

The Golden Raffle site is back online, with some improvements:

+ The prize is lower (One ounce). But the odds are 10 times higher!
Because there are 100 bets/players instead of 1000.

+ The raffle is closed on the last day of the month, whether it reached
100 bets or not. If the 100 bets goal isn't reached, the pot will be added
to the next raffle one.

Just place your bet at http://www.goldenraffle.com/play.php and good luck!

[e-gold-list] PayPal Volume vs E-Gold

2001-08-03 Thread SnowDog


http://www.epaynews.com/index.cgi?survey=keywords=paypaloptional=subject=
location=ref=keywordf=viewid=99657416721212015050block=

This article says that PayPal handles 3.5 billion through transactions,
annually, and has 9 million accounts. Note that this breaks down to 9.5
million a day. Note, also, that E-Gold handles between 2 and 3 million a day
with 250,000 accounts. So it looks like E-Gold is doing about 10 TIMES the
volume, per account, as PayPal, and is handling about 1/4 to 1/3 of the
total volume of PayPal.

[e-gold-list] SRK and the National Australia Bank login

2001-08-03 Thread Ian Green

Firstly I'd like to congratulate e-gold on implementing the SRK (Secure
Randomized Keypad) login!

I just noticed another thing about the National Australia Bank login (which
is the one I mentioned not so long ago, from which maybe the SRK idea was
conceived). The image of the keyboard always pops up in a different part of
the screen, so it seems to me that even though the keys are always in the
same place (and therefore easier to click on and to remember one's
password)
it is not susceptible to mouse-click capture. Note: the NAB secure graphic
keypad login is the *only* way to login, so 100 percent (of those using
Internet Banking) must use it.

How is everyone going with the SRK? Do people not bother, because they are
sure they do not have any trojan programs capturing their keystrokes, and
it
is easier to type their passphrase, or do people see it as a positive thing
to instill confidence, but they won't use it anyway, or would people use it
if the keys were not all mixed up, or do you all use it religiously? (Maybe
Jay or James might have a statistic on its use so far?)

 No, i suggesting using select menus for each letter -- which is in

 it.

 Someone (from Australia? I can't remember who) mentioned that a
 banking site in Australia uses a concept (ie, like your SRK) which is
 javascript and I believe it brings up more of an image of a

You are correct, e-Gold has outperformed PayPal in almost all arenas except 
number of customers. Back when Robert Cringe_ly wrote that article touting 
PayPal and  condemning the gold economy, Loryn Jenkins wrote a great 
retaliation that compared e-Gold to PayPal, including the cost of customer 
acquisition, throughput, etc.  It's published at our site
http://www.standardtransactions.com/paypal_is_not_gold.html

and I believe at Gold Economy.
