This is what made the RealGoldLotto unique: it used numbers drawn from the
UK National Lottery. This ensures honesty with the numbers. The only other
thing needed is a published list of numbers selected by customers BEFORE the
drawing. Otherwise, there's no way to ensure that the payouts are correct.
If, however, a lottery had BOTH of these attributes, then there would be no

Here's a guess as to why - it would be my motivation to reach the same
decision:

- if you play an online casino and always lose, you know they're
crooked, you kick up a fuss and drag their name through the mud, such
that they go out of business. Or you shrug and pick a different casino.

- if you play an online lottery and always lose, that's *normal*. No way
of tellng if they're just pocketing the money and pretending. It says
"Joe Blow of Limping Injun, Texas won $10,000 last week" but do you
trust that? I wouldn't.

Well unless you can come up with an angle like Tara's raffle has done.  One 
dollar to play and a free pic for your ticket.  Now if see has it set up to 
send a random pic with each play that would probably increase the number of 
tickets sold.

[e-gold-list] most expensive metals

2001-08-08 Thread Viking Coder

Lipmann Walton & Co. Ltd. ( http://www.lipmann.co.uk/ ) lists the ten most
valuable traded (non-radioactive) metals as:

Rhodium - $54.74/g
Platinum - $16.85/g
Palladium - $16.65/g
Iridium - $13.1/g
Osmium - $12.86/g
Gold - $8.62/g
Ruthenium - $4.4/g
Rhenium - $1.8/g
Germanium - $0.85/g
Gallium - $0.8/g

If you actually wanted to purchase a small lump of thos metals, go to
Goodfellow.

3.4g lump of Rhodium - $1330 ($309.3/g)
http://www.goodfellow.com/scripts/web.wl?MGWLPN=MNT&PROG=HTITEM&token=vtmhkUDjyUMjtdz9YTQm&ITE=RH006100


2g of large grain Iridium powder - $816 ($408/g)
http://www.goodfellow.com/scripts/web.wl?MGWLPN=MNT&PROG=HTITEM&token=OcU6Of3wXTwHSOCr3bc0&ITE=IR006010


2g of Osmium powder - $381 ($190.5/g)
http://www.goodfellow.com/scripts/web.wl?MGWLPN=MNT&PROG=HTITEM&token=XjzVk5XubYawIW2saBHG&ITE=OS006010


100g lump of Rhenium - $840 ($84/g)
http://www.goodfellow.com/scripts/web.wl?MGWLPN=MNT&PROG=HTITEM&token=6IIlSaVyehsAstpWw2jU&ITE=RE006100


5g lump of Lutetium - $1001 ($200/g)
http://www.goodfellow.com/scripts/web.wl?MGWLPN=MNT&PROG=HTITEM&token=6IIlSaVyehsAstpWw2jU&ITE=LU006100



The Iridium price is a little misleading, because 2g of Rhodium powder
will cost you $995 ($497.5/g).

So, Rhodium is the most expensive non-radioactive/available metal.

Tara, for you, a shirt's on the house! :^) (And no, this isn't a scam for
me to get her snailmail address!) Just tell me what size and where in
the keys (or where-ever) to send it. If you get to Key West, you should
go be the southernmost person (on public land, anyway) in the USA,
and then walk back up Duval St. to Alice's La-Te-Da and quaff one of
their awesome drinks, while watching the human-show! Fun!!

For everyone, I'm planning to make up a whole bunch of shirts and
LOWER THE PRICE (you heard right) so please stay tuned, and my
sincere thanks to all you folks like Tara who help me so much! I am
VERY grateful, and I probably don't say it nearly enough.

Ok, this sounds interesting, but I think the best way to decide this one
is to see the actual substance, for sale at an outrageous price per gram
on the web. Given that limitation, and let's give the list 'till Monday at
midnight, what's the most expensive metallic element I could actually
purchase in pure form, assuming I'm silly enough to want a gram of it?

[e-gold-list] Re: Ryan Wins!

2001-08-08 Thread zachmsmith

No, berkleyium wouldn't be the most expensive metal you can buy because
berkleyium doesn't exist.  Berkleium however does.  But perhaps this was a
trick question, a type-o or maybe just a Floriadian accent.  That's just
semantics so you probably won't take this as an answer.  We all know
Florida does things a little different just look at the election process,
so maybe berkleyium is alright down there.

However, I would still say no.

Rhenium is rarer than berkleium and I don't believe rhenium is
radioactive.  I'm not sure the demand of Rhenium is very big, but the
supply is very scare so I think this may be the most valuable per gram.

Nice pic at http://www.direct-action.org/Articles/winner.html, if you were
