[e-gold-list] Re: Shhh... Here is a big secret!
The best way to protect your privacy against computerised financial records is to change your date of birth. While most names aren't unique, the way They distinguish among the different Ian Greens is the date of birth. ID numbers of one sort or another are secondary to that. Many years ago when I worked for the (then) Department of Social Security, we had a situation where a staff member had exactly the same name as 2 beneficiaries at the same office who had the same date of birth. I think they covertly arranged for them both to come in at the same time to check it was actually 2 different people. Eyebrows were often raised! Not so many years ago when I was applying for some sort of plastic card, I had the amusing experience of leaving the telephone credit company humanoid completely flummoxed. 'How can you have a Diners Club card but not have any credit history!'. She probably lost a lot of sleep over that one, however the answer was simply that when I applied for the card in question I changed my DOB. Middle names are another good one to alter at will, add or omit. --- Send the right message --- + Today freemail + Get your free, private email address at http://www.today.com.au --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.

My understanding is that if an account doesn't have a referrer account defined when it's created, that an account is randomly assigned to it.

[e-gold-list] Re: Analysis of e-gold trends: e-gold transaction volume is down 60% but revenues are up 94%
Ken, I calculated the average daily transactions from the Batch numbers (Batch today - Batch same day at about the same time a week ago) that we have in our own system. That is the reason why I miss some data for early 2001 Months and before that The rest of the calculations were done by adding daily velocity (from Jay's file) into weekly figures and dividing one set of data by the other, so that we could get a clearer picture with Weekly figures (brought back again to daily averages) I'm not quite sure I understand the reasoning behind the 42.5 cents average fee you come up with, but I sure would be interrested in knowing Where does that «figure that 70% of e-gold spends do not have sponsor accounts» come from ?

[e-gold-list] Analysis of e-gold trends: e-gold transaction volume is down 60% but revenues are up 94%
Patrick, Your charts shed some important light on the subject that the transaction volume alone did not show. Where did you obtain the number of spends and other data? The additional information you provided with the average spend size and the number of spends is very enlightening for the following reasons: - Given only the daily transaction volume chart that most of us have been looking at this week it appeared at first glance that e-gold suffered a serious decline in business from June - July of this year. - However, when one looks at the chart of the number of spends per day the usage has actually increased by 80% during the same three month period that the total transaction volume fell by 60%. - Since e-gold's spend fee is capped at US 50 cents, any transaction over $50 creates the same amount of revenue for e-gold. Therefore in order to maximize revenue a business goal for e-gold should be to shoot for an average transaction size of $50. - From June to August of this year the average transaction size fell from $270 to $70. In the same period the number of daily spends more than doubled. (That fact might explain the recent problems the e-gold system has experienced : Server overload. A sign of success.) - It is reasonable to conclude that e-gold's transaction revenue actually increased by 125% from the June low of 10,000 daily transactions to the late August high of 22,500. - Going from the figure that 70% of e-gold spends do not have sponsor accounts, the average revenue e-gold earns from a spend should be about 42.5 cents. - Therefore if August's spend rate is sustained over the next year e-gold will generate about $3.4 million dollars from transaction fees. That is up from about $1.75 million per year generated over the previous 18 months. That is a 94% increase in revenue! In conclusion, e-gold nearly doubled revenues over the past three months while total transaction volumes fell without increasing expenses! That stunt that should put Doug Jackson in the business hall of fame, if he can sustain the trend. On the other side of the fence, Omnipay earns its revenue from exchange volume, not number of transactions. So the increased revenue on the e-gold side of the fence may have been balanced by a corresponding decrease in revenue for Omnipay. However, if e-gold spends continue to increase at the rate they have over the past three months Omnipay should eventually catch back up as total transaction volume starts to rise again. Someone could write a doctoral dissertation on the gold economy. This is a fascinating economic experiment! Find this post enlightening? Click some gold to http://2cw.org/?632050&EG .

Indeed, Credit should go to Jay for the stats (sorry about that) However, the Average Daily Number of Spends having been calculated from Weekly figures (divided by 7), downtimes have not really affected the number of transactions as uncompleted spends most probably got fulfilled a few hours (in most cases maximum one day) later.
