 I've looked at the Omnipay site and I see that they charge 2% to buy
 e-gold, but it doesn't say if they charge for out-exchanges 
 except for the check withdrawal fees and wiring fees. 
 Can someone please tell me?

OmniPay's bid is presently 2% below Spot for e-gold AUG and 3% below Spot for e-gold 
AGG, PTG, and PDG.  Rates are published here:

3.  There is an intersection between the set of GSR Directors and the set of e-gold 
Ltd Directors.

4.  e-gold Ltd totally agrees (see your comments below) that a vibrant, diverse 
exchange market for the currencies it issues is and will always be in its best 
interest.

5.  GSR bootstrapped the worldwide exchange market for the currencies e-gold Ltd 
issues by offering sweetheart deals to those who were willing to hang out their 
shingle and make a market.

Perhaps you could view our recent Spot straddling move as tough love.

:)

Or if all that mushy stuff grosses you out, try this:

When you think of e-gold, think...

AUG

When you think of e-silver, think:

AGG

When you think of e-platinum, think:

PTG

When you think of e-palladium, think:

PDG

Then reread:

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_rate

 I
 never got any response to the issues I raised in my letters.  
 I think e-gold
 needs a vibrant exchange provider network for worldwide 
 coverage and for
 providing a wide variety of ancillary services. 
 I will also say that
 Omnipay's pricing methodology isn't exactly transparent on 
 how many percent
 you are paying on outexchanges unless you work out their 
 rates compared to
 spot with a calculator.

[...]

OmniPay Bid, Ask and Spot are posted here:

http://www.omnipay.net/currentexchange.asp

Applicable rates are also quoted on preview screens (for all types of exchange) prior 
to confirmation, as are OmniPay's precise fulfillment amount expressed in the currency 
units applicable to the fulfillment amount.  And in the unlikely event the User 
doesn't know what calculations to perform on his calculator [:)], we specifically 
provide these on OmniPay preview screens as well.

[Ever since we started straddling Spot - not in response to this post!]

That's pretty transparent!

[e-gold-list] OmniPay Transitional Phase

2002-12-12 Thread Reid Jackson
~
  Create your OmniPay User today at www.omnipay.net!

New OmniPay Features

(deployment early 2003)

We are presently in transition to a feature packed, User based system
featuring:

 - Discounted Exchange Rates 
 - Memorized Payees 
 - Reports of your exchange activity normalized to the currency of your
choice


The Transition
**
(now through early 2003)

Our new system will require e-mail, postal and e-gold account validation
as a prerequisite to access our full complement of exchange services.

e-mail and e-gold validations take only seconds to minutes to accomplish;
however, postal validations move only as fast as the mail. Thus, to avoid
service interruptions to our valued customers, we are delaying full
deployment of our new application to allow you ample time to:

 - Create your OmniPay User (2 minutes)
 - Validate your e-mail address (2 minutes) 
 - Validate your e-gold account(s) (30 seconds per account) 
 - Validate your postal address (your guess is as good as ours :) 

 
Validation Details
**

~~ e-mail validation (already in effect):
Your e-mail address is your OmniPay User name, and is used to communicate
with you regarding your exchanges.

~~ e-gold account validation (already in effect):
OmniPay requires that you prove control of e-gold accounts you use for
InExchange to help us prevent fraud and eliminate fulfillment errors based
on incorrect instructions from you.

~~ Postal mail validation (grace period through end of transitional
phase):
OmniPay will require that you validate your postal address as a matter of
routine due diligence.  Access to our exchange services will be limited
until postal validation has been completed.  In particular, InExchange
will not be available until you have validated your postal adddress.

 
Validation and Lost Passphrase resets
*
For your security, our requirements for resetting a lost passphrase are
very stringent:  You must pay a small fee via a validated e-gold account
and prove that you control both the e-mail and postal mailing address in
your User Profile.  These requirements are already in effect; therefore,
please be sure to keep your User Profile information current at all times!


Validation and Loyalty Discounts

At the conclusion of the transitional phase, we will offer exchange rate
discounts based in part on your previous exchange history with OmniPay
over the past year.  Prove that you control the e-gold accounts you have
used for OmniPay exchanges and enjoy better rates as a result!

Please note:  e-gold accounts can be validated by only one OmniPay User.

 I noticed they bite real good on the exchange in/out?? Is

It's all relative...

OmniPay's Ask is:

2% above Spot for e-gold AUG
3% above Spot for e-silver AGG
3% above Spot for e-platinum PTG
3% above Spot for e-palladium PDG

To the best of my knowledge, these are the most favorable rates available
for e-metal InExchange anywhere, not counting the wholesale rates we
presently extend to some of our customers operating exchange services.

However, OmniPay does presently have an InExchange minimum of USD 1,000.00
equivalent value and we only accept non-repudiable Remittances.

Therefore, if you:

1.  Wish to InExchange a smaller amount,

2.  Prefer to Remit by some means other than wire transfer,

3.  Prefer to Remit a currency OmniPay does not presently accept...

[e-gold-list] Turing challenge and Access Controls

2002-01-08 Thread Reid Jackson-OP

e-gold Ltd. is pleased to announce the deployment of additional security
features benefiting all e-gold Users:

*** Feature1: 

Turing number challenge must be successfully met for e-gold account access
via web or shopping cart interfaces.

Comment:

Turing numbers (in this context) are random numbers presented in a graphical
format that prevents the numbers from being machine readable. 

Benefits:

1.  Foils passphrase guessing attempts by robot programs.
2.  Prevents account level denial of service attempts by robot programs.

User action required:

1.  No action is required by User to implement this security enhancement.
2.  However, we recommend that Users change passphrase to one longer and
more random if warranted (see security links provided below).


*** Feature2: 

Access to e-gold accounts via Automation and Phone interfaces can be
configured via web interface, with a default configuration of disabled. ~

Comment:

Use of Turing numbers is not feasible via automation interface because
Turing numbers can't be machine read.  They are not feasible for the phone
interface because the screen resolution of most phones is inadequate to
support this technology.

Benefits:

1.  Users who do not use automation or phone interfaces can disallow access
to their account(s) via interfaces that do not issue Turing number
challenge.
2.  Users who require access via automation interface can enhance security
by restricting automation access based on IP number.
3.  Users who require access via phone interface can enhance security by
restricting phone access based on phone number.

User action required:

1. No action required if User does not require access via automation or
phone interfaces. ~

2. Users who require access to e-gold accounts via automation and/or phone
interfaces should:

 - Configure access via e-gold web interface (required) ~
 - Change passphrase to one longer and more random (recommended - see
security links provided below)

~ Grace Period
Effective 2002-01-11 12:00 AM GMT (approximately), access restrictions will
be enforced.  Existing automation interface Users
are encouraged to configure automation access to their e-gold accounts
before this grace period has elapsed to prevent access
denials to their applications.

[e-gold-list] e-gold Spends - grams default to replace USD, EUR to be supported

2001-12-20 Thread Reid Jackson-OP

On Sunday December 23, 2001 9:00 AM EST, the e-gold website will experience
downtime in order to implement hardware and software upgrades.  When the
e-gold website emerges from this downtime:

 * e-metal Spends ordered via the e-gold Account Manager interface will be
expressed by default in terms of grams (previous default selection was USD).

 * Users may continue to express e-metal Spends ordered via the e-gold
Account Manager interface in terms of USD (or other National Currency
units), but this selection must be actively made by the User when ordering
Spend.

 * Users will be able to express e-gold Spends in terms of Euro (EUR).

The move to a grams default emphasizes the fact that e-metal balances are
accounted by weight of metal, as specified in the e-gold Account User
Agreement:

http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/terms.htm

Please be careful to take this new default into account when ordering
e-metal Spends via the e-gold Account Manager interface:

e-gold Spends can't be revoked, even if User's instructions are incorrect!

[e-gold-list] Overdue Moderator Post

2001-07-18 Thread Reid Jackson-EG

And now, a few words from your host, owner-e-gold-list.  That would be me,
by the way, for those who were wondering (with good reason) if such a person
even existed.

I don't have a problem with posts concerning:

1.  Other gold backed currencies

Other gold backed currencies have emerged in response to e-gold.  Discussion
pertaining to these currencies is arguably on-topic and of interest to
e-gold Users.

2.  Criticisms of e-gold

Criticism of e-gold is by definition on-topic.  Sometimes such criticism
results in needed change.  Other times the criticism seems to emanate from
trolls.  Although I confess it would be richly satisfying to bounce
trolls, it's a tough call to know when this is appropriate, precisely for
fear of suppressing constructive criticism.  Hence, trolls are permitted to
congregate under the bridge, but are not generally taken seriously by
anybody with a modicum of discernment.

In fact, troll drivel seems to be a tonic for some, inspiring some of the
best e-gold rants I've seen.  All things work together for good on the
e-gold-list.

3.  Advertisements

Advertisements from e-gold accepting businesses are not only welcome, they
are encouraged!  I suggest (see rules) that more than twice a year would be
excessive.  I should have loosened this up a bit ages ago, still it might be
worth noting that if people are expressing annoyance at the mere sound of
your online voice, that perhaps you should kick your self promotion down a
notch or 2 (or 3).  I have to confess that I personally find JP May
extremely entertaining, even when his self promotion mojo is in overdrive
(perhaps especially).  This is the very activity that makes electrons bump
together, one day (soon) to reach a rolling boil.

One exception - advertising is not welcome from high yield investment
programs, prime banks, and other businesses that make promises that are
not possible to keep.  Tiresome debates have raged on in the past about the
rightness or wrongness of these so-called investment opportunities.  Feel
free to peruse the archives for the excruciating details (as opposed to
opening up this topic yet again):

http://www.mail-archive.com/e-gold-list@talk.e-gold.com/
http://www.mail-archive.com/e-gold-list@free-market.net/

I think I don't say much above that is not well known to anybody not
pretending to be asleep.  Actually what follows should not be any big
mystery either.

I do have a problem with posts in/with/containing:

1.  HTML format
2.  e-mail attachments *
3.  Excessive, inconsiderate citations
4.  Off-topic advertising (as in don't accept e-gold)

This is why the list has *rules* which specifically address these areas.
For those who don't recall the rationale for these rules, please see:

http://www.mail-archive.com/e-gold-list@talk.e-gold.com/msg01245.html **

* New improved reasons overdue.  Care to take a wild guess what those might
be?

** I'm sure the consideration I'm displaying in using this citation
technique won't be lost on everybody.

And finally, my personal pet peeve...

6.  Posts which ignore the long standing Golden Rule (yes the pun has
*always* been intended), which states:

--- begin quote

5. Before posting, ask yourself: Is my post likely to be of interest or
value to a broad range of people from  around the world who are
interested in the topic of e-gold?  If in doubt, please don't post.

--- end quote

Of the examples I provide to illustrate this concept (some would say the
very distillation of all moral precepts), attention spans appear to trail
off right before this one:

--- begin quote

* Political stuff.  It could be argued that the very concept of e-gold
is of a libertarian bent, but that is not license to use this list to
get people to write their senators or whatever, no matter how important
you think the cause is

--- end quote

Please pause for a moment of silent introspection to contemplate:  Could he
mean... Moil!?  Chances are the answer is ***OBI!***.  Your views are bound
to come out in the course of discussion - this is not a problem -
protracted, non-e-gold related arguing of the fine points of your political
philosophy are what fester into problems, even for the long suffering.  I'm
not a fan of topic Nazis, but there is a limit, as many of you have made a
point of reminding me (in your own special ways), both on and off-list.

On a related note, did you know that...
the first 3 posts of new subscribers are moderated (ever since the e-gold
list moved in-house)?  This is not generally a topic Nazi type activity.
Rather, I take this opportunity to squelch blatant HYIP shills to prevent
this list from devolving into a [**] forum.  I also squelch those who
choose to delurk with yeah, me to type comments followed by scores of
lines of unnecessary quotes.  This moderation activity is quiet and beyond
discreet - I don't even send offlist e-mail pertaining to it.  After all,
had the offenders read the rules they would have a pretty good inkling of
the reason for the

2001-03-27 Thread Reid Jackson-OP

Effective March 26, 2001, GSR reduced the minimum amount accepted for
OmniPay exchange orders from national currency to e-metal (InExchange) as
follows:

USD  1,000 
AUD  2,000 
GBP  1,000 
CAD  2,000 
DEM  2,000 
FFR  7,000 
YEN  123,000

e-gold Users who wish to exchange amounts less than these minimums are
encouraged to visit the independent market makers listed on the Directory
page at the e-gold website:

http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/links.htm

No minimum is applicable to OmniPay exchanges from e-metal to national
currency (OutExchange); thus, e-gold users may continue to use OmniPay as a

[e-gold-list] Re: Great New Business Opportunity

2001-01-24 Thread Reid Jackson

Glencannon Group Ltd. said on Tuesday, January 23, 2001 5:04 PM:

 I have been informed by the powers that be that my latest and greatest
 business opportunity is not welcome on the list.  I apologize.

I'm the only "powers that be" that I'm aware of on the e-gold-list (I try
not to let it go to my head).  I thought your post was entertaining and even
topical given some of the recent discussion on the list.

Bear in mind use of the string "egoldlist" in one's e-mail address does not
confer ownership rights.  However, it's not likely your critic was
attempting to appear to be such - he probably just uses that address to
receive e-gold-list.

Lest this post be construed as a criticism of [EMAIL PROTECTED], I
should also mention that his opinion is welcome.

 However, it
 was referred to as a "fake scam".  I am not sure what that means.

:)


 I guess only REAL scams are allowed on this list.

[...]

No scam rule as of yet.  I will say that the first 3 posts of new
subscribers are moderated and if they are shilling an "opportunity", their
free expression is generally nipped in the bud.

I will consider making a new rule if the list starts sounding too much like
a [you probably know which URL] forum.  However, for the moment, the
occasional shill is the ideal butt for jokes such as yours.

36 of D on the e-gold forum at Free-market.net can also be pretty
entertaining from time to time, plus I hear she's quite a looker:

Eric Gaither said on Saturday, December 30, 2000 7:34 PM:

 How trusting you must be in this inter-related world. Yes, there is a
 good chance the two are not related, however, due to the volume of money
 e-biz had in e-gold, my thoughts steer to the relation. Did you
 ever see the
 public apology Reid Jackson posted on the e-biz site?

Actually, perhaps *you* are excessively trusting.  I've never posted
anything, let alone an apology, to the e-biz site.

I *did* post to this list on November 28, 2000 regarding recent e-gold web
site performance problems.  A similar document was published on the e-gold
website and linked to from the e-gold homepage.

The version posted to e-gold-list can be located via its web interface:

http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/lists.html

Also available in this public archive:

http://www.mail-archive.com/e-gold-list@talk.e-gold.com/msg00867.html

Somebody apparently posted the text of this document to the e-biz site,
judging by the unsolicted e-mail I've received from e-biz customers.  If
this somebody also modified these words or attempted to make it appear that
I posted to the e-biz site, that would not speak well for their character.
If somebody knows whether or not this is the case, I suppose I'd be mildly
curious.

[e-gold-list] GSR to increase OmniPay InExchange Minimums

2000-12-12 Thread Reid Jackson

Just a reminder...

-Original Message-
From: Reid Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 7:14 PM
To: e-gold-list
Subject: GSR to increase OmniPay InExchange Minimums


Effective December 15, 2000, GSR will no longer accept OmniPay exchange
orders from national currency to e-metal (InExchange) that are less than the
following amounts:

USD   3,000
AUD   5,000
GBP   2,000
CAD   4,000
DEM   6,000
FFR  19,000
YEN 278,000
CHF   4,000

e-gold Users who wish to exchange amounts less than these minimums are
encouraged to visit the independent market makers listed on the Directory
page at the e-gold website:

http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/links.htm

However, no minimum is applicable to OmniPay exchanges from e-metal to
national currency (OutExchange); thus, e-gold users may continue to use
OmniPay as a means to pay entities who do not yet have e-gold accounts (i.e.
to pay the credit card bill).

[e-gold-list] GSR/OmniPay challenges American Express' Platinum-Colored Card

2000-10-11 Thread Reid Jackson

GSR/OmniPay challenges American Express' "Platinum-Colored Card"

Melbourne, Florida, 11 October 2000

GSR/OmniPay ( www.omnipay.net ) announced today it will not abandon its
trademark application for The Real Platinum Card™, despite demands from
American Express, owners of the mark "Platinum Card®". American Express,
threatening legal action under the federal Lanham Act, objects that use of
the mark "may imply to consumers that your card is "real" while American
Express' "Platinum Card" is not."

"A basic purpose of the Lanham Act is to protect consumers against the
likelihood of confusion or mistake in terms of the source of goods or
services… It would appear that American Express' objection is more a concern
that consumers will recognize a difference between the GSR mark and
American Express' marks" relates James F. McKeown, of Evenson, McKeown,
Edwards, and Lenahan, P.L.L.C., a prominent Washington, D.C. patent and
trademark attorney spearheading the campaign for GSR. "The idea that
someone might doubt whether the American Express Platinum Card is a real
card is farfetched. It couldn't be more obvious that the term "real" in the
GSR mark refers to "platinum" because the services are in fact based on
platinum-backed electronic currencies."

The initial release of The Real Platinum Card, scheduled for Q1 2001, will
function as a debit card, enabling cardholders to fund purchases and cash
advances from their e-platinum™ account while the recipient receives payment
in their currency of choice. e-platinum is a privately issued worldwide
electronic currency, 100% backed by platinum, that enables users to use
platinum as money over the internet. e-platinum is one of a group of four
precious metal-backed electronic currencies issued by e-gold Ltd., a Nevis
Corporation, www.e-gold.com. GSR/OmniPay is also working with Standard
Reserve™ to issue The Real Gold Card™, a debit card connected to Standard
Reserve AUG (grams of gold), a new electronic currency convertible gram for
gram into e-gold®. The Real Gold Card is slated for public release at the
upcoming Indian River Summit 18-20 October in Melbourne, Florida.

GSR, Inc. was the original developer of e-gold, e-silver®, e-platinum, and
e-palladium™. GSR's new OmniPay service functions as a hybrid payment
system enabling Users holding any of the e-metal®s to pay recipients who
accept only national currencies.

Douglas Jackson, MD, founder and Chairman of GSR/OmniPay explains "The
point of using the mark "The Real Platinum Card" is precisely to distinguish
it from American Express, whose so-called "Platinum Card" has nothing
whatsoever to do with platinum. For us platinum is a metal, not a mere
marketing metaphor. Perhaps to avoid misleading the public American Express
could call their plastic the "Platinum-Colored Card".

Hi Parker,

 For some reason the stuff I sent to the list yesterday hasn't shown up
 (it's been more than long enough), so here it is again. Hope it doesn't
 repeat.

Checked the log for 10/9/00.  Lyris received 2 messages from you that it
rejected because you were sending from an address that you had not
subscribed.

Follows describes a solution for posting from multiple e-mail addresses:

--- begin quote

Date:  Sun, 27 Aug 2000 21:20:06 -0400

Author:  "Reid Jackson" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject:  subscribing multiple addresses to e-gold-list

Body:  Lyris makes it possible to post from multiple subscribed e-mail
addresses,
while only receiving list mail to one of these subscribed addresses.

Since Majordomo did not support this feature, I customarily manually
approved and resent posts from non-subscribed addresses for people who I
knew to be subscribed under another e-mail address. If I was delayed for
whatever reason in reading my mail, then these posts were correspondingly
delayed in going out to the list.

Since Lyris makes it so much easier on subscribers with multiple e-mail
addresses, I will no longer be forwarding posts from non-subscribed e-mail
addresses. Therefore, please make sure you subscribe all addresses that you
might need to post from, selecting "nomail" status for any that you do not
wish to receive list mail to.

 e-gold doesn't earn interest on anything.  The only profit
 e-gold makes is
 selling the gold for more than they buy it, and a small storage fee.

The e-gold system is designed to be absolutely free of any financial
risk.  There can be no debt or contingent liabilities associated with
e-gold.  For this reason, e-gold Ltd. does not possess any national
currency of any nation and has no bank accounts.  Thus, e-gold Ltd. is
not able to offer currency exchange services. Instead, a growing number
of independent exchange market makers
[http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/links.htm] around the world support
exchange between various national currencies and e-gold, accepting
remittances via credit card, bank wire, check, money order, Western
Union, PayPal, eMoneyMail, and others.
