I think the difference here is that Randall and J.P. both have a track 
record of building payment systems that work.

Price is important, but there are other things to consider than who the 
lowest bidder is.

Of course, like wine, a lower priced entry CAN be surprisingly good. 
And while I expect IG-PAK is great, Shadowcash is as well.

If you're a Windows user, you could use WinPT, which includes the

I don't know if GnuPG plugs into Outlook/Outlook Express or not, but it 
works well with Mozilla and Netscape through a plugin called Enigmail.

Hope that helps,

[e-gold-list] Interesting analysis

[Steve Foerster]

The real reasons America is invading Iraq
Kenneth Davidson


It would be fatal to America's global strategic ambitions if countries 
in Europe began to ask for euros instead of US dollars for their 
exports, or if China demanded settlement of their accounts with the US 
in yuan instead of US dollars. The US would have to redirect domestic 
demand for imported goods paid for in dollar-denominated IOUs into 
exports to earn yuan and euros to pay for US imports.

It is difficult to see how the US could develop new, internationally
competitive industries and run a military machine on the scale envisaged
by the think tank without a massive increase in taxation and
redistribution of wealth to the productive elements in the economy 
without precipitating a global recession.

In 2000, Saddam's regime had the temerity to demand payment in euros for
the trickle of Iraqi oil the US has allowed onto the international 
market. Iran and Venezuela are following Iraq's example. This is the 
real threat to US hegemony.

In fact, now as an exchange provider you can offer similar disposable

time.  You simply sign up with gold2plastic and put a prominent link on 
your site to a special web address we give you, and we do the rest.  

We even set up things up so that the customer sees your web site's look 
and feel while they're ordering a card, and return them to your site on 
completion -- we don't want to poach your customers.

Our cards are actual Visa cards that work anywhere you see the Visa 
logo: ATMs, stores, restaurants, online, anywhere.  

We don't need the customers name, we just need a gold payment and a 
delivery address.  Your customers' privacy is maintained!

Our cards are issued by a U.S. bank, not an offshore bank that may 
disappear overnight.

You get a commission for every card sold to one of your customers, and 
you even get to set your own commission rate.  There is no maximum value 
your customers can order on one of these cards, which means there's no 
limit to the referral bonuses you can earn!

[e-gold-list] Havenco and 3PGold back up

[Steve Foerster]

Tristan wrote:

You're correct that an issue with Havenco was the cause of our downtime.
Havenco uses British Telecom as their primary connection, and a satellite
connection as their backup connection.  According to Ryan Lackey, CTO of
Havenco, While in the process of switching satellite service providers, they
asked BT to make a supposedly routine change in their BT accountholder name.

BT completely misunderstood this request, disconnected Havenco, and the
issue has been mired in BT bureaucracy ever since.  The satellite connection
has been restored, however, and Havenco and 3PGold are now back up.  We're
evaluating what changes to make as a result of this incident, and apologize
for the inconvenience this has caused.

[e-gold-list] 3PGold has deployed!

[Steve Foerster]

I'm pleased to announce the deployment this afternoon of 3PGold, a new
service from 3PSecure.com, Ltd.  3PGold will allow sovereign investors to
buy and sell gold with the three P's of financial Privacy, asset
Protection, and maximum Profit.  Your gold will be held in allocated
storage in multiple warehouses throughout the world, and we welcome and
encourage physical delivery in increments of one ounce.

3PGold's personnel, records, and database server are all in our office in
the Commonwealth of Dominica, a country in the West Indies with extremely
civilized regulations concerning financial privacy -- your information is
safe with us.  In addition, we'll hold monthly third party audits of our
warehouses and servers so that you can rest assured that your gold is
secure.

We charge a premium from three to five percent on selling gold to you, and
buy gold back from you at the current spot price on demand.  There are no
storage fees with 3PGold.  We currently exclusively accept bank wires as
payment.

3PGold is not a payment system and does not compete with e-gold.  However,
of particular interest to e-gold enthusiasts may be that a 3PGold account
can serve as the backing of a new gold based payment system.  In fact, we
encourage the use of 3PGold for this and will be offering open source gold
based payment system software by the end of the month as a free download
to any interested party.

Please feel free to contact me for more information.

Now that the new server's been up and running properly for a
day -- and now that I've had enough sleep to know that it
wasn't just a dream! -- I've considered the way the
informing the list part of this situation was handled.

In retrospect, J.P., you're right, not cross posting those
updates to this list was pretty boneheaded on my part, and
moreover adding a piece of boneheadedness at exactly the
wrong time.  I apologize for that, and in the future, I'll

make sure to update this central list as well on anticipated
downtime and other critical issues.

I'd still like to invite interested parties to subscribe to
the technical list, however.  I plan to discuss a number of
issues that may interest those affected by the activities of
e-gold and G&SR, I expect chief among which will be
geographic distribution of servers and which technologies
are being used for G&SR's new OmniPay Network system and
e-gold's Ltd.'s new e-gold system.

To join, visit: <http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/lists.html>,

Explanation of the outage and slowness

[Steve Foerster]

First, from all of us at G&SR, let me apologize for the inconveniences
that you have endured as e-gold's technical resources catch up to its
popularity.  In the last few days a large network of e-gold customers
dramatically increased its activity, catching us just a few days before we
complete major hardware and software upgrades.

However, in the next few days we will be moving our database from our
paleolithic dual Pentium II 200MHz clunker to a new HP NetServer LH 6000. 
A comparable upgrade in web server will be made at the same time.


While that alone would eliminate the lingering systemic lethargy, we're
also deploying a maintenance release to the current e-gold system that
will dramatically improve its design.  As many people know, one of the
principle reasons for the issues that have been plaguing us has been that
the design of the original system -- now four years old! -- has
suboptimalities in its code and its database design.  This maintenance
release will take advantage of a number of the current system's
opportunities for improvement.

Please note that this maintenance release is *not* the new e-gold system
that is coming later this year.  That will be a completely new system,
written from scratch and using a different set of technologies.


I've established a new public list called "e-gold-tech" for discussing
this and other aspects of e-gold's use of technology, such as SSL
decryption boxes, geographically distributed servers, and so forth.  To
see this and other lists, please visit .  
If you'd like to respond to this
message, please subscribe to the tech list and do so there, rather than on
this "list" list.

Thanks,

-=Steve=-
