[e-gold-list] Re: How is this for service!!! Please read
You know...all this storm of controversy that started over my posting the other day really bothered me...even the reaction that I had. So, I decided to check the facts. Here are the facts... I spent $9.90 to the OSOpps in error. I wrote to OSGold about it...not knowing if they could help. In their terms and agreements, as I just discovered, they DO say that they will mediate by contacting the recipient of a spend error one time and do NOT guarantee the results. I guess they did this, as my incorrect spend WAS returned from the account I spent it to in error. I was merely writing because I was so pleased to have my situation resolved at all...let again so quickly...nowadays that just doesn't happen often, and I was impressed. It's as simple as that.

Why does it matter? They evidently could help the lady in one way or another and they did it. I have heard such stories about E-Gold being able to help someone un-do an error even though it obviously was not their problem. But why assume that if they were in fact able to help, whether it was by just dropping an email to their member or by blowing ten bucks in order to make some points, why assume that this was some dark violation of some kind. It gets a little ridiculous sometimes. Tommie --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unfortunately, that story means that OS Gold is super for specific purposes and customers. but it also means OS Gold is not a player as a currency. Just last night i spent THIRTY THOUSAND dollars of gold, to a market maker I was selling wholesale to (you know who you are, you bastard! :) ) Today the price of gold has shot up again. I would LOVE TO revoke that spend, so i could get a better price. But, with e-gold it is not possible to revoke the spend. Thus, if you are into the specific purposes and customers OS Gold is targetted to, I reckon OS Gold is aboslutely perfect for your uses and you should never, ever use e-gold for any reason. >Hi everyone > >I just had to tell you about this! > >I have a private club called International Money Club. >I set up an OsGold account a few weeks ago for the >club.

She said she was trying to send the payment to somebody and ended up sending it to somebody else. Neither one of these people was OSOpps, yet that is where she got the refund from.

There's a fourth way - they could have just eaten the $10 and paid it out to keep a happy customer. - Original Message - From: "Viking Coder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "e-gold Discussion" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 1:29 PM Subject: [e-gold-list] Re: How is this for service!!! > > any way the next day I received another email message telling > > me that it would be refunded to me... > > > > This morning when I looked in my account there was the > > refund > > So, in other words, OSGold has proven that they are a repudiable form of > payment. > > There is only 3 ways that they could have given you a refund. > > 1) Negate the original payment; just like you do with a bank check, or > credit card. > > 2) Leave the original payment intact, and create your refund of thin air. > > 3) Leave the original payment intact, and spend the refund from their own > account. > > > The first option does away non-repudiability.

> any way the next day I received another email message telling > me that it would be refunded to me... > > This morning when I looked in my account there was the > refund So, in other words, OSGold has proven that they are a repudiable form of payment. There is only 3 ways that they could have given you a refund. 1) Negate the original payment; just like you do with a bank check, or credit card. 2) Leave the original payment intact, and create your refund of thin air. 3) Leave the original payment intact, and spend the refund from their own account. The first option does away non-repudiability. Why bother with an instantly-clearing financial system, when at any point in the future the transaction could be reversed if the payer complains enough? The second option does away the 150% backing claim, of which only 50% is metal. The whole claim of backing is shoddy in the first place because there is no method is exchange OSGold for the backing. In effect, OSGold becomes no better than the glorious US dollar. The only thing supporting such a currency is the belief in that currency. As long as nobody questions it's validity, it is valid. The third option does away with their profitiability. They would retain both non-repudiability and a claim of backing, but would soon be running real low on cash after granting all the refund requests.
