[e-gold-list] Re: Opportunities (was Re: GoldPouchExpress fund e-gold account fast by Visa for 13%
GPE does not exept Master Card (Dutch, ABN/AMRO). So, to me, their service is not so great. What they handle (Visa), they handle well. What they don't handle, is opportunity for other market makers. Brilliant statement! Everybody should think like that. Out of curiosity, in your opinion, what would be the best method of funding accounts? Let's assume somebody wanted to develop the ultimate funding system, what would work? Your question provokes us to focus on a major factor inhibiting the growth of e-gold - that there's no common way now to put money into an account fast (as in a matter of minutes instead of hours or more likely, days and weeks). An ironic situation, considering that e-gold is destined for greatness as the currency of the internet. Seems like the solution again rests on establishing a strong linkage between e-gold and traditonal sources of funds. This was the approach used to solve the other half of the equation - the outexchange - where a debit card allows e-gold to be translated into cash dispensed from an ATM. Likewise for the inexchange a special internet account may be required. If such an account is issued by major credit card or financial institutions, or market makers working with such institutions, it already has the advantage of being tied to existing sources of funds. To facilitate instant (even automated) transactions online, the account is protected by a password (just like an e-gold account). To distinguish it from conventional credit card accounts, the internet account should have a low limit (say a maximum of $1000 or a user defined limit). and because of the low limit and password control, be non-reversible (dare we hope it?). Since it is meant for online use only, there is no need to issue a card for this account (why take plastic when there's gold?), but with an online verification system, it can be used to buy e-gold (from market makers) instantly, or any online product for that matter. Of course, with all these features in place, the internet account will also compete for the same business as e-gold, although its service may come at a higher price than e-gold's 50 cents maximum per transaction.

Out of curiosity, in your opinion, what would be the best method of funding accounts? Let's assume somebody wanted to develop the ultimate funding system, what would work? This idea is less direct, maybe even a little sneaky... but more convenient for a consumer. Instead of the potential user send in money, have them send in a good or service or 'win' a simple contest or something. In other words we offer to pay for everything coming our way with e-gold (that we mark up 10% to cover our costs). We sell it as a convenience: "Hey, would you like payment in e-gold, a great system that does this and that. The only bummer is waiting for money to clear to fund an account, and we solve the hassle for you! Oh good, lets just make an account now, and I'll show you the spend feature." JPM's ATM is better though could we do a little white hat hacking ;) That would be really funny. Duhhh, why don't we just get together and buy an ATM company and have e-gold and cash ATM's. Dagnabit, I wish I have more time! jf --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What are your thoughts? Think outside the box. We are talking about the ultimate system. [DeLurking...] What about a 1-900-GET-GOLD funding method. I call the number from the phone I wish to have charged for the call. A recording prompts me for an E-Gold account number. I verify the account number with a yes or no. Then 100 dollars worth of Gold are spent to the account and charged to my phone bill. Done.

Hello! [DeLurking...] What about a 1-900-GET-GOLD funding method. I call the number from the phone I wish to have charged for the call. A recording prompts me for an E-Gold account number. I verify the account number with a yes or no. Then 100 dollars worth of Gold are spent to the account and charged to my phone bill. Done. No disrespect intended, but here's the problem: Mr. Scammer buys $2000 of e-gold with this method. Then, at the end of the month, after he gets his phone bill, he calls the phone company and claims he never made the call. Of course not! No legitimate operation would charge $2000 for a phone call!
