[e-gold-list] Re: What's the stance on Adult Sites

2001-06-19 Thread Viking Coder

 Just out of interest what is E-Gold's stance on Adult Sites and using e-gold
 as payment.

I don't think there would be any problem with it. It might be what e-gold
needs to launched into the mainstream market. I may be wrong, but I think
Jim Ray has been calling for e-gold accepting adult businesses for a
while.


 It is a fact that like it or not the adult industry is a booming one and if
 e-gold is to succeed in becoming more widely used I think this is a very
 good way of doing it

The adult industry has helped bring almost every other innovation to the
mainstream market; internet, videos, photography, even printing...

As I recall, Jim Ray said a couple of years back that he thought the Seven
Deadly Sins (all of them vices, IMO) might be the key to promoting
e-gold--sloth, lust, greed, vanity, and so on. Wrath is one of them, and the
more e-gold grows, the more the banking system will feel my wrath.

I think the HYIPs, and other scams, are certainly doing their part on
promoting greed.

I think they're pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, covetousness, and (my
special favorite) sloth; which means wrath goes in the anger category
and greed belongs in the covetousness slot, I guess.

I'm still personally interested in somehow harnessing sloth. :^)

I have a few ideas on that front, but I'm too lazy to implement them.

I just love to see people with such driving ambition.  Personally, I am a
very big fan of work, it just fascinates me to the point where I could
just sit and watch it all day.

All this talk is all very amusing and interesting but no-one has answered my
question yet. :-)
Does e-gold have a problem with anyone using the e-gold logo on an adult
site for a new account button?
Will a disclaimer along the lines of This site is not owned by or
affiliated to etc, etc suffice to distance e-gold from the site.

Thanks
Geoff

http://xspin.netherweb.com is an adult site and uses the e-gold logo. They
announced their opening on this list recently.

pride: self judgement as good. reward for virtue.

envy: mostly silly, the product of lack of ambition (ambition would say
okay, how to actually *get* it...)

gluttony: fun in moderation.

lust: virtue. very saleable.

anger: virtue, if justified. useful advertising tactic.

greed: virtue. also very saleable.

sloth: can be a virtue, especially in programmers; see the Camel Book.


Jim Ray, you said you want to harness Sloth: here's a suggestion. write
a Perl module for all the things e-gold's external interface can do, one
which handles the web requests using LWP, and upload it to CPAN. oh, we
can do e-gold with a standard module right here, I won't have to
reinvent the wheel says the coder, and uses it in preference to the
competition.
