Hi, everybody,
you were talking about Western Union and mentioned my "native" payment
system:)
I have some coments.
DS>Something like the scenario below does exist
DS>in Russia and other Russian speaking countries
DS>with WebMoney Internet currency.
Thank you, Dmitry for mentioning our moderate success in this :)
>CVV> I can't see this requiring more than a public computer terminal and
>CVV> minimal computer literacy on the parts of both the customer and the
>CVV> employee of the check cashing place. This could be made even simpler
by
>CVV> the issuance of individual passcards for e-gold accounts, which could
then
>CVV> be swiped at the POS.
However, there is always a problem of trust! Look, what if you come to this
small office,
open e-gold site, enter your acc# and password and make some kind of
transfer...
This is all done on UNKNOWN computer which can easily write down all your
keystrokes,
so it can be used later on by owner of this computer. It's even worse than
surrender your credit
card number toeverybody, because e-gold payments are IRREVERSIBLE. That is
the problem.
DS>WebMoney official site in Russia is --
DS>http://www.webmoney.ru/
Dmitry, you are not comletely informed :) There is also an english version
of this site:\
http://www.wmtransfer.com (actually our system is named WebMoney Transfer)
DS>Individual scratch-off passcards for webmoney accounts
DS>are sold in several online stores and through representatives.
DS>These accounts contain various values up to 100 US dollars.
I would like to add some necessary info: these scratch-cards can be
instantly
debited to any WebMoney account ("purse") just by opening the page on site
and
entering it's number and pin, hidden under the scratch stripe.
DS>Webmoney are used to buy banner impressions,
DS>to pay for remote consulting or web design services,
I would also mention the "digital merchandises" hypermarket
http://www.exaccess.ru (english version is comming soon).
DS>to lend or borrow money on investments exchange,
Thank you, I'm proud you've mentioned my modest efforts, because I happen to
head this exchange -
INternet Direct-access eXchange (INDX) http://www.indx.ru/eng :) By the way,
several e-currencies:
e-gold, goldmoney, srusd and sraug are traded in lots on this exchange as
well as shares in internet-ventures.
DS>The number of webmoney users in Russia is quite large also,
It can be seen as well as turmover in real time on
http://www.wmtransfer.com/systatistics.shtml
page. We think this type of disclosure to be absolutely necessary for all
payment systems.
DS>They can be converted to or from e-gold also,
I have to mention that e-gold is converted INSTANTLY to the exchange
instruments 0.1EGOLD.MTL
and back (fully automated 24/7/365 service) in the Trading system of the
Excahnge https://tradee.indx.ru
(see "e-gold" page in "Assets" section of T/C), these insruments can be
bought and sold futher on
as well as gg (1.0GMONY.MTL) and SRAUG/SRUSD (1.0SRAUG.MTL / 010SRUSD.CUR)
for WebMoney
(clearing currency of the Exchange), however gg input/output is not yet
automated (next monday
is a deadline for this) and Standard Reserve in/out is not automated just
because of the lack of
available interface (I don't understand their policy to hide it from
developers!!!).
Sincerely Yours, Alexander V. Fedotov
