Dear Friends,

It allows you to check your e-gold history from your
desktop and use the same security as e-gold.

Therefore, you provide your e-gold password to some sort of intermediary software? How can that be secure?

 Great thing is that it's quick and you don't
have to squint your eyes to figure out the turing number.

Ever since the Turing number began to have this circular motif, I have found it more difficult to read. My one thought is that it is probably harder to machine read, too.

Wonderful if you just want to quickly check your balance
or see if a payment has been received or gone through.

Less wonderful if you check your balance and find it zero.


It's going at a really low price with free updates for life.
Check it out now before the price goes up.

Yes, that's nice. If someone had a mechanism for getting e-gold passwords, he would make it available at a lower than low price.

P.S. You can get 50% referral commission for every sale
and you don't even need to make a purchase.

Indeed, but you would need to be using your good name to entice other users to potentially compromise their passwords. Offering commissions on sales is a great way to get the software out to a lot more users faster.

I haven't looked at the URL posted. And I won't.

The safe way to check one's e-gold account history is
to go to the e-gold web site:
  http://use.e-gold.com/
and log into your account, making sure that you are
using a secure connection (https:// in the location
window and a padlock in the status bar).  Avoid typing
your password directly - use SRK or copy and paste from
a page where you've typed the alphanumeric character set.
Or encrypt your password without signing it, then copy
this ciphertext to clipboard, have PGP decrypt it, and
paste it to the password window.

I think it is a bad idea to trust any third party software.
If you are competent to program using the e-gold automation
interface, go for it.  If you trust someone else's software,
then after he's sold a few thousand copies, how can you
be sure he isn't going to go through all the accounts and
empty them out?

Remember e-gold spends are irrevocable, and to get your
gold back after it is stolen you have to go get a court
order - which is a tedious and costly process and not
fast.  Good luck making any recovery, ever.

Computing safely is important.  Yes, reading the Turing
number could be easier.  But giving up a lot of useful
security for a little added comfort sounds like a great
way to lose all your gold.

Regards,

Jim
