What is e-gold (egold) ?
To
transfer payments from Paid to Read or Paid to post sites you would
need a payment processor that you can use to transfer funds. We use
egold and Alertpay. Almost all Paid to Read sites accept egold, paypal
and some Alertpay as well.
Quote... "E-gold is an electronic currency, issued by a Nevis
corporation, 100% backed at all times by gold bullion in allocated
storage. e-gold is integrated into an account based payment system that
empowers people to use gold as money. Specifically, the e-gold
payment system enables people to Spend specified weights of gold to
other e-gold accounts. Only the ownership changes - the gold in
the treasury grade vault stays put"
"The world wide web needs world wide money. e-gold was created in
response to this need.
e-gold is accounted by weight of metal, not US$ or any other national
currency unit. Weight units have a precise, invariable,
internationally recognized definition. Additionally, precious
metals, gold in particular, enjoy a long history of monetary use around
the world. Thus, e-gold is ideally suited for international
transactions. Although e-gold is accounted by weight, the e-gold
payment system allows Spends to be expressed in terms of eight major
national currencies (as of this writing).
... This means (for example) that a Canadian can pay a German or a
Japanese can pay an Australian the correct weight of gold (e-gold) for
a good or service as easily as if the price had been quoted in his own
national currency."
So simply put egold allows you to accept and send payment to anyone in
the
world without the constraints of their national currency. You can pay
or
get paid in terms of gold weight and that can be converted to any
currency in the world using third party payment processors or exchange
service companies.
How does e-gold work ?
To use e-gold you will simply open
up an egold account. You can open an egold account by clicking here
or by
following the
links at the bottom of this page. Once you have your account setup you
need to fund your account if you want to pay someone. To get paid you
simply need to provide your e-gold account number when you register
with any site like get paid
to read or paid
to post. To fund your
account you use third party exchange agents/companies. Exchange agent
charge from 3%- 5% fees and will fund your egold account or will allow
you to withdraw money into your national bank account. There are
approved exchange companies listed on egold site. Be careful when
funding
through third party money exchange and make sure to only use approved
payment processors due to high level of fraud involved. The best option
is to use those that egold suggests.
How to get money from e-gold Account ?
To receive a payment from any
website
that supports egold, all you
need to do is specify your egold account number in account setup and
once
you reach their minimum payout level your egold account would be
credited. Next, you can use the services of exchange agents/ companies
to get that money
into your own country's bank account.
There comes a little hurdle if you are in some asian countries and want
to withdraw money from egold or other digital gold currencies into
your local country currency. Because there are limited choice for doing
so you have to look at all the options avialable to you, so you can
get/withdraw money using the best possible option.
To get money tranferred to your
country's currency, you need third party exchange service/agents who
will accept money from your egold account and give you money via say
Western Union transfer or through other means. Your best bet in such
case is to contact companies who are willing to exchange money for you.
Register and do some research and ask question on well known forums
like TalkGold
and GoldAge.
They can recommend you exchange agents, but
be careful not to trust just anyone. Do extensive research, ask other
members to find the
reliable exchanger.
Which e-gold Agent/company to use ?
Basically you can use any company of your choice listed on egold
website.
These are merchants on egold website. We have used
The Bullion Exchange
and
London
Exchange. In any case, you should do your own research and also
check e-gold website
to find the best exchange company that suits you and which
accepts/allows money transfer to your country. There are many
factors when selecting a money exchanger. These can be your
location/country, exchanger
money transfer fees, minimum transfer allowed, means of transfer
(check, direct back deposit, money order etc).
