e-gold is currently in the process of implementing upgrades to its Customer Identification Program (CIP). Until these upgrades are fully deployed, all Spend activity is currently prevented. e-gold anticipates the duration of this service outage to be brief, and an update will be posted on the e-gold blog when this system wide service outage has been lifted. Thank you for using e-gold.

I'm about to pay a premium account at another site when i saw that.

i dont understand how that works

1 [e-gold unit] is worth how many dollars?

you should be careful of e-gold. typically recessions are accompanied with currencies getting stronger, since spending becomes weaker and everyone is trying to make everything cheaper to improve their sales

yeah for now i can't make much of the money i have there so im on a spending spree using e-gold, will wait till this upgrade issues are over and will spend the money.

before i don't have paypal with all it's features enabled in my country so im using e-gold and exchange it on stormpay.

E-gold is a good idea but seriously you can't cash out the gold.

i wouldnt want to convert dollars to "e-gold" if you can't reverse that and convert "e-gold" to dollars. how many known, reputable, merchants accept that as payment anyways? and does e-gold give you the option of writing checks, so you can make payments in person? what about an e-gold debit card?

im not converting dollars to e-gold
i just got some payment from there from e-gold ppc's

mostly if you have reached U.S.$1000 worth of gold in e-gold you can exchange it from exchange services.
