I realize you have explained this at least 10 times, every time it comes up every few months, but I alwasy forget and like hearing it over and over :-)

then hopefully this post is a paroxysm of joy for you JP! ;) : the deduction of the e-gold spend fee is not included in velocity numbers. the distribution of any incentive payments per http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/incentive.htm is not included in velocity numbers. the *only* thing counting as a "spend" in "e-metal spends" is an e-metal spend (aka payment) from one account to another initiated by a user doing one of: a) manually signing into his account and performing a "Spend" b) checking out at a merchant using e-gold SCI c) using phone access to make a spend d) using a program and the e-gold Automation Interface to make a spend those velocity numbers are totals for the amounts users are spending to other users. they do not include any other thing like fees, storage charges, or incentive payments. http://stats.e-gold.com possibly the most informative, accurate and timely economic statistics on earth - possibly the universe!! ;) subscribe: send blank email to dgcchat-join@lists.goldmoney.com unsubscribe: send blank email to dgcchat-leave@lists.goldmoney.com digest: send an email to dgcchat-request@lists.goldmoney.com with "set yourname@yourdomain.com digest=on" in the message body --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@metzdowd.com
