Using Gold Money

As with e-gold you have a menu of items which, in this case are presented down the left side.
Using GoldMoney is so simple we don’t need to go through the screens. By going to
http://goldmoney.com/en/how-it-works.php you can easily see how to operate the account. These
are easy instructions to follow with a step by step guide on buying, selling, getting your holding
statement and much more.
The same principles apply as with e-gold. You select from the menu the activity you wish to
perform and then when the screen comes up you follow the directions exactly.
Logging out of Gold Money is as simple as clicking the Blue Logout button top right of the
screen.
Now to be paid in gold money by another you simply give then your GoldMoney account number
which will have been sent to you by email. Of course you do not give them your Passphase.
It is as simple as that.
Let’s now look at Pecunix.

Pecunix
Pecunix is somewhat different but follows the same basic rules. Select the button to open an
account and fill out your details in the application form. And you will have a Pecunix Account.
The logging in is different again with Pecunix and also very security conscious. First let’s look at
opening a Pecunix Account.
Here is a screen shot of the Pecunix home page at http://pecunix.com/
You can clearly see at the bottom left where to Open a Pecunix account. click that button.

From here you can ‘take a tutorial’, a recommended move. And you can also click the Next Step
button to start the steps to open your Pecunix account.
The following is the User Agreement which you will have to accept in order to continue.
Having accepted that you then go onto the 2nd step of your application. Here you fill out your
password and an email address as I have done below.
One more step to go!

Here you complete filling in your details and then you select the number from the row at the
bottom that corresponds to the number in the blue square to the left and you will be almost there!
The last screen to fill in and you then select with your mouse the number in the row at the bottom
of your screen to correspond with the blue number in the square to your left of that row.
And your account is created!

Now, as with e-gold and GoldMoney, you check your email for your account details which will
look something like this:
Congratulations, you have successfully created your new Pecunix account.
_THIS E-MAIL CONTAINS SENSITIVE INFORMATION, PLEASE KEEP IT SAFE_
Your e-mail address goldcentury@telstra.com is your "account number". Give
this e-mail address to people who wish to pay you with Pecunix.
Here is the PIN number you use to access your Pecunix account. You
should keep this PIN number a secret.
Entry PIN: XXXX
Your PIN and your password can be changed at any time by logging in
to your Pecunix account and clicking on the "Account Details" menu.
There is no need to reply to this message. Simply use the PIN and your
password to log in to the Pecunix website to view your account. If you
had received a payment it will be added to your account balance when you
log in for the first time.
_IMPORTANT SECURITY INFORMATION FOLLOWS, PLEASE READ_
Your password and PIN are valuable secret account access codes and you
should never share them with anyone else. Pecunix will never ask for
your password or PIN. You are responsible to keep them secret and safe.
We recommend that you get a good password safe for your computer
passwords. We highly recommend passwordSafe which is available for free
download at http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net
All communication from Pecunix will be signed with the Pecunix PGP key.

security and privacy. We recommend that you learn how to use PGP with
Pecunix. You can download a free copy of PGP from

Here is your initial Pecunix login screen. This is where you first put your password and then
instead of typing or copy/pasting your 4 digit PIN you simply select from the numbers in the row
in the middle.
Then, again, select a number from the bottom row that corresponds with the number in the blue
square.
Here is where there is a marked difference between e-gold and GoldMoney. The log in process is
going to be quite different and a little more complex. You will need to ensure you understand the
process and do NOT lose your log in information.
This is the screen which will come up when you have entered your log in information.
You will need to write down or make a copy of the Private Identification Keys. They are your
only means of entry into your account and to actually make a payment from the account. Pecunix
is perhaps one of the most secure systems around.
Once you have made a record of them you tick the Saved your PIKs box and then click Continue.

You will be presented with the following screen which is your account screen:
As you can see it will be a balance of zero since you have not funded the account yet. The Menu
on the left enables to you to perform the usual functions as making a payment, getting your
account history, changing your details etc. This is a good time to explore what Pecunix has to
offer. Many merchants use Pecunix as a payments system just as they do with e-gold and
GoldMoney. All sites in addition have lists of some merchants that use their system. To fund the
account click Fund/Cashout in the menu.
This will take you through a screen to another screen which lists exchange providers who deal in
Pecunix.
The use of Pecunix is relatively easy. Although the login is a little more complex than the others,
Pecunix is one of the safest systems around and worth the extra effort.
