Operating an e-gold account

To operate your account go to: https://www.e-gold.com/acct/login.html which should be in your
Bookmarks or Favorites in your browser.
In here type in your new account number, You can either type in your Passphase (not
recommended), copy and paste it from another doc or use the SRK system:
To use the SRK system simply select the SRK icon and a pop up box will appear. Instead of
typing in your Passphase you simply select the characters in the pop up box and the system inserts
your Passphase for you. This is a secure method of preventing anyone from picking up your
Passphase or password from your keystrokes.
Then select the login button and you will be presented with your Information/Configuration
screen:
If you login from a different computer you may get this screen:

You will then need to get the pin number sent to you by e-gold to your designated email address
and enter it in the field provided.
The e-mail will have the following information:
PIN: 262-904
Acct: 1990779
Expires: 3/20/2005 2:58:00 AM GMT
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
--
Explanation:
The security settings on e-gold account 1990779 require new PIN entry
when a change in computer and/or location is detected.
If you did not attempt to login to e-gold account 1990779 at
3/20/2005 2:43:00 AM GMT, this suggests that somebody besides you knows the
passphrase to your e-gold account due to poor security practices on
your part! In that case you should immediately take the following
steps in the following order:
1. Login to your e-gold account
If the one-time PIN is still active (see above), your successful
login will deactivate it.
2. Change the passphrase on your e-gold account
Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keypad (SRK) in case your computer is
infected with a keystroke logger or virus.
3. Read and implement the security recommendations published on the
e-gold website.
Don't put this step off, or you risk compromising your new passphrase
as well!

You will then be taken to your account. The reason for this is to protect your account from
unauthorised access from another computer. More on this in the security chapter.

settings you will be able to login to your account from the same computer each time, The PIN
request will only apply if you log in from another computer.

How to open and use gold currencies

Here are some practical instructions on how to open and operate gold currencies. Each currency
is different so we will take one at a time and I have included some screen shots to guide you step
by step and help you on your way.
The accounts featured will be in order:

GoldMoney
Pecunix
And 1mdc.
1mdc is not a separate currency issuer in fact but a separate account within e-gold which one can
use as a safe area to store gold for a length of time. Specific details will be provided about 1mdc
when we come to use it.
As the oldest and probably the most popular, we will start with e-gold.
