Surfin' USA

Well well well, the autosurf updates comes thick and fast these days, and of course I have the latest Aut0Surf (with a zero!) and GAP updates (seeing as their the ones I’m in!)

First up, the biggest new is GlobalAdsPro’s latest changes.

Before I get onto that, I was paid promptly once again, and I’ve got a fair bit of faith in them game-wise so I’m going to stick with them despite these changes which limit the short term earning potential a little.

Anyway, the changes are that basically they’ve adopted the increasingly prevalent approach of having current upgrades affect your ability to cashout - it may be troublesome somewhat, but I suppose if the motives are pure it can add to the longevity of the program a huge amount… So as usual there’s pros and cons.

“It is your choice, folks…I either stay in the mailbox, or do payouts…can’t do both and at the moment you seem to only see what you want to see in the update as nobody appears to have noticed this: “PLEASE NOTE: a “more-or-less” approach will be adopted for the next few payout runs”

August 28th expiries are being processed now

IMPORTANT CHANGE:
A lot of work AND thinking has been done this end.
I do hope that not many of you wish to see me dead [as in “dead person” who forgot to eat and sleep] nor dead GAP [as in the admin had no time left for business but to process payouts]. The following is to aide both to stay alive:

1. Effective immediately, in order to receive payouts, your remaining active upgrades will need to add up to AT LEAST 45% of your pending payout.
for example:
your pending payout is $378
your remaining upgrades will need to add up to AT LEAST $$170.10

2. 3rd upgrade option is added - to help you ease into the change and spread yourselves a little.

PLEASE NOTE: a “more-or-less” approach will be adopted for the next few payout runs (so if your remaining upgrades are around the 45% mark, you’ll be fine). However, if you have been doing the $1 thing while awaiting a $1260 payout, you’ll need to change your ways, I’m afraid.

We’ve got a good thing going here and I trust you realise this. I am a rather dedicated person and, like it or not, there must be something right I’ve been doing for the past few years to keep me still around and not burning of shame.

Kind regards to all

Now onto the Aut0Surf updates…

I was paid very promptly by these guys once again, and their updates are a little less news-worthy than GAP’s and much more of an explanatory nature…

“It seems that many people are still finding it hard to work out how much in USD one Gram of gold is.

If you goto Aut0Surf you should see a live chart displayed in the first block of text on the right. The chart shows you the live and current price of Gold that is actually being traded around the globes markets.

As the price of gold fluctuates with changes in exchange rates so does your balance in E-Gold, however the AVERAGE price is approx $20.

You might of seen that your E-Gold balance actually increases and decreases in the USD balance that is shown this is die to the live price changes E-Gold work on.

You can tell what weight of gold you have by logging into your account and viewing the balance, You will see a section called Equiv.Grams, and underneath this a figure. This figure is the weight of gold you have in Grams.

Now for example lets say you have 2.06 Grams of gold in your account and at the time of viewing your balance the price of gold was $20 Per Gram, you would then be displaying a Value (USD) of $41.20.

Example 1

Now imagine that you had no other transactions and the next time you logged into your account your Value(USD) shows $43.45, you might think something is wrong with your e-gold account as you have gained an extra $2.25. Well infact there is nothing wrong with your account, what has actually happened is the price of gold has rose to $21.092 per gram.

Example 2

This of course can go the other way. If you had logged in and found your USD Value was $38.50 you might be alarmed and think that someone has hacked your account. You might be wondering where the difference of $2.70 has gone. Well again, its gone no where, all that has happened is the price of gold has dropped to $18.68. All the time in both example your weight of gold has not changed it has always been 2.06 Grams.

Now imagine the amount of money an sucessful autosurf takes in. This figure can sometime be very large. For this example lets imagine the price of gold is $20 per Gram and the autosurf has 600 grams of Gold. Of course by now you should be able to work out that the USD value of the account would be $12,000.

Exmple 3

As in Example 2, let imagine the price of gold dropped from $20 per gram to $18.68. Now the actual weight would still be the same (600 Grams) but the autosurfs USD value would be $11,208.

This means that a drop in the price of gold has affected the autosurfs USD value by $792. This USD value has just vanished from the account and there is nothing the admin could of done. This $792 might of been your payout!!!!

Summary

The balance shown in your E-Gold account is based on the actual price of Gold per Gram. Everyone who has a e-Gold account has to understand this. The weight of gold you actually owns never changes but the USD value does depending on this price.

By running a program (Aut0Surf) that works on weight (grams) prevents any sudden change in the price of gold from affecting the program. This means the program is more stable and in a far better finacial position.

Please read the following post made by one of my members,

Hope this clears up alot of the concerns.

I have noticed a lot of people still not really understanding the grams concept, or even E-Gold itself… So hopefully this’ll help a few of the more befuddled members!

Ciao y’all.
