e-gold and US account holders

    If you have an e-gold account, especially in the USA, you might want to check your account status.

    e-gold is not accepting new accounts. And if you already have one, you may not be able to fund it, or spend or redeem anything you do have in it. Certain states in the USA are not currently allowing spends or buys via e-gold. I know, I'm in one of them. I have money in e-gold and can't sell it, trade it, exchange it, or spend it. Even though I went through all of their identity confirmation steps. When I contacted them they said to wait it out, and if my state doesn't approve, they will deal with it then.
    No time frame as to how long this could take. This from their blog:

    e-gold has approached every US state, and the District of Columbia, with either a license application or a letter requesting a determination as to whether a license is required in that state. Several states have indicated that e-gold should prevent customers from their state from using the system until a determination is made or a license granted. This meant that we had to implement programmatic modifications to selectively restrict access to Spend capabilities on a state-by-state basis. That part is done and deployed but the additional development task introduced some delay.

    Anybody else having these same issues? It's a bummer as I have money in there that I can't do a thing with, not even exchange.

    Temporally Egold doesn't accept new registrations and some states have imposed regulations over their operations. I think they will come back after their problems are solved.

    I thought egold was dead a long time back. Egold is technically functional but in reality its quite useless as no exchanger will touch it.

    This is why the only exchangers still dealing, the Warren Buffets of the e-gold world, are only paying 5% to 15% of it's actual value.
