Step 1: Go to E-gold
and click on "Create An Account". Accept the User Agreement by
clicking on the "I Agree" Button.
Step 2: Fill in the needed contact details and information. Most important
is the "Passphrase". Use the "SRK Console"- button
to open up a secure virtual keyboard and enter it with your mouse (prevents
keyloggers and trojans from logging your typing on the keyboard).
Always use the SRK console when you log in to your E-gold
account. It may be time-consuming, but trust me, it's worth it. Especially
if you have high weights of gold in there. Your E-gold number will be
sent to the email adress you have specified. Remember, E-gold never ever
asks for your passphrase. If you recieve emails from what seems to be
egold claiming they need your login information for some reason, delete
it! It's not from E-gold.
Funding your E-gold
Now when you have your account set up, you have to fund your account
with gold in order to be able to make payments. To do this you need to
use an Exchange Service which will convert your money into E-gold. We
recommend the following Three Exchange Services:
ANYGOLDNOW
GOLD-EX
GOLD-TRADER
Both charge around 3-5% for trading in dollars trough a wire transfer.
If you rather like to use your credit card you should be prepared to pay
higher fees. Another option is to convert e-currencies like EVOcash, netpay
and paypal into E-gold.
