Most processors have a minimum of 30 blocked countries, I'm not aware of any with fewer...

[Rand]

The point is that epassporte is a solution for those countries that are currently being blocked by your processor. Including Epoch.

Epassporte is the solution to accepting orders from countries where it was previously too risky to do so. Now you can still take a Visa transaction instead of trying to use an alternative billing method. Webmasters get paid the same way they do for any other Visa transaciton. No difference.

Exactly Rand, so that makes a minimum of 30 countries right off the bat that sales can now be done in, where they could not before, correct?

I really like the feature where our webmasters can pull there cash out of an ATM without having to send a check out.. who needs paypal.
It will be an added feature to our program and for those webmasters who have a history with us will get realtime payouts.
If you get a join today you can pull it out of an ATM today with your Pornkings Epassport card

I'm looking forward to sending out an Epassport card to all our webmasters.

I'll race you to it

I don't know that every one of those countries were blocked. I could look it up. But, these are countries where a surfer was denied (initially) and accepted an epassporte option so they could get their porn.

Pretty good start for 7 days.... dont'cha think?

Can we say... competitive edge?

I just noticed prepaid Master Card debit cards at my corner 7-11...is the ePassporte more along the lines of this or a Paypal account with debit?

[J B]

Will we need to get an epassporte account/card for every program that pays by epassporte?

I opened an account with epassporte before I saw that FlashCash offers the instant payouts. I then contacted them to ask if they can send the money to our current epassporte account. They said that it's not possible but they have to issue a FlashCash card for us to get payments from them.

Epassporte is a bit of both. But the instant gratification for online purchases is huge. Not to mention the anonymity to the surfer.

Oh yeah... the P2P benefit. And.... it's cheaper to move funds from one person to another.

What else? .... it's globally accepted. And..it gives you a chance to turn all your denials into Visa transactions.

Cool card. Dont'cha think?

I'm not sure what the definitive answer is here. However, a virtual account (if given to you by the sponsor) doesn't cost you anything and it might make sense to have an account for each sponsor for book-keeping purposes. Once a week you could sweep all your funds into one account, where you've opted for the Electron card, and go to the bank and pull out all your dough.

Flashcash has a method to their payment system and I'm sure it makes perfect sense to go along with them. After all, it didn't cost you anything. Right?

Hey Rand,

I had talked to Clay in Vegas about the possibility of transfering money from the Epassporte card to a regular bank account.

What kind of ETA are we looking at for that?
