[quote author=“gr00vy0ne”]I am but a mere branch off of Erik’s line….
Hey I just remembered that there was a thing like this for google to see if your links were working or how people got to your pages or something. Anyone know/remember it?
Promo period is over but you can still refer people and earn rewards. They sent me something saying some dude had $20,000 bucks or something from the trial period! Man, he’s got more friends than me.
People easily forget that Paypal started the same way…not FDIC assured either. I already got payments from Greenzap, so it does work. I have no idea if they are selling info or not…all companies seem to, even if they say they don’t.
So far it’s worked for me, but as anything on the net, you need to be a bit careful.
GreenZap is pretty smart, but I don’t like how they do business.
They created something call WebCash, which holds no real value because it’s something GreenZap creates, it’s like printing their own money, except this is not illegal. These WebCash are not tangible, it’s sorta like money you earn in MMORPGs, yet they allow you to buy products from auctions with it. Here’s the problem, not all vendors are going to accept webcash(or atleast I won’t) because simply put, these WebCash bare no real life value. I cannot withdraw them, and why should I sell tangible goods for non-tangible “money”? Sure it can reduce transaction fees or I can buy items from their store for a cheaper price, but don’t forget transaction fees will hardly cost as much as the webcash you’ll eventually accumulate. The items in their stores arn’t the cheapest either, it’s the WebCash that make them look cheap, I would rather hold on to my money and buy something off eBay for an overall cheaper price. Lastly, there’s a big problem for GreenZap too, at first they seem to be able to keep up with the expenses and make a profit from transaction fees and what not, but as more people join they will be giving out alot of WebCash, these will in turn make them earn nothing for transactions, while having to still pay the expenses. GreenZap just doesn’t sound safe in the long run.

As in Demiurge/Archons Gnosticism? What do you mean?
The word gnosticism comes from the Greek word for knowledge, gnosis, referring to the idea that there is special esoteric knowledge, a key to transcendent understanding, that only a few may possess.
The word “Gnosticism” is also applied to many modern sects where only initiates have access to arcana. However, there has always been a great deal of diversity within gnosticism and modern gnostic doctrines sometimes having little to do with ancient Gnosticism.
I was mainly making the connection between the movie “The Matrix” and its Gnostic theme of dualism (the real world vs. the one we supposedly live in).
Sol510 made a similar reference to real money vs. not-so-real money.
That’s all.
I’m a little surprised if my first post went over your head, considering your keen discernment of forum dialect/tonality.
[quote author=“writetovarun”]erik how did you manage to get payments out of greenzap? i dont have much but can i transfer whatever i have into a bank account (uk one)
You can only get payments out that are cash payments, not webcash. I am not sure if you need to be gold or not. I went gold but my bubble status still shows green. I’ve sent tech support and e-mail but they still havent fixed it. And my ebay wont update my feedback in time….grrr.
