What is it with you.
Could you first explain why you think it is a scam baring in mind you stated in your other thread that you don't know anything about e-Currency?
As I mentioned before, maybe you should research it a bit first as you obviously haven't been introduced to the e-Currency area of the Internet yet.
http://www.dynamic-xchange.com/Gold_Currencies.pdf
I have been a DXMerchant for almost two years now, and know others who have been doing it for over 5 years. DXInOne has over 25,000 DXUsers and has been operational for almost 6 years. The website you have listed is mine and it has helped train over 200 people since it's inception and is extremly popular within the DXCommunity so I would be very greatful if you could elaborate on why you deem it a scam, or indeed in your other thread, a pyramid scheme as I find that rather baffling.

After a brief look, I'd say it falls under the "too good to be true" category which would mean I woudn't bother to look any further and would write it off without further investigation.

As I have already said, I have checked this in the most sensible way possible. That means I have not simply followed the links on your site (which I have done) but have also checked it with independent sources: LexisNexis and the FT. I have also asked the opinion of an editor for a stable of global finance magazines and someone who works in the international finance section of a major UK bank.
The publications have come back with zilch. The experts I asked said "looks like a scam".

This is my very first website, made it myself so I can understand why you say that. I have only just finished uni and am new to Internet Marketing and websites of that nature, all takes time, my site is by no means the finished article and I am learning how to improve it daliy.
e-trading is very reputable and great money can be made. As I said, I have been doing it almost two years now and my accounts can be seen here:

That might be because you are looking in the wrong places. What has International or Global Finance got to do with e-Currency? You are better off searching for articles on Online Currency or e-Currency.

There is a difference between this and e-trading. All of these pseudo currencies (IntGold, e-Bullion, etc) seem to focus on their similarity to PayPal. PayPal is not an alternative currency, it is a method of payment using actual currency.
e-Gold is like buying unregulated money or coupons with which you can buy a limited number of things.

You call five mins of searching research? You haven't come back to me with anything besides my mate said this, or my mate said that. I think you need to dig a little deeper if you want to justify your comments and label this business a scam.
Maybe visit www.dx4all.com and look around the forum instead of asking a mate who doesn't know anything either what he thinks, and just because you work at a bank or manage global investments doesn't mean you should have heard of e-Currency Trading or operating a MBS.

My sentiment exactly, and it is sites like mine and www.dx4all.com which are trying to help people to understand this business and educate them before they take their first step so they know what they are getting involved with. It is not a GRQ scam but a business which takes time to learn and understand thats why five mins of searching isn't exactly going to clue you in much.

There are a lot of people/sites trying to train DXMerchants and make this business more generally accepted, hence all the various training courses for this business. There are hundreds of training packages, as there are with forex but I only have the best three listed having reviewed dozens of others. It's like with any business, there are those who try to make a quick buck, or there are those that try to guide and help people and bring this business to their attention. I'm the latter having trained over 200 people and also having worked with Dave Bennett and Matthew Glandfield who are two of the top people in this business.

Dynamic,
How do you make money? Are you saying you buy one type of currency for one price and sell it for more.
No. There are several different areas from which you can earn money within the DXSystem, see website here: http://www.dxinone.com
DXInOne are creating an DXEconomy by which they are providing a whole suite of business services under one global roof via a central currency, that being DXG. Businesses and individuals alike InXchange funds in order to utilise the various services available to them and we, as DXUsers can earn from this via two ways, passively (DXPortfolio) or actively (DXMerchant).
A good description of active trading can be found here:
http://www.dynamic-xchange.com/why-trade-online-currency.php
and here is a good article about why people use e-Currency:

Is that how you judge a scam, lol.
In essence we as DXMerchant Market-Makers create a liquid economy via which businesses and individuals can InXchange, and OutXchange funds from the DXSystem so that they can make, or receive, payments from the DXServices they use, and in the process of facilitating those Xchanges, we are paid commission.
That is a drastically simplified answer.

I have looked at the webpage, its does not get to the point and waffles. Classic sign of a scam. I have been in the web business since 97. The company I founded operated in 15 countries. We never required this type of service. You have probably heard of the company www.askalix.com or as it recently acquired its early rival www.scoot.com. Looks like a scam to me. Why cant you just state how the money is made

I would assume it is a scam from the first two sentences and not read any futher. The intro
'What if I told you that you could work from home and make $500 or more a day?
What if I told you that it only takes about 30 mins to one hour of your time every day? '
is exactly the one that appears at the top of every scam. I wouldn't go past that first part.

I just did. We as Market-Makers hold funds in various e-Currencies to help facilitate the various InXchanges, OutXchanges are receive commission for doing so.
You say you haven't required such services that DXInOne offer.
Do you require a Business Account (DXBusiness)
Do you advertise? (adsXposed)
Do you accept payments? (DXGlobal Payment Console)
Do you sell products via Auctions (DXAuctions)
Thats just to name a few DXServices.

So basically you charge people money for exchanging funds.
The currencies work as: Person A wants to buy from Person B so A changes their money to eGold and B withdraws the money into cash for a transfer fee that is less than the bank (theoretically).
Your business is about charging fees to people who want to change eGold for a different type of e-currency. That may not be a scam as such, but it is much more risky than people think because the underlying "economy" that it is based on is very dodgy.
Problem is that the very currencies are ********. Even dressed in a potted history of gold it doesn;t disguise the fact that there are serious flaws in the system...
1. eCurrencies are unregulated by the FSA (unlike PayPal) and so people have no real redress
2. The currencies are not universally accepted and respectibly traded so you cannot go to the bank and say "swap my egold for sterling"
3. Gold is not a good medium for storing value. That is why the world ditched the Gold Standard as a means of ensuring financial stability.
4. Do you pay interest? If not then people are losing money already by using the currencies.
As I mentioned before, your scheme may not be a scam in your eyes, but to me it does. You asked me to explain why I though it was a pyramid scheme? The reason is that it requires more people all the time to get into it and fund the benefits of those who have gone before, but it doesn't actually generate any value at all.

So how long have you been doing this then?
I have been a DXMerchant for two years now, but there are many who have been doing it for 5 or 6 years. I can appreciate your opinion as I come across it every single day for the last two years as this is an emerging sector of e-commerce and a lot of people don't understand or grasp it at first because it is new and there's not much information around to help form an educated opinion, that is why a number of DXMerchant such as myself have put ourself up for ridicule or shouts of scam in an effort to put the word out and make people more aware of this business as excellent money is being made, and we don't need more and more people to feed it as you mentioned for your pyramid scheme theory as we are merely processing businesses and individuals Xchange requests for the DXServices they wish to use and DXInOne actually stopped letting people becoming DXMerchants because they wanted to make sure the DXSystem and the DXServices were ready before release and a scam or ponzis would not stop taking money if it didn't need to, DXInOne is a business, and we as DXUsers are effectively employees of the system who provide funds to facilitate Xchanges that are requested. We don't need any more DXUsers, we could stop today and continue quite happily, but obviously as DXInOne becomes more and more popular, there will be more and more exchanges that need completing and more DXMerchants would be required to provide an efficient, quick service. DXInOne can't be a scam because they never actually have your money, it is all in your control in your online accounts, they just provide the system and the services, but we help to keep them fluid.

As I said in my last post there is simply no requirement to exchange these funds. Any company trading as we did in 15 countries will have multiple curency accounts.

DXInOne is growing in popularity daily and I am constantly changing my site to make it more and more appealing to people who want to know more about DXInOne and what we do as DXMerchants. My site isn't bad for a first attempt but it will get better as DXInOne gets more generally accepted and I can lay my hands on more and more useful training resources for this business.

Somebody tried to set up something similar in the UK called Beenz. Was meant to be a new online currency and a few retailers started accepting it. Went bust in the end cos, unlike national currencies, Beenz continually deteriorated in value. Furthermore the transaction costs were actually higher than for real money. As Cjay says, most of the time you don't spend enough money on forex as a business to justify an alternative currency.
The currencies make no sense at all to me. From both a bottom-line view and a theoretical perspective they are seriously flawed. And the very idea of putting £5K into an unregulated organisation's bank seems mental.
Getting more people to join the trading part seems like the only viable way of getting people to inject real funds into this circular operation. Then they feel that they need to start using the currency in order to support the system. The irony is that they are probably making it worse. Better to just stick the cash under your mattress.

Hi Dave,
My comments on the percentages are founded on my past experience of running a dot com business in 15 countries. We dealt in currency every week. Indeed the business had 2 million dollars in debt finance from one of our shareholders and we had to hedge that liability on a daily basis. You would not pay 5% to borrow the money never mind trade money that is yours.

I already explained why my site is presented that way. The more DXMerchants there are to facilitate and process the Xchanges that enter the DXSystem, the more fluid and efficient the system becomes and more Xchanges, and thus business clients can be catered for. It is that simple.
A lot of people are in the process of doing what you have just mentioned and setting up DXGlobal Companies so they can have operators processing the Xchanges for them with their trading funds. I'm looking into this but am quiet content doing it myself at this moment in time and don't see the need to complicate things by adding payrolls and staff into the equation. Maybe something for the coming years perhaps.
Where did I say I wasn't building up my business to reap the profits. I am constantly increasing my DXPortfolio and thus my liquid trading funds everyday so surely that would constitute building up my business. Those figures are only ridiculous because most people can't comprehend earning an amount two or three times what they currenctly earn. I think what Premiership footballers earn is riduculous but that doesn't mean I should just dismiss it as nonesense.
The person who trained me has trained thousands of DXMerchants in the time he's been involved in DXInOne and is one of the top names in the business. As this area is fairly new there are only a few big name players and everyone tend to gravitate towards them for advice and guidance, thus there are only a handful of trainers such as myself who help the newbies.

I actually started learning this business three years ago but I decided to take my time and look into it further, speak to a few people who had been doing it for a while and then I took it up and have never looked back. Since I have been a DXMerchant DXInOne has grown and improved massively and the full suite of DXServices they have been developing over the last three years are amost all released. Before people make anymore uneducated comments why not sign up for a free account and take a look at the DXSystem, maybe read some of the tutorials for more information so you atleast have some sort of clue to back up what you say as I fear the vast majority haven't even got a firm understanding of e-Currency let alone the DXSystem and DXMerchant side of this business.

The facts here are plain to see.
There is no requirement to trade any kind of e-cash.
If there was a 5% charge to do so would make it pointless. Many businesses have a net margin of only 5%.
My current business is based in Gibraltar, we trade in Sterling but can accept payments in many currencies via credit cards. There is no charge to us for accepting payment from a dollar based credit card for example. We just get the Sterling amount we charged on the site.
Dave you are making your observations with no research or knowledge of the subject. I am making mine against a real knowledge of multi currency trading.
Anyway there appears to 3 out 9 people here who think this is a good opportunity and they a free to give it a go. Good luck to them. The people who don't have made their contribution, which of course can be ignored.

There is no requirement to trade any kind of e-cash.
There is a massive requirement to move between different types of e-Currency but that is not the main aspect of this DXSystem and it is free for businesses or individuals to InXchange their funds into the DXSystem in order to pay for the various services on offer. You should do a bit of research about the popularity of e-Gold, e-Bullion and NetPay and you will notice that millions of people use them daily to purchase various products around the globe. The neccessity occurs when one individual has funds held in one type but the product they wish to purchase is held in another type, therefore a swap over exchange is required, similar to that of when you need to change one type for another when going on holiday and paying a commission.
However, this is not the service businesses use within the DXSystem. They tend to use adsXposed, the DXGPC and the DXGlobal Company set up, you might do well to read some of the tutorials and info provided at the site

DXInOne is no different, they have the DXGPC through which businesses can collect payments free of charge.

If you can really tell if a business will work and if people will pay for a service you would be a billionaire over night and would be the worlds best investor.
If this is not the case why not just wish the man good luck and leave him alone?
PS People use the net for many different things and even in similar areas you get specialist i.e. just because we spend a lot on PPC does not make me an affiliate guru. Both are advertising, both are web based, both require different skills and 5 years knowledge in 1 area doe not make me an expert in another.
PPS good luck with yours and I hope that everyone does no say your venture will not work because that is never good for business.
PPPS On the forum we try to help people and be positive not tell them they have no chance.

Thanks Dave. It has been working for 6 years so I guess the proof is in the pudding and maybe if some people do a little more research in this area they could maybe contribute to the coversation with an educated opinion. Keep your ears open for DXInOne in the next few years and maybe I can come back here and say I told you so.

Given the contention evident in this debate, I thought I'd spend a little time looking into the issue. Of course, 30 minutes of study can be nothing other than superficial, but a number of questions do come to mind.
1) Why is the company registered in Vanuatu? Most people have probably never heard of the place; it's hardly a world centre for commerce. Why is the company not based in the UK, or Europe, or the US?
2) The whole area of financial transactions is highly regulated. This makes me nervous because I'm sure the company must be subject to currency regulations. How is this addressed?
3) When describing benefits to the end user, the website emphasises no transaction fees, etc. When encouraging individuals to work for the company, the examples claim that 10 percent can be made per transaction. These and other inconsistencies cast suspicion on the business model.
4) The website doesn't help itself. There are so many statements about this not being a GRQ scheme, yet I can make my fortune by working an hour a day (i.e., this is a GRQ scheme!).
5) I'm not sure why you are publicising the company at this forum. Maybe you're just altruistic or just passionate about the idea. It's not clear to me.
I don't doubt that many people have made money from this program, although I suspect the annual income numbers are in the thousands of pounds and not the hundreds of thousands. It's very ambitious to try to outdo all other methods of currency exchange and to become a de facto standard. Personally, I suspect that regulation will kill it first, but every entrepreneur must have his/her dream.
If it's legal and if you're earning a living wage, good luck to you. My recommendation would be to create a more professional website - without the outrageous claims and the spelling/grammatical errors. If you want the system to become a mainstream method of currency exchange, then create a site designed for financial professionals.

1) The reason the company is registered in Vanuatu can be found here:
http://www.dxinone.com/DXBusiness/DXGlobalCompany/DXGlobalCompany.Overview.asp?DXAction=0
and DXInOne are indeed setting up global LDXMerchant offices this year and next, most notably in UK, Germany, USA and Australia. You have to keep in mind we are taking about e-commerce, not commerce so it doesn't really matter where you are based!
2) At this present time being located in Vanuatu it does not fall under any regulations but it has implemented several requirements from us keeping in line with the Patriot Act and creating offices in the USA and Europe it is going to be strictly regulated thus we are going to be granted MBS licences in the very near future.
3 & 4) That is just my personal website so has no reflection on DXInOne itself, I have just explained the part of the business that is most questioned and the reason I mention the GRQ so much is because that is the impression people get so I try to explain it. I'm new to creating websites and Internet Marketing and as I mentioned in one of my other posts, I am indeed moving towards creating a more professional website now that I have finished uni and can dedicate more time to it. My website is more of a teaching/training site at the moment, the first few pages just give people a general idea of one element of this business. The DXInOne site is extremly professional. www.dxinone.vu
5) I wasn't publicising my site at this forum, I was drawn into it by someone else, I am at this forum to learn as I don't know anyone who is business oreintated so I am learning myself from other peoples posts and experience, and also how to present this as a professional business oppotunity to others.
I came here to look for advice quietly while browsing the forums so that I could mold this business and my website into a more professional, presentable opportunity. I didn't quiet expect to get jumped on and attacked by certain members. Thanks for your advice.

Dave,
I did not "speak to a few mates". I checked with people that I know but that also happen to be a) very experienced in global finance and b) aware of new trends in financial markets. That they are friends simply made it easy for me to check with them. I also trawled the extensive LexisNexis news and business system (which, in case you don't know, compiles news and business and financial data from around the world).
If DX can make a good living out of this then I say good luck to him - makes no difference to me.
The argument was started because I made a sarcastic comment about the ridiculous claims made on the dynamic exchange site (which have now been removed I see - so I have done this fella some good in that if nothing else).
Hope that clarifies things a little. My position is obviously clear, but please be assured that this is not a knee-jerk reaction.

Of course it was a knee jerk reaction. 1.58pm you started this thread, by 2.06pm you had done all your indepth research and spoken to your mates, lol. How can you check with your mates if you don't understand it yourself and therefore can't explain it. It was quiet obvious you didn't even know much about e-Currencies to start off with, let alone form an educated opinion on it. As I mentioned before, just because someone works at a bank or investment company doesn't mean they know everything about the e-Currency market does it? Especially baring in mind DXInOne isn't even mainstream yet and haven't embarked on an advertising campaign to date. They are still releasing the final DXServices before their official launch, maybe then you will pick up some thing from the mainstream LexisNexis network.

If you look beyong the emotion in this message thread, it's clear that you have received a lot of useful feedback. More than anything, your website needs to prove this is a credible and viable business. That means more professional copy and more realistic claims. I'd highlight at your site the forum to which you referred earlier; an open community that takes and addresses criticism will help you establish credibility.
All credit to you for hanging in there despite some harsh words from others. It proves that you believe in your venture and want to improve. Personally, I'm not convinced - but I'm keeping an open mind.

I'm afraid you are mistaken again. You are probably referring to GoDaddy registration details, maybe ask you mates to do some more quick research for you.
I gather you are referring to these details:
http://www.whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=dynamic-xchange.com
http://www.whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=dxinone.com
These actually mean next to nothing, it is just the registration agent.
DXInOne have actually wisely registered a large number of similar domain names and the main registration details are under this one:

I'm not getting angry. It just kinda snowballed. I said something, DX came back asking me to justify it, so I did. This is not an emotional thing for me - I just don't believe the business is genuine.
@DX...
Admittedly there was a knee jerk reaction to your claim that anyone could earn $500 for half an hour's work. What's wrong with that? Healthy suspicion has kept me from loosing my shirt to claims like that I receive through my inbox every day.
Contrary to what you claim there is nothing particularly original or new about e-currencies. As cjay has been helpfully pointing out, what exactly is different or better about these spurious, unregulated tokens when compared to national, regulated currencies?
There is no malice intended towards you personally, but you did ask me to justify my comments and so I have tried my best to.

There's nothing wrong with that, don't worry, I don't take it personally, I just like to understand how people come to form an opinion so quickly when not knowing much about it. I did explain on my site that I have reached this level after starting over two years ago and also stated that you can't expect to make that sort of money straight off as it takes time to achieve those levels.
I don't remember saying e-Currencies were new or original, I just said you were commenting on something you didn't have much knowledge about and I have already given a link to an article as to why e-Currency are becoming increasingly popular compared to national, regulated currencies when purchasing things online, and it states why they are better.
We will just have to agree to disagree and now maybe I can get back to learning, which was the reason I came here, instead of having to defend my occupation.

Fair do. The fact that e-currencies are not new means that it is possible to know something about their problems and weaknesses without being familiar with the specifics - that simply speeded up my response.
Agree to disagree it shall be though. Best of luck in your endeavours. If it works out, PM me and I will send my address. You post me a bottle of chilli sauce to accompany the hat I shall be eating ;)

Well, it has been a while since I was here having this discussion but since then the DXSystem has launched and I have updated my website. There is now a Presentation of the DXSystem and DXSynergy and also more detailed information about the kind of things we provide.
Conversation is welcome.
Note, Dynamic-Xchange.com is my own training/information site, and DXSynergy is the actual system/business site.
