From Chief Editor of "TJ"

What ever you may say but the past April was rich in news. Some structural changes are about to happen in the virtual economy, which are based on the reformation of the market itself. Such events as the purchase of a part of the shareholding of RuPay by RBK company, and also the purchase of DeltaPay by “Finam” are putting some idea into the minds of even not so well-informed people about the metamorphosis on the market of electronic finances. One can say with confidence that from the point of view of the market volume such purchases can mean the forecast of the scaled growth. News about the purchase of important players among electronic payment systems in April also was added by the news about E-passporte leaving the USA and appearance of online banking service from Sberbank. There is a direct evidence of the evolution of even the most conservative business-structures on the Internet. And if the desire of Sberbank to achieve progress by means of “electronic saving-bank” is clear, the termination of processing activity of E-passporte is definitely posing some questions. Or it’s better to say that the questions are more rhetorical as the answers to them are hidden in American legislation. However, in one way or another, we can definitely say that some decline in E-passporte turnovers on the Internet can be expected. The similar trend can take place on the market of e-gold as well where there was no activity even after the process on illegality of e-gold assets arrest in 2005 won in e-gold’s favor.

However, the April news is left behind having suggested us a lot of reflections. First of all, we would like to understand what happens on the market of electronic payment systems and who rushes to replace e-gold. Having an eye on the deserted client audience of e-gold, the representative of C-gold payment system tells us about his ambitions and his view on the DGC industry.

Observing the balances left motionless in the accounts of e-gold and fethard, we drew a conclusion that a real crisis of liquidity was brewing on the Internet. “Community has faced the situation when the bins are full of cash but there is no any opportunity to use it, or there is one but it is possible only under condition of low liquidity of fethard and e-gold,” tells one of the representatives of Crutop resource users to Trainex Journal. Having felt the importance and relevance of the topic on the electronic currency liquidity crisis, we decided to delve deeply into this issue and to analyze the existing problem.

The thread of community in our TJ May issue is continued by one of our reporters who has conducted a survey of posting market on the Internet and posting industry as a whole. We understand that usually this is not pronounced but posters, being an independent unit of working class on the Internet, are so popular that we couldn’t ignore this sphere of business.

The May issue of Trainex Journal is concluded with the discourse upon threats and problems that threaten electronic commerce. The thing is that this sphere of business has passed its formation stage long time ago. Now it enters the following phase that is, besides the rapid growth of turnovers on the market, connected to a number of problems arising on the way of an electronic businessman. We tried to cover this exact issue on the pages of Trainex Journal.

In conclusion, it is necessary to say that the May issue of TJ will be not less interesting for all the readers than the previous ones. We are sure that those who do not want to get into all the details of virtual economy will willy-nilly come to the conclusion that they want to keep up to date and to use services available online only. And that, in turn, will surely get them to us – to Trainex Journal as we don’t describe electronic finances from every quarter but we look at them on the inside …
