GNI Newsletter November 20, 2009
GNI Newsletter November 20, 2009
Greetings to all of our Friends at GNI:
It's been an "exciting" week for all of us at GNI; with issues, trials and tribulations affecting the entire spectrum of the users from admin to customer. No doubt it would have been nice to avoid some of the theatrics, however, they happened so now we pick up the pieces and move forward.
1. The New Script - We hope you have enjoyed the new script which was recently installed. For those of you who either have been sleeping or have not had access to the latest happenings at GNI, we recently upgraded the GNI scripting software to Shadowscripts (SS) in pursuit of better security, improved "user-friendliness," enhanced capabilities and dedicated support.
While we have had some "hiccups," by and large we are very pleased with the migration process and the overall decision to go with SS. Should anyone have any ideas or viable improvements, feel free to submit your suggested changes to admin@shadowscripts.com and CC GNIcsr@gmail.com. We'll take all proposed enhancements under consideration.
2. E-Currency / Payment Processor Issues / Update - Since the latter part of the week ending November 14th, we identified a disparity in our distribution of and holdings of our e-currency.
Specifically, we had a disparity - having a bit more Strictpay and a bit less STPay. The introduction of the new, in-house exchanger was eliminated as the cause of this disparity.
Regardless, we were compelled to work towards creating a workable and stable E-currency / PP Management process and took the necessary steps to do so.
First up was the decision to modify the exchanger allowing those persons who made E-Wallet purchases with STPay the opportunity to swap these deposits with other PP funds we use, at no cost.
Although it was never our intention to compel members to subscribe to a PP they did not want otherwise use, we became anxious recognizing we may not be able to meet our standard 24-48 hour turnaround time for STP withdrawals.
One final apology to those of you who felt obligated, as a result of our initial News Page to swap your deposits, e-wallet and cash balances from STP to another PP.
In our attempt to rectify this situation, we have devised a seemingly simple procedure outlined below, which will allow you to switch these deposits back to STPay at no cost. In the meantime, we have lifted all STP restrictions as we find our decision has indeed had the desirable affect.
3. Reversing Your swapped STP Deposits back to STP - The following procedure will allow us to swap your newly converted funds back to STPay:
3.1. Obtain the Deposit ID # the system assigned to your transaction. This can be located in your "my deposits" in your GNI Back Office.
(Note: We do not want or need, nor can we use the "Transaction ID." This is a different identifier and is not what we are looking for.)
3.2. Accurately transfer the Deposit ID # into an email. In this email please put the following information:
a. Your GNI UserID name.
b. Your GNI UserID number
c. The Deposit ID #
d. The amount of the deposit; and,
e. The currency / pp you changed this deposit to
3.3. Send the email to the following email address:
GNIdeposits@gmail.com
Within 48 hours (likely much sooner), assuming you have followed these instructions properly, your deposit will be swapped back to STPay. There will, of course, be no fee for this transaction.
4. New Account / Email Changes - When requesting to add a new PP, change a current PP account number / identifier or you wish to change your GNI registered Email address, there are specific procedures that have been established. Please contact support through your back office Support Ticket Menu. Debbie is coordinating these changes with the entire process taking between 2-3 calendar days to complete.
5. Update in RE: Bank / Wire Transfer - Yesilada Bank - We have confirmed the cause of member / GNI owned funds which have been frozen at Yesilada Bank in Northern Cyprus. As we understand it, an unknown perpetrator successfully scammed a group of German, Austrian and Swiss Nationals out of their funds. The total amount stolen was quite significant and the perpetrator has not, at this time, been caught. As a result, German officials at AKBank in Frankfurt have successfully frozen all assets currently held by Yesilada until the investigation has concluded.
How long this will take and when will funds be "unfrozen" is not currently known. We have confirmed, however, that Yesilada Bank IS NOT currently in receivership and we all hope it stays this way.
There is NOTHING we can do to assist those of you whose funds are frozen, nor for ourselves whose situation mirrors that of yours.
6. Charitable Giving for the Holidays - We are narrowing our search to select a charitable cause that our loyal and generous GNI membership can throw its weight behind. We'll provide further details in the upcoming week(s).
We wish to thank our loyal friends and members of GNI for the continued trust in what we do and are doing. We strive to avail ourselves as much as reasonably possible. Please remember to use the Ticket System in your back office when request assistance from the GNI Support Team.
Finally, remember to pay your civil obligations if the are owed (taxes) and that there are ALWAYS people in this world who are both less fortunate and desperately need your financial assistance. Seek them out and give generously.
Regards,
GNI Administration and Support
GNI Newsletter November 12th. 2009
Greetings to all of our esteemed Clients, Customers and Friends of GNI:
Pursuant to our expectations, many of our concerns running the old script have been, thankfully, resolved. Not to be out done, however, many new questions are being asked, change requests are being initiated (and resolved) and issues having risen; mostly, a result of the script change.
As one would expect, the tech guys like Robert pick it up real fast, the non-tech guys, like Todd, tend to "struggle" at times but are making great strides (!!) to become fluent in "Shadowspeak".
Because the new script's capabilities offer so much more than the old, it has invariably created unforeseen challenges that we must address in a way that allows us to continue to offer the services, but not interrupt our primary responsibility, pay our members timely without compromising the integrity of their account using acceptable business practices. Parts of this newsletter will be added to our "Users Guide" so be sure to utilize it as you see fit.
1. Missing Deposits - There were a number of deposits made, over this past weekend that had not posted to various client accounts. These deposits (predominantly LR and PM) failed to post resulting from some optimization issues affecting the SCI Payment Processor Interfaces and our SSL implementation/settings. This has since been corrected with the script now performing as promised.
2. Profile Updates - Many of you, for one reason or another wish or need to change your email (Gmail), add or change payment processor/e-currency(s) and/ or the applicable accounts. Before any funds can be released to a new PP account or if a client has, since their initial registration, obtained a new account number or ID that is not currently registered with GNI, please be prepared to forward a scanned copy of a current, Government issued form of identification such as a Passport or Drivers License and one other, secondary piece such as a utility bill, library card or other, verifiable source of identification. It is also mandatory that your GNI Username AND newly assigned account number be included on all transactions and correspondence so it doesn't become lost.
This information needs to be forwarded to GNIChanges@gmail.com. Debbie is the designated CSR who will be coordinating the updates of your account profiles.
It is strongly suggested all clients update their demographics in their profiles if this has not already been done so. We will have a very difficult time authorizing the update of an account if all we have to compare your id with is a first name in your GNI Profile. Please, make this easy on Debbie, allowing for an expeditious verification process ensuring timely withdrawals of your funds.
3. Support Requests - All client support requests MUST be initiated from the client's Back Office Help Desk Menu. It is no longer acceptable for clients/customers to initiate requests directly to support's emails unless directed by the CSR to do so. Likewise, please do not submit support requests directly to Robert. He has assured the support team that he will request of the member to use the correct channels to get their support request addressed. By going to Robert first, you have done nothing more than add 24 to 36 hours to get your support request resolved. Please have any anticipated documents scanned and ready to be forwarded so that your request can be expedited. All extraneous documents must have your GNI account number on each piece and it must be scanned in by email.
4. Currency Exchange - We hope those of you who have taken advantage of our currency exchanger have found it easy to use and quite reasonable in price. It is currently set at 4% for all exchanges. This price can and will fluctuate due to current market conditions. Some have indicated the price is high, others the price is very reasonable. Please keep in mind when evaluating our rates, this has been set up for you, our trusted member's convenience. More often than not, it costs us more than 4% should we have to purchase E-Currency on the open market. We have found the currency exchanger less of a "Profit Center" and more of a "Cost Reducer."
5. Wire Transfers - In our attempt to mitigate the inconvenience to our clients caused by Yesliada's failure to comply with GNI's Customer Service Standards and subsequent termination of our partnership agreement, we have eliminated all fees for Bank Wire clients when taking a distribution from a payment processor of the client's choice. Only the interest and principal from a WIRE TRANSFER qualify for this free service.

GoldNuggetInvest news from Todd
Hello guys,we've got some important news about payments from Todd-GoldNuggetInvest
“Folks, the reason we are implementing the script today, is so we don’t miss any more payments than we have (and of course those of us who are missing earnings will get those (including myself). We are very confident the new script, which may be totally operational within 18 or so hours, will pick up those missing earnings.
You have a right to be frustrated, but we are being proactive about it. We’re not sleeping on these problems (I’ve been up for almost 28 hours…i’m dead)…but it’s loading and it’s going to be great.
Thanks for your patience.”

GNI Newsletter November 4th. 2009
GoldNuggetInvest Newsletter November 4th. 2009
Extended Greetings to Our Most Trusted Clients, Members and Friends of GNI:
On the 21st of July, during the recovery of the most concentrated attack by fraudsters on GNI since its inception over three years ago, the decision was made to implement a script that was both User Friendly and provided an unprecedented level of security for both the program and the clients which it served.
Initially, the decision was made to develop a completely new, custom package which promised to be state of the art, however, it would be heretofore untested. That, along with some other issues compelled us to seek out a reliable, cost effective solution that met our criteria. Thus ensued a business relationship between Goldnuggetinvest.com (GNI) and ShadowScripts.com (SS).
As we speak, there are two issues that we, as the heart and soul of GNI need to address:
1. Clearing the final audit of, proper loading of and ease of use of; the new script; and,
2. Commencing the payment of earnings that the "old" script failed to pick up beginning on November 02, 2009.
The old script has run its course. It makes no sense to expend ANY resources unnecessarily on the old script if the new has the capability to backdate those missing earnings. At this point, we are confident it can.
We are, therefore, concentrating all the necessary resources on the complete and successful implementation of the new script. Once we are satisfied we are seemingly without problems, we will address the issue of missing earnings. Indeed, it makes no sense to prioritize these issues differently.
Having spoken with the development team at SS, I have been advised the following steps (with respect to steps one and two, they have already been accomplished or are in the process of...) will be taken to complete this task:
1.) The current database will be converted, it may take up to 24 hours alone just to convert alone. This is just a program that sits there and runs, doesn't require any actual work on GNI's end, just CPU processing.
2.) Once the database has been transferred, and is completed, we will turn off the web site. We estimate this to be between 1200 and 1400 GMT (6am and 10 am EST), the developers will get a fresh DataBase dump.
3.) Developers will then setup the SS software on the GNI server and import the last remaining transactions from the last data dump.
4.) Once the last transactions have been converted, developers will upload the entire database to the freshly installed SS software on the GNI server.
5.) At this point, Robert and I will log in and take a look around, if we like what we see, then we open the site back up to the you, the clients and customers.
6.) When you make your first login attempt, you will be prompted to create a secondary password, (which you all will) then will be taken to your accounts!
Let me anticipate some questions:
How long will this take?
- I'm not going to kid anyone here - there is a hell of a lot of data to transfer. Step 2 alone has the potential to take up to 12 hours.
To complete the entire process, an educated guess would put an estimate between 24 and 36 hours - perhaps maybe more, maybe less of system down-time. Much depends on the compatibility of the SQL - and that can't be determined until the process is initiated.
While this is going on, we will remain available to answer VALID questions that are NOT addressed at the two forums (Private and ASA). Please DO NOT ask questions such as "how much longer" or "where are my earnings?" until such time that we have had an opportunity to review the transfer.
All CSRs (Customer Support Representatives) have been instructed to respond to all questions that they are able. Those answers that can be found in the Private Forum, a response that says: "Private Forum" will be given. Those that they can find an answer to, they will find, those questions that are requesting an answer to an issue of time duration, will not be answered, as they do not know.
All questions that include things like how much longer etc - will be, upon availability of information, posted in the forum(s).
Some things to Remember:
Until this re-hosting is concluded, we can't anticipate how it will turn out. Needless to say, we have taken the time and effort on the front-end with the hopes that it will reduce the amount of effort after the transfer is made.
There is always a remote possibility that the transfer will bomb; forcing us to revert back to the old script, spend the resources and continue until we are ready to try again. This is a "worst case scenario," but it's better we are up front and honest with our clients.
We anticipate some of the less than chivalrous forums will ramp up their verbal attacks during this time-frame. That's OK. Don't get into a personal battle with any of them, it's not worth your time. We know what we're doing and will be able to hold our heads high once this major step is concluded.
Whatever the outcome, you can be sure we'll be there, paying our clients regardless of the script. Your loyalty will be rewarded and we thank you for your business.
On behalf of Robert, Jurgen and the GNI team, welcome to the next generation of GNI!
Todd - GNI Customer Service
