E-gold is one of the top known e-bank. It is present mostly in "amateur" online earning.
Few of my friends were hacked because they didn't use that SRK button through which you type in the password by clicking on screen keyboard. I always use SRK, haven't been hacked so far.
E-Gold doesnt allow chargebacks, which is why I and many users use it. I think it sucks having to put a minimum of $250 on with a credit card, or $500 via bank. And you need a 3rd party site to do it.
