Wow! Tom just blows me away. Got an early 30th birthday present today in the mail from Tom.....10K shares of restricted ECNC stock! I am not required by any rule or regulation I can find to disclose this...but feel it important to me personally to disclose it since I am quite active in posting on SI, RB and started the Yahoo ECNC Stock Club. I, nor Tom or the company, have anything to hide on this subject.

The stock is 144 stock and can not be traded at all for one year, in the second year it is free trading but subject to restrictions and it is only fully freely trading with no restrictions after two years. I have no present intention of doing anything but store it in my safe deposit box for at least 5 years....as I have previously stated with regard to the other 2600+ shares I have scraped and starved to purchase with my own meager funds.

Tom had told me recently he wanted to give me a gift of some shares as a sign of appreciation for some of my voluntary efforts on behalf of the company...not for posting...but some marketing ideas I have provided, investors I have apparently brought into the company by way of introduction to our DD, and assistance with distribution of factual information and defense of falsities and harmful rumors. I do not want to blow my own horn....only explain that what you have seen on line is only a small portion of my efforts for the company.

I want to explain so others can see and better understand Tom's willingness to reward those who provide value and assistance to the company, whether as an employee or as a volunteer just having fun and trying to build value into his/her investment. Prior examples are JM Hollen who has gone from ordinary (as much as he can be) investor to Director of Corporate Alliances....because he had some ideas he pursued which assisted the company greatly. OC Mayor...who was one of the early SI thread posters who has done great things for them company in pursuit of his knowledge of computers, the internet and wagering. Maybe someday I will be so blessed as to join their ranks as an official staff member of ECNC!!! (dream, dream, dream.....corporate counsel would be nice!!!) <VVVBG>

I know many will take this negatively....for that I am a bit troubled by the gift. Regardless, I think I would be a fool to not accept it...so I accept it humbly with the greatest joy and appreciation. It means alot to me and my family given our financial situation at this early stage in my career and desire to be a bigger part of this company.

Please understand I have and have not ever had any agreement or understanding with the company or anyone else to promote, hype, or otherwise spread information or opinions about ECNC on the internet or otherwise. All my efforts have been utterly voluntary to date and for the benefit of other investors/potential investors, my own enjoyment and to do my little part to add value to ECNC by getting the word out accurately and factually.

I can not emphasize enough that this is a gift of appreciation for my ideas and voluntary support of the company and Tom. It is not a fee for services rendered or to be rendered in the future. I am under no obligation to continue to participate on any thread or to hold any free trading shares of stock I own.

I intend and pledge to all to continue without change in doing all the things I have done before. If I change....jump my case immediately please!!! If anything...I now have an incentive to do even more to help out Tom and the company!

I also think it is important to thank each and every one of you, and my friends and ECNC family for helping me pursue my ideas and thoughts here on-line. Scoobey, Dai, Stevek, JMH, Fliby, Rob, Manny, Jerry, Fatt Matt, Lord E......so many others who helped and supported my efforts on-line to date....I truly appreciate and value your friendships and help with setting up and maintaining the DD Central thread (gotta work on it today) and the Yahoo Club as well as the ideas we share in PM and email. Everyone keep up the good work and our joint efforts will allow no alternative but success for eConnect in the future!

I suppose if any of you doubt my personal integrity in accepting this gift or the motives and integrity of Tom in giving it to me....then I and the company have failed in our efforts here to show as openly and factually as possible what this is all about.

PS: I am still awaiting confirmation from Tom on chat tomorrow evening.

I have an idea I have been chewing over an is now buring my brain up. Actually two ideas.

First...we need to consider the development of a full survice browser overlay application similar to Yahoo Messanger but will many more value added features and alerts, specifically designed to showcase our same as cash transaction technology and superior transaction security.

Like Messanger...Personal Assistant (PA) would allow users to more easily and quikly manage email, alert them to new messages, track friends online, send instant messages, go into chat with a friend, even voice chat, track stock, alert to significant movement in price/volume/technical analysis in their portfolio stocks, trade online and enjoy easy and quick funding of online accounts using our technology, pay bills, track bills, access online bills and accounts, move money of any form to and from any account, shop online, track favorite online merchants, sales alerts, wagering site instant access and tracking of winning/losing/taxes/balances, we could allow users to define favorite sites and have permanent defaults for access to our partner wagering sites....the possiblities are endless for how we can take this idea, make it exponentially better and more user friendly and service oriented with our technology and services....and get MAJOR exposure and woo the public into acceptance of this new way of using the internet and making transactions.

Think about it for a minute. Download Yahoo Messanger, try its features...then consider what we could do to enhance it and call it the eConnect PA!!!! It's blowing my mind. What better method to gobble up market share before our competitors even have a chance and step to the undisputed forefront of this new industry of eCommerce and instant secure transactions.

Two ways to get going with this....look to develop a Yahoo like portal for eConnect to provide for free all the services similar portals now provide plus our added services....and have downloads on the front page for the eConnect PA. More practical may be to form a long term alliance with Yahoo or an equally established and mature portal service provider to enhance their site and Messanger type service with our PA system.

Think about it then tell me if I'm crazy or its impractical or too huge to pursue. I think this is a key goal for us if we want to pursue the full potential of our products and services to the point where we indisputably position eConnect to be the Microsoft/Yahoo/Amazon.com of ecommerce and same as cash transactions.

Idea Two: Pursue and achieve a corporate alliance with a major everyday retailer like Sears and/or Walmart to place our EzyShop terminals in their automotive waiting rooms and EzyPay Kiosks in their front areas.

We can offer to share a % cut of all transactions with the location owner and we pay all costs of installation and maintenance. We provide catalogs with specialty/novelty items that do not directly compete with the location owners products. They make easy money. We gain some transactions but most importantly we gain exposure and the goodwill attendant with being associated with a major everyday household name retailer that is ingrained the the American consumer experience like a Sears and/or Walmart.

Let me know what you think of my musings.
