Some carders used e-gold, but because most of the major fraud gangs operated out of Eastern Europe/Russia, the dominant carder currency was generally WebMoney.

e-gold was actually incredibly popular for online gambling and participating in HYIP(short term Ponzi schemes). Not exactly the most squeaky clean activities, but not exactly terrorism or whatever else the feds used to shut down e-gold.
- rdl 13y agoWebmoney got big after e-gold, iirc. (I was a consultant to e gold and was working on a digital blinded token currency backed in egold at the time in Anguilla). My memory that far back is kind of hazy, though. The HYIP stuff was amazing. I don't remember it being so popular for gambling. The other gold currencies which turned out to be scams (osgold, etc) were super lulzy too.
