There is a .01% chance for any block to be a Spotter Block
COMING SOON - Precious Metal Exchange
Exchange your Spots for gold and silver once Spots are more frequently traded and exchanged. If we were to launch our gold and silver plans now prior to exchanging of Spots, then we would be setting the price. Instead, we want the Free Market to decide. After the price of Spots has stabilized, we will roll out our Precious Metals Program. This is not a pump and dump project; we are in it as support for the long haul. We don't even generate coins fast enough to make it worth doing. As of 7/22, there are still less than 50,000 total Spots in the networkAs soon as the free market lets the price of Spots settle in, we can set the price for bullion
Spots will be available for trade in gold and silver in the coming weeks.OPEN BOUNTIES FOR SERVICES

I will post the links, add the nodes. Then I'm going to go smoke a cig so the first block is mined publicly by someone else and time stamped after the post. Then I'm going to start up my miners.

UPDATE: 7/20/2013 - 1 am Central, 2 am Eastern - Spots are now LIVE. Good luck!UPDATE: 7/22/2013 - Why is the coin named Spots?Many people keep thinking about them as spots on your carpet because I own a carpet cleaning company. That's not the reason. Some of you may remember a while back I was talking about taking Litecoins for silver and gold. That's where Spots come in. Spot Price is what precious metals are worth at any given time. The future of Spots are in precious metals. More information will be released with no specific time frame in order. I can tell you it will be soon, and if you followed this thread, you would see how quickly we got 2 pools, a faucet, working clients on Windows, Mac, and Linux from the launch, that soon means soon. We also had a very smooth and fair launch, with no premine and most of the Spots I've personally mined from the two pools have been given away for bounties, as well as just to get more people to download the client.
My whole point is that this coin was created for a specific reason in mind. It's not a joke coin or a project getting set up for a pump and dump.
