Greetings!what are graphene’s advantages compared to ethereum and other blockchains?
Graphene is cheaper, there is no charge for ether commissions. Graphene, too, is optimized for GOLD transactions therefore its executes its blocks faster and more effectively and it’s safer in that it uses its own coins rather than turing-complete smart contracts. what other projects run on graphene?
Graphene also allows its users other platforms that include:Openledger - exchange Rudex - exchange Satoshi.fund - fund Hubdsp - DSP platform Peerplays - betting platform Steemit / Golos.io - news platform which data will be stored on graphene blockchain?
Details of the miner rotation, miners’ rewards and incentives as well as details related to Custody Bot operations (e.g., assessment, weight, when allocated and withdrawn). Also stored on Graphene are all details related to GoldMInt’s GOLD transactions. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!how are the rewards for mining determined?
According to the amount of MNTs the miner has. what happens if the miner doesn’t have enough computing power to verify a transaction?
The miner can buy more from from other miners on the network. why is goldmint platform built on graphene?
The advantages of Graphene compared to Ethereum include the following. It is: Safer - GoldMint blockchain uses its own coins rather thn turing-complete smart contracts. More productive - GoldMint is optimized for GOLD transactions. GoldMint is the only ICO that uses this platform, so its platform executes workloads The Graphene blockchain supports PoS.Cheaper - there is no charge for ether commissions.faster and more effectively. With regards, team GOLDMINT"

Greetings!Why don't you use ETH blockchain?
GoldMint’s blockchain, using the Graphene platform will be launched. Advantages of such a choice compared to using an Ethereum private fork are as follows: 1. Safer - GoldMint blockchain uses its own coins rather than turing-complete smart contracts. 2. More productive - GoldMint uses PoS, is optimized for GOLD transactions as there are no other ICOs on the same platform. 3. Cheaper - no charge for ether commissions. 4. The Graphene blockchain supports PoS. What about GOLD/MNT mining?
To start mining, you just needs to download a program from the GoldMint repository, launch it on your device, fine-tune it and start mining. Consensus algorithm : We use PoS as our primary mining system. In case a user who holds many MNT doesn’t have enough computational power, he can rent computational power from other miners. Miner rotation The amount of stakes depends on the amount of MNT a miner holds. So, if a miner owns 50% MNT, he will be chosen to process every second block. Miner rewards A miner receives a GOLD commission from each processed block. When the block is processed, no tokens are emitted. Describe PoS and why you chose it? Thank you
Proof-of-stake (PoS) is a type of algorithm by which a cryptocurrency blockchain network aims to achieve distributed consensus. Unlike proof-of-work (PoW) based cryptocurrencies (such as bitcoin), where the algorithm rewards participants who solve complicated cryptographical puzzles in order to validate transactions and create new blocks (i.e. mining), in PoS-based cryptocurrencies the creator of the next block is chosen in a deterministic (pseudo-random) way, and the chance that an account is chosen depends on its wealth (i.e. the stake). In PoS cryptocurrencies the blocks are usually said to be forged (in the blacksmith sense of this word), or minted, rather than mined. Also, usually all the coins are created in the beginning and the total number of coins never changes afterwards (although there are some other versions of PoS where new coins can be created). Therefore, in the basic version of PoS there are no block rewards (e.g. as in bitcoin); so, the forgers take only the transaction fees With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!When was the pre-ICO? I haven't heard anything about it.
Our pre-ICO was private. We had only 300,000 tokens each presented to 27 person and 3 venture funds only. You still can join our upcoming ICO. You will be able to buy our tokens using your ETH or BTC. Minimum investment can be 1 MNTP token and $7 equally. We'll open a prior registration at goldmint.io in 2-3 days. You'll be able to register and get access to addresses you'll use to send transfers. Can US/Singapore citizens participate in the ICO?
Citizens, residents (tax or otherwise) and green card holder of the United States of America or Singapore, or other U.S. or Singapore person are exempt from buying MNT tokens. The term “U.S. or Singapore Person” refers to anyone who lives in the United States or Singapore or to any entity that is incorporated under United States or Singapore law. American citizens living abroad can also be considered “U.S. Persons” under certain conditions. How will be distributed tokens during ICO event?
Release of MNT tokens are done by Ethereum-based smart contracts, specially used for distribution of tokens. 80% of 10 000 000 MNT are released during ICO launch. GoldMint team receives two million MNT tokens, and no more than 500 000 per quarter distributed via a special wallet. Some consultants receive MNT tokens two months after ICO launch. Smart contracts can automatically trade ETH into MNT. The number of tokens to be transmitted to a particular user depends on the sum at the time of its receipt by GoldMint. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!As your said, GOLDMINT has an exchange or platform to helps investors exchange GOLDMINT token to real-GOLD with fixed price, is right? Because I really can not understand the definition about apply blockchain technology for real-GOLD.
It would be possible to buy these tokens on more of exchanges. If I buy ETF where can I get gold for him? In which country?
Having GOLD tokens you would be able to exchange them for physical gold in any of the countries using custody bots. More information about what countries and when will come in 2018. Hi devs, what do you mean by ETF ?
Gold exchange traded funds on LBMA. Hello!
The idea is great and team seems competent in the bank and operations sphere!
Am I right that there is no own blockchain already?
Our blockchain development has just started. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!which details of gold valuables examination are sent to the blockchain?
The details of both inspections - i.e., the data results of the spectral analysis and the hydrostatic weighing - are stored in GoldMint's blockchain. The timestamps on the valuable’s acceptance and withdrawal are also stored in blockchain. Custody Bot will be distributed in pawnshops and trade centres. what happens when physical gold is withdrawn from custody bot?
When physical gold is withdrawn from Custody Bot, the corresponding number of GOLD assets are destroyed. what are the costs of custody bot development?
Spectrometer = $5,000-6,000 Scales = $200-300 Internal manipulator = $2,000-5,000 Built-in PC, touch screen, keyboard = $1,000-1,500 Armored box = $2,000-7,000 Installation, adjustment and commissioning = $500-1,500 Total: $10,700 - 21,300 With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!which assets can be deposited to the custody bot?
Gold jewelry, small ingots (up to 100 grams) and coins. why can custody bot automate gold valuables assessment?
Custody Bot can replace pawnshops as it is more transparent and almost totally automated. why does gold jewelry need extra examination from a specialist?
Manual inspection is needed each time gold jewelry undergoes inspection, as there is no common standard for this type of commodity. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!How Custody Bot analyse the value of gold?
Gold inspection includes: ● Visual identification of the product by an operator – coin, ingot, jewelry, raw gold or gold granules ● Evaluation via spectrography using the spectrograph installed within the box ● Evaluation and weighing of gold via hydrostatic weighing Custody Bot uses the technologies of spectral analysis and hydrostatic weighing to inspect the value of the gold. In the absence of a single standard, a specialist also manually inspects the jewelry before Custody Bot conducts spectral analysis. Spectral analysis: the process: Custody Bot uses fluorescence spectroscopy, a type of electromagnetic spectroscopy that analyzes fluorescence from a sample. This technique involves using a beam of light, usually ultraviolet light, that excites the electrons in molecules of certain compounds and causes them to emit light. An analyzer crystal disperses radiation onto the gold via a detector. A computer-controlled precision goniometer moves the analyzer crystal and detector and controls the position, intensity and lengths of secondary radiation waves. Concentration of the analysis is calculated by comparison with known standard samples. Hydrostatic weighing: the process: Hydrostatic weighing determines the density of the gold and is done by weighting the item first in air then liquid and calculating the combined private density (ρ2). Estimation of density is made by contrasting the density of gold to densities of other metals. The initial weighting lets define the valuable’s weight (m1) and the second one lets detemine the volume: V=(m1-m2)/ρ2. what is custody bot?
Custody Bot is GoldMint's unique device. It is programmed for temporary holding, inspection, long-term storing and conveying of gold jewelry, coins or gold. how does custody bot evaluate the assets?
Custody Bot uses the technologies of spectral analysis and hydrostatic weighing to inspect the value of the gold. In the absence of a single standard, a specialist also manually inspects the jewelry before Custody Bot conducts spectral analysis. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!which rights does mnt provide its holders with?
MNT tokens holders are allowed to vote on GoldMint’s platform in proportion to their number of tokens. This means that when changes are made to GoldMint’s platform, MNT token-holders vote on whether or not to accept these changes. They also have a right to validate blocks and get rewards in GOLD. What do you want to gain with your project?
Today there are more than 60,000 tonnes of gold from the earth extracted, half of which finds its way into the pockets and accounts of “ordinary” people. Our idea is no short of revolutionary: we plan to convert this gold into blockchain-encrypted tokens to help owners protect their valuables, to help investors move their gold can more rapidly and easily from one part of the world to another, and to help companies and individuals hedge their gold against market volatility. We plan to move in three stages: To gain access to 1% of global gold circulation (over 300 tonnes) by launching Custody Bot automated storage facilities in pawnshops around the world. To gain access to another 5% of gold circulation by introducing Custody Bot to shopping centers. To gradually gain access to a final 10% of gold reserves, worth more than $100 billion, and to develop a special version of Custody Bot for popular installation. How Custody Bot will be linked to a blockchain?
The Airalab Core platform links Custody Bot to the blockchain. We are consulting with them because they have a huge expirience about connecting various bots to blockchain With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!how can mnt tokens be purchased?
MNTP is initially released via ICO, after which MNTP tokens will migrate to the GoldMint blockchain, using a 1/1 fork. Then they will receive an MNT ticker. in what way will mntp tokens migrate from ethereum to graphene?
MNTP will first be found on Ethereum and produced via its ERC20 interface. Once Graphene is installed, MNTP will be conveyed there and will have MNT name. does mnt act like a goldmint share?
MNT token does not imply rights to participate in company management of GoldMint and is not a share. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!what are mntp tokens?
MNTP tokens are launched on Ethereum blockchain and are offered for sale during ICO. Later they will migrate to MNT tokens (GoldMint blockchain) to verify GOLD transactions. what are mnt tokens?
MNT is GoldMint's internal token, used to confirm GOLD cryptoasset transactions. how do they work?
MNT is used as a stake within the PoS (Proof-of-Stake) consensus algorithm. Namely, the more MNT the miner holds, the more blocks he can validate and add to the chain. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!Can MNT holders participate in GoldMint company management? Is GoldMint a DAO?
The internal MNT token does not give rights to participate in company management of GoldMint and is not a share. MNT tokens holders recieve a right to vote on GoldMint platform proportionally to the number of tokens they hold. This means that in case some changes are to take place within GoldMint platform, MNT tokens holder vote on whether to accept it or not. Who is the seller of MNTP tokens?
GoldMint PTE LTD company registered in Singapore is the seller of MNT tokens. Is MNTP a security token?
No, MNTP tokens are used for ICO only. As soon as GoldMint blockchain is launched, MNTP can be exchanged for MNT used as stake in our consensus algorithm. MNT holders do not receive any passive income. We have a report on MNT/MNTP status from an US lawyer company. This provides us with an opportunity to trade MNT/MNTP on the US market 12 months after ICO. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!I see MNTP and MNT tokens here. What's the difference?
MNTP tokens can be found on the Ethereum blockchain. ● Initial emission of MNTP is conducted using the ERC20 interface. ● GoldMint’s blockchain, using the Graphene platform gor GOLD and MNT tokens will be launched after. What are the price expectations? After a month? After a year?
MNT has a limited supply and they are used as stake in PoS (proof-of-stake) consensus algorithm. The more transactions there are within GoldMint blockchain the bigger rewards miners get and the more is demand for MNT. Is that your model have so-called dividends? Can I have passive income of holding? Explain
The more MNT a validator holds, the more blocks he can validate and add to the chain. As a result miner gets 75% in GOLD equivalent from the commissions for the transactions validated. In case at the moment of block validation the miner doesn’t have enough computational power to validate the block or in case he cannot do this for some other reasons he can be deleted from the White List of reliable miners and will lose the right to accomplish a block. In this case the right to validate blocks goes over to another user who has been chosen by GoldMint algorythm. To become a validator all you need is to download GoldMint Wallet app from the official website and launch it using your GoldMint account. In case a user who holds many MNT doesn’t have enough computational power, he can rent computational power from other miners. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!What exchanges should we expect? I need liquidity on my investments.
We meet all the requirements of SEC regulations and our tokens can't be determined as securities. The final decision of listing us on exchanges lays upon exchanges their self. According to all this we will start listing negotiations right after our ICO. The first exchanges to list tokens are usually Liqui, YoBit, Tidex, HitBTC. gold token won’t be listed on any exchange, correct? and let’s say if i want to buy it, given that it requires the ‘kyc’, how and where will you sell your token?
Initially, GOLD tokens will be traded at GoldMint website, the traders will need to pass the KYC procedure which will not take more than 30 minutes. Later on they can be traded wherever according to the terms and conditions of a particular exchange. Any gauranteed coin won't be dumped when it reaches exchanges ?
We can't guarantee a fast profit to our investors right after our first appearance on exchanges. We guarantee their profit after the development of the product. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!how can icos find gold profitable?
For the same reason as above. Generally, ICOs receive their funding in cryptocurrency which has unpredictable and dramatic volatility. GOLD, which aligns itself to LBMA, can hedge unpredictable money losses after the ICO has launched. if the gold is damaged or stolen, who will take responsibility for?
The gold we use to back GOLD digital assets is all insured. How can it be both backed by real gold and run on blockchain?
A GOLD token can be issued if only GOLDMINT has a troy ounce of physical gold or ETF available to back it. To back tokens with gold means to provide 100% guaranteed anytime GOLD tokens buyback by GOLDMINT their self. That will provide stable price for these tokens which is in lack on market today. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!do gold commissions depend on the country/citizenship?
No. Rather, commissions and broker commissions are taken into account in calculating our commissions for GOLD. how is it burned?
GOLD assets are burned, or destroyed, when physical GOLD is withdrawn from the Custody Bot. how can gold help me hedging risks on the cryptocurrency market?
The price of GOLD is set according to the price of gold at LBMA market. GOLD has gentler volatility than cryptocurrency, so the risks of receiving less for buyback are less than had you used, say, bitcoin to make your transaction. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!how is gold emitted?
The amount of GOLD that is emitted depends on the amount of physical gold and ETF backing that GoldMint has in its reserves. The amount of GOLD in circulation can never exceed GoldMAn's reserves of physical gold. which is the maximum amount of gold emitted?
The amount of GOLD emitted depends on (a) the validation of deal/ details stored in the blockchain and (b) on the authenticity and value of gold inspected by Custody Bot. what are the commissions for transactions in gold?
Most times, when a person buys GOLD for fiat, the price for GOLD will be LBMA + 5%. When they want to sell their GOLD, the price will be LBMA +3%. The commission for managing gold is 0.2-0.8% per annum, depending on gold volatility and investor traffic. After analyzing the correlation between the value of gold and the stock price of the three largest ETFs - the GLD (announced expense ratio 0.4% ), the IAU ( 0.25% ) and SGOL ( 0.39% ) - we estimate that the real backlog of ETF shares in physical gold is about 0.7% (prices are taken from COMEX on the LME ). With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!how can i buy gold?
People who want to trade GOLD for fiat or cryptocurrency need to undergo GoldMint's KYC procedure. You can also get GOLD when you transfer your physical gold to Custody Bot or to GoldMint’s partner banks. some people may wonder if they can exchange the gold token with the real gold bars. how are you going to explain this?
The price of one GOLD equals one ounce of physical gold on the LBMA. Applicants who want to trade GOLD for fiat need to undergo GoldMint's KYC procedure. If accepted, the applicant’s GOLD cryptoasset is transferred from his, or her, GoldMint wallet to a special GoldMint account and is converted to fiat. GoldMint sends this fiat to the applicant. So, the price with commissions you receive for buying GOLD is LBMA + 5%, selling - LBMA + 2%. Therefore the way fiat => GOLD => fiat will be 3%. what can i do with gold assets?
You can use GOLD assets for the following: Exchange fiat to cryptocurrency - Right now the fiat-cryptocurrency exchange market exceeds $400 million. Experts predict that this will reach billions once banks regulate the cryptocurrency industry. Hedge volatility risks - Traders and other cryptocurrency users can hedge their gold commodity with GOLD on any cryptocurrency trading exchange, without leaving that particular platform. Traders can also diversify their trading portfolio with GOLD assets. Payroll unit- Given its low volatility, you may prefer GOLD to BTC and altcoins for paying employees. Because of its low commissions, high speed, and affordability (no extra charges for transborder payments), you can also use GOLD instead of fiat for regular deals. ICO currency - ICOs can ask for GOLD donations instead of regular cryptocurrency funds to hedge the high volatility risks that tend to accompany cryptocurrency. Buy and transport physical gold - You can convert your physical gold into GOLD in any bank that uses the GoldMint blockchain platform. This not only protects cross-country gold transportation but also simplifies the process. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!where does goldmint store its physical gold and which etfs back gold cryptoassets?
GoldMint's gold is locked up in its storage reserves. The amount of gold and the ratings of this gold are confirmed by bank statements which are uploaded in the GoldMint blockchain to guarantee transparency. could you give us an example number of the cost storing gold? (e.g. in the usa or switzerland)
The average fee for storing physical gold is 0,25% from its estimated value a year. will there be any auditing of goldmint assets?
An auditor from an objective TOP 100 audit company checks GoldMint's accounts each month and confirms that its gold reserves tally with its accounts and with its GOLD emission. On top of that, GoldMint has its own GoldMint internal auditor check its accounts several times a month. With regards, team GOLDMINT
