Greetings!Which other elements does the goldmint infrastructure include?
Graphene hosts the Graphene blockchain, API and a crypto exchange for GOLD trade. 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 What happens when physical gold is withdrawn from custody bot?
When physical gold is withdrawn from Custody Bot, the corresponding number of GOLD assets are destroyed. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!What is the key idea of the project?
GoldMint buys, sells and repurchases GOLD at the current market price for physical gold. The company uses exchange-traded funds (ETF) or physical gold (of 999 quality) as its security. GoldMint's gold reserves equal or exceed its mined amounts of GOLD. 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. How do i get the money loaned?
GoldMint loan applicants transfer their GOLD as collateral to a certain GoldMint application. The rate of the loan is established at the time of giving and remains fixed through the loan period. Applicants needs to consent to GoldMint loan terms to receive the loan.Applicant is given various options for repaying loan amount and for mode of repayment. If the borrower defaults, his GOLD cryptoassets are transferred to GoldMint. 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 ).

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.

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

What difference between Goldmint and other gold-based cryptocurrency?
Differences between Goldmint and other gold cryptocurrency blockchains include the following: Goldmint uses its own blockchain and altcoin, called MNT, for GOLD transactions. Goldmint uses Proof-of-Stake where miners are doled blocks/ transactions according to the amount of MNT they have. Proof of stake (PoS) is faster, simpler and cheaper than proof of work (PoW). Physical gold and ETFs are stored in a programmed decentralized storage unit. Custody Bot - Goldmint’s innovative storage unit is programmed to automatically identify and store gold jewelry, small ingots (up to 100 grams) and coins without human intervention.

Greetings!What about GOLD exchange rate?
Emission :1 GOLD = cost of 1 ounce of gold on stock exchanges + 5% commission for fiat-GOLD-fiat – no more than 4% Buyback: 1 GOLD = cost of 1 ounce of gold on stock exchanges + max. 5% commission for fiat-GOLD-fiat– no more than 4% What commission you hold?
GOLD commission is Z% (no more than 0.3%), but no less than a fixed Y amount of GOLD (i.e., more than 0,0025 GOLD depending on the current gold price). 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!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. 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. Clarify the roadmap for your investors
We plan to start our ICO on September 20th, 2017. After that we are going to develop our blockchain. Next spring we are going to put GOLD in rotation. Around next autumn Custody Bot will be released and we will get on american exchanges since our token is not a securities. With regards, team GOLDMINT

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. With regards, team GOLDMINT

The ability to receive passive income as market price of GOLD rises. Robotic storage unit Custody Bot Buyback of GOLD for fiat according to the current price of GOLD. A fast user registration system and identification. Why tokens are Gold-backed? Why not using any other precious metals or other asset?
Gold- because it is a clear metal for general public. Plus, we have a company that buys 450 kg of gold per month from pawnshops all over Russia. These are unclaimed deposits. Therefore, we have our own source of gold - we don't depend on banks. Today, more than 1% of all gold is kept in pawnshops. In 53% of the cases, gold is bought as a mean of investment. Many people buy coins or small bars of gold. For them Custody Bot is an excellent solution. Coins are the easiest to examine. Initially, we set a task for our engineers to examine the quality of jewellery. They have succeeded and this is way more difficult than examining coins. What will happen if audit shows that GoldMint have less physical gold, than GOLD tokens emitted?
If the audit results show that, the value of physical gold is less than the number of the GOLD tokens emitted, the excess amount of GOLD will be written off automatically from the company wallet via the smart contract. With regards, team GOLDMINT

Greetings!I have ever seen many projects like GOLDMINT,so what's the diffirence between GOLDMINT to the others,if you have already reached your soft cap?
These are the benefits of GOLD tokens: 1. STABLE PRICE - for cryptotraders it can help hedging risks after a busy day trading. - for ICOs to hedge your risks when buying new tokens. As you know each ICO has their ETH exchange rate on the first day and rate is kept till the last day frozen. ALL ICOs usually continue for 1 month. And during this month ETH and BTC can suffer really big fluctuations of price. 2. The process to buy any of the cryptocurrencies today having fiat is accompanied with high transactions fees such as 5-8% or even more! Agree? Same with selling your BTC or ETH for fiat. Is anybody happy with the 10-16% spread of FIAT-GOLD-FIAT circle? We can provide same with less than 5%! HOW? We are going to deliver this service to banks. We already have banks agreed as they have plenty of GOLD and want to issue GOLD tokens backed by their physical GOLD. Isn't it nice? 3. FIAT LOANING. We are going to deliver p2p fiat loaning to our GOLD token buyers. How? As a collateral you can deposit your GOLD tokens to GOLDMINT and get a loan on a credit card issued by our bank partners. Why we decided so? There 60000 tones of GOLD excavated today. 30000 of them are on people hands, necks or kept in drawers. Nobody today can refinance physical gold better then pawnshops. Tired of 100-150% pawnshops interest anually? 4. CUSTODY BOT. Here come our future tech - own designed robotic custody bots which can evaluate physical gold, issue GOLD tokens to those who will deposit their physical gold jewellery. Realtime. Hassle free. How is that? 5. CLASSIC INVESTMENT INSTRUMENT. GOLD token holders can also deposit theit GOLD tokens to GOLDMINT trust management and get 6-10% annually How do you calculate with transaction fees?
GOLD tokens transaction fees are 0,3%. Hello!
I have a question: how can your backing gold/eth amount be verified? Recent news on USDT show us that real reserves can be smaller than needed.
Thanks!
Each GOLD token issued is backed with an ounce of gold which is provided by 100% guaranteed buyback by GOLDMINT itself. USDT doesn't guarantee its buyback. It's just a bubble of existing volume. With regards, team GOLDMINT
