Sorry, I don't get it. Do you want an electronic gold standard?
Anyway, I don't really think it would be a real competitor of bitcoins excepts for gold bugs....

I want gold as money, with notes and electronic debt money as extensions. Really I would like bitcoin to take that role, but bitcoin is not suffiently adopted, and may be too late if the fiat system tanks. A dual system of bitcoin and gold is also possible, as the two have some fundamentally different traits. (and yes some will always be gold bugs).

I see the danger of a "gold standard" (which gradually stops being a gold standard), therefore I prefer to say gold as money, even if it includes notes and debt (it has to, otherwise it would be too impractical).
