So this is effectively e-gold? What about decentralization? Is there any reason this won't be shut down like e-gold?
I don't think this is going to get very far...

Exactly and E-Gold, which by far the price is always dependent on how much the current price of gold.

People that still think that true cryptocurrencies need backing do not understand how money evolves.
