with a soft backing in both gold and silver.

The total investment we are willing to take from interested parties now will not exceed the value of the coin, according to coinmarketcap.com, which currently is around $4,200. Today the cap that will be accepted is 40 Bitcoins. iGotSpots will be exchanging the metals and coins to provide the difference between public investment and the actual market value. This will allow miners and investors to cash out at any time in gold and silver and leave us with all the Spots should they become worthless. We are taking the risk, should the currency fail.
What will this "public investment" value be after this 100 shares (each sold at 0.4 BTC, bringing in 40 BTC worth ~$4,200) is raised? i.e, will that be hold as bitcoins, or will you convert them to USDs or perhaps convert to Silver bullion or something that tracks the price of silver?
Ok, so let's take what happened today. The exchange rate rises where all SPT issued are worth about 60 BTC.
But there's not 60 BTC worth of capital (sales of shares) for "backing".
So on day one you are unable to "cash out at any time in gold and silver", right? If the silver cash-out price was dynamic (i.e., got set with each transaction), then you have less of a problem as it would suddenly cost more SPT per ounce of silver and it would take longer before sellers could exhaust the supply of 40 BTC worth of silver. But setting the price daily, that seems like a pretty big hole to take advantage of to suck the value of the 40 BTC of capital from investors of the shares.
The investors are investing in the company, iGotSpots, LLC, not the currency
They are paid back no later than 4 months from date of purchase, when we purchase the shares back at a minimum of 120% of the initial purchase price. If things are going really well, we will kick you guys some more, but you are guaranteed your investment + 20% of the purchase price within 120 days. These will be paid back in Spots, gold, and/or silver.
The company is the one holding the gold and silver that are sold on the market. Later when the auction site is launched is when you guys will be able to post your own sales and receive payment solely in Spots
The daily price change is for the silver bars and rounds for sale by iGotSpots, the company, not the currency. Once we can get it all automated, the price will update automatically with the market.
Please...if you have any more questions, ASK! Don't be worried about hurting my feelings or sounding stupid. I will answer them all as best I can
