VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Newnote Financial Corp. (the “Company” or “Newnote”) (CSE: NEU; FSE: 1W4) is pleased to announce the successful development and launch of the first open-source gold-backed alternative crypto-currency, commissioned by Anthem Vault Inc. Anthem Vault is a leading technological innovator in the bullion markets and precious metals dealer offering fractional investment in one-kilo gold bars and COMEX-approved 1,000 oz. silver bars.
As one of the leaders in the crypto-currency sector, Newnote specializes in the custom development of virtual currencies based on the criteria and specific needs of its clients. Newnote can be retained to develop new digital currencies which include a full range of utilities such as Linux, Windows, Mac OSX and Android Wallets and Block Chain ledger for tracking transactions. Newnote offers complete end-to-end consulting, development, deployment and maintenance of the client‘s new digital currency as well as a listing on our proprietary trading platform if requested.
Anthem Vault announced The INNCoin (IndependenceCoin) at FreedomFest 2014, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. INNcoin is just the latest example of new technology being deployed in innovative fashion to facilitate easier ownership, storage and transfer of precious metals in commerce. The virtual currency was secretly launched on the 4th of July 2014 by Anthem Vault’s technology team, in conjunction with Newnote Financial Corp. Dubbed the 4th of July Coin, this first Anthem Vault alt-coin is commonly referred to as MGC (Micro Gold Coin).
The MGC is an open source crypto-currency which means any person can download and look at the source code behind the coin, which is similar to Bitcoin. However, the coin has some unique attributes which sets it apart from Bitcoin. For example, there will only be a total of 10 million MGC’s in this series. All coins will be fully mined within one year, meaning all 10 million MGC’s will be in circulation and/or ownership by July of 2015. The entire series of MGC’s are backed by 100 grams of Gold stored at Anthem Vault, providing a base value to all MGC’s from the first moment the coins are “mined”.
An Anthem Vault account is free to create and there is no obligation to make a purchase. Creating an account is currently the only way to obtain an Anthem Vault MGC wallet to hold this new crypto-currency. Each AV wallet also contains mining software to allow even the most novice user the ability to download the wallet and mine / produce MGC’s right from their computer. This experimental currency is being used to demonstrate how gold or any precious metal can back a crypto-currency and become a truly independent commerce solution.
Anthem Hayek Blanchard, Anthem Vault CEO and Founder states: “This coin stands for currency independence and demonstrates the use of crypto-currencies as micro-gold weighted instruments in commerce.”
Paul Dickson, President and CEO of Newnote states: “We are very pleased Anthem Vault Inc. chose Newnote to develop this coin. A gold-backed crypto-currency is an important milestone in the evolution of digital currencies and enabled us to demonstrate our technical ability to create asset backed virtual currencies. We believe this division of our business will significantly contribute to our revenue model moving forward.”
