What's the prospect of other exchanges adopting the Quint as a trading pair? Or, actually and potentially way better....
...could you somehow create a smartcoin like "USDQ" on Bitshares, derived from the Quint, where it always stayed equal to $1 but it's value in relation to Quint would fluctuate based on the value of Gold at any given time (1 USDQ = $1 regardless of the price of gold, which would be equal to about 0.76 Quint if my math is correct, based on 1000 Quints per ounce and a $1300 price per ounce of Gold)
Same could be done for any major currency, as needed. That would be insane.
It would allow cryptos to be able to trade in a unit of measurement that was as stable as it's associated government backed fiat, while being full backed and redeemable in Gold, sent digitally across the world in 3 seconds, and should theoretically have strong liquidity because it is as liquid as gold (probably more b/c of the fractional ownership).
Thoughts @Stan?
