What is the difference between allocated and unallocated gold?

Allocated gold means that the gold is physically held in secure storage and outright owned by the Vaultoro client. All gold bars are segregated from other accounts at the storage facility, and our vaulting facility (Pro-Aurum, one of the largest vaulting companies in Europe) itemizes Vaultoro’s bars on a formal bar list. 

"unallocated" gold is very different. With unallocated gold there are no specific gold bars set aside, clients are in fact owed metal by the trading company, broker, bank, or refinery that provides the service. Buying unallocated gold exposes investors to the financial situation of the seller because it is carried purely on the company’s accounts or balance sheets. If anything was to happen to the company like bankruptcy then investors would have to hope and wait in line to try and recover their share of the gold. The terrible truth is that with unallocated gold holdings there doesn't have to be any gold held for the account! Unallocated gold is simply a promise to pay back rather than physically held gold held as the user's legal property.
Vaultoro.com only offers allocated gold secured in a top-tier vaulting facility in Switzerland.

Vaultoro uses blockchain technology to have full proof of above 100% reserve, ushering in the age of radical transparency in the gold markets.

Trade bitcoin and gold on vaultoro in real-time.

When Satoshi Nakamoto originally invented bitcoin he/she modeled a lot of the protocol on gold. The key differences between the two are that gold has a historically stable price but heavy and expensive to send, on the other hand, bitcoin has a very volatile price but fast and cheap to send worldwide.

By allowing people to instantly convert their bitcoin to gold and back 24/7, they are effectively backing their bitcoin with gold, removing the price volatility but also enabling people to send their gold instantly around the world.

Many people in the bitcoin community got into the cryptocurrency with an aim to exit the mainstream financial system but to deal with the massive volatility of the currency a lot of those same people have to trade back and forth into euro or dollars. Gold protects people against the price volatility of bitcoin without them ever having to go back into fiat currencies, which is attractive to a large number of the bitcoin community.

The other issue Vaultoro set out to solve was dishonest exchanges.
Joshua Scigala, the co-founder of Vaultoro.ch, was financially hit by the collapse of the bitcoin exchange MtGox at the end of 2012 and this was the inspiration to create a fully auditable bitcoin exchange. 

Vaultoro is a gold bitcoin exchange where users can instantly convert their bitcoin to physical gold, vaulted in professional Swiss vaults. Joshua and Philip Scigala, two brothers with a long history in bitcoin and gold, founded the company in Feb 2015. Vaultoro’s gold supplier and vaulting company ProAurum is one of the largest physical precious metal traders in the European Union.
