will people have to buy toa tokens on an exchange before they can pay for the hotels etc?

Our effort of promoting internationally TOA has achieved an important milestone: TOA becomes a sponsor and partner of the international ENCOUNTER Sporting Event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encounter_(game), for 3 major cities in the Ural region of Russia.

In this event, hundreds of young athletes and their parents will see TOA, and some TOA prizes will be given to winners as well. If succesful, we will apply to bring TOA to all national Russian ENCOUNTER events, then more countries will be added.

Its really heartwarming especially everyone for all your support and trust with TOA. We hope to work on balance between completing our projects and marketing.

The guys have a lot of work. I represent Russia. I make TOA popular in my country. Believe they have a lot of work. China-Philippines-Malaysia-Korea and other countries. and 20 sat price is now. let's see how much it will cost))

This is a gift for you for 20 sat.

Nice!
Many cryptos had issue recently to publish apps on IOS. this gives us an advantage...

The issue is that most coins drive on speculation for their price. Speculation and hype. Buy the rumor, sell the news.
Investors invest into coins that MIGHT innovate an existing standard, therfor skyrocket the price at some point.

Those are all traits that TOA doesnt have. It doesnt hype, there is not much to speculate since TOA just follows the roadmap as promised and TOA doesnt reinvent stuff but just make real world adaption. Thats why its not interesting for speculation driven investors to put any significant amounts into it. And so the price is always low.

The only next speculation would be the release of the TOAbooking website.

From a real business perspective, TOA does everything right for a longterm existance. even if blockchain should fail, TOA will continue to exist with their business model and thats what they strive for. their approach is down to earth and practical. One example for practicality is the TOA android wallet app. Its quite difficult to put and maintain a blockchain or electrum on a smartphone. What did TOA do? they made an app, that is more like a browser to the existing web wallet. Yes, you can not stake because of that or have it decentralized, but it works. the user wont even realize the difference and profits from a smooth user experience. Its exacly how i would have made it. it guarantees low maintenance efforts and easy use.

Oh, another speculation possibility would be the big travel competition that TOA applied for.

FYI in case you are first time user of electrum

I noticed that you cant just take the wallet.dat file from your regular wallet to check your balance in an electrum wallet. Upon googling (havent found a TOA specific guide though), i figured out, that its normal. You have to either transfer your TOA by regular transaction to the newly generated wallet by electrum or you extract your private seed from the regular wallet and use the RESTORE function in electrum to import it.

If im wrong and there is a way, please correct me and explain how to. Always good to learn new stuff hehe

Very nice interface, looks great! Are you going to add "Rich List" also? Other thing is it seems this coin explorer does not seem to show staking transactions correctly.
