The details are that
a) everything is public knowledge, and
b) Coinbase is aware of this dispute because
c) in August of 2014 I took estate funds and invested them in Bitcoin with the permission of the co-administrator.

I haven't gone back just yet to correct the record, but then Bitcoin has only just now crossed $5,000.  

funny the because the estate says you stole estate funds, but again, that's a matter of public record - go ahead and say whatever bullshit you gotta say conman.

The record says that I was administrator of the estate at the time, and as a result could not have stolen anything.  Your characterization is typical crypto FUD or ignorance of how the law works or both.

Sorry, spin it anyway you want.

But anyway I guess it's to people who invest in you to decide if a lawsuit is fud.

I'm not spinning anything.

I think you're projecting.  That's kinda my point.

Edit to add: As I've been responding here I've been conducting an AMA in XTO slack on this topic.  Those are the most interested parties including our ICO investors and business partners.  You're welcome to join us.  The link is in the OP.

Erm, that's not an exchange. Its not even a spreadsheet.

I didn't look on the c-cex exchange, I looked on coinmarketcap.

OK whatever, Weiner's next weinercoin, luck to you about that. I won't spam here anymore.

You are the one who will buy when it hits $2.

We thank you for your sacrifice.

Wow man, you are as delusional as ever. The greatest thing you could ever hope to accomplish is to remove yourself from the cryptocurrency space. That is the most possible good you could ever do for humanity. All of your coins end up the same way: broken down, abandoned. Why would anybody trust you now?

PS: Your latest shitcoin plunged another 8% today

Dunno man, I've got 31 connections in my wallet. 🤔

Let's see what happens after the exchange launches next month with Wu Tang hyping it.

I bet on slack you don't find out Bryce fleeced lil ODB and his business partners

OK sure buddy. You can bet they're going to find out you're so obsessed/enamored with Bryce that you went through dozens of pages of posts to dredge up non-issues that were answered years ago. You are so sad.  

I'll be posting a series of short ~2 minute videos which I've also been posting on twitter. The first one is part of an interview with Bryce where he shares the story of how he became the first person from the cryptocurrency industry to lobby congress, as well as what happened when he was invited to speak with the SEC.

Why did Hakim Draper drop out of the project?  was he the connection to the ODB estate?  
Whats the reason for the pivot away from celebrity endorsed tokens?  it seems like the mission of fanmix is to onboard indie artists, right?

Seems like Hakim had stepped back for a while for personal reasons Bryce didn't specify to me when I asked about it 2-3 days ago in a DM. But since then Hakim apparently posted - and since deleted - that tweet because he didn't like the fact that Bryce was now dealing directly with ODB's estate instead of through him.

The plan is not really a pivot it's just there are many steps, and the first steps with FanMix is to onboard indie artists. Bigger artist come later.

Keep in mind the big artists will naturally want to see it working before they're willing to commit, and in a lot of cases have to get the OK from their representation which is not an issue for unsigned artists.

Sorry, as an indie musician myself with label releases, supporters all around the world, and lots of contacts with other artists, its clear that bryce has no idea how different "fans" of indie artists are from fans of mainstream celebrity acts.  indie artists have to go where the fans are, not the other way around.  so the only way this hair-brained scheme would work is if celebrity acts brought consumers to the platform first so indie artists could play for them.  furthermore, fans are extremely fickle; an exclusive release from Jay Z himself couldn't get people to use Tidal over what they were already on.  and even if this idea would work, how could you possibly think a quality, functional product will be delivered after seeing how bad (and dead!) altmarket is?  #delusional

Second video interview segment, this one talks about Bryce's business partner Peter Rafelson, who among other things is the co-writer of the Madonna song "Open Your Heart" and the son of director Bob Rafelson.  Peter brings deep music industry connections to the project.

Updates on Tao, AltMarket & FanMix for October 7th, 2019


First off, we welcome Brady McKenna to the Tao fam. Brady worked for Coinbase for four years and is about as OG as you can get, being involved in crypto since 2011:






FanMix.com launches officially in just over a week!  Reminder for those who missed it:

New article aimed at music artists on how to prepare a campaign on FanMix.com

https://link.medium.com/qcEy9eKNiZ

The term "IAO" or "Initial Artist Offering" isn't used in the article, but that's what Bryce is talking about here. Remember, as mentioned in the earlier posts I've quoted below, pledges from music fans and all money spent by fans on FanMix will result in automated market buys of Tao off of AltMarket. AM/FM  

Some more details on http://fanmix.com/






So in a nutshell, Fanmix will let fans pledge funds or buy merchandise and every dollar spent on the artist will earn them "rewards points" which are actually crypto tokens.  Fans don't need to know anything about crypto or even know that's what they're getting.

Dollars spent on fanmix.com will trigger automatic market buys of Tao off of AltMarket, leading to volume and steady buy pressure.

Tao bought off the market will be held off-market and staked, leading to less available supply.

Artist tokens will be tradable on AltMarket, exclusively against Tao. They have a LOT of artists already, including big names.

I hope that you know where that all leads to.  

You can make money if you refer a band or artist to Fanmix. Decentralized music producers?

Volume will come after FanMix.com users start generating it by spending money on their favorite artists, no need for crypto traders, no need to fake anything.  Unlike most cryptos, including BTC.

Oct. 15 update:  FanMix is about to launch and announce their first band within the next day or so.

I did a write-up on Reddit about why I see so much potential in what Bryce and co. have been working on:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMoonShots/comments/di5ptw/3_years_of_milestones_for_tao_culminating_with/

TIL one of the high end premiums offered by the first band for the top pledgers will be a songwriting credit - something you keep in perpetuity, and which presumably means royalties down the road.

TIL one of the high end premiums offered by the first band for the top pledgers will be a songwriting credit - something you keep in perpetuity, and which presumably means royalties down the road. 

Paying a no-name band for a songwriting credit -- nothing disingenuous about that at all. 

What on earth is "disingenuous" about a band *choosing to offer* a songwriting credit to a very select number of fans who pay the amount of money the band decides is fair, helping significantly to fund their album, gaining the fan a songwriting credit in return?   

And the band in question isn't no-name, they have an established fanbase. They're just not signed with a record label, and likely won't feel the pressure to do now that they have an alternate way to fund their music.

is that how Rafelson got his name on a Madonna track?

[ACGCrypto]

is that how Rafelson got his name on a Madonna track?

No, Peter got it by writing the original song, recording a demo, then having a friend let him into the studio in the middle of the night to add his song to a studio recording of Madonna's songs. This story is mentioned in this short video which gives background on Peter and his Hollywood and music industry connections:

https://twitter.com/taoblockchain/status/1174119584804175873

and here is a link to the Billboard Podcast episode where Peter is interviewed. He goes into a lot of detail about how exactly he pulled it off, and how it helped launch his career. The interview starts about 30 minutes in and is pretty interesting. You should check it out!

I wanted to take a moment and address some of the rumors that have been going around.

Yes, we are working with multi-platinum songwriter for Britney Spears and Madonna, Peter Rafelson.  His platform DigiRAMP.com is everything that one needs to license and manage rights to sound recordings.

Yes, we gave a panel where Pandora attended in the audience.

Yes, we went out to lunch and had a great conversation.  We got all the information we needed to build a product that can integrate directly into Pandora's existing systems.

Yes, the Tao project is operating under the commercial banner of Infiniti Music, registered in California.

All that being said, we knew how long it would take to bring all the players together in the music industry and have their voices heard.  For as much progress as we've made, there's still a bit of road to travel.

A blockchain is best secured by competing interests aligned around the survival of the data the blockchain contains.  Towards that end, we have been quietly seeking interest from various non-music industries in the technology stack we are developing. I'm proud to announce that we have received ADDITIONAL FUNDING to develop a SECOND USE CASE for ANOTHER INDUSTRY on the XTO blockchain.

These additional use cases will provide not only better security, but a greater value for those who hold the token.

A note on masternodes: we currently have them disabled because they will play a vital role in the final project. It requires some modification from the current system and we are holding off on that development until all our other questions have been answered.

Thanks for your support!  Please join our slack (linked in the OP) for real time updates!

So uh, whatever became of this?

What became of which part? Peter is still involved and just referenced upthread like two posts so I assume you're not asking about any of that.

Infiniti Music is still in play in the background of FanMix - you can see it named in the copyright notice in the footer of the site in fact.

There are at least one or two other non music industry use cases being developed including something in the cannabis industry, but I don't have any details since I'm not an equity holder.  Things will be announced when they're announced.

Masternodes are still disabled with the plan to activate them I think next year. I know Bryce wanted to wait until FanMix and all the major pieces were in play and seeing how that affected price before making a final decision about how many Tao would be needed to operate a masternode.

Hope that helps.



Edit:  Bryce posted this article today which talks about how you can earn money by helping musicians using FanMix's referral system

Minor update about FanMix posted yesterday in the new forum section of the site:

Band announcement was held back, but sounds like it will be any day now. Looking forward to seeing who it is and checking out the effect of the automated Tao market buys which will happen in response to sales of the album and other money spent on the FM site.

I think you've finally convinced me that you're not Bryce.

By having, in your sig, a link to an alternate fanmix "site" where all the links go to your referral link. I appreciate the grift, man, it's truly something Bryce would do - you've learned well - but he wouldn't do it on one of his own pages. That's a bit blatant, even for him.

I do wonder when all the blown deadlines and empty wastelands of websites are going to convince you that this whole thing is a lost cause, though. Honestly, could you give me an over/under how many people have joined and left, respectively, the tao/fanmix/altmarket conglomeration in the last, say, year or half year or so?

How many accounts do you have to troll this thread, anyway? I can't believe you still thought I was Bryce. You do seem really easily confused.

Anyway, I don't know why it would make sense to give up on the project at the last minute before the first FanMix band is announced. It's like you've read nothing in this thread or on my site that you mentioned. If you have you clearly don't see how this all fits together. It needs all of the pieces and no one of them is "the thing" I guess you're expecting.

FanMix is up and running with an affiliate system in place and working. The entire point is to let fans monetize their fandom by referring other fans or referring bands who aren't on the platform yet.

The bands raise money, the fans earn, and if at least $10,000 is raised in an album pre-sale then the artists get their own branded crypto token. And all of the fans who pledged/pre-ordered their album get the coins too.

Then they can either hold them as "proof of fan," sell them on the market, or buy up more. All artist coins will only be traded with TAO as the base for the pair.

A portion of all money spent on FanMix is used to buy up Tao off the USD market on AM, part of which is held and staked and part is paid out for the affiliate system. This provides automatic buy price support the more artists and fans use the platform.

Everything is built, up, and running. The exchange. The fan site. The affiliate system.

The first artist is going to be announced any time. That's all that's left to wait for.

Why would I consider it a lost cause after all of that? Crazy.
