[ANN][TAO] Tao, AltMarket & FanMix - Real Solutions for the Music Industry!

[gembitz]

FanMix.com went live a few days ago. Currently you can sign up for an invite to create either a fan account or an artist account, with the full service rolling out over the next 90 days or so. There's more info coming, but here is the initial announcement Bryce posted via Medium about FanMix:

https://medium.com/fanmix/a-new-experience-for-artists-and-fans-c7d3e42b5787

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?

Update: AltMarket has added some new markets including LTC, BCH, and USDT:

 

when BTI i hear Rick Rubin is lurking in the shadows...! weeee

To the confused people/trolls who've made this kind of comment about low volume:

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.

I my view, Altmarket is a complete scam! I sent 280usd worth of ETH to their exchange and bought TAO coins with that amount! Now, only 36TAO show in my balance, which is only a couple of dollars worth...
Trying to resolve this over two month of corespondence through their support (Bryce Weiner) was an absolute nightmare...
I will try to expose them everywhere I can!

In addition to the two Tao community hardware projects I've posted about before (quoted below) OG community member PPMcGhee/Caleb Hawk has now managed to mod his Nintendo Switch to run the Tao wallet and turn the Switch into a staking device! 


(note he accidentally refers to the Switch as a Raspberry Pi in the video because he was tired and he's been building staking Pi's for people, but you can see the Switch in the video)

Here's his post about it on Twitter, including the video:

And here's a mirror of the video:

Very cool!

There is now a Tao Docker image you can use to very easily set up a Tao staking node on Docker:

https://github.com/taoblockchain/docker-tao

If you have a Raspberry Pi you can set it up as a staking node with this script created by a community member:

https://github.com/ppmcghee/EasyPiTaoWallet

The same community member has been taking orders and building these nice RPi stake boxes with built in touch screens. Here's a pic of one acting as a mobile device, staking while running off battery.




The next version will include a solar panel/battery combo - turn sunlight into money.

There's another interesting hardware project that I believe is about to ship to some Tao community members. It's the project of Reboot Technology, who was already close to finishing it when he joined us in the slack, but he decided he wanted to include a staking Tao node on the device. I think he's using the auto-build script I linked to upthread to streamline his production process.

What a waste of a Switch!!! 

Mom: What are you gonna do with your new Nintendo, son? Play Super Smash Brothers with your friends in different countries?

Son: Nope, I'm gonna stake a valueless shitcoin.

still waiting on the commodore 64 wallet    meh

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/

What a fucking charlatan.

Don't be so hard on yourself, man. You can change. 

[Seville]

anything new with this project? Surprised it still even exists in some form.. a CMC price listing would be nice

[kosmont]

Is this a yet another shitcoin or no?

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?

Dude. The entire thing was a ruse from the beginning. You got Wiener'd.

The ridiculous thing is Wiener will strike yet again, and there will be a new round of fresh moron shills bordering on the edge of criminality to back him up.

How many more bitcoins are you tards going to give this professional scam artist?

[Samwise_smells_a_scam]

Whoever the "mysterious crypto whale" was who agreed to buy however many million TAOs back whenever it was on Twitter can't be too happy with the massive losses they've incurred since.

Meant to post this yesterday.

Desantis bought 1% of all the Tao that exists, he has partners that want I don't know specifically how many million Tao. They haven't bought it yet, not that I expect you to be in command of anything resembling facts. 

Here's Desantis' take on why he wants in on Tao.




He gets it.

You don't. 

You're going to be soooooooo mad at yourself.   

this aged well

wowwwwww, holy fuck.  gonna copy/paste so everyone can read this and then tell tell us we're just trolls, "whining" about TAO and giving bryce an unfair shake:

"Listen, I don’t want to get all in the weeds here so I will say this.  The crypto project that I was involved with burned my artist, the legacy estate, and my company.  They stole from all of us and are continuing to use the brand without permission.  Do your homework.  #fraud"

Damn, that's hardcore crazy! Good find!



We need a DT member to tag Wiener's account, all his alts, and whatever other freelance pieces of shit were marketing this abortion.

Wiener will probably get away with yet another crypto crime. Un fucking believable. People are so dumb its sad.

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.









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 are you linking to a speeding ticket? 

try again Bryce - better hope no one pays the $20 to see who else you steal from

 

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. 

FYI state of KY still looking for Bryce

Really interesting roadmap.  I wonder who the well known companies in the cryptocurrency space that are helping to build this project are.   
So Tao is in partnership with Interscope records?
Are some of these celebrities pictured in the roadmap going to publicly  endorse Tao?

Endorse?  Oh no no no....

The celebrities featured in the roadmap are ALREADY under contract.  We used their likenesses because we already have the rights to do so.

What about this obvious lie?

Allow me to be SUPER CLEAR.

Those celebrities involved with XTO are not compensated.  Quite the opposite, they are our CLIENTS.

LMAO "clients" ha! your shit coin is barely worth $0.02
