Jan 9, 20201 update:
Shifu, the governance/masternode voting app is coming along and will be available later this month. In the mean time, a couple of the community members have activated their master nodes via Remix instead of waiting for Shifu and we're now earning rewards.
I'm in the middle of helping one guy set his first one up, and looks like I'll be helping a couple of others in a day or two. There are always dead weights in any alt community that only seem to complain and drag everybody down. It's a relief when they're gone and forgotten. I enjoy helping out the people who want to chip in though.
Anyway, looking forward to altseason now that all the pieces are just about in place. Timing's good once we clear the "depression" stage of the altcoin market cycle. So much salt right now.
Dead weight like exchange.alt.market? 'Cause that seems to have noped out permanently. Guess the 'audit' didn't work out too well.
Oh, and I just did a small check back, because it's always so funny to see just how slow this project moves compared to what's claimed: Did you know that the voting dApp ("Shifu") was originally considered to be part of the "minimum viability" step, which was promised for April of last year? It's true! I would not be so quick to trust it coming out "later this month", despite what anyone says. Especially someone who's able to look at the absolute sea of broken promises and years of basically no activity and decry any sceptics as "dead weight".
Edit: Also, I saw that Bryce is keeping up his lie about "intentionally" capping the crowdsale at $100k, which, of course, is a blatant lie which anyone with a modicum of archive diving skills easily can find out. I guess he's hoping no one will actually check.
Oh look, another boring post from one of the sockpuppet troll accounts. Funny how they always cluster together like they're coordinated or something. Maybe it's a coincidence. Whoever you are, you sure let Bryce and Tao occupy a lot of your headspace.
No, "dead weight" like people who constantly ask wen moon but don't do anything to actually help it along.
Anyway, the search on this site sucks so I can't find any mention of Shifu before this page. I took a glance back but didn't find much except a bunch of trolling from the account I'm replying to and the rest of you, however few are actually behind all the accounts. I guess I'll take your word on it.
I will give you no argument that Bryce is slow af but you're very silly for trying to claim there's been "basically no activity." I'm not going to belabor the point because this thread is 50% me posting updates and 50% a handful of troll accounts making asses of yourselves. For years.
But it's not like there's literally multiple links to examples of activity in my most recent posts.
So to post something more interesting than replying to time wasters, Bryce has been sharing screen shots of the ongoing development of the Shifu voting app, and there's been active discussion in the Tao2-Technical-Chat channel in Slack.
Anyone interested in current info about what's actually going on should join the channel, here's the signup link if you don't have it. No trolls
https://taonetwork.typeform.com/to/hnuAj0Here's one of the recent screen shots showing preliminary ROI info for the growing number of masternodes we've been setting up. It's a pretty big file so I'll just link to it to save bandwidth:
http://acgimg.s3.amazonaws.com/Tao-shifu-preview-2021-01-13.jpgIt's compiled scraping data using Ming, which is one of those pesky examples of activity that I've been assured don't exist or whatever.
Actually, I'm sure I'm imagining that I've been able to use the new network without issues; that I had my funds migrated over without problems as have many other people; that I've tested the migration web app others who haven't switched over yet can use; that I've installed the software on more than one server for myself and for others and it's run fine; that I've been able to fund a masternode using smart contracts and help others fund masternodes and earn rewards without issue; that I can see the active nodes when I look at the "nonexistent" scan.tao.network; I'm also just hallucinating the github commits on multiple repos as recent as about an hour ago!
And that's just the last few months of what I've apparently imagined.
Well, none of that happened or anything else. Guess I'll go and set up this masternode now for someone that probably is just my imagination!
