https://alt.market/https://qtrade.io/loginhttps://freiexchange.com/FAQs- What are IAO’s?
IAOs bear many of the same traits as traditional Initial Coin Offerings and cryptocurrency launches, with certain exceptions. Most notably is that every token offering is an officially licensed, US government recognized commodity, reducing the amount of due diligence required for risk assessment to zero. Every single offering within this ecosystem can be done on U.S soil. Value analysis of IAOs is reduced to two primary categories: economic variables (What Artist exclusives the coin grants you, amount of coins available, amount raised etc.) and price discovery. Artist exclusives can be specific merchandise, backstage passes, a mention on stage, whatever the artist desires.
All offerings will accept USD, BTC, and ETH. When trading begins, the sole trading pair of the IAO is TAO, meaning all value is contained in the TAO network.
You can read more about IAO’s here:
https://tao.network/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/XTORoadmapv0.4.pdf- Does Tao have masternodes?
Currently, Tao has scheduled masternodes when the network needs it. The code has been included since the original release in 2016 but is currently disabled until a forthcoming update. Masternodes earn even more of a passive income than Proof of stake, but we want to keep them accessible.
-What is “The Diamond Club”
For owners of 100,000 or more Tao, a special verification page allows owners to prove their holdings with signatures generated in the desktop wallet. Verified 'diamonds' are set to receive personalised merchandise and access to exclusive events. Other levels of participation may become available in due course and more information will be available about the programme during 2019.
