What are the diamond club benefits these days? Ever get those guitar picks or t-shirt?  I'm considering inviting myself into the club at 5 satoshi. that will be down only about 99.62% from where I exited.... A reasonable short!  Cheesy

I heard that leadership in this project is now highly democratized and super open to hearing new ideas and outside perspectives  Grin  Gonna see about getting back on the Slack channel today; you guys are gonna love having me back in the inner circle!  Cool

So is a swap still possible in future?

...I still try to sync the old wallet.

Yes, it will be possible to swap on your own for the foreseeable future. I'll quote the info I posted upthread below, but first let me paste in a link to a recent backup copy of the Tao blockchain. You can unzip this file and put the contents into your Tao folder in Application Data (Mac) or AppData\Roaming (Windows), making sure to keep your wallet.dat file, and it will speed the sync up a LOT.

http://backchains.s3.amazonaws.com/Tao.zip

Hope that helps. Here is the swap info:


The Exodus web app is now available. Exodus allows someone to automatically swap their old TAO to the new TAO chain and get the 15% bonus coins.

https://tao.network/tao-1-0-migration-tool-now-live/


The source repo for Exodus is here: https://github.com/taoblockchain/exodus

And the swap app itself is here: https://exodus.tao.network/

Some of the other Tao community members and I tested Exodus with Bryce recently and we were able to swap coins successfully. However, to be on the safe side it is still recommended to test swapping a few coins first before sending your entire balance.  

You will need to install MetaMask in your browser and create a wallet to receive the coins: https://metamask.io

And you will need to configure MetaMask with the Tao RPC settings, which are:

Network name: Tao Network
RPC URL: https://rpc.tao.network
Chain ID: 558
Currency symbol: TAO
Explorer: https://scan.tao.network

Let me know if you have any questions!

i have some tao v1 coins am i still able to exchange my coins, or is all of my money lost, i just didn't follow the coin for quite some time
and where am i even able to trade the coin?

Your money is not lost. The on-exchange swaps were done a while ago, but there is a bridge app coming. Ming, the set of APIs which I mentioned in my last post upthread, will be used for the voting/governance app as well as the bridge app which will let you swap your coins yourself.

I don't have an exact ETA but my impression is it will be ready soon, probably a little later this month from what it sounds like. I'll update the thread and the @TaoBlockchain twitter account will have the info, too.

What you'll be able to do is go to a webpage and use the MetaMask browser extension, link a new Tao2 wallet in MM to the site, then send your old Tao to the swap address the site will generate and you'll get the new coins deposited automatically to your MM wallet.

I'll be updating the thread with a link when I have it.

Tao (new chain) is traded on two exchanges currently:

https://exchange.alt.market/trade/view/tao_btc
and
https://qtrade.io/market/TAO_BTC

Hope that helps.

Gotta say I'm impressed with your """""""audit and maintenance""""""" procedures. They have to be hella thorough to stretch for over two weeks! I guess 16 is "a few" if you're used to the Weiner approach to promises and timetables though.

I'm sure it's fine though, and that there's no connection at all to the price hitting ATL on qtrade.

Gotta say I'm impressed with your constant focus on this project. Milk rage quit and gifted some coins in the process. There's no correlation between the two outside of your persistent fever dreams.

Festina lente. Looking forward to altseason in 2021  Wink

The masternode voting app is up next. This will initially be run from a command line, but will eventually have a web interface as well.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Reminder that if you have the OG Bitcoin-derived version of Tao there is a coin swap to the Ethereum-derived DPOS network happening on Sunday August 30.



Deposit your coins to Exchange.Alt.Market or to qTrade.io before the 30th to have them swapped for you. There will be an alternative option later if you miss the window.

The relaunch comes with a complete overhaul of the AltMarket. The web guys apparently made the new AM live ahead of schedule today and I took a couple of screenshots:







OK! The wait is finally over  Smiley

The AltMarket v2 and the TAO relaunch & coin swap is happening on Sunday, August 30


https://twitter.com/_altmarket/status/1297972682927902720

This will bring a complete UI & backend overhaul for AltMarket, including the new API which will enable DEX integration and a market maker tradebot among other features.

At the same time, any TAO deposited beforehand will be swapped for you to the new EVM-based Tao network forked (via Tomochain) from Ethereum, bringing all of the Ethereum features with cheaper TX fees, 3x faster confirmation times, and profitable DPOS masternodes.

The coin swap will also be done for you if you have your coins on qTrade.io, and if you miss the exchange swap window you'll still have the ability to use a smart contract to swap later.

Whichever place you swap, you'll also get 15% more coins for free. Good things come to those who wait. Cool

Wednesday October 28, 2020 update:

Bryce has published the repo for Ming, an Infura-like set of APIs which provide a view into data on the Tao blockchain including tokens and contracts:

https://github.com/Tao-Network/ming

It's still in development, but the practical upshot is it brings us something Bryce has talked about for years, which is SQL database compatibility for not just Tao, but any Ethereum style blockchain. So Tao and other compatible networks become "enterprise ready," which makes any blockchain which uses Ming much more appealing for corporate adoption.

And unlike Infura, which can be expensive, "you can run Ming on spare equipment."

IPFS support will be added soon,
Quote
"This allows folks to issue tokens and then add the logo to IPFS and then indicate the IPFS location of the image in the extra data of the smart contract, making the logo available to the entire ecosystem

this is also how things like cryptokitties works

which… by the way… we’re working on our own version"


The voting/governance app needed to run and make money from a masternode, or to vote for one, hasn't been released yet because Ming was being built and it will form the basis of the voting app. The bridge app for those people who didn't participate in the swap done on AltMarket and qTrade will also be built using Ming and was described:
Quote
"How the migration website will work is you will login w/ your tao-enabled metamask and then be presented with a unique deposit address.  you send your coins to the deposit address and you’ll get tao deposited into your MetaMask

imma rearrange the order of things and get the migration site online before the governance dapp so everyone has the opportunity to start staking and run masternodes at the same time"

Quick update for October 16. Looks like I forgot to post that the qTrade swap did happen as planned and went smoothly. qTrade is also now running a Tao masternode.
The voting app which allows masternode owners to load their funds on the node to earn, and for other Tao holders to pledge their coins as delegates to/vote for a masternode is forthcoming. I think the last piece beyond that is the AltMarket tradebot API integration.

Per Bryce, "We are at the point where there is almost nothing further necessary to fulfill our mission except to advertise for liquidity. That’s it."

We also saw a brief mention of Tao in a Bloomberg Crypto article on DeFi:

Oct 17th edit:
Techspot also did an article on DeFi and mentioned Tao

Its a shame that TAO and Binance could not come to agreement to create alliance in Japan.

A Binance presence in Japan would have been a very big impact for the Global exchange.

bitFlyer is my favorite exchange to use in Japan right now.

Just thought you might want to know that the trading bots are back on altmarket, while actual humans are still in short supply.

Oh, and the post-swap price bump on qTrade is also gone.

Tues Sept. 8th edit:  qTrade.io has now confirmed the 10th as the swap date. Previous dates mentioned below were tentative. This looks definite.


The swap on the AltMarket was done over the weekend as planned, alongside with the very nice AM upgrade. qTrade.io looks like they'll be swapping on the 5th, so you have that option still, and if you miss that window you'll still be able to do it yourself using a forthcoming dapp.

Edit: PPMcGhee in the slack, who has been talking with qTrade about the swap, just posted that it'll be a few more days before they do it so you have a little more time. 15% bonus coins for anyone swapping from the old to the new chain will be honored by them as well.

August 29th, 2020 reminder:

Today is the last day to deposit your Tao v1 coins to

https://exchange.alt.market

to have them swapped for Tao v2 coins.  


https://qTrade.io

Will also be doing a swap but I'm updating this post to clarify because I hear they haven't confirmed the date yet. I'll update the thread when I know a definite date.

Either exchange will give you an extra 15% coins during the swap. Yes, even if you buy them today.

If you miss the window you'll have a second option to swap them via DApp and you'll still get the bonus 15% so don't worry if you miss the window, but depositing and letting one of these two official exchanges take care of it for you is recommended.   Smiley

Is the swap already done? I have some Tao v1 coins.

Best Regards

Thought I'd pop in again and see how it goes.

Not surprised to see there's still no progress on basically anything.

So this major switch that was supposed to happen during.. March, was it? Now has had a number of updates and delays, with the latest set date being Bryce saying that it was going to happen "this month" back in July, still nothing, right?

As usual, I'm sure there A Good Explanation why nothing ever happens and why the deadlines are Just Around The Corner still.

In a world built on empty promises and hot air, this is still an impressively stark void of a project.

(By the way, the much-touted FinCEN number doesn't match any MSB register data, and the Colorado Alt Market for which there is a FinCEN number is corporation that's voluntarily dissolved since March of last year...)

If I ever run for political office, I will pay whatever it takes to get ACG to run my campaign. I really gotta give him respect for such a rock solid, unwavering display of loyalty, even if I don't think that is a good way to be...can't help but admire a man of principles.

ACG would march into the ninth circle of hell for bryce, and I can't quite tell if he's simply shilling for the promise of profit, or if he truly is the most loyal man alive. I'm leaning towards the latter, to be honest.

cheers, bud

Well, I'm not for hire, but thanks.  Smiley I wouldn't call it loyalty to Bryce per se; I just see enough of the bigger picture of how all the individual pieces will fit together and I think it will be successful. I know people in the music industry and they're hurting right now and so I hope that Fanmix + artist tokens will help.

Anyway, Bryce and some of the other guys in the community and I have been working on getting our first masternodes set up and ironing out bugs in the process. After some false starts, I finally have mine up and running which you can see on the stats page below. Should be obvious which is mine:

https://stats.tao.network/

The docs need some updating now that we have a working process for mn setup, so that's what I'm helping out with next.

I was playing with the Tomochain wallet app, which I think the forthcoming Tao mobile app will be based on. Looking forward to checking it out once it's available in the app store. I'll post more updates here when I have them, as usual.
