I think alpha nodes are deliberately not turned on yet? I think I read that somewhere, maybe on the slack.
Yes they have never been enabled. The info is on here and has been said on the slack.
So much for "you are all part of the network".
I know a shitcoin when I see one, and this is one. Do yourself a favor Bryce Weiner, do not get music-companies involved with TAO, they will sue you for every penny you got after they realize you only delivering shit slow shitcoins which don't even trade on real exchanges.
I did take a round to speak with exchange-operators to see if there was anything I could do to get listing, but apparently Bryce Weiner, you have threatened people so badly in the past, that frankly unless you sincerely apologize to them in person, they will never do business with you again ever. And since you are too proud to admit any mistakes, I assume this project will just be another "PandaCoin".
My suggestion - Set up an ICO BuyBack wall and buy it all back, call it a non-profit that failed, Kill the Chain and let us all move on with projects that are more serious and capable then this project will ever be.
Thanks for your suggestions. You've not actually done any research on this project or the coin, which is evidenced by your attempt to activate a feature which has been repeatedly stated has been disabled. There hasn't been any community organization to activate it, so one might assume the only one who currently is upset about this is you. You're welcome to activate the feature if you have the requisite knowledge. Please create a pull request and I shall review your changes for fitness. It is open source, after all.
There's also two sides to this project which serves each audience we intend to serve. I'm quite okay if the crypto audience thinks the project is shit. We've not really provided any information as to what we've been up to, and that is 100% by design. That's how real FOMO happens.
The other side of this project is covered under a thick layer of NDAs with our business partners, many of whom you already use even if you know it or not. That's the music side of things. We conquered all the technology issues a year ago. We've had evidence of this in the blockchain since October of last year, and most projects attempting to do the same things are still thrilled at their seven figure ICO raise and don't have a real clue how to solve problems for the music industry.
Most projects in the crypto space for music that people love are complete steaming piles of shit. They will never be used by anyone serious about their careers. There are only three projects with a hope of being used by professionals: Ujo, Tao, and dotBC. The rest are complete crap, if not outright illegal.
Feel free to quote me on that. I'll be giving a panel discussion in NYC w/ the CEO of Ujo Music on Sept 27th and will be saying much the same thing.
