"Famous scammers" go to jail in the United States.
Stop being ridiculous with this nonsense.
If you have never accomplished, built, or done anything in your life, and you call Bryce a scammer, you're the worst kind of parasite.
The people that hide behind anonymity and slander people's names with the shout of "scammer", YOU are the ones preventing cryptocurrency from going mainstream.
YOU are the reason "real people" want nothing to do with crypto.
Stop "warning people" with all your bullshit, because at the end of the day you're nothing but shitty character assassins. If you lost money from DAO or Ethereum because you didn't do your due diligence and threw your money at a 19 year old coder, that is your fault for being stupid. If you have no ability to tell what is a "good project", and just judge based on the crowd, stop calling yourself an "investor", because you're nothing but a "gambler".
I get so sick of seeing this slanderous bullshit.

"The team has had a famous scammer Bryce Weiner"

This is also interesting:
https://youtu.be/0dX18EZKiyk?t=1h9m40s
Bryce says, that TAO is basically PoS with a very tiny PoW. They talk about the security and immutability of the network and about the possibility that somebody could buy > 50% of TAO. And B.W. claims, that it's impossible to buy 51% of the network, no matter how much money - but that it would be "improper" to point that out.
And, of course, usually it's impossible if a team, maybe plus friends, already own at least 51% of the total supply. And his interviewer asks him directly if he is speaking about self-buying - and Bryce doesn't answer, just smiles.
Besides the fact that there is no escrow for this ICO and they already spend ICO-money, it's also not necessary to explain further what he is implying there.
And it's even more interesting in the context of what he said before:
"Selfbuying-shit-coin-pump-and-dump? The answer is no!"
https://youtu.be/0dX18EZKiyk?t=38m45s
But the answer seems to be "yes" if it's impossible to buy > 50% no matter of how much money. If this will already start as a centralized system it doesn't make any sense. It would be a total contradiction of it's purpose and what they claim what it's about and meant for.
If somebody thinks about investing in this, he/she should think about all that before and maybe asks some questions.

When I first saw this project I did some research on it but not fully convince they really know what they want to do. I still believe they have more questions begging for answers with the history of abandoning project which I can't really blame them for since we all know to hire a good developer doesn't come cheap and this boils down to capital if they don't have good investment to back them it will surely be difficult to finance. I was told even Ethereum that is one of the most successful ico's of recent was about to fail because of crash in the BTC value which was no anticipated for, but to have more than one abandoned project gives me a concern. I'm still sitting on the fence.

Hey guys,
Bought a small amount, it shows up on the ledger but not when i log in into the web wallet, is that normal?

Yes, lol. the amount we get is based on the total amount raise. so 30M/Amount raised. We will receive are coins once the crowd sale is over. Just write or print you private keys down for safety and hold on tight.
Cool thanks, was just used to some ico's showing a fluctuating value until the close of the ICO and the 0 tao made me wonder if something was wrong.

nice find, actually I see this project doesn't use the correct pinyin, which is "dao", not "tao" They are bad Chinese learners.
August 07, 2016, 10:32:08 PM
i see in your wp, TAO refers "道" in Chinese, but actually it pronounces as "dao"
now i refers "套“ which means bag. lol

ICO again?
Any developer can really milk a lot of USD by just launching an ICO every month. Run away after taking the money. Hire someone to develop the coin for them and that's it. Good luck.

Oof, another Weinercoin... Will be tough to invest given past track record of abandoning projects when setbacks were encountered.
Thanks for bringing this up!
I've been involved in this industry for a few years now and my work as perceived on these forums rarely matches reality.
What I can say beyond a doubt that every single project I have ever engaged in has been a free, open launch. Further, those efforts were engaged either as a paid contract, a startup, or implementing another's vision.
This is the first project that is truly my own and I appreciate the opportunity to clear that up on these forums as I've mentioned it repeatedly in interviews and appearances.
Exactly that will be interesting to watch. Everybody who is in Crypto since some time knows that it always was part of the game that you never really was responsible - and the list is long, right?
And now you're already moving and spending funds before the ICO even has ended. That's ridiculous. But bashing Factom while they are an example for being correct with ICO-money. Until now they've not touched more than 1/3 of their ICO-money while working hard to meet their three Milestones (Because you are questioning that they've produced something: https://github.com/FactomProject/ or https://www.factom.com/blog/ ), but you're right: They don't work with the Nigerian government, at least not that I know of, but in Honduras - while you are also involved in Bitland.
What did you say once?
Nov 04 15:12:12 <%Cogburn> I make money from thin air. I don't need all that shit.
Nov 04 15:12:21 <%Cogburn> I can just do it myself.
(...)
Nov 04 15:39:21 <%Cogburn> Still the cleanest, most ethical guy in crypto.
Nov 04 15:39:24 <%Cogburn> Deal with it.

it's normal because bryce has already spent your ICO money on big mac's and supreme tacos. lots of them.
"and we are moving money and we are spending money on stuff!"

TAO is actually TACO. your bitcoins are redeemed for TACO's.
