It's like you've read nothing in this thread or on my site that you mentioned. If you have you clearly don't see how this all fits together. It needs all of the pieces and no single one of them is "the thing" I guess you were expecting.
FanMix is up and running with an affiliate system in place and working. The entire point is to let fans monetize their fandom by referring other fans or referring bands who aren't on the platform yet.
The bands raise money, the fans earn, and if at least $10,000 is raised in an album pre-sale then the artists get their own branded crypto token. And all of the fans who pledged/pre-ordered their album get the coins too.
Then they can either hold them as "proof of fan," sell them on the market, or buy up more. All artist coins will only be traded with TAO as the base for the pair.
A portion of all money spent on FanMix is used to buy up Tao off the USD market on AM, part of which is held and staked and part is paid out for the affiliate system. This provides automatic buy price support the more artists and fans use the platform.
Everything is built, up, and running. The exchange. The fan site. The affiliate system.
The first artist is going to be announced any time. That's all that's left to wait for.
Why would I consider it a lost cause after all of that? Crazy.
It's too much of an impressive train wreck to ignore completely, so I get back every couple of weeks to just look at the empty sites and exchanges. There's a somewhat impressive bot presence on AltMarket though, I'll give you that, but it's a
bit too obvious. As in, it would take a moron to believe that any trades at all happens between actual humans.
I mean, five people (which is what I'd guess the altmarket "community amounts to) putting in all their spare time and money can certainly achieve impressive things, but that would require honesty and integrity, especially from the project lead. And you're not getting that from Bryce. And with your nice little deceptive link in the sig, I doubt the "community" would be better off with you at the helm.
It's grifters all the way down. I hope no more semi-honest artists or promoters are stupid enough to fall into your hands, after what happened with ODB and Draper.
All you have is baseless attacks on people's character.
The exchange doesn't have much volume yet, what relevance? If you bothered reading my posts and try to understand it without your kneejerk "sCamMeRz!1" mindset, you'd understand.
All the pieces are in place. The exchange. The fan site.
Most of the people who have Tao don't want to sell it. So little volume. CMC doesn't list it, so people can't find it. So no volume.
In the mean time, new coins are being added and traders come with those communities. Which brings volume.
The volume will come from FanMix. Album sales and pledges from fans on FanMix bring volume.
CMC lists it. More people trade. More volume.
Bigger US exchanges offshore like Poloniex, or have other legal woes over the next several months. People need a place to trade. Here's AltMarket, fully regulatory compliant. CEO has friendly meetings with members of congress and the SEC. Safe trading.

And so on.
Step by step. Slow and steady.

Eventually the slow learners will get it.
