You think I'm Bryce. 😂😂🤣

You're fucking hilarious and so confused. You will be SO mad when you realize how much of a dumbass you are.

Yes, I'm tired enough of your foolishness that I'm resorting to name calling. Deal with it. Roll Eyes

I'll just note that you've in no way responded to the actually substance of the post.

Yes, this project has an unfortunate tendency to be consistently juuuuust ahead of a major break-out. Just stick around a little more, buy or fund a little more stuff, wait a little longer. We'll SOON be mooning. And then have a completely undeserved spat of bad luck due to circumstances completely out of your control. It's the SEC, it's the exchanges, it's your clients, it's the market, it's the hired developers, it's the partners, it's the community not doing enough or doing the wrong thing or moving in the wrong direction. You never do anything wrong. You're always ahead of the curve, the smartest people around, massively influential and just need the rest of the world to see your brilliance.

Meanwhile, you tend to consistently misrepresent the progress and/or history of the project, by claiming that the raising of $100k instead of $30M was intentional, that all sorts of things were intentionally built as "experiments" or "proofs-of-concept" rather than, well, just not working or being good ideas in the first place. That AltMarket will be coming SOON, when it must have been completely obvious even at the time that it was no where near finished (July 4th? Really?).

As for the Tao-exclusivity of future sales - that doesn't sound like it would help sales? Why would any artist agree to tie themselves to the price of a basically untraded cryptocurrency? Why would fans go through the hassle of getting TAO instead of just joining a fanclub or Patreon or something similar?

What makes you think that AltMarket could handle the sudden influx of volume when it can't even get up and running in the first place?

Your "substance" was directed at Bryce, so why would I answer it? I am not Bryce. I haven't misrepresented anything at any point. I have no insider information; I relay what I read in the slack and or the discord so people who are not there know the latest info. My statements are all phrased carefully to indicate the level of certainty I have about the details of whatever I'm relaying, if you can't pick up on that nuance that's not my problem.

The initial coin sales are not, to my knowledge [see the language I use to indicate my level of understanding of what I'm talking about?] going to be restricted to Tao. That is only in the open market afterwards when Tao becomes the base for trading pairs. This is the same as BTC. People want to buy an alt, they need BTC. Same thing. The'll be able to buy it right there on AM using their bank accounts and then buy ODBcoin or whatever. And it can be an automated trade with a simplified interface so they just type in how many USD they want to spend to buy an artist's coin and the dollars are converted to Tao and then to the artist coin without them even seeing it.

Currently anyone participating in a coin sale can hook their bank account up to the site via Plaid and use their local fiat currency (USD and I think CAD for now) as well as BTC and ETH to purchase the coin like ODBcoin. I bought some and it was very simple, as it should be to be easy for non-crypto people which I'll remind you is the target audience.

Why would they use Patreon? Because the fans will want to buy what the artist is selling, so if the artist says AltMarket, or ODBcoin.com or Patreon, that's where they go. Is that not obvious? I mean, really?

Virtual servers can be scaled. And obviously in the proposed scenario of a sudden influx of volume, it would be up and running, so good for you. You've opened your mind to the reality of what's to come. You're getting there. Cheesy

Then comes the next question - Why would artist use a service that apparently eats half their earnings for a worse user experience, when Kickstarter and Patreon charge way less for less hassle?

I think that's a somewhat apples to oranges comparison because they work a bit differently, but I tell you what. Bryce has just announced there's going to be a Hangout on Friday night and he's invited me and a few of the other community members to join in. If the livestream doesn't answer your questions, I'll do my best in a reply here over the weekend.

I'll post more details about it later when I have them.
