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://qtrade.io/market/TAO_BTCHope that helps.
