I would definitely recommend withdrawing your coins from qTrade to MetaMask or similar wallet.

The project stalled out due to lack of funds after the pandemic situation, while there's obviously no guarantees in life, there is something in the works that should bring in the needed funds to move ahead.

Only details I can give you at the moment is that it relates to this thread:

To use MetaMask you'll need to add a custom network. Use these settings:

RPC:
https://taorpc.mining.center

Chain ID:
558


You can also stake your coins by either setting up a masternode (100K coins required) or pledge them as delegates to an existing masternode using 

http://taoshifu.mining.center:9000/

Hope that helps!

I thought this was interesting, but I guess either I'm not allowed to think so, or it's somehow off-topic to consider an important update on the coin the thread is about to be interesting, since a moderator deleted my reply for some reason.

Anyway, I still think it's interesting and hope it plays out well for Uno if it's implemented. 

Hm. Interesting.

That's not my twitter feed

Imagine being so feverishly paranoid that you freak out over someone using the API for some low volume trades

Who are you talking to? Me? It seems like it because you refer to Bryce in your last sentence, and I'm the only person who posts updates here. Yet I have nothing to do with the operation of the exchange, so I don't know why you think I'd be able to "clean up" anything. 

And as for your typical psychological projection, I'm not trying to "get out" of anything. Yes, I'll sell a percentage of my XTO once the price gets to a high enough level, but only a minority percentage. After that the plan is to trickle some of my monthly income from it to pay bills, etc.

Most of my funds are tied up in a smart contract earning me more coins and I can't get them back for 75 days after canceling my masternode even if I wanted to. Which I have no plans to do.

So! Updates for June 14th, 2021 

Let's see. After a long wait, AltMarket should finally be returning in the next 24 hours. The AltMarket company has restructured and Kamal Hubbard (http://www.kamalrhubbard.com/) is the CEO; Bryce is now the CTO.

Kamal has recently published a book called DeFi for the Diaspora:

The two of them recently discussed Tao and more in this livestream:

We should also see Shifu, the Tao governance app, come out of beta in the near future. Once it and AM are available, there will be an announcement about the Tao Board of Governors' first election. This has been waiting until AM and non-beta Shifu were both available so people who have their funds on AM could withdraw it and vote for the masternode operators who will become the first members of the governance board.


The other big news is that Tao will be added to BigOne exchange, which is a top 25 exchange on CoinMarketCap, and a popular exchange in China. This opens up a big new market for Tao! It also should get XTO back on CMC after it was misleadingly delisted some time ago.

BigOne will be hosting a $10,000 contest for people depositing and/or trading Tao, details are forthcoming. They will be doing additional PR for Tao, I think primarily focusing on the new-to-Tao China market, including AMAs.

BigOne will also be adding a Tao staking pool, and futures trading will be added once volume kicks in.

Tao is of course also still available on qTrade https://qtrade.io/market/TAO_BTC - should be some good arb opportunities coming up with three markets.

More cool stuff coming down the pike.

What's deleted?

Definitely will be some value moving from Ethereum DeFi to alternative EVMs with cheaper gas fees like Ubiq, Expanse, and Tao

Try Graviex: https://www.graviex.net/markets/expbtc

Maybe you could adapt what Bryce did with the Tao "exodus" site which lets people move from the old Bitcoin-forked version of Tao to the newer EVM chain: https://exodus.tao.network/signup/

I helped beta test it a few months ago and it works well.

I just launched the Saffroncoin client for the first time in a while and I'm getting 4 connections so far. So somebody out there is still supporting the network. That's cool. I wonder how the recent anti-crypto talk of the India government will play out. 

Someone should wrap SFR and put it on Ethereum or one of the EVM alts like Expanse, Ubiq, or Tao!

Are you saying it's been added to Freiexchange? I don't see it there.

Expanse has their own version of Uniswap now called Eggswap

https://www.eggs.cool/ex/#/swap
http://info.eggs.cool/home

and Frankocoin will be wrapped and become a DeFi token for Eggswap. 

Expanse has also recently created a bridge between EVM networks so wrapped FRK may end up on other DeFi platforms via the bridge: https://expanse.tech/crosschain-txs-on-expanse/

Very cool! Been watching this in process for a while. Nice to see it maturing. Can't wait to see how things play out later this year as the bull run progresses and more people look to smaller networks for cheaper DeFi, NFTs, etc. 

The exact same thing happened when Venezuela announced the "Petro" and then the old 2014 coin Petrodollar pumped because people thought it was the Venezuela currency. I knew this would happen the moment I saw Elon's tweet, which is why I found this thread.

Woah, this coin isn't dead? Elon Musk is accidentally pumping it on Twitter rn

Just a matter of time 

Slack is back. A couple of the guys and I saw it disappear and were talking about it via Twitter. I let Bryce know and he recovered it.
AM is wildly overdue but will be back as soon as possible. I'll paste in the relevant info from Bryce via slack from earlier:

I'd been meaning to update the thread for the last week. The voting/validator app was supposed to come online in January, but oh noes it was a few hours late coming online February first. As mentioned above, you can find it at shifu-beta.tao.network
and if you have Tao in your MetaMask wallet you can now activate a validator/masternode if you have a node set up already (100K Tao required) or you can vote one there.
The Shifu site gives you info on the validators including ROI for both the operator and for voters. Looks and works great. Very easy to vote or fund your own masternode once you have MetaMask set up.

Meanwhile, Bryce has also given a thorough overhaul of the stats site here stats.tao.network which also looks good but it's a work in progress so the map doesn't show the location of nodes yet. I think he's also planning to update it so that you can click a validator on the stats site and go to its voting page over on Shifu. Here's the repo if you want a look or to set up your own:
https://github.com/Tao-Network/tao-stats

And another update is we've been dissatisfied with the current very basic explorer, so Bryce is working on a new open source explorer inspired by Etherscan.io and that's in progress.

He's also working on wrapping Tao so it can be listed on Uniswap, but also to create a bridge so people can move tokens and projects freely out of Etherem and onto Tao, Expanse, Ubiq, or other Ethereum-based networks so people can escape the crazy ETH gas fees.

It's been a long road, but a lot of ground has been covered now. Looking forward to what's next.

Just started checking out DeVault. Figured I'd post here to say hi and to see updates when they're posted here.
