I have not dismissed it yet and agree that it is potential undervalued in its completed form in the future. i haven't finished reading everything but have been reading more and more throughout the day .

Just the things i have wittnessed time and time again in the crypto scene regarding ipo coins is , large target funding goal requests during an IPO, leading to less interest and thus less investment in the initial funding stages, leading to a slower development/implementation of the idea. 

is it possible to get a rough idea of how many coins have been sold up until now or is that private info for the time being?

and when is the selling of the coins over?

We have to know that, as someone wants to buy, when the project seems to be successfull already.

Hm, came here due to the Ethereum - Tau Article on The Cointelegraph.

I read the article but I don't see an advantage on the userside compared to any smart contract form, Ether or the proposed BTC smart conracts.

I also don't quite understand how the MSCTAU I might buy are really mine in terms of having the private key for the address...compared to every other presale I experienced.

So Now I ask myself what has the Tau Chain to do with the Master protocol?
For the later ease of transferring "coins" when u run genesis?

thx

Can someone tell me what token owners get in return?

Agoras will be an economy offering many new features, like trustlessly hiring programmers (as in the blogpost Code and Money), or hiring other professionals (c.f. Bitagoras), or computer resources (like Zennet), or release coins for any provable "thing", at the sense of tau's proofs.
All Agoras' markets will have one coin. Those coins are being pre-sold, and the msc intermediate token is only for buyers to have something transferrable in hand and will be converted to the real coins. So the msc tokens will cease being operational upon Agoras' genesis where the actual coins take place, and the buyers get a share on Agoras economy.

Dear Friends,

I'd like to announce that from this moment, Agoras intermediate tokens are being traded in https://masterxchange.com/market.php?currency=msctau

Please note that there are many unsold coins (+90%) and we keep selling through the exchange, so expect a high supply of coins for now. Before the final Agoras coins will go out, we will destroy all unsold coins (as promised long ago), and the trade will "get to normal" without massive amount of coins being sold by us.

Recall that there are 42M intermediate tokens, representing 100% of all future Agoras coins. Agoras won't have creation of new coins, but all of its coins will be generated upon genesis and delivered to their owners, either right away or in a slow release in order not to flood the market. If we pick the slow release method, everyone with no exceptions will be subject to that constraint.

At this opportunity I'll mention that HolyTransactions.com, an online wallet service, began to support our tokens.

I think you would get more funding that you deserve for this project if you do more marketing, make a better website, better graphics, make youtube infomercial videos, do more interviews. Then I think you would get all the funding you want for this project so you can make it a success.

The world needs the technology that you are developing. I wish you and your project success.
