That is sad news...thinking of you Eddie.

Great work Cob! Keep it up! The crypto crowd will find something to kvetch about no matter what you do so just keep on keeping on :). I am exited to see this all unfold and which artists will be the brave pioneers of a new business model.

My condolences to you Eddie, and your family. I lost my father while on a business trip and it really does turn your world upside down.

We told Bytemaster to go ahead with it. We are not here to impress the crypto crowd. We are here to impress the music industry and as a side effect, bring Graphene, its community and crypto in general to the mainstream.

i like this, crypto crowd guncu :-\ :-\ :-\
don't forget where your ipo money came from.

From what I see .. they are working harder for your ROI than you do

Hello everyone.

As you know, Eddie and I went to Boston on october 2nd to attend Berklee's Fair Music Open Forum.
Although we got great feedback from most, some people (even panelists) thought what we proposed as a solution to the music industry's problem was far fetched, "pie in the sky" and decades away from being possible.

As announced last month, I was invited to speak on a panel at the Future of Music Policy Summit at Georgetown University in Washington DC. Eddie and I decided to move the MUSE blockchain launch date from November, to the day of the Panel talk so that no one could say we are talking sci-fi star trek bs.

We spoke with Cryptonomex and it was technically possible... although it would be rushed and many MUSE specific features would have to be added to it later.
We told Bytemaster to go ahead with it. We are not here to impress the crypto crowd. We are here to impress the music industry and as a side effect, bring Graphene, its community and crypto in general to the mainstream.

So Eddie and I prepared to invade and conquer DC. All was going well, although that hurricane was threatening to cancel a bunch of Texan flights. It turns out that hurricane was dwarfed by some bigger issue for us... Eddie's father, a prominent figure in the city of Houston, passed away.
I won't go into details regarding Eddie's personal or family life. Just know that it was impossible for him to attend the DC event we had prepared for.
I had 24 hours to adapt to this turn of events. (What a crazy day that was)

The conference itself was nuts! It turned out to be the best event we attended so far for the PeerTracks/MUSE project!
After the 2 days (which included my panel, the networking cocktail and VIP closing show) were over, every single person knew what PeerTracks was. Keep in mind the attendees were no small fish! Representatives of Congressmen, CEOs of large music companies, Music law firms, etc. All well connected people.
Minds where blown and we have more meetings than I know what to do with right now haha!
In fact, I JUST got home and I need to book my trip to New-York City where Eddie and I are meeting big fish next week. No breaks! Launching the chain on Monday was well worth it!!!

We are now moving on to the invite only artist sign up phase of the project.
We will soon manually create the profiles of some pioneer artists that want to take the platform of a spin. This will be our version of alpha testing and we will see how everything flows between MUSE and PeerTracks. It will bring light traffic to MUSE while we perfect the whole thing. As you must have noticed the GUI of the wallet is still purely financial so that will be made to reflect the non-techie nature of our future users.

I'm swarmed and exhausted. I'm off to recharge. It will be good to get my partner back so we can prepare to invade NYC Texas style!
