WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:04.500
Gaige Blake: We gotta save it.

2
00:00:05.090 --> 00:00:07.690
Bobby Gray: We gotta say, the normal welcome…

3
00:00:08.290 --> 00:00:22.299
Bobby Gray: introductory awesomeness. Bobby Gray here, founder, fearless leader of Texacoin and IskanderCoin, and you guys don't even know about coin number 3 yet. Probably a bad time to bring that up.

4
00:00:22.730 --> 00:00:29.459
Bobby Gray: Bud, welcome to Tuesday… June 16th? Is that right?

5
00:00:29.950 --> 00:00:36.649
Bobby Gray: Haven't had any coffee yet, but I'm joined by some of my absolute favorite people on planet Earth.

6
00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:48.109
Bobby Gray: I see Thomas is here, Gage is here, maybe a couple more of my IDMC Board of Administrators are hiding out there somewhere. If they would please put their hands up so I can promote them to co-hosts.

7
00:00:48.110 --> 00:00:57.169
Bobby Gray: Welcome, thanks so much for tuning in, and here we go. Now, Gage, you're out west. You were out west. You're home now, but you were out west.

8
00:00:57.330 --> 00:00:59.930
Bobby Gray: on the West Coast Tour, give us

9
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:06.310
Bobby Gray: the 30-second overview of the West Coast Tour, so I can have my first sip of coffee and get the brain working.

10
00:01:06.550 --> 00:01:13.079
Gaige Blake: Absolutely. So, I gotta say, the West Coast Tour's been, exceptionally exciting.

11
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:14.350
Bobby Gray: Yeah, but what is it?

12
00:01:15.610 --> 00:01:40.609
Gaige Blake: the West Coast Tour is our… I mean, it's basically our overview and update of the IDMC, right? You know, getting out, grabbing a bunch of people together, and you know, just like what we did with the East Coast Tour, where we brought people together and updated them about Texacoin, now we're going over the IDMC and Iskander, with all these people on the West Coast Tour. And people love it. People love coming out, getting together, seeing

13
00:01:40.610 --> 00:01:46.410
Gaige Blake: in our faces, looking us in the eye, you know, and understanding what in the heck

14
00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:48.359
Gaige Blake: is going on now, and how all the…

15
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:49.349
Bobby Gray: What are you guys doing?

16
00:01:49.860 --> 00:02:01.209
Bobby Gray: Why are you still doing it? Okay, so let's pause for a moment, because you mentioned a bunch of things, and… look, we got 132 people on the call right now. Yesterday, I think we had 380. The day before that, it was 430.

17
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:10.750
Bobby Gray: People are beginning to tune in again, and we're hearing from a couple different places, like, hey, I got an email from you guys. I didn't know we were still alive!

18
00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:31.010
Bobby Gray: What a great, encouraging thing. So, people are coming back out of the woodwork, you know, maybe they got involved in early 2024, maybe they caught the very tail end of the excitement in, you know, January of 2026. Whatever it is, we've brought together a community of people.

19
00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:42.180
Bobby Gray: And that was one of our first goals when I made my original video promoting this thing. I said, we're doing this thing for 3 reasons. We're doing it to make money, we're doing it to have fun, and we're doing it to make some friends.

20
00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:57.119
Bobby Gray: And those weren't in any particular order. It's not like, well, the profit is the most important thing, and, like, a distant second and, like, remote third are the community and the friendship part. They're all…

21
00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:05.480
Bobby Gray: I would say equally important, think about it, right? If you had all the money in the world, and no friends, no community, nothing to… to do with it, like…

22
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:19.940
Bobby Gray: it's kind of a… it's gonna be a shallow win. If you're the only person on planet Earth with everything, it's like, okay, you get bored after a little while. You know, from what I've found, at least, life has always been more enjoyable.

23
00:03:20.210 --> 00:03:36.989
Bobby Gray: And, you know, the feeling that I get from those accomplishments and the things that I bring together has always been more fulfilling and rewarding when I've got other people to share that with. I don't know if that's just me, you know, which is really funny, because I'm extremely selfish, as I always explain to people.

24
00:03:37.210 --> 00:03:49.790
Bobby Gray: Or if you feel that way as well. But, you know, we're doing this to bring a community together, to have a bunch of fun, and as a byproduct of those things, to make a bunch of money. They're all important goals.

25
00:03:49.790 --> 00:04:04.000
Bobby Gray: And so, that's why we did it. If you caught us at the very tail end, then you haven't seen that money part. I mean, we go through these conversations, and we're like, we're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry. People put their hands up, they're like, I made a fortune on…

26
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.940
Bobby Gray: what we did. Oh, okay, well, that's good. Yeah, I did pretty well, too. I sold at this price, I sold at this… spectacular, good.

27
00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:26.689
Bobby Gray: So let's make sure that we continue to focus on these other things as well. The money part's important, but the friendship and the community are what give a lot of people, you know, meaning, fulfillment, connection, purpose, and all that stuff. So…

28
00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:47.179
Bobby Gray: We're trying to bring people back together. We did the East Coast Tour a couple weeks ago, we built it around the RV, and a road trip that we did from, you know, Dallas up to Tennessee, I think, down to Myrtle Beach, and on to Florida for the consensus event in Miami, and the Crypto Polo Cup that we sponsored with.

29
00:04:47.190 --> 00:04:48.900
Bobby Gray: the Luna PR team.

30
00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:53.569
Bobby Gray: And so, that was the East Coast Tour. And just like you said.

31
00:04:53.620 --> 00:05:04.089
Bobby Gray: Brought a bunch of people out, got them to, you know, get off the couch once again, and come out, look us in the eye, ask the difficult questions.

32
00:05:04.090 --> 00:05:19.210
Bobby Gray: and see how they felt. Was this a one and done? Was this the rug pull that, you know, everybody warned us it was gonna be? Or is this a project that continues to invest in its success and the success of its members and community? Or is this thing over?

33
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:32.040
Bobby Gray: bring him out, let him get together with us face-to-face, as scary as that sounds, and let's see what happens. Let's roll the dice and see. And it was… it was extremely good. Now, we weren't focusing…

34
00:05:32.310 --> 00:05:45.789
Bobby Gray: on sales during the East Coast Tour. I don't think that sales was a really high priority for us back then. We were focusing more just on, do we still have it? Whatever it is, do we still have it?

35
00:05:46.210 --> 00:05:59.970
Bobby Gray: And it was like, don't worry about the numbers, don't worry about the money, just get out there, show people we're alive, show people we're not scared, show people we're still here, show people we're still committed to our mission and our strategy, don't worry about the numbers.

36
00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:10.449
Bobby Gray: Great. The event went well, no one got killed. There was one really fun story that came out of, Myrtle Beach. Did you hear the story about the accident on the side of the road?

37
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.540
Gaige Blake: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

38
00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:17.900
Bobby Gray: So Sloppy hits me up, and he's like, I got a pretty good story. I'm like, alright, let's hear it.

39
00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:23.759
Bobby Gray: And, and he says, so I've been talking to this one guy forever and ever and ever, and he's…

40
00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:38.349
Bobby Gray: An absolute no, never, I've never signed up for your scammy network marketing, MLM, crypto, pyramid, blah blah blah, never, over my dead body, which is exactly where I was back in, you know, 2013, 2014.

41
00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:41.600
Bobby Gray: When I first heard about this stuff through a friend.

42
00:06:42.030 --> 00:06:46.079
Bobby Gray: Anyway, this guy is a… is a… over my dead body guy.

43
00:06:46.650 --> 00:06:56.459
Bobby Gray: Months goes by, I see you guys are going through some challenges, yeah, we're working through them. In fact, we're getting people together tonight. We're gonna have an event here in Myrtle Beach, okay. Would you like to come?

44
00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:58.130
Bobby Gray: Sure.

45
00:06:58.580 --> 00:07:06.250
Bobby Gray: I'll come out to your event tonight. After, like, forever and ever being an absolutely… Not kind of guy.

46
00:07:06.970 --> 00:07:20.180
Bobby Gray: And Swappy gets hit up with a phone call, and the guy goes, hey man, I got bad news for you. I know it's gonna sound like I'm, you know, I'm backing out last minute, just, you know, because, but I got in an accident.

47
00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:29.869
Bobby Gray: And he's… and I can't make it tonight. And Swapi's like, no way, impossible, absolutely not. You gotta be lying, I mean, come on, man, you're just… you're just…

48
00:07:30.140 --> 00:07:48.849
Bobby Gray: you just pull my chain here, and the guy goes, no, no, no, I'll send you a picture. So he's on the side of the road, and somewhere in South Carolina, I don't even know where it was, but it's not Myrtle Beach, it's, like, somewhere, somewhere in the vicinity. And he snaps a picture of his car on the side of the road, and I'll see if I can find the picture here while I'm babbling on about it, and you guys…

49
00:07:48.850 --> 00:07:52.829
Bobby Gray: can see… Where is it? Hold on, I don't want to spoil it.

50
00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:53.660
Gaige Blake: I got the.

51
00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:54.040
Bobby Gray: I mean.

52
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.139
Gaige Blake: I got to meet that guy. Got to meet him?

53
00:07:56.140 --> 00:07:57.330
Bobby Gray: You get it out eventually?

54
00:07:57.330 --> 00:07:59.560
Gaige Blake: He came out, and

55
00:08:00.330 --> 00:08:06.299
Gaige Blake: I got to answer his questions, and, you know, I think he ended up picking up a handful of TXC.

56
00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:07.589
Bobby Gray: Did he?

57
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:08.789
Gaige Blake: Yeah. Damn.

58
00:08:08.790 --> 00:08:09.220
Bobby Gray: So…

59
00:08:09.780 --> 00:08:24.160
Bobby Gray: Maybe he's not a lifer, but he is somebody that's gonna at least dip a toe in the water and try it out. Alright, I found the picture here. I'll show you… I'll show you the picture that I'm talking about, and you can… you can tell me if you see…

60
00:08:24.380 --> 00:08:29.430
Bobby Gray: The extremely coincidental

61
00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:38.260
Bobby Gray: situation in the back of this guy's legitimate car accident photo. There it is, and there is the Texac coin.

62
00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:54.649
Bobby Gray: RV going by on some highway in the middle of South Carolina. It was a true story. The guy really did get in the accident, and he… and he happened to catch a rare photo of the Texit Coin. I don't know, do we have a name for the Texit Coin Express just yet?

63
00:08:55.190 --> 00:09:00.340
Bobby Gray: Caught a… caught a picture of it, and so I thought that was really fun. Great story,

64
00:09:00.390 --> 00:09:15.810
Bobby Gray: But again, great opportunity out there to connect with our friends during the East Coast Tour. And a lot of people, while we were out there doing it, were like, well, what about the West Coast? You guys surely are not gonna forget about your friends on the other side of the country.

65
00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:21.030
Bobby Gray: And and so, you know, what do we learn from Angelo? Always plan a meeting from a meeting.

66
00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:28.770
Bobby Gray: We're like, we should do a West Coast tour. Now, let's pause for a second and go a little further backwards.

67
00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:45.259
Bobby Gray: Because I don't know if we've talked yet about what is the IDMC? What is Iskander? We show up on these Tuesday and Thursday calls with the assumption that everybody has tuned in to all 116 weeks of our discussions.

68
00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:47.979
Bobby Gray: And, and that's not always the case. People have…

69
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.940
Bobby Gray: Good and better things to do, usually, with their knights.

70
00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:59.220
Bobby Gray: And so they may not be able to keep up with all of the, exciting news. Now, I will say…

71
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:06.850
Bobby Gray: that yesterday, I was working on a couple things I'll show you real quick before I get into that, but yesterday, I was working on…

72
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.719
Bobby Gray: Rounding up some of the…

73
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:17.889
Bobby Gray: calls that we do on Thursday night, and these last couple days of marathon calls, and getting them onto…

74
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.220
Bobby Gray: The watch and register page

75
00:10:21.790 --> 00:10:35.449
Bobby Gray: on the Texacoin.org website. And so it's like, where can I find the recording? I don't know, I heard there was a recording, where can I find it? Well, now you can find it right here on the Texacoin.org website. The banner at the very top of the page has the link

76
00:10:35.790 --> 00:10:44.579
Bobby Gray: You can also go here and you can get the link for the live calls if you want, and then our most recent call is at the top, and then if you scroll a little bit further down the page.

77
00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:56.140
Bobby Gray: you can, you can find calls that go further back. They will populate going backwards as we go. I thought it was funny to use the thumbnail of me with my hands up.

78
00:10:56.300 --> 00:11:02.059
Bobby Gray: for the SEC update call from Sunday night, in case you missed that.

79
00:11:02.790 --> 00:11:03.530
Bobby Gray: Yeah.

80
00:11:03.660 --> 00:11:12.680
Bobby Gray: Yeah, clever. But we've been doing this for a long time now, and it's not our first rodeo, this isn't, you know, oh, well.

81
00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:16.330
Bobby Gray: we… I don't know.

82
00:11:16.610 --> 00:11:24.099
Bobby Gray: You can say whatever you want there. But we've been doing this for a while, and and what we've put together today

83
00:11:24.430 --> 00:11:33.499
Bobby Gray: with Iskander Coyne, And with the Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative, is the very best

84
00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:40.280
Bobby Gray: Of taking everything that we've learned, everything that we've experienced, all of the regulatory feedback, everything.

85
00:11:40.380 --> 00:11:44.259
Bobby Gray: And patching them into a plan.

86
00:11:44.660 --> 00:12:00.939
Bobby Gray: that gives us the ability to take this project forward all the way to the finish line. We got really far in the beginning with my little, you know, best guess comp plan that, you know, I tested a little bit, not a whole lot of bit.

87
00:12:01.110 --> 00:12:12.219
Bobby Gray: with our no rules, with our YOLO, anything-and-everything-goes, with our we'll-try-it-and-see-what-happens kind of stuff. I didn't know…

88
00:12:12.270 --> 00:12:24.809
Bobby Gray: absolute geniuses and experts like Thomas back then. Gage and I hadn't met yet. It was 2 months later that Gage and I first connected for the very first time. You know, it was me!

89
00:12:25.010 --> 00:12:36.300
Bobby Gray: And I got no experience in network marketing, MLM, call it whatever you want. I got no experience in crypto. I'm just a guy that lives on a dirt road, that has a vision.

90
00:12:36.770 --> 00:12:39.640
Bobby Gray: That's on a mission to save the world. That's it!

91
00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:41.010
Bobby Gray: By myself.

92
00:12:41.540 --> 00:12:42.770
Bobby Gray: And so…

93
00:12:43.140 --> 00:12:57.290
Bobby Gray: My neighbor saw it, my daughter saw it, my other neighbor saw it, and my friend Chris out in California saw it, and one by one, and then two by two, people started to say, yeah, I'm in, I'll throw some cash into this deal.

94
00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:04.639
Bobby Gray: Thousand bucks, I waste more than that on a bad dinner out with my family, or on a terrible night at the casino. Why not? Let's try it.

95
00:13:05.390 --> 00:13:16.480
Bobby Gray: And so it began, and we went from absolutely nothing and no experience to, you know, people all over the planet are talking about us, and we've got a, you know.

96
00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:33.999
Bobby Gray: third of a billion dollar coin, all of a sudden, out of nowhere. And it's our first cycle. And people are making a fortune on it. And we're doing what we said we'd do. We're paying out our commissions on time, we are, you know, building our mind, we're struggling through every single bit of it, but we're making it.

97
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:43.030
Bobby Gray: And that was cool. That was very cool. Now, we get punched in the face by some… some regulators, and we go through our first cycle.

98
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.290
Bobby Gray: And we step back and we go, alright.

99
00:13:47.910 --> 00:13:52.489
Bobby Gray: first of all, we got… we gotta make some changes here.

100
00:13:52.580 --> 00:14:08.250
Bobby Gray: Second of all, what do we got? Who do we have? Who is ready to really step up and consider this thing, not as a side hustle, but as a real project that they're willing to commit, real time, real energy, to?

101
00:14:08.260 --> 00:14:22.589
Bobby Gray: put their efforts behind, fix whatever's wrong, you know, spend days, weeks, months on committee calls and Zoom updates and conversations with each other and our community, and figure out what we have to change

102
00:14:22.790 --> 00:14:27.329
Bobby Gray: to give ourselves… A clear road ahead.

103
00:14:28.050 --> 00:14:45.509
Bobby Gray: we got our heads together, we sat down, we hugged it out, and we came up with the Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative. And so, if you go back to late last year and early 2026, we were already starting to talk about expansion. We knew that we wanted to get

104
00:14:45.620 --> 00:15:03.720
Bobby Gray: bigger outside of the U.S, we knew that that 10% hard cap that Texitcoin had established from MineTXE was starting to, you know, hit the ceiling. We said, we've got a lot of interest in this project all over the world. We're not doing any influencers, we're only mining this thing in Texas, we've got a 10% limit on our foreign participation, let's…

105
00:15:03.750 --> 00:15:22.069
Bobby Gray: let's give ourselves a mechanism to expand internationally. Iskander. Okay, well then, as we're going through the setup of that, we go through our regulatory challenges, and we go, let's bring all this together in one package. Let's call it the Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative. Why a cooperative?

106
00:15:22.410 --> 00:15:25.809
Bobby Gray: Cooperative is what we have kind of always done.

107
00:15:26.420 --> 00:15:37.230
Bobby Gray: with Texacoin, with my TXC. We just didn't really call it that, and I got to keep the money that was left over at the end of the day. I didn't take an official salary, I just got to keep the money that was left over. There was a lot of money left over.

108
00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:49.899
Bobby Gray: After the mining equipment was purchased, and the commissions were paid, and travel bonuses, and incentives, and supercars, and the advertising and promotion, and liquidity, and the developers, all that stuff was paid.

109
00:15:49.900 --> 00:15:52.649
Bobby Gray: I got to keep the money that was left, and there was quite a bit of it.

110
00:15:53.710 --> 00:16:11.770
Bobby Gray: Other than that, we kind of ran it like a cooperative. We asked our community for participation, we, asked our community to, you know, vote on certain things, we all got a proportional output of the Texacoin Daily Rewards based on how much we built and grew this thing.

111
00:16:12.930 --> 00:16:29.390
Bobby Gray: And so we said, well, it's kind of like a cooperative. Why don't we take advantage of Wyoming's new structure for this DUNA, this decentralized, unincorporated, nonprofit association? Why don't we use that structure

112
00:16:30.190 --> 00:16:37.170
Bobby Gray: and reorganize what we've been doing with MindTXC, now out of Wyoming.

113
00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:52.199
Bobby Gray: set it up officially as a cooperative, still uncorporated. We're not, like, going to the man and asking them for permission, we're still unincorporated, but we're decentralized, we're unincorporated. We have to commit all of the profits

114
00:16:52.510 --> 00:17:00.229
Bobby Gray: for the betterment of our membership, Bobby doesn't get to keep whatever's left over now. We use it all

115
00:17:00.420 --> 00:17:02.630
Bobby Gray: For the betterment of our membership.

116
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:06.560
Bobby Gray: And we call ourselves an association. The end.

117
00:17:07.490 --> 00:17:12.190
Bobby Gray: I looked at it, we talked to Council about it, we went through, top to bottom.

118
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:23.039
Bobby Gray: you know, the MLM component, hey, we gotta hire top attorneys to look at our referral plan. Is this thing an MLM? No, it's not. Why not? It's never been one.

119
00:17:23.670 --> 00:17:28.050
Bobby Gray: I don't want to go through all the details on that now, you can check out the website for that.

120
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.220
Bobby Gray: But it's not an MLM, it's not a security.

121
00:17:31.430 --> 00:17:42.590
Bobby Gray: And by setting ourselves up as a cooperative, and all of the members receiving 100% of the benefit, and that membership kind of interest being a shared community asset.

122
00:17:43.450 --> 00:17:53.810
Bobby Gray: It deals with a lot of the… almost all of the rest of the questions, from the security side, from the regulator side, from all these other things that we're going through and learning about now.

123
00:17:54.750 --> 00:17:58.449
Bobby Gray: And so that's what we did. We said, okay, my TXC is done.

124
00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:10.150
Bobby Gray: We understand, if we're going to continue this thing, we're doing it under a new umbrella, it's called the Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative. So, Iskander Coin is now brought to us by the Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative.

125
00:18:10.300 --> 00:18:23.580
Bobby Gray: And let's go. So we started to introduce that during the East Coast Tour, and now we are solidly introducing that in the last couple days with the West Coast Tour. So, have I sufficiently caught us up from

126
00:18:23.610 --> 00:18:33.620
Bobby Gray: the background and the things that have happened over the last couple weeks to fill everybody in on where we are today and why. Does it all make sense? Any questions about it? Any…

127
00:18:33.890 --> 00:18:36.410
Bobby Gray: Curiosity's there, did I miss anything?

128
00:18:36.930 --> 00:18:39.370
Gaige Blake: No, you, you wrapped it up perfect.

129
00:18:39.370 --> 00:18:42.449
Bobby Gray: Okay, good. So take us now to the West Coast.

130
00:18:42.830 --> 00:18:53.189
Bobby Gray: Who did we connect with out there? What was it like? Because now we're starting to shift from, hey, we're still here, we're still alive, but we're not afraid, to, hey, come on, guys!

131
00:18:53.650 --> 00:18:57.529
Bobby Gray: We had… we had a strategy before. Throw your cash in.

132
00:18:57.990 --> 00:19:01.860
Bobby Gray: We're gonna promote our project, we're gonna pay our commissions, we're gonna build a mine.

133
00:19:02.290 --> 00:19:04.910
Bobby Gray: Who's in? Here's what it costs.

134
00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:11.789
Bobby Gray: And now we've been focusing more on that in the last couple days with the West Coast Tour. So tell us…

135
00:19:11.910 --> 00:19:22.520
Bobby Gray: from the boots-on-the-ground perspective, what it was like. Was it better? Was it worse? Was it more fun, less fun? I know you guys didn't have the RV out there, but gas is not cheap these days.

136
00:19:22.520 --> 00:19:31.909
Gaige Blake: No, and that was probably the number one question that we get at every stop. Where's the RV? Where's the RV? And we're like, man, we didn't… we didn't.

137
00:19:31.910 --> 00:19:49.559
Bobby Gray: Well, we've got two issues with it right now. First of all, Steve Walsh is very busy right now in Conroe getting the mine set up. We've been battling weather for the last couple weeks. I was really hoping to be able to go into the conversation with the SEC this past week and say, look, there it is, our hash power hashing away.

138
00:19:49.560 --> 00:19:56.700
Bobby Gray: We didn't get there in time because of weather. The trucks got stuck, we couldn't get them out of the Victoria property and bring them over to Conroe.

139
00:19:56.700 --> 00:20:02.829
Bobby Gray: Steve's off the grid. Trey's off the grid as well, because it's my daughter's 21st birthday tomorrow for me.

140
00:20:02.910 --> 00:20:07.729
Bobby Gray: And, they're out celebrating in Florida.

141
00:20:08.030 --> 00:20:15.649
Bobby Gray: And so Trey's like, look, I'd love to drive the RV, it's so much fun, I love taking the mirrors off from time to time, but I'm gonna be celebrating

142
00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:28.059
Bobby Gray: a birthday with your daughter. Okay, so our primary drivers are off the grid, no RV, but still excitement, enthusiasm, and a community came together once again.

143
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:34.999
Gaige Blake: Yeah, yeah, and we started in Colorado, and we started up there with Thomas, and a couple.

144
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.570
Bobby Gray: I heard that was a great room.

145
00:20:36.710 --> 00:20:37.199
Bobby Gray: I don't…

146
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:37.599
Gaige Blake: I don't do it.

147
00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:43.380
Bobby Gray: like, an exact quote or put words in his mouth, but I remember hearing something like, the best

148
00:20:43.730 --> 00:20:47.960
Bobby Gray: meeting I've seen in 25 years. You want to give us a quick… Yeah.

149
00:20:49.510 --> 00:21:10.360
Thomas Dubois: Yeah, you bet. For one, for having Tim and them out here was just absolutely… Tim and Gage out here was off the chains, and we had 3 events in Colorado. Well, the Lakewood event, you know, was probably the primary, but all 3 ended up being exactly what they were supposed to be. And the Lakewood event, we had a full room, nevertheless.

150
00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:12.139
Thomas Dubois: But, as far as

151
00:21:12.140 --> 00:21:31.670
Thomas Dubois: a ratio goes of per people, people per people that got excited and got in, it was everybody in the room, darn near. And so, so as far as productivity goes, and answering the call to what… you know, you always ask yourself at an event, what's 3 things that I want to accomplish at this event?

152
00:21:31.670 --> 00:21:50.370
Thomas Dubois: And for the guy that was throwing that event, all 3 plus quotation marks were answered, and I watched Tim and Gage just wow me. I think I'm pretty good from the front of the room, but these guys, these guys do really awesome.

153
00:21:50.370 --> 00:21:54.840
Bobby Gray: What are the three things? You can't throw 3 things out there and not tell us Things are.

154
00:21:54.840 --> 00:22:03.630
Thomas Dubois: Alright, well, re-engage Texacoin miners, re-engage, Texacoin miners, have fun, have fun.

155
00:22:03.630 --> 00:22:16.210
Thomas Dubois: and put a lot of people, and put the majority of the room into Iskander. All of the above happened. We had people that were founders there that bought in more.

156
00:22:16.210 --> 00:22:24.460
Thomas Dubois: You know, you know, I was just… Tim's handed me, I said, she's already a founder! And he says, I know here.

157
00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:24.990
Gaige Blake: Yeah.

158
00:22:25.130 --> 00:22:27.369
Gaige Blake: We got a lot of people that wanted to upgrade.

159
00:22:27.370 --> 00:22:51.390
Thomas Dubois: It was awesome. It was great. And so… so… and then Cal… I'll speak for California, but I'll let Gage, I wasn't there, but… but my leaders threw the… some of the leaders in our organization threw that bill and… and Mancone, and they're just excited about it. And then what's really fun now is we get to watch all the… all the entries, sign up, because people are excited, all the entries signing up for the new California

160
00:22:51.390 --> 00:23:08.550
Thomas Dubois: tour, and for, Arkansas and Wichita, and they're, they're coming in like crazy, so I believe those events will, will, will, dwarf the events that we've seen so far. But Gage was the man, and Tim, hats off if I had a hat on, for sure.

161
00:23:09.430 --> 00:23:29.409
Gaige Blake: Yeah, yeah, so that one was spectacular. When we left Colorado, a couple days later, we end up going to Sacramento, just like Thomas said, to hang out with AJ, and Bill Cook, and they put on two meetings for us in one day. We did a lunch, a noon meeting, and then we did an evening presentation at 6 o'clock.

162
00:23:29.410 --> 00:23:31.580
Gaige Blake: And both of them went off…

163
00:23:31.760 --> 00:23:50.959
Gaige Blake: spectacular. I mean, there was a lot of people that showed up that haven't been tuned in, that were never tuned in originally with Texacoin. You know, these were people that got in that never found their way to a Tuesday night Zoom call, or anything, and, you know, after about an hour, hour and a half there, we could go through everything, bring them up to speed.

164
00:23:50.960 --> 00:24:07.850
Gaige Blake: you know, explain what we're doing going forward with the IDMC, and the people love it. You know, the people love seeing us come out there, and giving them this message, and it's been great. So last night, I was in Phoenix, I was there by myself, without Tim.

165
00:24:07.850 --> 00:24:21.480
Gaige Blake: And we had a packed room. Joe and Sarah down there put on a meeting, and there was 65 plus, 70 plus people in the room. It was fantastic turnout, and everything…

166
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:31.879
Bobby Gray: Just scrolling through the list, and I saw Joe in the attendee list. I'm gonna see if I can promote him to panelists, if he wants to talk about, about what went down last night, and there he is!

167
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:32.390
Gaige Blake: There he is!

168
00:24:32.390 --> 00:24:33.790
Bobby Gray: Yes, Cho!

169
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:35.730
Bobby Gray: Good evening!

170
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.559
Bobby Gray: Greetings from beautiful, sunny Singapore morning. I can't see you, but… oh, there you go, you're on…

171
00:24:41.560 --> 00:24:47.270
Joe Jaquint: Hey, I unmuted, I figured that out, yeah. Gage was fantastic, it was,

172
00:24:47.420 --> 00:25:05.580
Joe Jaquint: Really well turned out, we had a great room, we got a lot of people, excited, and like Thomas said, re-engaged, with, with the project itself. And, the good part is we got a lot of people signing up for Iskander as well, so…

173
00:25:05.580 --> 00:25:07.710
Joe Jaquint: I think the most important part was…

174
00:25:08.290 --> 00:25:16.170
Joe Jaquint: re-engaging and getting people, you know, we had a good… a good crowd there, but, you know, just…

175
00:25:16.410 --> 00:25:25.520
Joe Jaquint: happy to be back together and talking about positive things that are to come. I think that was the biggest, thing that, the people enjoyed the most.

176
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:37.500
Bobby Gray: Yeah, and guys, I really have to highlight and emphasize how important this fellowship thing is. You know, look, life is tough these days. I don't know if…

177
00:25:37.710 --> 00:25:50.739
Bobby Gray: it seems the same way to you as it does to me, but we need something to look forward to, and if that's a, you know, Tuesday night Zoom call, or a Thursday evening get-together with the other miners, like.

178
00:25:50.970 --> 00:26:04.689
Bobby Gray: let's do stuff, man. Let's remember that we're alive, we're supposed to enjoy life, I don't know why we're here, I don't know exactly, you know, what the deal is, but I know that it's our job to make the absolute most of it,

179
00:26:04.690 --> 00:26:19.389
Bobby Gray: as we're… as we're, you know, going through the days and months and years of our lives. So, thank you guys for getting out. Joe, thanks for tuning in. I don't know if you remember, but a long time ago, I think you threw your hat in the ring for Finance Committee Chair

180
00:26:19.390 --> 00:26:24.999
Bobby Gray: of Iskander, and I wanna, first thank you for

181
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:43.920
Bobby Gray: the continued hard work, effort, and contribution from you and your family, and I want to let you know that the administrators are discussing that question right now at this very moment, and if you're still interested in participating in a meaningful way and keeping an eye on the money with us, then we are…

182
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:49.900
Bobby Gray: We are almost ready to invite you to participate like that. I don't know if that's still something

183
00:26:50.270 --> 00:26:52.900
Bobby Gray: To you, but that's an empty chair for us at the moment.

184
00:26:53.310 --> 00:27:05.900
Joe Jaquint: I would be more than happy to do so, and want to continue to help us push this project along. It's for a great cause, I think we're going to do great things, and if I can help in any way, let me know.

185
00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:08.950
Bobby Gray: Appreciate that, man. Thanks so much for jumping over real quick.

186
00:27:08.950 --> 00:27:09.520
Joe Jaquint: Stick with us.

187
00:27:09.520 --> 00:27:11.139
Bobby Gray: Or, cold in the evening.

188
00:27:11.370 --> 00:27:24.529
Bobby Gray: So, so let's talk about that real quick, if you don't mind. Gage, thanks for the update from the West Coast Tour. Is there anything else that's on the calendar yet? Are we… are we getting new events on the calendar?

189
00:27:24.530 --> 00:27:32.669
Gaige Blake: Yeah, yeah, so we have, next is, Wichita. We're hitting Wichita, Kansas. Okay, that's on the 24th, that's next Wednesday.

190
00:27:32.670 --> 00:27:34.120
Bobby Gray: Okay, a week from today.

191
00:27:34.250 --> 00:27:34.750
Bobby Gray: Tomorrow?

192
00:27:34.750 --> 00:27:47.120
Gaige Blake: And then that following Saturday, on the 27th, we're gonna be in Benton, Arkansas, right outside of Hot Springs. And then, which that event's coming together very nicely. We have a lot of people signed up for that one.

193
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:56.709
Bobby Gray: So we're on the move now. Are we at the point yet where we're cool enough to fire up the jet and start, like, you know, just doing 4 meetings a day in 17 different time zones?

194
00:27:56.860 --> 00:27:59.650
Bobby Gray: Or do we have to talk to our finance chair about that first?

195
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:07.080
Gaige Blake: But yeah, we might need to see what the budget looks like, but listen, seriously, though, if people can put a room together, we'll come out and talk to them.

196
00:28:07.080 --> 00:28:07.420
Bobby Gray: Yeah.

197
00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:15.200
Gaige Blake: It's so relieving for these folks to see somebody explain what is going on with their Texitcoin, you know.

198
00:28:15.410 --> 00:28:18.980
Gaige Blake: whatever you want to call it, gamble, and

199
00:28:19.150 --> 00:28:25.889
Gaige Blake: And they're just relieved. They're relieved to see that we're still fighting every single day for this project, and .

200
00:28:25.890 --> 00:28:39.100
Bobby Gray: We've made major progress. I mean, Tim's… Tim's, you know, been doing his where we were, where we are, and where we're going, kind of overview, and I… and I hear that it's… it's going over very well. I mean, it's,

201
00:28:39.340 --> 00:28:44.680
Bobby Gray: You know, it's not the most sizzly thing, but that's not really what we're doing. We're not really trying to…

202
00:28:44.830 --> 00:28:55.539
Bobby Gray: get people to make a crazy last-minute, pushed decision. We're trying to show them that this is a real project, run by real people, with real risks and real challenges, and…

203
00:28:55.630 --> 00:29:11.870
Bobby Gray: We have a real commitment to our success. Where were we? Where are we? And where are we going? And if you want on that freight train or rocket ship, then there's plenty of room. There's plenty of room, especially with this Iskander expansion strategy. So, so let's talk…

204
00:29:11.870 --> 00:29:20.790
Gaige Blake: One last thing. 30th, the 30th of June, I think is the last Tuesday of the month, we're gonna be in Southern California with our friends Chris.

205
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.790
Gaige Blake: The backs…

206
00:29:21.790 --> 00:29:22.380
Bobby Gray: That's right.

207
00:29:22.600 --> 00:29:24.489
Gaige Blake: And we're gonna be,

208
00:29:24.770 --> 00:29:31.059
Gaige Blake: what is that? Fountain Valley, California? So, check out the events page, guys, and you can get the details on all of those.

209
00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:49.830
Bobby Gray: Love it. Love it. Plan a meeting from a meeting, as we learned from our friend Angelo, hopefully we're connecting with some of our other besties out there in Southern California as well. It's gonna take a little while to win back over some of these really great people. You know, people came… I remember talking to people, you know, great…

210
00:29:50.490 --> 00:29:52.680
Bobby Gray: People in this realm

211
00:29:52.960 --> 00:30:03.199
Bobby Gray: and inviting them to come out, and they said, yeah, no, no, call me after a year. After you've made it through the hard parts, give me a buzz, and we'll see if I want to jump in. Some of those people jumped in early.

212
00:30:03.520 --> 00:30:08.549
Bobby Gray: And they said, okay, I like the mission, honest money, crypto, that sounds good, let's go.

213
00:30:08.550 --> 00:30:25.559
Bobby Gray: And then they backed away. They said, you guys really haven't figured it all out yet. And we're like, no, we haven't. We're making it up as we go, we're doing pretty good, but there's plenty of room for improvement. Well, that improvement has happened, and I want to talk for a moment, real quick, about what some of those fundamental changes are

214
00:30:25.560 --> 00:30:26.740
Bobby Gray: And…

215
00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:33.889
Bobby Gray: See if that's enough to win you over, or some of the other people that have not yet engaged

216
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:50.760
Bobby Gray: Iskander in a meaningful way. You know, one of the big complaints we got for a long time was, this is Bobby's blockchain. This is Bobby's blockchain, Bobby makes all the rules, he's like a benevolent dictator, and you know, if you don't get along with him, he graduates you, and blah blah blah.

217
00:30:52.010 --> 00:30:57.250
Bobby Gray: Fair point, point taken, we hear you. You know, I talked…

218
00:30:57.510 --> 00:31:12.759
Bobby Gray: Two nights ago about, you know, in the beginning phases of a project, when you're not really sure what to do, when you're not really sure who to trust, you gotta keep your cards close to the chest, the vest.

219
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:18.960
Bobby Gray: I don't remember what it is there. You gotta keep things, you know, really…

220
00:31:19.270 --> 00:31:38.010
Bobby Gray: really under tight wraps, because things can go sideways fast, and most projects never make it to the point where they introduce a product. Most projects don't make it a full year. Most projects don't make it 2 years. We're here, we're still going, we still have plenty of resources to continue going. Payroll gets paid week after week.

221
00:31:38.260 --> 00:31:40.519
Bobby Gray: And so, I look back at

222
00:31:40.520 --> 00:32:04.110
Bobby Gray: you know, the good and the bad of, you know, this beginning part of our project. And I say, look, for better or worse, I think we made some good decisions, we didn't get everything right, but I think we got a lot of things right. And I think the things that we got right have given us the ability to continue to have this conversation and move forward in a meaningful way. Not move forward grasping at straws, but move forward in putting together some of the biggest rooms we've ever seen in our history.

223
00:32:04.990 --> 00:32:27.240
Bobby Gray: That's a pretty good thing. After regulatory stuff, and cease and desist, and, you know, multi-million dollar legal bills, you can still put together giant rooms? Well, we got something. We got something. Is it a slam dunk? Is it a mic drop, walk-off, you know, cocky coffin, you know, our head's too big kind of thing? No, no, no, no, no, no. We have to keep working. We gotta work every day on this thing.

224
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:28.769
Bobby Gray: But we got something.

225
00:32:29.020 --> 00:32:37.829
Bobby Gray: And that's really impressive. So, we started with Bobby's blockchain and, you know, making it up as we went, and we learned a lot of stuff.

226
00:32:38.060 --> 00:32:50.280
Bobby Gray: And we've gotten to the point now where I am much more comfortable stepping back. I know who our leadership, is, I know who the leaders are, I know,

227
00:32:50.280 --> 00:32:59.330
Bobby Gray: I know that they are able to have good, meaningful conversations with people without me there supervising and micromanaging the whole thing. So now I'm…

228
00:32:59.870 --> 00:33:06.900
Bobby Gray: finally at the point where I'm able to step back a little bit. I'm not out, I'm the chairman of the IDMC.

229
00:33:07.130 --> 00:33:21.249
Bobby Gray: So I'm not out, I'm still here, I'm still managing calls, I'm still participating in discussions, I'm still building tools and resources for everyone, but I've invited a whole lot of other people to come in and take positions of authority.

230
00:33:21.650 --> 00:33:29.650
Bobby Gray: And for the IDMC, there's a couple rules. Number one is every member's gotta agree to the governing principles

231
00:33:29.650 --> 00:33:48.279
Bobby Gray: of the DUNA, the Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association. So, when we put together IDMC, we created a constitution and governing principles document. You can find that document on the website, it's there in black and white, it's posted to the blockchain, it's saved on IPFS,

232
00:33:48.280 --> 00:33:58.139
Bobby Gray: So that it's there, and it's there forever. And we are not able to change that document without a vote of the majority of the members. I don't remember if it's a supermajority or just a majority.

233
00:33:58.450 --> 00:34:11.239
Bobby Gray: But one of the things that it talks about in that Constitution is that we're going to kind of set some things in stone, and then all the other things are going to be decided by the Board of Administrators.

234
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:20.049
Bobby Gray: And we've got 7 people today on the board of administrators. Maybe I can remember them off the top of my head. We got Eddie, we got Tim. I did Eddie first, because I always forget Eddie.

235
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:27.980
Bobby Gray: We got Eddie, we got Tim, Gage, myself, Thomas, Corey, and… our man Jay.

236
00:34:28.790 --> 00:34:45.579
Bobby Gray: And those 7 people now have direct and full access to everything. All the numbers, all the data, all the people, in the organization, all the systems. I'm not even the guy that's primarily behind building the website and the systems today.

237
00:34:45.580 --> 00:34:50.140
Bobby Gray: It's my man Corey. Corey's got first-hand access to it, he's building all kinds of great stuff.

238
00:34:50.139 --> 00:34:58.270
Bobby Gray: I've helped him quite a bit, but we've got a team now of 7 people that make up what we call the Board of Administrators.

239
00:34:58.270 --> 00:35:07.849
Bobby Gray: And the Board of Administrators so far, has 5 committees that get together on a regular basis. One of the requirements of joining the Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative

240
00:35:07.850 --> 00:35:22.130
Bobby Gray: cooperative is that you have to join a committee. We need active participation. We need to be able to go back to our regulator friends and say, guys, look, it's not an investment. People aren't putting money in and then sitting back and saying, send me my check. There's a lot of work that they have to do

241
00:35:22.130 --> 00:35:24.759
Bobby Gray: Actively participate in our cooperative.

242
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:34.719
Bobby Gray: And so far, we've got a membership committee, we've got, our comp and referral plan committee, we've got our,

243
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:38.440
Bobby Gray: I don't remember what our committees are off the top of my head. What are the other committees?

244
00:35:38.540 --> 00:35:41.819
Bobby Gray: I'll pull up the website. I remembered everybody, but I.

245
00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:42.499
Gaige Blake: We got tech…

246
00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:43.450
Bobby Gray: third committee.

247
00:35:44.080 --> 00:35:45.469
Gaige Blake: tech and compliance.

248
00:35:45.620 --> 00:35:46.460
Bobby Gray: Yes?

249
00:35:50.210 --> 00:35:51.150
Bobby Gray: Keep going?

250
00:35:51.510 --> 00:35:55.600
Gaige Blake: Mining, sales and marketing, tech, compliance, finance.

251
00:35:56.140 --> 00:35:57.320
Bobby Gray: Regulatory.

252
00:35:57.630 --> 00:35:58.750
Gaige Blake: comp plan.

253
00:35:59.510 --> 00:36:05.949
Bobby Gray: Yep, comp, enrollment, tech, sales, marketing, sales and marketing, regulatory, finance, and mining.

254
00:36:06.340 --> 00:36:15.850
Bobby Gray: And so, at this moment right now, regulatory and compliance and finance committees are still unchaired, so we have not yet started doing regular meetings for that.

255
00:36:16.050 --> 00:36:30.990
Bobby Gray: We've been hosting the regular meetings for the other ones, but we haven't been, publishing the recordings for that. So these are all loose ends still that have yet to get tied up. We're running and gunning here, we are doing a much better job of planning before we act.

256
00:36:30.990 --> 00:36:43.909
Bobby Gray: But still, we've got lots and lots and lots of little loose ends to tie up, and things that are opportunities to improve. But we need good people to do that, because I'm over here on the other side of the world now, working on our legal stuff, working on our systems.

257
00:36:44.040 --> 00:36:48.909
Bobby Gray: And I need you guys to get together as a membership

258
00:36:49.000 --> 00:37:03.150
Bobby Gray: and build out the systems that IDMC needs to be successful. And I think we're doing a spectacular job. And so, really, active participation is not just a fun thing that we say to, you know, kind of

259
00:37:03.150 --> 00:37:27.460
Bobby Gray: get the regulators to back off. It's a… it's an important thing because we saw a huge amount of participation back in the MyTXC days, and now we're focusing on it because we know that the more active and engaged somebody is, the more likely they are to help us build and grow and succeed. I mean, those are… those are directly connected. Somebody puts their money in, and they sit down on the couch, and they go, that's it, I'm done.

260
00:37:27.580 --> 00:37:36.220
Bobby Gray: They're very unlikely to help spread our message, share our story, learn anything whatsoever about crypto and blockchain.

261
00:37:36.970 --> 00:37:50.760
Bobby Gray: When somebody gets off the couch and they go, okay, I see what's going on here, this is more like a cooperative, and we all have to do our part for this thing to be successful, I'm in. It's a little bit harder of a sell, it's not, just give me money, money, money, money, money, you're good.

262
00:37:50.970 --> 00:37:58.880
Bobby Gray: I got this, it's now… put your money on the table, that's your membership, and then let's all work together to make this thing successful.

263
00:37:59.050 --> 00:38:11.160
Bobby Gray: So we've got some really big and important fundamental changes that went into the structure of this Wyoming decentralized, unincorporated, nonprofit association

264
00:38:11.250 --> 00:38:24.730
Bobby Gray: That gives us a really solid legal foundation. It kind of really confirms and sets into stone this cooperative-type model that I think we've… we didn't pioneer, but we certainly kind of mastered.

265
00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:41.200
Bobby Gray: And it sets us up for building out these committees, bringing people together. Blockchain voting comes next, that's a big thing that I'm working on these next couple days. But now we've got all these great systems, and all these great people, and all these great committees that are helping

266
00:38:41.270 --> 00:38:56.030
Bobby Gray: Take this thing from Bobby's blockchain and turn it into something real and legitimate that is run by a community of participating members, as opposed to one guy that's got his finger on everything that makes all the decisions. And that's a big thing for some people. Now, a lot of people like me.

267
00:38:56.100 --> 00:39:11.410
Bobby Gray: And I know why. And they would really like to see me continue making all those decisions. But remember, guys, I've got a commitment to this project, it's for a couple years, so in that time, not only do we need to succeed, but I also need to bring up a group of leaders

268
00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:20.249
Bobby Gray: that are able to continue to run this thing well, well into the future, when I get to, like, sail away on the, on a boat somewhere as well.

269
00:39:20.300 --> 00:39:26.030
Bobby Gray: That day is not here, it's not here for a long time, so you're stuck with me for a while, but…

270
00:39:26.080 --> 00:39:41.029
Bobby Gray: as you're stuck with me here, let's work together to create a governance system for IDMC that allows us to keep pushing this project forward with all the really great people that we have. Any questions, comments, suggestions about that?

271
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:55.489
Bobby Gray: I think we've got questions enabled. We've only got one question so far. How long before I can have graphics and link, I can make QR code to replace present stuff on my car so people can join through my link, please? I don't know.

272
00:39:55.490 --> 00:40:03.670
Bobby Gray: But what I can tell you is we're savvy enough over here that we can probably get all those old links to continue working as well.

273
00:40:03.670 --> 00:40:19.179
Bobby Gray: Guys, I'm wrapping up the tech stuff this week. It's Wednesday over here, I got 3 more days to keep crushing on the tech stuff so we can start getting the IDMC Daily Rewards, paid out, to the participants and all that stuff.

274
00:40:19.180 --> 00:40:26.550
Bobby Gray: I will put together a couple forms on the websites to ask you guys for problems and feedback.

275
00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:39.750
Bobby Gray: So that if you've got a feature that's missing from an old system, or you've got a challenge that you're dealing with in the new system, you can submit a ticket, I can get it, I can program it, and we can put it behind us. We've got unlimited

276
00:40:39.750 --> 00:40:58.780
Bobby Gray: technical access now, so we can do anything that we want, make any changes we want, so that we can have exactly the systems that we need to be successful moving forward. Really big deal, really big deal moving forward. If you haven't caught yesterday's update, go back and take a look at that, and you'll see what we've got going for us and why.

277
00:40:59.240 --> 00:41:05.540
Bobby Gray: I want to talk real quick about 3 of the important changes

278
00:41:05.900 --> 00:41:18.249
Bobby Gray: that we built into Iskander and the IDMC, because these are fundamental gauge… I'm gonna ask you in a minute for influencer information, as I think you are the guy that's…

279
00:41:18.510 --> 00:41:23.330
Bobby Gray: It's charged with running our sales and marketing stuffs, is that right?

280
00:41:24.540 --> 00:41:32.010
Bobby Gray: Good. So, let's pin you and pin me, and we will…

281
00:41:32.530 --> 00:41:43.889
Bobby Gray: Is this… is this a spotlight? Remove all pins? I don't… I don't know what these features are. Add Spotlight. Okay, I think I can spotlight both. So now I think you and I are stuck up on everybody's screens, I think.

282
00:41:43.890 --> 00:41:44.470
Gaige Blake: Yep.

283
00:41:44.950 --> 00:41:45.670
Bobby Gray: Okay.

284
00:41:46.140 --> 00:41:53.250
Bobby Gray: So, 3 important changes that we baked into Iskander IDMC.

285
00:41:54.510 --> 00:42:02.719
Bobby Gray: I think we call it officially Iskander DMC? Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative. In fact, that's our registered name in Wyoming.

286
00:42:03.340 --> 00:42:08.869
Bobby Gray: Three things. Number one, mining outside of Texas.

287
00:42:09.160 --> 00:42:14.360
Bobby Gray: This is a… this is a really big deal for a couple things. Number one.

288
00:42:14.610 --> 00:42:33.020
Bobby Gray: If we have all of our mine in Texas, and the Texas grid goes down as it has gone down in the past, our network's in trouble. So we want to build mining resources all over the world. We want to take advantage of a great energy deal here, and a great land deal there, and a great, you know, hydro resource somewhere else.

289
00:42:33.020 --> 00:42:49.920
Bobby Gray: Now we have the ability to do that with this scanner. That's important. It's also important because, if you remember in the old days, we said mined exclusively in Texas. And people go, well, is there anybody mining outside of Texas? And we go, well, yeah, a couple people are. Well, now we can look people in the eye and say.

290
00:42:50.070 --> 00:42:53.790
Bobby Gray: The majority of our mine is in Texas, but we're also expanding all over the world.

291
00:42:53.790 --> 00:43:10.860
Bobby Gray: Right? We still have the same level playing field. If you want to enter and join us, you gotta go through the front door, but we've got the mine diversified now all over the world, and we'll add those locations onto a map on the website as we get them cooking. So, that's important change number one. Pretty straightforward.

292
00:43:10.860 --> 00:43:18.680
Bobby Gray: Important change number 2 is we've eliminated for Iskander that international 10% cap.

293
00:43:19.170 --> 00:43:36.299
Bobby Gray: We've got a great team right now in Bangladesh. These guys message me every day, when, when, when, when, we're ready, let's go! And I'm like, we're almost there, guys. And I know I've been saying that for, like, 4 months now. If you're not seeing the progress, then please pay closer attention, because we're almost there.

294
00:43:36.460 --> 00:43:39.029
Bobby Gray: We're very much almost there, but…

295
00:43:39.490 --> 00:43:54.719
Bobby Gray: I will tell you when we are there, and when we are there, and everything's working, and I say go, I know that there's a bunch of people in Bangladesh right now that are ready to go. The numbers are so ridiculously simple, it's not even funny. We need a million people!

296
00:43:54.990 --> 00:44:08.199
Bobby Gray: Now, if we're talking about a million people in McKinney, Texas, well, it's impossible, because the population in McKinney, Texas is, like, 120,000. We would need McKinney, and Frisco, and Allen, blah, blah, blah, blah, like, everybody in every one of the surrounding cities.

297
00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:19.200
Bobby Gray: If we're talking about a million people across the state of Texas, it becomes an easier proposition. If we're talking about 2 million people across the globe, a million with Texacoin and a million with Iskander.

298
00:44:19.820 --> 00:44:20.730
Bobby Gray: Easy.

299
00:44:21.330 --> 00:44:37.219
Bobby Gray: I mean, I remember looking at some of these other projects that we analyzed before setting this up, you know, there are huge communities in South Korea, huge communities in Indonesia and the Philippines. There are big communities of people out there that are crypto enthusiasts and love the idea of having

300
00:44:37.220 --> 00:44:44.950
Bobby Gray: You know, a referral marketing system where they can get compensated in cash or hash power to expand this thing and bring other people into the community.

301
00:44:45.820 --> 00:44:50.609
Bobby Gray: So, the international expansion cap elimination is a really big deal.

302
00:44:51.140 --> 00:45:04.369
Bobby Gray: And if you pair that up with the changes that we've made to the comp plan, with more upside on top for people that are gonna work the hardest to do that, and the fact that you can't max out in our system in, like, the first 5 minutes of joining.

303
00:45:04.500 --> 00:45:17.819
Bobby Gray: We look at a bigger audience, we look at a better comp plan, and we say, this is what we need to go to the finish line. We got really far on round one. We got 23% of the way to the goal, inside of a year and a half.

304
00:45:17.970 --> 00:45:30.869
Bobby Gray: But we didn't get there. We didn't get there. Why is there so important? Because with Iskander, and with MindTXC, the strategy was the same. It is the same.

305
00:45:31.690 --> 00:45:35.970
Bobby Gray: If we build the mine, if we build a big, reliable, trustworthy mine.

306
00:45:37.900 --> 00:45:53.959
Bobby Gray: then the world will notice this, they'll build on top of our network, and the crypto community will embrace us as one of their own, and we'll have a billion dollar coin. That's it. But we didn't finish the work. We're still a work in progress. The paint's still wet.

307
00:45:54.020 --> 00:46:11.049
Bobby Gray: But now we've got these changes that have given us the ability to go further and faster internationally, and that really matters. Because when that cash comes in, we take it, we put it towards building the mine, we put it towards paying commissions. And, most important, number 3 change on the list, we put it towards…

308
00:46:11.050 --> 00:46:14.139
Bobby Gray: influencers. Now, this has been a big pain point.

309
00:46:14.200 --> 00:46:16.819
Bobby Gray: for a lot of people, they're like, Bobby.

310
00:46:16.980 --> 00:46:19.739
Bobby Gray: What are you doing? You got the money.

311
00:46:20.160 --> 00:46:37.170
Bobby Gray: Go hire the influencers, pump this coin, bro, get this thing onto the billion dollar list. You told us in the beginning it was gonna cost a million bucks worth of pumps to get Hawk2Girl and all of her friends out there to, like, promote this thing. Let's go! You got the money, right?

312
00:46:37.720 --> 00:46:46.960
Bobby Gray: And I go, yeah, we got the money, but we have a no-influencer strategy. Why? Because we don't want this thing to pump up to a billion dollar value and then crash right back down.

313
00:46:47.090 --> 00:46:49.909
Bobby Gray: We know how painful it is when we go to a…

314
00:46:50.040 --> 00:46:53.109
Bobby Gray: $300 million value, and crashed back down.

315
00:46:53.250 --> 00:46:58.879
Bobby Gray: We make a lot of enemies in that process. It's not our fault. We didn't do it, that's what the market does.

316
00:46:59.080 --> 00:47:11.860
Bobby Gray: But if we grow, you know, slow and steady through a real purpose and utility, it gives us a much higher likelihood of a long-term win than a flash in the pan that can be produced through an influencer.

317
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:22.130
Bobby Gray: Now… Are we dropping our pants on the no-influencer strategy, and we're going, YOLO, let's try it out? No.

318
00:47:22.300 --> 00:47:26.730
Bobby Gray: What we've got now with Iskander is a hybrid approach.

319
00:47:27.850 --> 00:47:43.999
Bobby Gray: So on the Texacoin side, we're not doing influencers. We've got our marketing and promotion strategy. We're going to put the majority of our money into, you know, long-term utility relationship building. We'll still do the advertising and promotion, the supercars, the hot air balloons, the, you know.

320
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:48.469
Bobby Gray: Billboards and the advertising out of home and all that stuff. We'll still do that.

321
00:47:49.290 --> 00:47:53.229
Bobby Gray: But we'll hand off to our friends at Iskander

322
00:47:53.530 --> 00:48:02.510
Bobby Gray: the responsibility of finding the influencers for that wow factor promotion. Gauge, what do we have

323
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:06.170
Bobby Gray: I don't think we have anything exciting, so don't get too excited about this build-up.

324
00:48:06.310 --> 00:48:21.570
Bobby Gray: But tell me that we're working right now on something to bring on some micro-influencers, or some influencers, or some people that can start to talk about us on social media, because our social media is pretty much dead these days. I don't even know if we have social media for Iskander.

325
00:48:21.570 --> 00:48:33.069
Gaige Blake: We do, we do, and I see them, so they're, they're posting every day, so, we do have social media, but, no, we met these guys, that I've been working with now,

326
00:48:33.070 --> 00:48:45.209
Gaige Blake: we had our first talk just the other day, in live, real person, and then we've got a follow-up here towards the end of the week. But we met these guys at the Crypto Polo Cup, you know?

327
00:48:45.210 --> 00:48:45.970
Bobby Gray: Oh, okay.

328
00:48:46.220 --> 00:49:01.330
Gaige Blake: So, at first I thought it was just an influencer. I thought he was just, the couple guys that made content and that were crypto influencers. And turns out they have a wide connection of influencers, and they have their own marketing company.

329
00:49:01.420 --> 00:49:13.279
Gaige Blake: That they kind of structure all these different influencers, and there's all different levels, you know? They've got the micro-influencers, they've got the medium-level guys, and then they've got some really big guys, and so… or some big people.

330
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:28.160
Gaige Blake: And so, you know, we haven't really dove into everything yet. Like I said, I've just started talking with them. We just finally got put together this week. But, but,

331
00:49:28.860 --> 00:49:36.759
Gaige Blake: the guy that we met at Crypto Polo Cup really likes our project. And that was kind of the core thing that I was looking for.

332
00:49:36.780 --> 00:49:51.320
Gaige Blake: You know, when we're going out there and talking about hiring influencers to promote our project, well, we don't want some guys that are just in it for the money, we want some people that really understand and, can promote our project in the right way.

333
00:49:51.400 --> 00:50:11.160
Gaige Blake: Right? And so, the fact that we got to spend a lot of time with them in person at the Crypto Polo Cup and have them understand our project, really laid the groundwork to this discussion really, really well. And then, when they told me that they had multitudes and multitudes of influencers in their pocket, that we could expand with.

334
00:50:11.160 --> 00:50:17.269
Gaige Blake: I thought that was really great. And so, I can't think of the name of their company off the top of my head. They told me the other day.

335
00:50:17.270 --> 00:50:17.850
Bobby Gray: Jordan.

336
00:50:18.290 --> 00:50:22.679
Gaige Blake: But yeah, that's what I'm working on right now. Okay.

337
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:36.630
Bobby Gray: Let me tell you why it's critical, because we're starting to get the groundswell going. We're starting to get the excitement, and the money is beginning to come in. What we did in Texacoin days is we stockpiled a majority of that money.

338
00:50:36.630 --> 00:50:45.870
Bobby Gray: We said, we're going to set this aside for later. We don't want to spend all this money right now just on filling seats. We want to have the vast majority of our resources

339
00:50:45.890 --> 00:50:47.729
Bobby Gray: Available for later.

340
00:50:48.860 --> 00:50:51.099
Bobby Gray: With this scanner, we're spending the money now.

341
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:53.820
Bobby Gray: So, what we need to see is…

342
00:50:53.990 --> 00:51:13.559
Bobby Gray: a good decision on how to sprinkle that. We don't need to put all of our eggs in one basket, we're not going for the moon on Step 1, but let's start going right now. Like, like, not tonight, but, like, this week. Let's get our first couple micro-influencers going, let's…

343
00:51:13.970 --> 00:51:29.139
Bobby Gray: really hammer down those key talking points that we want those influencers to communicate to their people out there, but let's get it going now. What we need to do is we need to go back to the membership, and we gotta go, money came in.

344
00:51:29.140 --> 00:51:44.280
Bobby Gray: Money went out. Money came in, money went out. Money in, money out. Now, we're gonna keep some over here for reserves, for our liquidity, for our rainy day fund, but money comes in, money goes out. We want to do that real time. I don't know if you've seen on the website, guys.

345
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:53.730
Bobby Gray: But we are taking all of our, proof information. If you remember back in the old days with

346
00:51:53.740 --> 00:52:01.909
Bobby Gray: The charts on the TXC, or the MindTXE website, showed you how much money came in and where it went. Now, you've got painful detail.

347
00:52:01.930 --> 00:52:17.670
Bobby Gray: of where all that money goes. You can see how much we're spending every week on our, payroll, you can see promotion and influencer expenses, you can see, you know, $30,000 that we spent for the BitMart listing agreement.

348
00:52:17.860 --> 00:52:20.809
Bobby Gray: And not only that, this was always my dream.

349
00:52:20.970 --> 00:52:24.870
Bobby Gray: Now we have it. You can click on it, and it'll load you the link!

350
00:52:25.560 --> 00:52:32.949
Bobby Gray: of that official agreement, and you can see it all in black and white, and it's saved in IPFS permanently.

351
00:52:33.300 --> 00:52:39.129
Bobby Gray: And so, this was what we wanted to put together, and we're circling back around now to do exactly this, but…

352
00:52:39.160 --> 00:52:53.840
Bobby Gray: full transparency, and what we want you to see, this week, this much money came in, and this much money went out. This week, the money's turning over. This week, the money's turning over. So that way, we're increasing the velocity

353
00:52:54.040 --> 00:53:07.030
Bobby Gray: of this cycle, and we saw it happen before. Money came in, add a billboard. Money came in, add an advertisement. And as these things increase in their velocity, we get to where we want to go much more quickly.

354
00:53:07.270 --> 00:53:08.560
Bobby Gray: And so…

355
00:53:08.560 --> 00:53:30.600
Bobby Gray: I want you to take that as a specific, you know, instruction to reach out to this team that you're working with, and start to light the fire on that. Because we've got money coming in, and we've got to put it to use, and we've got to prove to our membership that we've done real time, as close to real time as we can get, that we're following through with the commitments that we said to them. Now, same as we've always done.

356
00:53:30.600 --> 00:53:33.239
Bobby Gray: But now, with more detail, and with a

357
00:53:33.240 --> 00:53:42.910
Bobby Gray: higher velocity, so we get to see the results, the fruits of those labors, much more quickly than we might have seen them in the past. All right?

358
00:53:43.160 --> 00:54:03.089
Bobby Gray: So, big thing I want us to focus on there. Guys, what else do you want to focus on this week? That's what I had on my list, why IDMC, what's different, structure, preparation, presentation is still in the process, same strategy, fundamental changes that give us the ability to go further, faster than we've ever been before, but

359
00:54:03.090 --> 00:54:11.269
Bobby Gray: At its core, the same project. Build the mine, promote the coin, pay the community to help us grow.

360
00:54:11.410 --> 00:54:12.479
Bobby Gray: and win.

361
00:54:12.660 --> 00:54:24.140
Bobby Gray: And it's gonna take time to get there. It's still… it's not gonna happen overnight, guys. This is not a get-rich-quick thing, and now it's much more of a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-be-prepared-to-participate thing than it has in the past.

362
00:54:24.300 --> 00:54:34.420
Bobby Gray: Why? Because now we're more clear on what the regulatory requirements are to make sure that this thing doesn't fall into that security classification. I got Fred over here asking, what's the SEC's next step?

363
00:54:34.420 --> 00:54:54.700
Bobby Gray: there's no next step right now. They're doing their investigation, we're hoping that they get through that investigation and go, alright, no fraud, you know, participation, community building, not much to see here. Maybe there's a quick settlement, and we move on, or maybe they just call today, and they'll find somebody else to, to regulate.

364
00:54:55.220 --> 00:54:59.480
Bobby Gray: Gage, anything else for us to add? Thomas, anything else that we need to cover?

365
00:55:02.230 --> 00:55:06.730
Gaige Blake: No, I think we've covered, most of it. We've got some questions to get into, but.

366
00:55:07.180 --> 00:55:17.689
Bobby Gray: Where is the Board of Administrators and Committees for TextSquin? We don't have that for TexasCoin. That's one of the major benefits that we've got with Iskander. Remember, IDMC is our growth engine.

367
00:55:17.690 --> 00:55:38.789
Bobby Gray: So Texacoin's doing the Layer 1, Texacoin's got the Layer 2, Texacoin's got its own things that it's focusing on. Sales are still offline at the moment for Texacoin. The growth engine is now moved over to the IDMC. That's what has the board of administrators, that's what has the committees, that's where the active participation is going down. Texacoin is a…

368
00:55:38.790 --> 00:55:48.970
Bobby Gray: digital asset, a digital currency, very similar to Bitcoin, Litecoin, Doge, etc. So now our focus on growth is over at IDMC.

369
00:55:50.330 --> 00:56:03.890
Bobby Gray: Hmm, what happens to those of us who have purchased TXC mining positions in the past? As in last October, you're all good, your mind's still paying up every single day. Hang tight, guys. I know that the market at 10 cents and 9 cents is not particularly exciting.

370
00:56:04.200 --> 00:56:05.360
Bobby Gray: we've…

371
00:56:05.640 --> 00:56:21.340
Bobby Gray: We know that we have to make a plan for that. I can't say that we've got the plan for that today, but I can say that that's really the big focus next, as we begin to see the clarity on this regulatory stuff and prep for that to be behind us.

372
00:56:21.410 --> 00:56:41.009
Bobby Gray: How is this scanner going to help Texacoin? Cash, marketing, promotion, all that stuff. Hello, Jimmy from Minnesota! How are you doing? Please update us on Utility for TXC. That's tomorrow's call, Jimmy. Tune in tomorrow. Will Texan eventually become a cooperative like ISK? No. Texacoin is a Layer 1 digital currency, hopefully it just exists.

373
00:56:41.070 --> 00:56:48.219
Bobby Gray: So we can read and sign a constitution. No, that's all IDMC. Things…

374
00:56:48.560 --> 00:56:53.990
Bobby Gray: He says, can't shake the feeling that things are moving forward with ice keep being the priority. Look.

375
00:56:54.320 --> 00:57:04.089
Bobby Gray: What we… what we are hoping for is that we've got leadership across the board that is owning these projects independently.

376
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:21.260
Bobby Gray: We've got a whole initiative in Asia that, that needs attention. I'm in Asia right now, maybe I'm the guy that focuses on Asia. Maybe there's somebody else that rises up that's focusing on the dev and tech stuff for Texacoin. We've got a board of administrators that's focusing on IDMC. So, so…

377
00:57:21.290 --> 00:57:29.040
Bobby Gray: what I'd like you to think about is this new umbrella that we've got, that we're calling the Honest Money Ecosystem.

378
00:57:29.100 --> 00:57:49.059
Bobby Gray: And that's the focus now. And Iskander is one of the components of the Honest Money ecosystem, but Iskander is the thing that's driving the cash flow. And the cash flow is the thing that gives us the resources that we need to make really cool, big, important moves. Update on Conroe. I got some pictures from Steve.

379
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:55.290
Bobby Gray: I don't know if I can pull up these pictures here from Steve…

380
00:57:55.820 --> 00:57:59.530
Bobby Gray: Maybe I can pull up the pictures from Steve? There's some drama.

381
00:57:59.780 --> 00:58:00.940
Bobby Gray: of mine today.

382
00:58:02.890 --> 00:58:16.209
Bobby Gray: I can't find the pictures from Steve, but all of the containers are now set in Conroe. I don't know what the next step is, but I can imagine that we are only a couple days away from lighting it up and seeing a major jump in hash power.

383
00:58:16.330 --> 00:58:26.050
Bobby Gray: ISK Cold Storage Coins. Yes, we have an update on that as well. They are minted, and they are heading now to Batam, Indonesia.

384
00:58:26.200 --> 00:58:28.229
Bobby Gray: Where they will be lasered?

385
00:58:29.080 --> 00:58:33.089
Bobby Gray: And, ready for production. Let me see if I can share…

386
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:37.809
Bobby Gray: I don't know how to share my screen with you here. Let me see if I can collapse this.

387
00:58:39.980 --> 00:58:43.510
Bobby Gray: And share this screen with you guys. I don't know if I can.

388
00:58:43.930 --> 00:58:51.490
Bobby Gray: Let me show… Download that. Download that… Download this…

389
00:58:52.300 --> 00:58:55.690
Bobby Gray: Please wait for the video. Gage, what's the next question while we're waiting there?

390
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.000
Gaige Blake: I'm sorry, I'm answering one.

391
00:59:01.080 --> 00:59:04.769
Gaige Blake: When will ISK be on a US-friendly exchange?

392
00:59:06.870 --> 00:59:09.680
Bobby Gray: Dextrade a US-friendly exchange? Are we calling DexTrade a US-friendly exchange?

393
00:59:09.680 --> 00:59:10.070
Gaige Blake: No.

394
00:59:10.590 --> 00:59:13.420
Gaige Blake: No, it is not. It is not.

395
00:59:13.420 --> 00:59:17.510
Bobby Gray: Man, I feel like they're shutting down deposits and refunding money, is that right?

396
00:59:18.010 --> 00:59:32.750
Gaige Blake: Yeah, DexTrade we want to be very careful of. Pionx, Biconomy, some of those, in time, we'll have ISK on multiple different exchanges, just like TXE. It just takes time to develop this stuff and develop these relationships.

397
00:59:33.170 --> 00:59:41.719
Bobby Gray: Well, we've paid for Dextrade, we've paid for… We've paid for…

398
00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:48.900
Bobby Gray: Bitmar, we're on Bitmar, we pay for Dextrade. Okay, I can't get these images to load.

399
00:59:49.010 --> 00:59:55.640
Bobby Gray: Come back to that. What should we go on to for Iskander on USA? Is that Pionex?

400
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:02.090
Gaige Blake: Yeah, probably. I know a lot of people use PionX, and for the most part, I think most people like it.

401
01:00:02.450 --> 01:00:03.110
Bobby Gray: Okay.

402
01:00:03.260 --> 01:00:08.940
Bobby Gray: Alright, well then let's make Pionex a priority. That wasn't too expensive, and it, if it works, and it's…

403
01:00:09.340 --> 01:00:14.080
Bobby Gray: And it's good, we can get USDC, ISK trade pair there, ASAP.

404
01:00:15.160 --> 01:00:15.900
Bobby Gray: Put her on my list.

405
01:00:16.420 --> 01:00:31.010
Gaige Blake: Jason Burch says, gift cards are still incorrect. They only allow you to choose the starter pack instead of 3 plus 2. I understand that's what allows them to do, but I think once it comes through, the enrollment team gives them the 3 plus 2.

406
01:00:31.330 --> 01:00:42.149
Bobby Gray: We can fix it. I'll fix it on the website, I remember that, it's on my list now. Good observation, thanks. I would give the cold storage coins for Iskander another month.

407
01:00:43.270 --> 01:00:44.300
Bobby Gray: Another month.

408
01:00:44.450 --> 01:00:46.310
Bobby Gray: We're… we're making progress.

409
01:00:46.310 --> 01:00:47.020
Gaige Blake: Exciting.

410
01:00:47.200 --> 01:00:49.060
Bobby Gray: It's gonna… it's gonna be a little while.

411
01:00:50.250 --> 01:00:53.430
Gaige Blake: That's very exciting. I think a lot of people are gonna be happy with that.

412
01:00:55.000 --> 01:01:11.949
Bobby Gray: Okay, when will Iskander go? David wants to know if we can speak on Iskander coins that have occurred since day one of Founder. We stated that average 9 coins per seat per day, the last stated 8. Knowing the Iskander back office is not complete, coins not 100%.

413
01:01:13.900 --> 01:01:15.220
Bobby Gray: So…

414
01:01:15.980 --> 01:01:29.180
Bobby Gray: Let me not answer your question, David, because I haven't looked at the status of all the sales in a while, number one. Number two is, I don't think we're showing

415
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:47.629
Bobby Gray: the total sold hash power anywhere on the website. Once you know what the total sold hash power is, you can do the math and say, well, I've got 900, or 2700, or 5400 megahash, and I can do the math and figure out exactly how many coins I'm getting. I don't think we have that yet, but let me put it on my list, and I'll get it there today.

416
01:01:47.670 --> 01:01:53.570
Bobby Gray: hash, power, Total, sales, and charts.

417
01:01:55.320 --> 01:02:01.820
Bobby Gray: We had all that before, and it was really easy to see what the average seat was paying out, or what the average miner was getting.

418
01:02:02.200 --> 01:02:10.239
Bobby Gray: So let's hold off on that, and let's talk more about that on, the call next Tuesday, when I think a lot of this stuff is going to be done.

419
01:02:10.360 --> 01:02:19.960
Bobby Gray: When the SEC is behind us, will TXC start mine sales again? It may start mine sales before that. So, based on the fact that the moneymaker tells me to change car graphics.

420
01:02:20.200 --> 01:02:36.229
Bobby Gray: to ISK being international, as I am in New Zealand. So based on their fact, the ISK money… I'm not sure what that means, Thaddeus. Let's get some more info on that. I could never get my original coin to connect to my wallet. Can I get a replacement? You sure can. Are we talking about Iskander or Texacoin?

421
01:02:36.230 --> 01:02:42.689
Bobby Gray: Kenny wants to know, will Texas TXC people be able to get into ISK after the SEC is over? Look.

422
01:02:42.690 --> 01:02:47.900
Bobby Gray: We've got two things going on right now. We got a cease and desist in Texas from the TSSB.

423
01:02:48.310 --> 01:02:53.619
Bobby Gray: And we've got an inquiry from the SEC. There's no action right now with the SEC.

424
01:02:54.010 --> 01:03:02.339
Bobby Gray: They're just doing their investigation. It's all good. My man Tim today had his deposition with the SEC, and we haven't heard from him yet. Is he still alive?

425
01:03:02.540 --> 01:03:04.130
Bobby Gray: He's still alive, right?

426
01:03:05.220 --> 01:03:19.709
Bobby Gray: So there's nothing going on formally and officially with the SEC, just an investigation. What we're dealing with in Texas is the TSSB cease and desist, and that's going to continue until mid-August, probably early September at the…

427
01:03:20.110 --> 01:03:28.200
Bobby Gray: at the earliest, to get a verdict from the August 17th to 20th hearing. We cannot market, sell.

428
01:03:28.300 --> 01:03:31.239
Bobby Gray: Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I don't have the list in front of me.

429
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:34.780
Bobby Gray: Of exactly what we're not allowed to do. Let me vocalist.

430
01:03:35.430 --> 01:03:37.940
Bobby Gray: If I go to Texacoin website.

431
01:03:38.050 --> 01:03:43.359
Bobby Gray: Go to the homepage, bottom right corner, Legal Updates, scroll to the bottom.

432
01:03:43.730 --> 01:03:49.959
Bobby Gray: Near the bottom, you get the cease and desist. Where'd the link go? Where do I have all the links?

433
01:03:51.980 --> 01:03:53.430
Bobby Gray: What happened to my links?

434
01:03:56.400 --> 01:04:00.879
Bobby Gray: No, that's not good. I lost a lot of links off of the TexCoin website.

435
01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:02.470
Bobby Gray: AI?

436
01:04:02.750 --> 01:04:18.929
Bobby Gray: In there somewhere is a list of what we're not allowed to do, so I can't mark it specifically. Now, I can tell you that Iskander, doesn't ask for addresses. There is no address requirement on the Iskander enrollment page.

437
01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:29.119
Bobby Gray: Let's see, what else? Does DUNA Cooperative have any reporting requirements, like to help with any submittals?

438
01:04:29.870 --> 01:04:45.870
Bobby Gray: We have not yet registered with the IRS. We will register with the IRS. I don't think we're going to have any official reporting requirements, but we do have a pretty high burden with the membership in terms of reporting.

439
01:04:45.970 --> 01:04:57.600
Bobby Gray: So if you are able to help with that, connect with my man Joe, who might be the new finance chair over at IDMC. Are we getting delisted from Mexican? Yes, we are.

440
01:04:57.890 --> 01:05:07.350
Bobby Gray: Very sad. We spent a lot of money to get listed on MEC. Mec sent over a list of their requirements to not get delisted.

441
01:05:07.350 --> 01:05:21.430
Bobby Gray: They're like, hey, here's where we're at. Can you save this thing? And I go, no, no, no, I can't. Some of the unmet criteria. Project price falls below 10% of the initial listing price. -Oh.

442
01:05:21.940 --> 01:05:30.970
Bobby Gray: I don't remember exactly where we were when we listed on MEXC, but it was September, so it would have been somewhere around $4 or $5.

443
01:05:31.030 --> 01:05:33.430
Bobby Gray: So they're saying if we fall below…

444
01:05:33.450 --> 01:05:39.070
Bobby Gray: $4.50? $3.50? They're gonna delist us? Crap!

445
01:05:39.080 --> 01:05:45.380
Bobby Gray: We have fallen below that mark, and there's unfortunately nothing that we can do to save that. Now, the good news

446
01:05:45.380 --> 01:06:01.329
Bobby Gray: is that they can relist us without paying that $100,000 when we're ready. So yes, we are getting delisted, or we are delisted, but we will be back when the time is right. When someone starts a note, are you able to geo-reference that node? We see an IP address, but we don't know

447
01:06:01.330 --> 01:06:04.469
Bobby Gray: Everything about it.

448
01:06:04.700 --> 01:06:16.540
Bobby Gray: Then a chart can be made stating majority mined in Texas. Remember, mining and nodes are two totally different things. Can I use the same TXC wallet for daily mining rewards for my and my wife's reward payout?

449
01:06:16.810 --> 01:06:29.449
Bobby Gray: You know, that's an interesting question. In the old days, the answer was no. You needed a unique wallet address for that. I think, in the new days, we can merge those things together. Give it a try, let's see what happens.

450
01:06:30.120 --> 01:06:35.959
Bobby Gray: Ken says, when will blockchain Mint be open for sales again of all of our… all or most wallets?

451
01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:53.479
Bobby Gray: You know, that is on the list of systems that I have yet to create. I am not doing it yet, because I've got a long list of IDMC and MindTXC dev stuff to do, but it is on the list, and I will have the ability to get it done. Michael says, when or how can we start to see our points from new signups for commissions in the iScape back office?

452
01:06:53.480 --> 01:07:18.199
Bobby Gray: It's on the list for this week, Michael. Currently, it shows number of people, not the points. Yes, everything that we were used to before and more, we will have, and if it's not there, you can submit a feature request, and we will get it. What I mean, you said ISK is bringing in the funds to grow the mine, is what I mean, so graphics need to be ISK, not TXC. No, look, we're talking about the honest money ecosystem. If you want to promote it through Texacoin, if you want to promote it through IskanderCoin, if you want to promote

453
01:07:18.200 --> 01:07:41.390
Bobby Gray: promoted through StreamTXE. We've got a hundred different entry points now to our ecosystem. We've got Crypto U, we've got Zero Choke coming up. So there are a lot of things that you can promote. Pick the one that you like the most, that brings somebody into the conversation, at which point you can introduce to them the other things from the Honest Money ecosystem. Maybe they're not buying a $1,000 mining seat right a bit away. Maybe they're joining and

454
01:07:41.390 --> 01:07:58.610
Bobby Gray: you know, playing games, and becoming, you know, somebody that's participating with us through earning it, on the gaming side, or the education side. We don't know. So, promote what is most natural and enjoyable for you, bring them into our world, and let's engage them more as they're ready.

455
01:07:58.610 --> 01:08:17.490
Bobby Gray: we were mining 9 coins per 100, at least for founders. Now it's down to, like, 4.2 per 100. Yes, we knew that that was going to happen as the mine increases. Hey, Bobby, the TSSP did way more harm to the TXC miners than anything else ever did. Has our legal team addressed that with you? I'm not sure what you mean by harm.

456
01:08:17.890 --> 01:08:22.609
Bobby Gray: Obviously, the TSSB thing is at the top of our, you know, legal list.

457
01:08:22.870 --> 01:08:28.610
Bobby Gray: Ken says, I merged multiple coins to one coin, and it's flawless. Excellent, glad to see it.

458
01:08:28.740 --> 01:08:35.149
Bobby Gray: Are we getting delisted from any other exchanges? No. So far as I know, we're not getting delisted anywhere else, which is good.

459
01:08:35.670 --> 01:08:39.419
Bobby Gray: That's it on the questions. Anything else we want to cover before we call it a night?

460
01:08:41.939 --> 01:08:43.049
Gaige Blake: I can't think of anything.

461
01:08:43.050 --> 01:08:48.529
Bobby Gray: I think we're good, man. Yeah, it's a good call, we covered a lot. Look, guys…

462
01:08:49.010 --> 01:09:01.950
Bobby Gray: You know, message number one is we're alive and well. East Coast Tour, West Coast Tour, more events coming to a town, potentially near you. We're not afraid, we are…

463
01:09:02.700 --> 01:09:15.970
Bobby Gray: aware of the things that we did poorly in the past. We've made important fundamental changes to, give ourselves higher likelihood of success in the future. We did really well in Round 1.

464
01:09:16.069 --> 01:09:22.799
Bobby Gray: And now the new structure is putting us on a char- on a path that,

465
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:27.560
Bobby Gray: I haven't used the word magic bullet, but,

466
01:09:27.620 --> 01:09:40.229
Bobby Gray: It's pretty good. It's pretty good. We still have challenges, we're still gonna meet those things head-on, and we are in no way, shape, or form giving up at all. So, thanks for tuning in, thanks for being here,

467
01:09:40.229 --> 01:09:53.499
Bobby Gray: Iskander Digital Mining Cooperative is the continuation of our mine-building endeavor, through a different name, through a better structure, and with a really great team of people that are making it happen, day in and day out, while I work on the things

468
01:09:53.500 --> 01:10:07.510
Bobby Gray: that have to continue to be built for Texacoin. I'm Bobby Gray, I'm the founder of Texacoin, I'm the founder of Iskander, I'm the chairman of Iskander, but I'm joined by the people that are really making it happen. Gage, Thomas, Joe, thanks so much for Phoenix.

469
01:10:07.510 --> 01:10:24.459
Bobby Gray: And all the other people that tuned in to tonight's call. Really appreciate you, and I look forward to connecting again tomorrow when we talk about Layer 2 with Texacoin and some of the other projects that we're working on there for a status update, so you can see the progress that we've made. Thanks again for joining, and we'll talk to you guys again tomorrow.
