Guys I am posting the entire history of fly and what happend and why, also ,were we stand right this second, what will be done about it and how. Its a very positive , wide open & truthfully positive read , you will enjoy.
Side note; Ive been working on some of my own projects for about 9 hours straight, and my brain is exhausted. I always make sure in all my serious posts that my grammar and punctuation is correct. Its just a pet peeve of mine. But this post will have loads of misspellings and grammar erros, as im completley exausted, and badly need to get this post done with a few minutes and head out the door, and Ill fix the grammar and spelling later. Im going to type it as fast as I can, so it will be messy.
Where we stand, and why:
The trust level of fly has hit an all time low. I am fully aware of this , and I know exactly what to do, that will turn us in a much more positive direction. Im not concerned in the least. This does NOT mean I don't care, it means , I know
we will be fine, and no worries. Ok so thats as bad as it gets. The rest is all good news, so sit back, relax and enjoy this post.
First, Its important to understand how we got here, so that history does not repeat itself. I have asked myself this very very critical question, and that is , what went wrong to bring us so far off course, and what I must do as the leader of fly, need to do to bring full stability back to the coin and make fly stronger than ever. I have clear answers to these questions in this post.
How we got here:
This is going to be a very very long post. Ive dont think I will even try to shorten it because it must be written.
First , not everyone here has been here since day 1. Some know the entire story, some dont. So Im going to tell it exactly as it happened, and out of respect for the users that are in the story, I will change everyone's name, except my own, but the facts remain the same. Time line is going to be scewed as im exausted and going to estimate it now, and fix the dates later.
Ok.. so around February 2015 , I was trading like a mad dog, I had bought into loads of coins, and having fun doing loads of trades.
I saw one I really liked alot. It was called "Rock" . It looked really clean with a harmonic community, and I felt really good about it, and it felt safe. So I bought a ton of it. Wallet worked great, mets load of nice people on the thread, and I was happy.
As the months went by the dev who we call "Pablo" was appearing less and less as time moved on. When I got into Rock, he was there maybe a few times a week, and then as time went on it was less and less.
I was still VERY young in Crypto, and VERY naive about how many of the coins were scams. I now know its about 99%.
We saw less and less of Pablo. Rock coin became VERY unstable because of the urest in the thread. Pablo promised for many many months that we we move to Rock V2 and that Rock V2 would be a fantasic coin, and he told us it would have all of these cool features, ect ect.
By July 2015, people were extremely angry at Pablo as he simply was gone. Weeks went by without a post. The thread had a mob like mentality screaming at Pablo that he needs to come here NOW, and the entire thread was extremley agry for abandonding us, after we have put in a lot of money, and we bagan to really really panic.
As I leader, natrually, I stepped forward and stated that if Pablo did not return with xx days , I think 3 days, that I would step in and take full control of the coin. ok.....
That ONE post changed everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!See, I live in the business world, and had for 20 years. So I was sure that Pablo was not going to just walk away and leave his business, I mean I had never seen that in my 20 year carrer in bussiness.
Well, at the stroke of midnight , NOT in the final hour, but in the final minute, Pablo Pms me the Rock V2 binary and says "good luck".
I was in complete disbeleif!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The blood drained from my face as I sat there staring at a screen that had a binary file with basically "ok.. good luck, here you go, have at it".
I never slept that night, and many many nights after, because I truly had no experience with this mentality or caliber of person.
In the business world, we have honor, trust, repect, we keep our word, we sit and read very lengthy documents before we sign, and read every single word carefully before we put our pen on that paper.
Well what I did not know even at that minute is Crypto is truly, "the wild , wild west". I know now, I was on my own, BUT, I did not know that then, and had not a single clue of what to even do.
So, I did the best I could and figured out how to create an OP, and boy was it UGLY.. OMG. Some of you might remember.
Anyway, someone asked me, so when is 'Rock V2" coming out, and I said well.. umm.. ummmm... ehhh.. ummmm.. ya ah, working on it right now..
I was extremley concerned because the way i saw I then is the same way I see it now, and thats that people had trusted me to make their money grow, and I KNEW the financial aspects of money like I know the english language. I am an expert at making money, BUT.....
I DID NOT KNOW CRYTPO!!!!!!!!!!!
I didnt have the first clue about the "OTHER SIDE" , and that is COIN DEVLOPMENT!! I didnt know , I needed to know BOTH extremley well to make that well oiled money machine work as inteneded, I only knew 50% of the equation, and that is money and it was NOT enough!!!
But I dont fail. Ive made thousands of mistakes and errors in my life, I opened LOADS of brick and mortar buildings in Vegas, and ALL of them have done well, and I have not ever closed 1.
Anyway.. I tried to learn code and work on my business projects at the same time. I had to try to learn C++ and Linux and Java with 0 knowledge in 2 weeks flat. I know now to MASTER those is about 10-20 years of your life. I had 2 weeks.
Well, I did the best I could, and actually launched everything and crossed my fingers. It actually lanched, I was in complete disbelief!!!
I let out the longest sigh of relief in my entire life.
One of the users asked me for the source code of "ROCK V2". I said, its not called Rock V2, its called "FLY".He said "FLY"?!?!? I said yes, the reason its called fly is because I just watched the pilot of the 747 we are in put on the last parachute and jump out of the plane laughing his ass off. We are now in mid-air with NO PILOT, because not one person here on this plane knows even the first thing about flying, and we WILL land at somepoint, and I just dont know how hard will we will hit the ground.
THAT is where the name FLY came from!!
The code was full of errors, it worked , kinda, and was buggy as hell. But it DID work, and everyone seemed to be calm as we cruised in the air, having NO IDEA, that I had just learned how to fly a full 747 jumbo in about 2 weeks, and I was in the pilot chair, wondering what all these cool guages do.
The passangers, also did not know that I had it on "autopilot", because I saw the button and pressed it, and it made a BIG difference in the fly. The stability changes from the top of peoples heads hitting the under carraige of the luggage rack to just the bumpiest and most brutal plan ride , that you would do anything to get off right away, and you cant.
Fast forward a few months...
I knew I didnt have the time to code and run my businesses at the same time, so I started finding out who were the best devs in crypto , and I was just going to hire them to code, and give them instructions on what I wanted done.
Everyone kept saying the same devs name over and over, on who I should choose, and his name was "Capslock".
Anyway short version of what happend is because I didnt know anything about Crypto I kept on instructing Capslock to do this that and the other thing with loads of updates.
Capslock, had warned me over and over NOT to do the things that I wanted, and why, and I didnt have enogh knowledge of crypto to understand what he was telling me. I did not make any sense. Now , Ive known for a VERY VERY long time , that he was 100% correct, the whole entire time. I was hard headed, and did NOT listen to him. I KNEW he was the expert, and I was not, and I still to this day do NOT know why I did not listen. He warned me over and over again, and I got VERY VERY nasty with him, and told him to "do it, I am paying you, and I will worry about it". Im truly embaraased and ashamed of my behavior, and Ive never forgiven myself for how I tgreatsed that man. He was trying to help me , the entire time, and I DID NOT SEE IT!!! I owe this man a sincere appology for treating him with so much disrespect, and I will PM him in the next 48 hours and give that man the appology he deserves.
ok...
So all of you know this part, and Ill write it anyway. The wallet was plauged with problem after problem after problem, and I kept pushing different devs to do this and do that. I was so stuck in my own head and what I THOUGHT I knew worked, that i just kept pushing the devs to code what I THOUGHT would be best, how wrong I was
It took about 5-6 months before I finnaly got it. Hardforks are REALLY REALLY bad, and I had ordered the devs to constantly do them. I would estimate about 25-30 hard forks. I had no idea, the damage I was causing, and all the devs kept saying was "well, understand this WILL require a hardfork", and I would always just say "ok then". I did NOT understand what this meant, and the damage I was doing, even after they all warned me.
Anyway, there is loads and loads more to the story, but the relevant information is here to explain what happend, and what I will do to bring us back , stronger than ever.
ok...
Because I ordered so many hardforks, many of the users left fly, as they should. knowing what I know now, I would have left too.
What I must do to bring enormous trust back to fly.
I now fully understand the damage I have caused because of the choices I have made. First , I want to appologize from the bottom of my heart. My intentions, are good, always have been good, but I was toying with something I knew NOTHING about, and I like to think im an extremley intelligent man, but that was just stupid, what i did.
ok....
The good news...
There are a fraction of people in Crypto that can match my ethics and and integrity, and quality of character.
Right now in fly, the waves are very choopy and the coin is very unstable because of the horrible choices I made due to my ignorance of Crypto.
I have purposefully kept it quiet in the fly thread because this will bring first a calmness back to our home.
I need to , first let things calm in the fly thread, and NOT do any wallet updates for atleast 2 months, here is why.....
People are "shell shocked" with the wallets of fly!! Any updates before 2 months will cause even MORE unrest.
Im going to just chat with everyone everyday, and just cruise, let things simmer down.
How will I do this:
The mood must change in the thread for fly to be the success it will be. To acheive this , the posts will set the tone and the mood in the thread. So Ill post about loads of helpful tips and information on tools for crypto, and whats hot in crypto , and helpful information about this or that, thats all crypto related. kind of a relaxed chat about crypto.
This will soften the mood, and raise the moral,and spirit of the users.
What will happen once the mood is calm and relaxed??
I will release a tiny update to boost the rate of the superfly wallet to 200%.
\
Here is why: We have a very large army of promoters in XDE2 thread and the numbers of promoters are growing exponentially every day.
While we are talking crypto stuff in the thread, teamfly will be staking to the superfly wallet, geeting it big enough for the POS boost that will be coming.
The reason for the POS boost is to pay the entire XDE2 team to market FLY AND XDE2 all over the entire world. Yes, I am VERY serious. Both coins will be EVERYWHERE. You will be sick of seeing the names
XDE2 and fly will each play seperate rolls in a marketing monster machine, and it looks this way:
There is a Gigantic team of xde2 promoters now, and its growing like a wild fire , its insane , how fast its growing.
The sheer size of it in a few months, it will needs roles divided across 2 times that play very specific rolls.
ok.. take for example on a smaller scale , what we have with XDE2 now..
lets say... XCOIN contacts me, and says hey, I want to hire the 'Marketing machine" for a month.
I say ok.. would you like to add the " Signature package campaign" for XXX fly for 1 month??? Would you like me to add the "fly swarm package" where we go every day to as many exchange chat rooms as possible , all proof posted for all links on the fly thread for xxx fly??
ok you get that point...
what this does is coin devs WILL want our massive marketing machine, and they are forced to pay in fly. "The Monster Marketing Machine" is already a proven concept in the xde2, it works WONDERFUL,and its flawless.
We will offer our marking to coin devs, they will send the fly to me, and I will distribute that to the promoters or workers, and THEY make money for their time, and they love it. It works!! Look at XDE2 thread.
Hey Ivan.. How many Fly do you want to sell me again??
Later guys, I gotta go. Oww... my fingers hurt.
Vegas
Actually yes Vegas, I still want to sell my Fly. All this is nice and promising what you have written but I do not see a result of anything Fly related for the last 6 months. You talk about massive marketing machine which is part of XDE2, Ok, that s possible, I do not know that coin and to tell you the truth I do not appreciate the fact you have devoted so much energy and time to another coin which you have taken over AFTER Fly. I, as one of the first Fly investors who s believed in all this feel somehow...... betrayed. But let me get back to the point, I do not see a single marketeer doing anything for Fly. I do not see anything besides ideas and promises. Promises I ve heard before.
No hard feelings, I do think you re a nice guy and I m sure you ve been quite successful in your private business. I do hope you ll continue being EXTREMELY successful in your business ventures. However, as I can on the Fly example, in crypto, you still have not had much success. I do hope this changes but tossing ideas and promises is not going to swing me back to hold on my Fly. I say this knowing that I m not important for the survival of this coin. You, Vegas, on the other hand, re crucial. So I d like to see something moving.
