Hi all, I'm taking the time to write this to try and clear up some concerns and false information around the app and payment system. Firstly, I'm aware of all the missed deadlines. Deadlines are often pushed back many times for big projects, making a crypto mining app with full functionality takes a very long time and it's no surprise that all these deadlines have been missed.
What I'm concerned about is the amount of people who believe the app is supposed to be ready and available. The title, play store listing, description and FAQ all state that the app is a BETA, and nowhere near finished. Please, before reporting or spreading false information, look up what the word beta means. If you don't want to use the app before it's finished, just don't. Wait for the app to be finished instead of pulling our ratings down and reporting it.
If I had to give a reasonable deadline, I'd probably have to say any time between now and April. I know it's a while away, but it's an accurate target that I'm sure we'll be able to reach, instead of constantly saying "it'll be tomorrow" or "just another week" which creates confusion and controversy. Again, if you don't want to use the app, just don't. But please don't go out of your way to make it harder for us to finish it.
I also understand that the way this has been handled is not okay. We're a small team of developers who have never worked on a project of this scale, and we never expected to. We didn't know what to do so we tried to get it done as soon as possible, but that just caused problems in our database and set us back further. I know you probably keep hearing this, but development takes time and we weren't prepared for it to take this long.
Another thing I need to address is the overwhelming amount of hatred and false information that has been spread by users of the app. It's not everyone, but it's a loud minority of users who have been spreading false info via the chat. We created the chatroom as an entertainment function to pass time. There are now people spamming referral links to other apps, organizing mass reports and low ratings, impersonating admins and telling new users that the app will never payout, among other things. I'll go over a few common messages below to try and explain what's going on.
If anyone is saying something like this, stop and think for a minute. 60 cents for doing nothing, and you're complaining to us for not giving you free money. The irony here is that these kinds of messages are against the chatroom rules, and if you violate the chatroom rules you can have your earnings reset.
Please don't use the app if you don't want to, don't go out of your way to make it harder for us to finish it. If the app is reported then we will have our account suspended and then the payment system really won't ever be ready. We've already received emails from Google and it'll be easier for everyone if you just let us finish this app peacefully.
This is false information spread by someone who is impersonating staff. The only legitimate admin account is the one named Tweakly, accounts named ADMIN or admins or any other variation are not official and anything they say should not be taken seriously. While this message may seem like a funny joke, many users believed it and it made the issue even worse.
Firstly, the app is not fake, and we earn barely anything anymore after spending so much on development, support teams, tax and other expenses. Also, ads are the only reason our payout can be higher than other apps. We've noticed a significant amount of people using adblockers and if this continues we will be forced to lower our payout rate. At the moment we're likely going to change the rate to 1 satoshi for every 4096 hashes instead of 1024 when the payout system is ready.
