Welcome Crypto-Fellows and ETHplode-Lovers, after half a year of ethplosive action, we would like, for the first time ever, to tell you about some insights and give you an overview on what happened so far and what we’re working on Ethplode

First, let me introduce myself. I’m Markus and one of the 5 core-team members. Everyone has his tasks, but all have the same goal: continue to grow ETHplode strongly! We are from Germany and Italy, but this means nothing in a worldwide crypto community.

To find out when Airdrop2 ends, you have to be logged in to Medium, subscribe us and give the article a clap. Thanks!

Have fun reading, it will be exciting!

The beginnings

The crypto world is exciting, fast and full of technology. We too have been involved for years and were invested in different Coins and Tokens.

At some point we started to participate in Airdrops. Although with our German engineering mindsets, we were quickly disappointed to see most Airdrops didn’t deliver. They just collected users’ data or worse. Out of 100 Airdrops, we only got 10 different tokens in our Wallets. These projects had a tendency to die faster than new ones came along and the promised $ values were pure fantasy. If a token made it to an Exchange, nothing would happen after the first dump. Except for a few spam emails, that whole work has brought us nothing.

Parallel to our try in Airdrops we discovered BOMB. Clearly the first deflationary token, which would later inspire and generate a whole new asset class, now worth millions (look here at DefCMC).

mattoshi?

In this vibrant industry innovation means rethinking existing boundaries and bringing one more choice to the users, knowing this we decided to include decimals points and a unique stop-burn function in our smart-contract. with the goal of innovating deflationary digital assets, and inspiring others to do the same. Thus ETHplode was born.

AirDrop

Well, that escalated quickly… in the end we had 140.000 Telegram Members. That was the second largest telegram group in the world!

The airdrop Bot worked wonders and the participants rose rapidly. That quickly gave new problems!

For example: The chat participants quickly rose to an incredibly high level, so that just a handful of us couldn’t possibly handle it. We needed a dedicated support team, or better an Army! We found 50 (fifty!) Veterans which helped us moderate the group additional to various telegram chatbots to serve as support and prevent spam.

Also the way our technology works is a big reason for our success. We could have sold these Bots, but we never did.

One word about SPAM, 60% of the Airdrop participants clearly came from a few hundred scammers. There are many tricks to cheat on an Airdrop. Luckily, there are even more ways to expose fake profiles. We put a lot effort into sorting out fake profiles.

At this point, we would still like to apologize to anyone who has unjustly flown out of the Airdrop or belong to the small part that was not treated properly in the chat. We are sorry! We really did our best and tried to keep it fair for anyone.

At the end we delivered! ETHPLOs got transferred to 40,000+ wallets. The transaction fees alone were 6 ETH! But we made it and thus achieved an important intermediate goal.

After that a little bit was celebrated. As expected, a hard dump came after the Airdrop. Many have tried to quickly sell their 150–250 EHTPLO for ETH. Since we had expected nothing else and the price is currently not in focus for us, we were fine. But the first smart traders took the chance to accumulate cheap. Meanwhile we are constant over 30 whales. (A whale is a wallet holder with 100k ETHPLOs). Also, for those who want to take part in the Airdrop 2 benefit from the fact that the Airdrop-Hunters have dumped hard.

The Big Burn

Speaking for all who have not noticed yet: The 40.8 million tokens that could not be distributed in Airdrop 1 were completely burned and are now gone forever. For anyone visible on the genesis Wallet. (Proof at our contract adress on etherscan. Look for the biggest holder.)

It takes a bit of character to burn 41% of your token supply. Above all, we wanted to show you that you can trust this project and that the team does not take half of the tokens to themselves. Think about it, would you had the cohones?

Social Reach

We currently have about 45,000 reddit, 60,000 twitter, and tens of thousands of discord followers. On Telegram we are still in the Nr. 3 group worldwide (proof) and so the biggest TG Group of all tokens out there.

That’s great (and a little bit weired)! But we are still looking for talents who can better moderate and develop these channels than we can today.

Most of all YouTube would be awesome. So if a Youtuber with a little crypto experience and you would like to have 100,000 new channel subscribers, please send us your channel that we can have a look. Our standard is, also for Europeans, high. We would like to have Porsche, Mercedes and BMW moderators. No Daihatsu or Renault.

Even more urgent we search journalists who want to work with us. Please report if you write articles in relevant Blockchain blogs and want to combine your reach with ours.

This brings us to one of our most important assets: our great moderators. 50 of them offer a follow- the-sun-support around the clock. Currently things have gone a bit quieter, following the general market sentiment, but we expect things to change with the Airdrop 2 quickly again. We can count on our friends and collaborators, the mods and admins of ETHPLO. Questions are answered in over 20 languages. Support is given to everyone who asks. Courtesy is always much appreciated in the ETHplode team.

It’s been a real pleasure working with so many great people on such a big, global and multilingual project. Our reach is gigantic, and we are so excited to know so many Crypto pendants. Support also helps the community, including the Airdrop 2 which will end on the 31th of October, this year. On that day, the blockchain will be examined and all valid wallet submissions will be considered. The distribution will take place in the week after the snapshot. If you’re eager to let your ETHplode friends know the date, feel free to provide them the link to our medium!

/rain 10

People love our tipbot. It rained so much that we had to start a dedicated group for that. After having one of the biggest Telegram Groups, we now also had the most active one in a blink of an eye. How cool is that? (Source: Combot Statistics)

It’s just a lot of fun and giving is more blissful than taking. Everyone who is afraid that the tokens will be dumped immediately, do not worry. The wallet of the whole tipbot is smaller than some of the whales. And don’t forget: Reach is the new oil.

Website

We’re working on a new website that will be released alongside a Whitepaper that better explain ETHplode’s functionality and vision.

GIFs

Nothing new, we like GIFs. You can find a selection here: Ethplo memes and gifs getting wet in the raingroup will do it also i guess.

Recap

We made the most successful Airdrop in 2019.

We are the second deflationary token ever.

Have the largest support team

six-digit follower numbers

Above all, we do not take ourselves too seriously, and have instead a lot of fun.

To keep the fun going for a long time, we’re working on further sources of revenue so we do not have to sell our beloved ethplos. I don´ t want to shill here and it will take at least 3 months more development. Maybe 6…

Our journey will continue and it will be a legendary one for sure, stick with us and above all learn and enjoy this ride through the beauties of deflation!
