RE: Is It Time For A Spring Clean In The @familyprotection Community?

I will say that I believe in the cause of @familyprotection. That is evident through the posts I have written. I do not understand the whys of things and thus often challenge thought processes.

I can offer the 25% if it helps. I had thought originally of one 100% donated post a month (you may remember Change for Children), but can do the 25% instead. I believe that it would better profit @familyprotection to court organizations and businesses outside of steemit. i wrote about this in a former post in @familyprotection. By relying only on bloggers 'donation' and not outside alliances @familyprotection will be muzzled and ineffective. I believe that @familyprotection would be 100 times more helpful to those who have suffered with the shared funds from these alliances.

As an update to what I said in an earlier comment, I have been hacked by @good-kama and @gtg.witnesses. They stole 663.843 in SBD (worth about $2,000.00) and 22.641 on Friday morning. My reputation was compromised and my comments were spammed. I have since changed my master key and will be blogging on this SOON. I understand that the SBD was traded on blocktrades and traced to Switzerland, Romania and Amsterdam. My upvote was trashed and will take at least a week to have any value. I have shed tears, anger, depression and feel nausea and raped from this. Though I feel so afraid of Steemit now, I know I must go on with Steemit. I learned the hard way and now try to keep little or nothing in my steem tokens and SBD.

It was mentioned that @familyprotction has been flagged. I am sorry to know of you having that experience. After this spamming I was flagged too! In sincere and gentle kindness, a donation can be viewed by some as a fee in disquise. I hope and pray you do not receive additional flags resulting from that.

Again in closing I do believe in FP cause and I have poured all my energy, tears and inspiration into the posts I wrote. I can gladly contribute the 25%. I just need to be told what I owe as this is all confusing.

Blessings. - Troy

That is AWFUL about being hacked. I am so, so sorry to hear that.

I disagree. We have already accomplished a LOT in such a short time. We are already successful.

To reach out to organizations for funds, first of all somebody has to volunteer to talk to them, educate them, and convince them to help.
Secondly, someone would have to take the time to teach them all about the blockchain, set up an exchange and wallet accounts, teach them how to get the funds from their bank into Bitcoin, and then turn Bitcoin into Steem and transfer it over to our familyprotection account or our Bitshares DEX account.

We are keeping everything on the blockchain. The price of cryptos are going to rise substantially in the next couple of years, so our funds will really grow quickly if we receive crypto donations now.

When the time comes to help more people, they will be somebody who already has cryptos figured out, or has a friend who already understands the blockchain and can help them set everything up so that they can convert Steem to their local currency.

Mark and I will not be touching any cash related to the familyprotection account. We will never be a registered charity either. We are not based in any country -- we are blockchain based and worldwide.

This is a small project starting out -- we are two simple bloggers that started it, and a bunch of other bloggers are joining the community. We are WAY ahead of the rest of the world by already being involved in cryptos, and cryptos is great way to raise funds.

I do think though that we could raise funds one more way -- and that is by publishing the addresses of a few different cryptos (ie bitcoin, litecoin, dash, etc) and somehow spread the word around the rest of crypto-space, requesting donations to be sent directly to those wallets. There are a LOT of ordinary good folks who are now very wealthy from having invested early in the cryptos. These folks may like our project and donate, if they could somehow find out about it. On the other hand, the general population seems to have less and less spare cash that they can donate to good causes.

As to telling you what you owe. Since you have been hacked you can't pay for anything from the past anyways. Please don't worry about that. It seems that you only now realized our expectations -- so just start going forward from today.
The next time that you write for familyprotection, after the payout comes through, you could transfer over 25% or more of the SBD that you just received.

Thank-you Troy!

So when I do a 50 steem 50 SBD payout that is 25% of the SBD portion from my understanding @canadian-coconut correct me if I am wrong. I think my last post is coming up soon for payout. Since this hacking, it has put a sour taste in my mouth and need to find the inspiration again to write. I hope to do a few more blogs on the hacking but am not looking forward to it.

Yes. So if you got say 12 SBD as part of your payout, you would transfer perhaps 3 SBD of it to @familyprotection

I'm sure that it feels like a swift kick in the gut to have lost most of your funds. It makes sense that it would take some time to mentally recover from it.
