I haven't been in this thread since 2017. But before I went in to read some updates, I wasn't surprised that Wings took a hit 97% market loss hit. Without knowing what went down with Wings in the last two years, I'm certainly amused that the same whining is found here and all the other altcoin markets. Face it, the whole altcoin market was dumped and abandoned.

The price fell below 500 satoshi. Are you joking?
Very bad for all who hold big stake.
In the past, the price reached 37k-100 times more!!! Where is the news about new developments?
Investors are massively fleeing your project because no development is visible  Angry

Delist from big exchanges made the difference and some left this project because of some fake news even the team is active and working and on other side ICOs are almost dead. I think very soon investors will get new confidence as we have bullish sentiment in current market and hopefully it will make possible for Wings to get recover.

I have read that team made new whitepaper. It means that development of project is still ongoing. But we don't know, could it help or not. Situation with their token price is very sad.

The situation is just bad. Investors who did not have time to sell got a lot of money. Without liquidity and community, I think everything is clear at this stage.
Not the fact that after reformatting and changing the project in general will be needed.

What kind of fake news are you talking about? I don’t remember what the wings team would say that.
They are preparing something new, we will wait
I don't know what he is talking about fake news, there is no false news on social media brands,
indeed sadly the price of WINGS has dropped by 16% today, but I still believe in WINGS
the question of decreasing prices is common because there may be a lot of investor who are starting to sell it because they see a rising btc price

The team had everything to become the top 25. Released before the growth of the market held several successful partnerships and promote sirin bancor and adex. And then, instead of rebuilding, they continued to play the same game in changed market.
As a result, the community is no longer here and no normal exchanges(If you do not take bittrex where no one is trading).

Hello. Why did you decide to launch your blockchain? How will it differ from others? What do you plan to do with it?
I want to see an announcement

well, in my opinion ICO is not a profit, it is a means to fund development, marketing and operations, which they (wings) seem to continuously be doing for more than 3 years (i think project was started in April 2016 or so) ? Lets remember they raised afair 1.7 or 1.8 million, not 15 and certainly not 100.

To be precise, they raised about 2000 BTC, which on the day of the ICO was worth 895.67 USD per BTC. Note that on the way BTC rised significantly, even to 20 000 USD at some point. It is unknown how much exactly they sold and how many millions they have, but it is definitely way more than is needed for development of such project. But they deserve it, since people gave them money willingly, just like any other ICO project. I agree with you, that the exact number is unknown and there is lack of transparency, but lack of transparency is something that characterises most ICOs and Wings was not the only one to never report how many funds they had and on what they are spending it, but it is something that you could accuse many other ICOs as well, so IMO not that relevant and I don't really care if they took some of that money for themselves via creative accounting like many other ICOs did, since it is standard practice here and noone minds it as long as some of that money is spend on the project. I am just disappointed by having multimillion sum from ICO  and not spending it on marketing and PR and other things that might benefit the token holders. But I am not here to ask questions what happened to the 2000 BTC and how much of it was spent, if you are curious about it you can further pursue this issue. I am here to ask, why a project that has millions of dollars is not spending fraction of that money on professional PR in times of crisis like this (when price is plummeting, bug cased people lose trust in the project, exchanges are delisting)? Is it so hard to spend some of that mony on additional paid listing, hiring professional PR company to handle this, pay back people that lost money because of the bug, become more transparent about spending so far etc.

I actually checked this now and according to the terms, only 6% was given to the foundation (and another 14m to core members personally vested over 36 months, but thats personal tokens). So thats 6M wings belonging to the foundation from which i assume they needed to incentivise employees, pay bills and who knowns what else, like any other company that has an asset.
Even if they did forecast using the tokens (which i'm not sure they did as i couldn't find anything about it in the quick search i did), what makes you think they actually made a profit ? (forecasted correctly or sold the tokens that were received as a reward). if they did forecast, it would actually be logical if they didn't sell the reward tokens as that would be a warning sign for potential projects ("hey look the foundation dumps our tokens so we won't give a reward").
and lets say that you are right and they did forecast and they did make a reward which they did sell. how big do you think that reward was considering the fact that they were 1 forecast out of hundreds and considering that they probably had a significant number of employees ?

Exactly! 6% is a lot, when you look at the numbers that they gave multiple times, stating that the rewards they gave away so far were worth 120 million USD on the day of the ICO (and note that some of them pumped significatly immediately after launch). Assuming they were average with they answers at best (but do you think the were just average?) it was additional millions of profit. And remember, this is for project only, not including personal rewards of the individual team members. And it was stated multiple times the are using those tokens belonging to the Foundation for forecasting (which they have right to do, this is source of additioal profit for the project). If the numbers you provided are correct, it means they earned ton of money and why it is not spent on some paid exchanges listing, PR, giving money back to the people who lost it because of their bug and additional marketing is beyond me. It might be in their interest to wait for Wings.ai to fall to be able to cash out rest of the money and move to the next project, it might be simply poor management or it might be something else, but the fact is they are not spending this money right. Examples what should be done are in my previous posts.

that's actually incorrect. none of the examples i gave reimbursed people, because they all don't charge people for using their software (despite potentially making a profit from user data or what not)

That's my point. You gave examples of project that did not reimburse, while I was talking about those that did reimburse. This is why I stated that some did and some did not. Wings decided to be in a group that moves full responsibility to the users and does not reimburse in any way, which is their choice, but it also gives a vibe "do not trust our smart contracts, becasue in case there is another bug in them (or in the UI) and your money is lost, we will not pay you anything". So once again, you are free to do this, but then do not expect people to trust you and don't be surprised that the price is declining.

There is no point to discuss it any further.
We now see (partly to your research) that they have lots of of money.
We also do not know how they are exactly spending it (which is industry standard, we all know those ICOs had more money than they needed anyway).
We also see not much is being done to regain the trust (no effort to figure out how many people lost money because of the bug and paying those people back, no immediate PR statement, not spending money on additonal marketing).
Some might think it is OK (like you), some might think it is wrong (like me). The market will decide what happens next.

i agree that this has been overdiscussed; i'll just add that i couldn't find anywhere claims that:

the only thing that i found was a mention that the value of the rewards post pump was USD 12 million (not 120) total. if thats the case and IF they participated in all of them and IF they were right and IF they sold when the tokens were at highest (a lot of ifs, if you ask me), 6% of that is USD 720,000. not that high when you think about it, especially when a full code audit in 2017-2018 used to cost around 200k

but as i said, overdiscussed. wings team eta on the new direction / paper / blockchain ? how can i get an invite to review ? i can provide constructive feedback and i promise no leaks

The team pulled out with the release of the beta platform, and when it happened the market began to slowly crawl to the bottom. Understanding this, they did not invest much in marketing, because it seems to me that they already realized that their project was hopeless.
Why did you need more exchanges? Wings were added to the two most popular exchanges. They were quite enough. Of course, if the project was successful, then the exchanges would be more over time.

Agreed that they should do proper marketing during the release of the beta platform.This is a good project no doubt,but other projects will overtake it if proper marketing is not done by the team.
I am sure the team will do the right marketing during the beta release of the most important platform we must continue to support the team and surely the team will do the best for the project
