Community Update on FxBlox Firmware

Hello Functionland community,

We've identified a glitch in our latest firmware update (version 1.34.0) affecting the initial setup phase. Some users may experience issues where the app successfully connects to the router but fails to recognize this connection, impacting the display of connected status, HDD size and usage, and blockchain data.

Our team is diligently working to resolve these challenges and enhance your experience. We're committed to creating a seamless, user-friendly environment, and your input is invaluable. A heartfelt thank you for your patience and for reporting these issues—it's your active participation that drives the continuous improvement of our products.

In our efforts to push boundaries and deliver solutions swiftly, we've released version 1.35.0 of the firmware. This update is hot off the press and has not undergone our usual testing process. We invite the brave and the bold to try it out; however, please be fully aware of its untested nature, which may include errors.

If you opt to explore version 1.35.0, your feedback will be crucial for both the developers and the community. Sharing your experiences helps us all learn and grow together.

Thank you for being a part of our journey towards a more empowered and connected future.

Go FULA, and let's continue to forge ahead together!

— The Functionland Team

Important Update for All Functionlanders

Dear Functionland Community,

We understand the frustration caused by the current disconnect issue and deeply appreciate your support as we work through these challenges. Transparency is crucial, and we want to explain our situation and the steps we're taking to address it.

- Small but Mighty Team: Our team is small, and each of us wears multiple hats—spanning programming, fundraising, public relations, and tech support. This diversity in roles is both a strength and a challenge.

- Priority and Progress: Resolving the disconnect issue is our top priority. However, addressing this doesn't only mean focusing on immediate fixes. It also involves securing the future of Functionland:
  - Securing More Funding: Investment meetings are crucial as they help us expand our team. More funding means more programmers, which leads to faster fixes and improvements.
  - Faster Fixes and Better Project: With a larger team, we can accelerate development, leading to a better project for both backers and our development team, eventually attracting larger public adoption.
  - Ehsan's Dual Role: Ehsan, who is spearheading the technical resolution, is also essential in our funding meetings. His deep project knowledge makes him the best pitch person, though this does slow things a bit. Rest assured, this strategy is designed for long-term success and stability.

We are working tirelessly, juggling finance meetings, tech support sessions, and our regular responsibilities to ensure we tackle the current issues effectively.

Technical Tip for Checking Rewards:
If you're experiencing disconnects in the app but remain connected to your router, you can check your rewards directly. Run the following command in your Windows Command Line (as Administrator):

curl -X POST https://api.node3.functionyard.fula.network/asset/balance -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"account\":\"place your blox account here\",\"class_id\":100,\"asset_id\":100}"

Note: Replace "place your blox account here" with your actual blox account in the command above.

Block Finding Status:
To see if your blox account is finding blocks, visit:
[https://functionyard.fula.network/#/explorer](https://functionyard.fula.network/#/explorer)

Important Reminder:
Please remember that restarting your blox resets the 24-hour clock for rewards. Unless it's absolutely necessary or instructed by our team, try to avoid doing so.

We are profoundly grateful for your support and dedication. There truly is no Functionland without you. Thank you for being such an integral part of our community.

— The Functionland Team

Dearest Functionland Community 🤗😍

It’s our great pleasure to formally announce FGA, “Fula Governance Association”, the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) of Functionland Network 🎉😎

Until now, the burden of digesting all the awesome ❤️ and the rightful 💩 was on the shoulders of @keyvan_m_sadeghi. This is not the 21st century way of handling great work, every hero of the community should directly receive the deserved ❤️, and we’re in any 💩 that the world throws at us TOGETHER 💪

We should strive for People Owned Network becoming a reality, and as the cornerstone, FGA will assume its role of Leader of Functionland from today 🥳

The mechanisms for best practices of running a DAO are being incorporated by learning from other projects, as well, we’re innovating on top of these, and discovering ways that work best for the plane of space-time that we’re currently entrapped within! 👽🚀

Please don’t hesitate to provide feedback on the performance of FGA and critique our actions when needed. We don’t want communism here, we deserve excellence 🦄

At Functionland, we value the contributions of every community member and are committed to making sure everyone has a say in shaping our future. We are excited to announce plans for a new voting mechanism, a future addition to our project that will allow all @functionlanders to participate actively in decision-making processes. This development aims to ensure that our community's voice is not just heard but is a fundamental part of our direction and strategy. Stay tuned as we work to bring this participatory feature to life, reinforcing our commitment to a truly community-driven future 🙌

Also our pleasure to announce the current initiative owner of FGA, the savior of Blox, our own one and only @TokenTemplar! 👏👏💪😍

Much love to all,
FGA
