Hello, last night I had the first contact with the bitcoin [Suspicious link removed]munity in Santander. It is small but one of the oldest in Spain. The organizer is a guy really focused on good blockchain projects with real use cases as main goal. He is going to investigate Crown, he had some bad experiences. When he does and finds out all our good features, he will help me with a presentation of Crown for Santander, Bilbao and Leon, main Hubs in the north of Spain. We will do it after the kickstarter video, which will be a great plus. Also he is planning a summit in Santander bringing people from all the north of Spain, I will try we are sponsors and exhibitors, this will be 20th January. Companies like Bitwalla, Aeternity and RSK from Argentina will exhibit.

Update: CrownCentral v2.1 officially live!

We are proud to announce that CrownCentral has been updated to v2.1!

This update adds an improved and colorized UI, a fixed proposals page, various other bug fixes and, last but not least, the possibility to both monitor your Systemnodes and calculate your Systemnode earnings. The dashboard page and profits graph have been updated to show Masternodes, Systemnodes and total earnings.

Note: Bugs, feedback and feature requests can be sent to us via the support button on CrownCentral.

Thank you for your continued support and everlasting patience!

Peace!

Is this coin ever used as a currency?  How do the masternodes make any money if no one is actually using it to transact?

I'm happy to announce that Crown is now accepted at StartMy.io the multi-crypto crowd funding platform launched by the MUE team.

Hopefully this will benefit your community and also bring some extra exposure for StartMy

In Spain we are working on a partnership that will be announced formally in the next days. The partner is a company with years of experience in creation and management of  startups in the technological field. We will collaborate by providing services in our platform for their new product, which is a Personal Global Tracker called G-ME. They are recording in the next days a video campaign to present the product in Kickstarter, and we are going to be in it. It will be massive exposure for Crown as a leading blockchain platform used in a real use case. More info will follow as developing teams of both interested parties will start today. We are very excited so stay tuned for more!

The tried adjustment of the market by certain personOrutes has led to numerousOrmost/all potential CRW traders moving on, hence the massive price drop. The only investors left are the ones accountable who're now needing to purchaseOrmarket their own orders in order to keep CRW from becoming delisted because of lack of exercise.if Crowncoin devs put half just as much work into marketing the gold coin rather than trying to manage the trade price - CRW would prosper.

Looking forward to the naming convention!

Systemnode count going up nicely https://crown.today

I do think Cryptopia will add Crown, if you're looking into their rating system:

Did someone contact them yet?

I think the name should capture what the project really is about. If I look at what Crown really is in its heart, I get a few important points: It will be an application economy, which is self-funding, self-governing and law compliant with a strong and organic community.

So I would think something like this would fit:

• Crown Revolution
• Crown Rebellion
• Crown Domination
• Crown Unity
• Crown Population
• Crown Sovereignty

I like thinking about this stuff hehe

Crown Meeting - Amsterdam - November 10-11th

We would like to thank everyone that came out to meet us in Amsterdam. It is always a pleasure seeing so many of us together.

We have made a huge amount of progress over the past three months releasing Systemnodes developed by Ashot, adding Artem to lead our Atomic efforts, and all our ambassadors worldwide. We are extremely confident in where we are positioned. The first Atomic API will be available in the coming months.

Crown believes in a future which is governed by its community, where the leading principles are the independence of the individual and strong social values.

Crown will provide the platform that facilitates this interaction, and powers its creation.
The project is still in its infancy. The team with the help of former Dash developers has created a solid, self-sustaining infrastructure, and is now developing features to create an inclusive platform.

Crown's mission is to become a world leader in blockchain infrastructure, providing blockchain as a platform. In an effort to materialize part of this vision, Crown is working on a humanitarian project in the Caribbean with the potential to impact thousands of lives. We will have more updates on this project soon.

The team believes the current market of ICOs is likely in a bubble. We expect there to be a big correction of the markets, where only those projects with a strong community and a real use will survive - like Amazon, Google, PayPal and eBay & co did in the dot-com bubble.

To elaborate on our strategy, a paper will be released in the coming weeks outlining Crown's position, and why we strongly believe this approach will survive the correction.

Marketing & Communications
We want to grow our community with people who share our vision. People that will stick with us when the bubble bursts and the going gets tough. To this end, our communication and marketing efforts will be intensified over the coming period to reach more people.

The rationale being that up until now, we have maintained a low profile as we have not had totally unique features to market. With the release of Systemnodes and the architecture of Atomic established, we believe now is the time to ramp up our marketing. To this end, a professional marketing team has been hired to support this endeavor.

This means that you can soon expect to see a stronger online media presence for Crown. Starting with the introduction of a telegram group https://t.me/crownplatform.

Team development
To continue the momentum and build up more speed - an experienced developer has been hired to work on the Governance System full time, starting in December. He will work on integrating identity & registration on the blockchain.

Furthermore, a notarization officer - someone familiar with the legal process will be recruited. This will be someone who can take ownership of developing it.

To strengthen future releases, a part-time tester will be hired and efforts will be made to encourage community testing on Bitcointalk. Our system architect, imagineer and former Dash hangaround Chaositec will build a modular testnet, for automated testing.

Last but not least, the options to recruit a project manager or assigning this role to someone currently on the team are considered - to assist the full-time developers.

Updates
Ledger integration was funded by the community & dev team not too long ago. Unfortunately, Ledger decided that they could not support Crown integration due to potential BTC address conflicts. The funding for this proposal have been returned to the dev fund.

In the meantime we are working on Bitcore. After Bitcore is integrated we will be working on the insight block explorer. This will allow for Crown integration on Trezor. Solving the BTC address conflicts will also be looked into, and should be feasible.

During the meeting it was expressed that the current website had an unprofessional feel to it. We are looking at all angles of our project to improve, and welcome feedback from our community.

We invite you to please share your thoughts about the website with us by completing this survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvx7eNbKfMpTCQIcDaBvacKZlpHJDAyQDCeuky3vA5WeFsfA/viewform

Upcoming Releases and Events
Crown will release a naming convention and define terms. To keep more consistency and avoid confusion (i.e. confuse Atomic with Atomic Swaps). Ideas are welcome, and a vote will follow at a later point to decide the naming of releases.

Dash has recently updated its block size. This is their take on solving transaction speed. Crown solves it in a different, more environmentally sustainable and at the same time elegant way, allowing for bigger theoretical throughput while staying lean. The research paper on this method will be drafted in the coming months and will be subjected to an academic peer review.

An official Crown blog will be created to provide updates on what the team has been doing (including ambassadors).
 
Upcoming Conferences
Crown will attend the following conferences, and host a booth at each of them:

• BitBrum - November 19th - http://bitbrum.org/
  
• Malta - December 7th - https://malta.blockchainconf.world/en
