Great new looking website guys! Looking forward to see the new wallet up and running. Just to let you know. Last week I have met guys from trezor - Stick and I´m going to meet him again on Monday to finalize some business deal. But what is more importnant with their latest wallet release they have added support for Dash and Zcash. https://blog.trezor.io/multi-currency-support-bitcoin-dash-and-zcash-in-trezor-wallet-7377d812112a#.dokql189zWhat is great for eventual Crown support in trezor and their webwallet! is that what we need only is working insight fork https://insight.bitpay.com/ which is used at the trezor web wallet backend to process transactions. I´m able to personally contribute towards this because Crown as a application platform and upcoming Trezor V2 could play very well together. https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-security-beyond-bitcoin-c99f27b18b6b#.y8yqjno1x . Just for example simple notary - time stamping service using Trezor and crown blockchain would be cool service. Also today I´ve been reached by guy from slushpool who is currently running the pool for Slush and was helping him with some bitcoin stuff. It may be surprising with my reputation here, but it is true:-) So if there will be any need to push Crown into Trezor or Sluspool just let me know. With 5PH/s is almost sure crown will be added but if there will be any need of any support just let me know. I´m still waiting for the logos and code to finalize the tasks I have mentioned before - wallet-generator, bitsquare . Also the logos should be placed on the new website on some dedicated page to be able to easily reach them and also to let them to be more easily indexed on google end so. I want to type Crown in the browser and see crown logo on the first page on google image search and everyone else searching crown should find crown logo! I wanted to mention something reagarding your Throne network. If I need to setup a Throne now I need to rent out a VPS or setup a Raspberry PI node - I´m going to setup one soon. Have one laying around with any usage so why not to use it for this use case. Setup a VPS or PI be honest is not task for every common joe even with detailed step by step tutorial. People do not like to read tutorials they like to click and go I think someone of you definitely noticed http://bcoin.io/browser.html which is javascript bitcoin full node in your browser. Imagine people running nodes in their browsers using their actual resources pcs, laptops and getting rewards for this. Just for example I´m personally renting my storage to Storj decentralized storage and getting paid for it storj tokens released on counterparty. This is another great way of passive income. What do you think about the idea of running a Throne in the browser? And last thing I wanted to mention is ssl certificate which should be added on your website. It will give the website more credibility and at least from my point of view website with green bar looks more serious on the first impression. Also it is better for search engine rankings. Cheapest Comodo certificate costs 9 USD per year - https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates.aspx which is not a big deal. And even Theymos invested for ssl for btctalk:-)) Bigmo thanks for your comments! 1. Trezor and slushpool - yes push them if you have the opportunity to help this 2. Notary service - this feature is a very important one, I would like to see it running on Crown. Who will make it happen?  3. Logo - good idea, pls take it from here http://crown.tech/history scroll to the bottom, anything else you need? 4. Thrones on a browser - we will discuss in the team, for me it is a good idea! 5. SSL Certificate, this should not be a problem, the question is if this has real added value. Let me look into it. |

All due respect to the development team. The website looks great and I am looking forward to the wallet and core updates. That being said... the white papers while well intentioned are completely overwrought.
The preamble and pseudo-philosophy does not add anything. The lack of clear objectives and lack of technical specifications for what is being proposed is concerning. Moreover, having to sift through all the superfluous text to understand what exactly is being proposed is a detriment. I should be able to look at the title of the white paper or the first sentence and understand what is being proposed, instead I have read them all and feel like almost nothing has been clarified, only confused.
The problems crown has proposed to solve, block size and POS/POW alternative are what might bring value to this project. I understand setting the foundations of the project, but this can be accomplished without the quotes and in plain language that is easily digestible. Too much esoteric nonsense.
Anyways. Hopefully more information about these solutions will be available sooner rather than later.
I appreciate the effort of the Crown Team.
Yes i can agree that unless you already know the intricate details of what we are working on, it can be hard to figure it out from the white papers, that being said, more clarification will come forward in stages, when we are ready to release, but we might try to clarify some of the concepts though. the current problem is we do not want other more wellfunded groups to steal our ideas, but on the same time we want to enlighten the community, its a double edge sword... The problem is, we are working on some things not seen before, and that will revolutionize the way digital currencies work... Just to add to add few things on top of what chaos said. Thank you for your feedback humbepirate, its very important for us to hear other voices here! Pls continue letting us know what you think! Few goals of the whitepapers are: 1. Show people the team is very serious about this and that a lot of thought is being put into this 2. The philosophy language is due to the fact that we have a philosophy major guy on our team, I personally think that it is very important that our paper have much deeper meaning surpassing the code. The code is a good servant, but a bad master. This is one of our key differences from other crypto projects who are thinking the other way around 3. Sorry no simple language is used / if it was we just make it easy for other teams just steal our ideas in the very beginning of Crown 4. Having said the above, these whitepapers will be followed by much more detailed and clear steps 5. The whitepapers are to attract other high profile members of the community among developers, investors, users, supporters who will help deliver what we intend to accomplish I personally believe that since the papers are completely different from what crypto communities are used to, they might be a success and can drive attention to Crown thanks for having patience with us My advice: read the papers several times!  |

Sit on a Throne, its a responsible act.

Am I going mad or is ROI really 9 times better for a Crowncoin Throne than a Dash masternode?!
If you look at it per $1000 spent, I think this is how it would work out - CROWN $1000 / $160 = 6.25 throne ownership // 6.25 * £15 = $93.75 pm, per $1000 invested DASH $1000 / $16000 = 0.0625 masternode ownership // 0.0625 * £150 = $9.37 pm, per $1000 invested If that's right, that's pretty significant figures. Obviously more nodes would reduce rewards, but price should go up to compensate. 9.3% per month interest which works out at about 190% APR if your 10,000CRW/$160USD collateral stays the same value. Very strong case to set up Thrones! |

You guys need a countdown until next release Any idea on when that will occur? I have a mining pool to update as well as wallets for when this occurs and don't want to drop the ball on it. Thanks! Infernoman is fixing few last bugs on the Mac Qt build. He has not slept for a couple of days, now he is resting. I would like to say that in the next 24 hours, but I can be wrong. Travis is quite a bitch  |

SummaryStoneHedge - urban_idler - Crown Team January, 2016 In a series of 6 whitepapers, Crown outlines plans for a decentralised and incentivised application platform that will diverge from current Blockchain technology in a unique and revolutionary way. The final product will be an open and decentralised application platform providing a cryptographically secure method for anybody with the inclination to harness the benefits of the next generation of Blockchain**. **We will repeat blockchain over and over again like a chant, although what we really mean is the use of a tarball of software innovations which include secure hashing, a public key infrastructure, peer to peer networking, encryption/decryption, distributed databases, distributed consensus protocols, cloud computing, open source, git -- you get the idea. Every social or business phenomena is marked by a transaction of some kind. Herein lies the key to truly diverse real world blockchain applications. The Crown project challenges the current Blockchain paradigm, and instead envisions an alternative approach to attaining the holy grail of Blockchain. The holy grail is product of great usefulness that achieves long term and wide spread adoption by providing valuable services and network security through a cryptographically secure and environmentally sustainable method. The Crown team draws on people from diverse backgrounds who share a desire to innovate and a sense that the Blockchain Industry is not innovating enough to convince the world that it is better to work with Blockchain than without. The wave of corporate investment has brought attention – but it has ironically slowed, rather than accelerated the development of trustless platforms. There is a collective belief within the Crown team that Blockchain technology current sits in a position similar to the internet in the 1990s; with great potential but missing the innovations required to make it truly useful. As we learn from the continuing evolution of the Internet, these innovations come in incremental steps. Whether this particular project succeeds, or fails -- our goal is for Crown to bring innovation back to the Blockchain. The Crown Papers briefly introduce what the team is thinking and our goals for the project. An outline of the papers follows: Crown Paper 1.0 – GovernanceIn this paper the Crown team provides a brief background to the project and introduces governance concepts and outlines how the project will interact with both the technology and the community. Crown Paper 2.0 – Introduction & FeaturesIn this paper the Crown team introduces the key entities that will form Crown and the design principles that will be used along the development process. Crown Paper 3.0 – ApplicationsIn this paper the Crown team describes the vision for how applications will fit into Crown and how the platform will allow those applications will be enabled to operate as a business entity. Crown Paper 4.0 - Combinations & PermutationsIn this paper the Crown team explains what makes the project unique and details some of the proposed use models for the platform. Crown Paper 5.0 - Symbols, Skyhooks & SurvivalIn this paper the Crown team muses about what it will take for the project to survive in the current ecosystem and the importance of a shared imagination. Crown Paper 6.0 – Sharing & Open TeamsIn this paper the Crown team contextualises the relationship between economic, social and technological change and what this means for technology such as Blockchain. This paper also describes the evolution of the Crown team and project and its immediate aims for the future.  Amazing effort of the Crown team! |

Hello I am a historian who researches the events/milestones of cryptocurrency. I have published books over 2-3 years: https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Chris-P.-Thompson/e/B00S5L3PVM/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0Would the Crown community be interested in a history book (longer than the first year!) for your coin. We can negotiate how we can proceed. I normally require a community to donate at least 1 BTC to help fund the project. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Chris Hello Chris, thanks very much for your interest in Crown. Would you be able to PM me one or two books just to take a look at the structure and wording? Or at least part of some texts in order to see your thinking. After this we will discuss within our dev team and come back to you. Cheers! |

this logic also means you want to run less, not more through the blockchain -- while enabling the p2p protocols and encryption services in a bitcoin or crypto node to do more -- but just not keep it on the permanent record of the blockchain.
worth thinking about -- because it starts to make ideas like a DAO look silly... my beginning data/computing ethics assumption has to be that it will be hacked -- and if it is then what happens? well it's a permanent entity so the logical consequence is, well, what we already have an example of. we have a logical proof of why the #2 crypto system isn't logically sound because it uses bad assumptions...
but I understand why folks get excited about that... it is the creation of the machine as a god, and this appeals to a lot of folks for whom machines have been more trustworthy than people.
and there is nothing wrong with the idea -- it's just logically impossible to implement reliably -- you have to make assumptions and abstractions that leak in a system that needs to be water tight.
Some interesting points in your ideas urban_idler. As protectionism and nationalism rises in the real world, the open economy will move to the code. This is already happening, just look at our team. This is the biggest opportunity for crypto. It will become a place where people will be able to do business and exchange the created values under an open, fair, efficient and free system making this possible for them. We will hold strong and not back down on our moral ideals. The code is a good servant but a bad master as seen in the Robocop or Tron movies. According to privacytools.io, the Czech Republic is one of the places where they can't make you cough up your keys -- that and Poland, which is where the CCEX guys are I believe. I may be that the eastern European states, as a result of having been caught between great powers, have a better understanding of freedom than American or the UK, who may have gotten to comfortable with the advantages economic might has given them. |

I a so happy with the identity of the new website, everything getting ready for Monday, almost there. I hope we can get our crown.services domain holding get into business soon too! The question is, what is the future service for crypto? Ideas exchange, fair play domain exchange, moral values exchange or what do people need to exchange in order to get real value back and trade? Very hard question guys, no cyrpto project found the answer yet... Any smart guys around here? |
