From the Krypton founder :
"Krypton is planning one of the biggest projects in all of crypto.
A complete rewrite of the ETH protocol, combining the best features of the BTC protocol and also writing a new smart contract language to work atop this badass blockchain, a language to replace Solidity.
Towards this goal, I'm shopping for Tier 1 financing to hire top cryptographers/coders from universities in the IC3 program (Cornell, UC Berkeley, University of Maryland.)
I'll be meeting with the PhD candidates at Cornell during the next IC3 conference in NYC.
Krypton has moved KR from it's original ETH-based chain because it was not possible to secure it against ETH's attack issues. Krypton is still a volunteer project and does not have an army of coders at it's disposal.
Until the rewrite of KR, KR is trading as a fork of Blackcoin, a simple, secure PoS chain.
And we have a few surprises for this platform coming too."
