Ok, this sounds very interesting. However, I've been in crypto long enough (4 years today, as it happens - happy anniversary me) to be cautious. I don't question the integrity of the Crown team, but I don't like the total lack of information around this. At the very least, I don't know whether it's a viable business proposition, or aligns with my interests/ethics, whether the other people involved are trustworthy, and so on.
Is there some kind of balance it's possible to strike here? For example, would you be prepared to give more information on a private, one-to-one basis, if assurances of confidentiality could be given? Or could a couple of trusted community members be given more information, which would allow them to give a broad-strokes picture to everyone else?

Hi Cassius, firstly I can't dispute your feeling of being cautious. As a crypto veteran myself I have seen fenough scams or broken promises to approach things like this in the same way. I personally, and the team more generally, agonised and debated whether we were doing the right thing to make an announcement like this and we eventually decided that it was indeed the right thing to do.
Ultimately, I am staking my reputation on this and that is a big deal for me.
I think you are right, I should reveal more information ASAP if I possibly can. Either to trusted community members or a more generalised statement to the community itself.
Let me have a think about how I can do this safely.
Thanks Stonehedge.
I think it would be possible to give some general information that would help people make a decision without revealing any deal-breakers. For example:
What's the general sector? Adult, gambling? Or Transport, IT, security etc.
What will the funds be used for? Marketing? An integration for a specific client? Or purchasing a licence that is necessary to operate in a particular area?
More broadly, are the funds necessary for something that absolutely cannot be done on a volunteer basis by suitably qualified community members giving time/expertise instead of money?
You're pretty close to the goal
