Good Morning, Krypton! It's official. I've completed my registration to attend Consensus 2016. Travel and lodging booked too. Yay!
Follow the link above and check out the lineup. It's looking like this conference will feature the who's-who of Bitcoin and blockchain technology.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet these industry leaders and to discuss Krypton with companies or projects looking to integrate Smart Contracts into their businesses.
If you plan to be in NYC during this time, please contact me. I'd love to meet you!
See you in the Big Apple!

Krypton's Roadmap“Now that Krypton’s Crowd Funding Campaign has ended, what lies ahead?” is a question I’m asked again and again.
Rather than answering each question individually via Facebook, Twitter or coin forum, Krypton has created a Trello page.
Trello is a project management tool that allows anyone to view tasks being worked on and to easily identify the progress of each task.
We at Krypton like to call our Trello page a “working page,” though some people in crypto will be more familiar with the term Roadmap.
Krypton’s working page is available for anyone to view so, please drop by. Take a look at what we’re working on.
https://trello.com/b/JmmF7y7A/kryptonWhile you’re there, if you see a task or job that could utilize your special talents, please contact us.
Ours is a busy road ahead but, our working group is growing every day. Come see what over a dozen people are building at Krypton.

Hello, Krypton!
Welcome, everyone. I hope you’re as excited about the launch of Krypton as I am!
I know you’re looking forward to reading Krypton’s development plans, so let me quickly summarize where we are and where Krypton is heading.
Krypton is currently in stage 4 of the life-cycle of an Ethereum-based project. The digital cryptocurrency $KR has been created. **
Krypton will have a website and social media accounts to aid with marketing and dispensing news and development updates.
Once the $KR token has been tested and approved and the Swap/CFC completed, Krypton will be ready for marketing and exchanges.
Allow me to make a quick detour outlining Krypton’s plans to address a common question, $KR’s inherent worth.
In order for someone to see value in this project, one needs to understand smart contracts.
Here are a few excellent articles on the subject:
In the future, trustless smart contracts will be included in most business models, from auto loans to home entry systems. The vast explosion of interconnectivity via the Internet of Things makes this indeed, an unmapped frontier.
I hope it is clear that Krypton is more than a coin. It is, in fact, a token of a smart contract system. This is why you don’t see Krypton listed as some snappy and unique coin with a gimmick. $KR is a smart contract token that has not yet been licensed.
Back to the plan. The next step is to market Krypton to projects that need a ready-made smart contracts blockchain on which to perform trustless transactions.
An example of one such project, currently running on a Krypton-type, Ethereum-based platform, is Augur, which uses the token $REP.
** If you haven’t yet checked out Ethereum’s website (
https://ethereum.org/), I encourage you to do so. Their site does a nice job of explaining the life-cycle of an Ethereum-based project, like Krypton. Ethereum also lists many more companies that are currently employing smart contracts in their business models. Take a look at them.
Consensus 2016 (
http://www.coindesk.com/events/consensus-2016/), CoinDesk's summit on digital currencies and blockchain tech, is only three months away. Companies looking to license Krypton’s smart contract capabilities will be there. So will I.
"Smart contracts are really the killer app of the cryptocurrency world." -- Chris Ellis
I invite you to join the Krypton community by taking part in the Croud-Funding Campaign in the coming weeks. We’ve just begun our journey. The frontier awaits.

Ethereum / Expanse / Shift / Soil / Krypton can do the same thing, and serve the same purpose.
However, with the code base being refined, and being updated to safely deploy DAO’s, DAC’s, and DAPP’s, there will be an explosion of practical use cases, especially in the internet of things field (IOT). Companies will be actively seeking developers experienced and capable of deployment of such new technologies.
What every Ether coin has is developers. What Krypton has is me. I will be actively seeking companies interested in this new technology at Bitcoin conferences, starting with Consensus 2016 and beyond. I will be creating a link between developers and companies that seek them.
Krypton will be presented as an alternative platform to run these DAO’s, DAC’s and DAPP’s. With some developers already on-board and volunteering time to help and more developers available if I am successful in getting work for them.
I am creating a network for the future, one that pays developers for work done and that links companies looking for actual work, not just hype.
Krypton does not have millions of dollars in funding and does not have millions of coins sitting in dev funds to be spent based on time passed. What Krypton has is my belief that I can create the missing link between supply and demand, between companies looking for new promising technology and developers looking for work in a very promising field.
