OFFICIAL ATOMIC UPDATE 15.09.2017
Wow amazing! ✨
Crown Atomic development
...
Thank you, great update as always. Things are looking more and more promising, keep up the fantastic work!
On another note, the community is still growing at a decent pace (nearly 400 people in Mattermost) which is a good thing. However, currently ~99% of the interactions and discussions between community/core members happen via Mattermost. While it's great to see a platform like Mattermost being very actively used by everyone involved, it's definitely not good for Crown's exposure here on Bitcointalk.
Bitcointalk activityThe past few weeks I received several messages - via Bitcointalk and crypto-groups in Slack - of people asking if "
Crown was still a thing" as there's "
barely any activity" in the ANN topic. So far I always pointed them to Mattermost, but it appears the low activity on Bitcointalk is a turn off to newcomers. Here's a direct quote of one of the people I spoke to: "
low activity on bitcointalk portrays theres not much happening or people dont care". While I don't necessarily agree, as there are more factors that come into play (Mattermost activity, social media activity, market activity, etc.), it seemingly gives the wrong impression to people.
Even though there's work being done on marketing, I suppose this problem is something we (the community) could easily fix ourselves. Perhaps, sharing more of the work that's done by the community would be a good start in creating a livelier ANN topic. Allow me to kick off with a project I've been working on myself.
CrownCentral 2.0Most of you probably never expected a new version of
https://stats.crowncentral.net/ and
https://monitor.crowncentral.net/ to come anytime soon due to my continuous inactivity, for which I apologize. Availability and time have been a forbidden luxury for a long time, but yes, this time it's really happening..
Nope, we'll not give an ETA on when CrownCentral 2.0 will be launched. However, we're in the final stages of development and things are looking good.
The new CrownCentral will feature a complete graphical revamp, a unification of both the stats and monitor pages, a page showing active/passed proposals and an option to make voting a bit more user-friendly. Once that's released, we'll be looking into the implementation of automated voting on proposals via your CrownCentral account.
That's all for now.
Peace!
