[ANN] [KRC] Krypton coins - a decentralized Craigslist

[oldmaid]

Hi everyone. I have been working on my new cryptocurrency for the last year now and I'm about ready to test it. I'm wondering if there are any volunteers out there that are willing to help. You can now download the program here. I will be giving away tokens to experienced users on this forum. Check it out and tell me what you think.

You can download the installer here. Send me a message with your public key and I will send you some tokens.

New database file for those who already have the program *make sure to back up your keys first!

This has been tested but there still could be bugs report them to me if you come across anything.

Originally the project started as a peer to peer selling tool like Magento for your desktop. That project was called LiteMarket. After feedback from users on some Bitcoin forums I realized very few people have the knowledge to set something like that up and they don't want to download something new. So I rebuilt the project inline with Bitcoin blockchain tech instead.
The idea is that each coin is actually a set of information like an ad listing on eBay or Amazon. You can update your listing(s) with your private key like Bitcoin and everyone can view the listings through the client or on the web. So it's more like a decentralized craigslist then anything else. I call them Krypton coins as a play on the Superman idea and also Krypton like Crypto. Unlike openbazaar it does not have any sale support it's not an eBay. It's a way for people to post ad listings online for whatever they want and if customers want to buy, the payment would be arranged by the seller and Bitcoin. I hope to make a subreddit about this but my account doesn't have enough karma yet.

The project is written from scratch using Java so there is potential of building android nodes down the line, the system could be completely mobile based.

If anyone wants to you can check out the TOR feed right now you can go to the link below. Each node can display it's info into the tor network for anyone on the system to see. So you don't need the program to view the stuff for sale.

FAQ:

1. What is the POW algorithm, is there one?

Technically it is POW (proof of work) with mining the same as bitcoin. However because I don't want a big database it doesn't work the same as bitcoin there is no history of the first transactions only the current chain moves along as new mining happens so the database doesn't get any longer. Technically there would be a problem if the internet went down for a few months and the nodes couldn't link up the network would fork. That's why bitcoin doesn't do this but for this program I don't think people really care. The slight lack of security is offset by a 100mb database size.

2. What is the relation between the program and the TOR address?

Each program node, like a Bitcoin node, can display information to other nodes. But this program can also display it's content into the TOR network for anyone to see. Like a decentralized website or service. So for people who don't want to run the program they have the option of just viewing the content in the TOR browser. Eventually there will be hundreds of nodes and hundreds of addresses that you could go to that would all have the same info. So in that way it's like a decentralized craigslist.

3. How do I set up a TOR node?

Tor has a tutorial that works well.
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html.en
The only difference is that in the torrc file krypton is on port 55555 not the 8080 they use in the example so you need to change it to this.

HiddenServiceDir C:\user\YOUR DOCUMENTS\tor\hidden_service
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:55555

After that if you go to your onion address you should see the krypton website.

most people are interested in the distribution of coin for free , if you think there will be many people who are interested then you are wrong

[Vod]

So basically you would be mining to advertise to other miners?

[oldmaid]

I just need some more nodes in the network to fix the bugs. I would give away some of the coins to the people that help out so they could test the network. It still needs a few more months work.

That is true in this case there is nothing for free.

So you are going to pre-mine coins then?

[oldmaid]

yes there are 10,000 and they are all pre minded. However, like i said i will probably give some away to those that want to help with the network.

yes I know it , but the point that I was ready to do anything to get something from you

[melisande]

I don't know how this will go but I had received some free coin distribution on this forum in the past but I am willing to give 0.01 btc as my small contributions towards your project, you only simply have to tell me how many krypton coin you will send to me, when and how.

Would you want to run a node to get a free coin?

[oldmaid]

thanks that would be a great. I can sell you two for that price. Do you want to run the software on your computer? or would you like some kind of paper key to just save them with?

I thought you are offering free distribution of the coin, I am not interested in buying the coin but support it.
If you now claim to sell 2 coin to me for that price it mean the value of the coin is 0.005btc per one.

Would you want to run a node to get a free coin?

of course I want , what should I do for it ?

Your project seems interesting, but it is similar to craigscoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=780334.0 the bad news with that coin is the dev left the project once he already made the money through an ICO.

But in this case maybe i could lend a hand.

In line with lending a helping hand how many of this coin can I earn per month by running a node?

I no longer feel comfortable with this coin because of the similarity to craigscoin, it might be from the similar Dev. be cautious while dealing with this.

Interesting I never saw that before. However, it's an idea that many people have had, just like bitcoin, few people can make it work. In this case I built this program myself and have never heard of this other system before.

Yeah I understand that a lot of people have been burned buying fake projects and I have no interest in that. I myself had an account at EMTY GOX. I still get emails from their bankruptcy proceedings. Thankfully I didn't lose very much there. Anyway, I'm still working on this system and therefore I admit there could be some issues, that's why I'm willing to give out some coins on here to people that want to help me test it. That way you can't really lose.

Well you see there are only 10,000 coins total, so you have to take that into consideration when asking about the amount. I think that I can give out about 1000 for people who want to help me out on here because I understand your taking a big risk with your time. So you need to be reworded in some way. How about 10 coins per month? If I can get 5 people to run nodes that should be good enough to start. You need to know how to use tor and that's it any internet connection will work you don't need a static IP.

I understand so many people have been burned that I need to give them out for free in the beginning to build trust. If you can run a node for a while I will give you 10 coins for 1 month of your computer time. There are only 10,000 coins total. You need to know how to use TOR but you do not need a static IP like bitcoin any internet connection will work.
