Goodbye Krypton


Dear Krypton Community,

Our lead developer, Krypton-Dev, has quit to join another crypto project, one backed by a Chinese firm.

While Krypton-Dev and I disagree on fundamental ideologies (Me: “America First”, He: “I trust China more than the US.”) I understand that they are paying him well and I wish him the best of luck.

Though I was able to modify an existing block explorer to suit Krypton’s needs, my programming skills are too out-of-date to take over as Krypton’s lead developer and proceed with the complete re-write that this project requires.

Additionally, since Krypton was always a volunteer project and has no development funds donated from the community, it is impossible to find a qualified developer who will work for free. I too can no longer afford to support this project as a full-time job.

So, I am quitting also. I am taking an early retirement from crypto entirely, not only at the request of my doctor, but of my family.

Having always been an open-source project, all Krypton code will remain available to the community on my GitHub account: https://github.com/covertress

Of special importance is the block explorer if anyone from the community wants to take over this project. The explorer is not funded and will shut down sometime this month without hosting.

I’m sorry that Krypton seems to be ending this way. I hope that someone will step in with the skill and drive to see the project continue. In my new quest for a stress-free and better quality life, that person is not me.

I wish you all the best.

Goodbye,

covertress

Krypton Develops Immutable Smart Contracts & Distributed Apps for Business & the Internet of Things

Ticker: KR Algorithm: Script Block Reward: 0.25 KR Block Target: 64 seconds Listen Port: 17888 RPC Port: 17889 Total KR at Launch: 2.669 million Block Explorer: http://explorer.krypton.rocks

Message from Krypton's Founder


After years in the tech sector, for engineering, entertainment, travel & finance companies, I’ve turned my focus to blockchain and building a startup, Krypton, to help companies realize their distributed applications.

KR is my vision for an ultra-fast, public and open source blockchain that employs all of the distributed technology of Ethereum, namely smart contracts, dAPPs, DACs and DAOs, with the best security features of the Bitcoin protocol.

The practical-use cases for this technology are set to explode, from smart contracts for business systems to custom blockchain solutions for FinTech and Internet of Things devices.

Krypton is seeking Tier 1 financing and then will be hiring client and language developers to rewrite the KR client in the most secure language, C, and also to code a new smart contract language to replace Solidity, ultimately making KR the best public blockchain solution available.

Developers with experience in C and Solidity, please apply at Krypton’s Slack: http://Slack.Krypton.Rocks

Investors, let's create something fabulous. I’m building a Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) corporation and an open source, public blockchain. Join me. Let’s code the future.

GUI at least.

[RagingBull]

Swap/CFC is over.

about 2.669 Million KR will be distributed to Swap/CFC participants.

Quick reminder to those who have KR in local wallet:

Make a backup of your keystore folder.

keep a copy of your account password on paper.

[craslovell]

hmmm. should I be excited by this, or are you just riding the eth wave?

[covertress]

You should be excited!

[Godson_Mansa]

okay interested a little

[jimlite]

Please tell me Suprnova pool will be launching this as ocminer is a real pro and mining ETH based coins is a pain in the ass for newbs who don't know the difference between getwork and stratum. You will need pools that justwork, lol.

And why the Gaia swap? This is a new un-related coin. You do know that is the kiss of death. Drop it.

[Anoona]

Has a good look, but yes, this will a headache for crypto newbies, but I will give a look to the coin and I will wait for the release

Well put Jim, now I just wish OC would make a peercoin and emercoin pool too...

Oh forget it, I can see what happened here and where it is going.
Gaia is up 100% the last day. Obviously the devs helping Covertress
are Gaia devs with a boatload and bought more because they will
be able to swap them. This is just starting to smell real fishy.
I'm out unless there is an explanation, swap drop, and purpose for
the coin other than money grab.

You have a valid point, but I don't think it's wrong for the devs to have their own skin in the game. The buy-up of GAIA prior to this announcement would be insider trading, and illegal in hell in regulated markets, but this is crypto, so there is no rule and nobody to enforce any supposed moral corollary.

Bottom line Covertress is quite active in the space so aside from finding an economical way to fund her dev team with earnings potential, I would trust that she is going to follow through with this to a point. Trust enough to trade on it, anyway.

Hah. Guess it may be more worth buying GAIA now and hope for a pump, if that fails trade it in for second chance Krypton, lol

[Arrakeen]

I don't understand why the entire OP is a backstory of some girl...is that your team's marketing strategy?

[WigitGetIt]

How long have you and the GAIA devs been planning this?
This isn't your own currency. Your hosting\promoting a new coin for the GAIA devs.

This does some like a money grab of some sort, but like notsofast said theirs no regulation so, have fun.

Yeah follow through to a point to where it get abandoned, by the GAIA devs after they finish testing on this project.

I like covertress and her promoting skills are great for sure. I just don't see this working out good for people. But hey its crypto, lets see what happens.  

[jimlite]

She is popular on twitter with crypto for a while, so not just some girl. She lends credit to starting a coin, I just don't think GAIA should have anything to do with it. She should have just paid for devs or gave them some premine. But any case I may play a little bit due to her reputation.

[TronREX]

And how do I buy this coin again? 

[andrealandia]

i'm watching this coin
can you add a countdown?

[wildduck]

I`m watiching this coin but i don`t like block target of 0.25.

[sesko]

I don't understand why the entire OP is a backstory of some girl...is that your team's marketing strategy?

Show me, how many coins have OP identity known? from beginning!

REFRESHING, not only CJ is well known in crypto world, but a fine lady covertress she is. REALLY, REALLY REFRESHING and finally a woman behind a coin and she is not hiding.


Or you just want a nice newbbie account?

Now you have to decide, buy GAIA and change for KR, or wait out. After swap, KR will be offered for a 6000sat. You don't need to buy anything, nor gaia holder are forced to swap anything. So many options, and of course you'll have to brainstorm a little bit more, than in other coins.

[CryptoMaik]

is that the whole team, only one good looking lady?

 
I'm curious...but do not invest yet  

A "world" crypto coin needs more than one dev.
