Hi covertress,
Did you get your invitation letter for your visit to China yet.
. What's your aim to attending the conference? I invest in new alt coins as a hobby and I am getting the same vibe from krypton as nem in 2014
. Do you have a specific road map and time schedule to achieve certain milestones ? How do you plan to compete against other ethereum clones or inspired coins like lisk, rise , expanse or even dlisk? Are you catering to certain niche markets maybe attracting more women into crypto industry. I apologize if I sound condescending but in my view you should leverage the fact that there are very few woman in charge of a crypto project and try to develop projects on krypton that interest woman as right now I feel women are in general not interested in cryptocurrency.
Anyway keep up the good work, I bought a little krypton during the recent rise, although I lost .5 btc i plan on buying more, if you keep working like you are doing right now it's a fantastic opportunity for all of us early adopters
Good morning, ashapasa. Good questions. The answers, I'm sure, the entire community is looking forward to reading. So, here goes:
Did you get your invitation letter for your visit to China yet?No. Wanxiang Blockchain Labs (WBL) requires that I purchase the conference ticket prior to issuing me the invitation letter required for a visitor's visa to China. The good news here is that they are offering a reduced rate on the conference ticket to projects just like Krypton. I have applied. Here are terms for the reduced rate:
FOR DEVCON2 DEVELOPERS:
* Discounted developer passes are available for independent developers or developers from startups and small software companies developing with Ethereum (by 'small', i.e., valued at less than $1 million). To register for the conference at the developer rate, please send the following information for approval. Please email
devcon@ethereum.org • A description of the software project and URL
• Your name and/or company name
• Your role in the project
Based on availability and verification we will send you a unique discount code to register.
I am awaiting an email response to see if WBL will extend me a discount. As soon as they do, I will purchase my conference ticket and get back in touch with the person who is issuing the invitation letters.
What's your aim to attending the conference?My reason for attending any conference is the same. I'm not only the founder, but also the public face of Krypton. As such, it's my responsibility to create business connections with other companies who have useful tech for KR, present to projects looking for a blockchain solution, scout for talented devs and secure funding for future development.
Do you have a specific road map and time schedule to achieve certain milestones?Yes. Krypton's dynamic roadmap is on our Trello page.
trello.com/b/JmmF7y7A/krypton There are no specific time schedules assigned to these tasks as many of the items are not staffed yet by individuals who's progress I can monitor. Krypton is still a volunteer community. As more people join our grassroots effort, you will see more of the developing tasks come to completion. Our core dev team is busy with our first major project, while at the same time, planning something very big. More details on this in a minute. When I have a budget to work with, I will be employing individuals to work on specific items and I will hold them accountable to time schedules.
How do you plan to compete against other ethereum clones or inspired coins like lisk, rise , expanse or even dlisk?Excellent question and one that delves directly into the heart of the very big task our core dev team is planning.
Fortunately, our parent chain and main competitor, Ethereum, has highlighted Krypton's way forward. By this I mean that they have shown us what
not to do.
For instance, Krypton will never fork our client to correct errors in an application that sits on top of our client (KVM.) To us, this is simply bad business and only serves to divide the community.
Another spotlight we are very grateful for is the closer look the entire crypto community has been given of the Solidity language used to code smart contracts and d-tech (dApps, DACs and DAOs.) Many of the brightest minds in academia and the private sector are now focused on more secure ways forward with Solidity including edits to the Solidity compiler, best coding practices and even complete re-writes in the form of new, emerging languages better suited to be employed atop the Krypton client. I am closely monitoring developments on this cutting edge of our new technology.
It might sound broad but, what I think will differentiate Krypton from similar chains is our focus on security, not only in dealing with the application languages employed, but also making sure that our client (KVM) is as rock-solid as it can be. This is the major project that our core dev team is addressing: a complete re-write of the KVM client in a language other than Golang, in a language that is more secure. We feel that though this will take a lot of time to accomplish, it will make Krypton stand out amongst the crowd and be more attractive to public businesses and major adopters.
Krypton will not be releasing any d-tech for corporate use until the re-write of the KVM client is complete and we are satisfied as to it's security capabilities.
Are you catering to certain niche markets maybe attracting more women into crypto industry?No but, this side effect is only an added plus for Krypton. Something else to consider, when Krypton does become a public company, whether a foundation or a corporation, it will only be better served by me, a woman, at it's helm, for the specific opportunities afforded to minority and female-owned businesses. I will be actively seeking the appropriate grant opportunities and hope that angel investors would also take special note here.
Thanks for the opportunity, ashapasa, for me to better articulate Krypton's objectives. It helps me clarify my thoughts for when I will be presenting Krypton on stage, as I've been asked to do one month from now in Canada at the 2nd annual FinTech Toronto conference hosted by The Digital Finance Institute.
http://www.fintechtoronto.org/ I believe I've mentioned previously what a great benefit it is to Krypton to have me attend such events and I hope that the Krypton Community will begin to support the Krypton Development Fund to help me do so. Thanks!
