NAME ORIGIN:
Krona (or krone) is a currency unit used by the most developed European countries: Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Those are best places to work and live according to many global surveys. Let this coin name be a tribute to all what what achieved there.

FAIR LAUNCH - NO PREMINE:

• first block mined just after posting original ANN thread on cryptocointalk
• first block, just like the others before first halving, has 40 KRN

NO PREMINE = NO BOUNTIES

Let the community decide if there is a need for pools and exchanges. If you are a developer and want to help, feel free to add KRN to your pool or other service. Block exlplorer is also welcome.

ANN explanation:
Yes, I am a new user here, registered today. I know. Ekrona was announced on cryptocointalk.com. This is "bitcointalk" with large altcoin subforum, but I think it was not originally intented for altcoins. There are so many pump&dumps here that sometimes it's hard to find something valuable. Besides, who said that only this forum has a monopoly to launch new coins?

the scam doesn't work if they post here at launch. thats why they post on an other site, mine the hell out of it, then post it here. clever scamcoin is clever.

Note that most of new pump&dumps are very fast - 1 min, 30 seconds or even faster. But.. is it really intented to ensure fast transactions or maybe just for instamine during the first hours and days? Here are less than 400 blocks a day. And here 3.3 minutes are enough to be fast.

No, it's not a scam.
"difficulty" : 0.02770916 after one week for a scrypt coin?
Well yes if it was mined only by those who noticed it on the the other forum, no instamine.

And as I said in the first post: this forum is good to get larger exposure, but it's mainly the *bitcointalk* only.

WHAT IS THE RPCPORT?
