Thank you for the update.

-   In the meantime I am working to figure out how to use Crown to help the funding of a water pump infrastructure in one village in Tanzania, something a friend of mine is working on since he visited the village this summer. The use of Crown to help foundations must be a key feature of Crown

Thought in progress, but how about enabling MasterNode/SystemNode operators to allocate a % of their revenues directly to certain projects? This might function as a kind of extension on the superblock process. MNs could vote on the validity of a series of causes, ensuring they were legitimate, had a solid team, etc - a collective KYC process. Then addresses/ids for approved projects would be displayed in the client. A configurable % of revenues could be sent on to these. That could be done manually, of course, but could also be organised at the protocol level.

That seems like a cool idea we should think about! Could you post it as a new topic here as well?
We're trying to organize ideas a bit better and less transient on the new forum.crown.tech

Can systemnode owners also vote?
Not that I want to vote, just curious how it works.

No they cant vote now, but devs are working on enabling voting for systemnodes operators, release next year, watch the roadmap which will be released tomorrow.

Looking foward to the roadmap release. The project is doing great

It is indeed a good idea, but in this particular project we want to fund now, the concern is how to make sure the funds go for sure to the final users of the money. Lets see how we can manage, we will for sure.

This is a very interesting direction, I think the Crown community will be moving in this way.

Thanks for contacting us, we love the concept!

I actually sent you guys an email yesterday to begin a conversation with our core developers.

Personally I've tasked myself with reading your white paper over the next few days to really understand
what you guys have built. After that, i'd like to test Crown swaps

The CRW masternode look marvelous
Masternode owners, can you tell me more ...
while at the same time helping to spread more crw project awareness

Crown Network Status update:
Today at approx 11 AM CET 200 nodes where brought online within a short period of time. At the same time, a large miner experienced technical issues with their wallet, which points to the problematic governance system, which we are currently working on to fix..
These two isolated incidences caused a ripple throughout the network, which caused the masternode and systemnode lists to become fragmented
which is also why you would see some nodes offline one minute, and online the next minute.

Recommended course of action:
Don't restart your nodes, node-vps.com still shows 1062 masternodes online, so we do have a complete nodelist on the network, it just needs to be propagated throughout the network again.
One way of solving this is to use the following old nodes to connect to, to quicker get a new nodelist for both types of nodes.
Current blockheight as of this writing is: 1685692

Do the following to sync to correct nodes:

Add the following lines to crown.conf:
addnode=149.56.109.178:9340
addnode=54.36.78.142:41346
addnode=54.37.241.206:35544
addnode=80.209.232.6:34912

Or open the debug console(Tools->Debug Console) and type the following:
addnode 149.56.109.178:9340 add
addnode 54.36.78.142:41346 add
addnode 54.37.241.206:35544 add
addnode 80.209.232.6:34912 add

This also means that we are defining node-vps' version of the node list as the truth, so some nodes will become missing/expired
but it should keep most online - and stabilize the network over the next 24 hours

Some nodes might be stuck on an earlier block - you will need to delete mncache.dat, mnpayments.dat, peers.dat, sncache.dat, snpayments.dat, budget.dat, then restart the wallet with -reindex.


./crown-cli stop;cd .crown; rm sn* mn* bud*;cd ..;./crownd -reindex

[CHAOSiTEC]

On another node - node-vps has closed for any more crown nodes until further notice

Crown Weekly Update December 18th 2017 to December 25th 2017

Crown and Friends of Cite Soleil Partnership
We have teamed up with the Friends of Cite Soleil Foundation to connect those that have been left out and hidden in the world to improve lives and communities. CRW can be used to contribute directly to them to make a difference in the world. The Crown LATAM team made the first contribution to these Haitian kids to share a little happiness during the Holidays. Our transparent platform can be a game changer in improving the transparency in various institutions that have been fraught with fraud.

December Proposals
We have seen a steady increase in the number and quality of proposals over time and December has been no exception. December had the most proposals submitted to the network of any month thus far! We are starting to see the beginning of the proposal system shaping into a market of competing proposals vying for funding. These new proposals if successful should help to grow our community and the strength of the project. We look forward to seeing how they turn out.

G-ME & Crown Crowd Funding Campaign
G-ME has finished their Indiegogo campaign! You can watch our joint video and support their campaign to get an exclusive GME tracker here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/g-me-the-first-global-tracker-backed-by-blockchain#/

Crown Systemnode Holiday Giveaway Contest
Our contest for a free systemnode with 12 months of hosting courtesy of Node-Vps has begun! It will run through January 5th. It is being held on gleam.io and you can get multiple entries! Enter here: https://gleam.io/uIU7H/crown-systemnode-giveaway

New Crown Website
A community member has offered to fund the development of a new Crown website by a professional web development company. We have begun working with them and are hoping to have it completed within 10 weeks. We hope to incorporate all of the fantastic feedback we have received while maintaining much of the style and values we have maintained that make us Crown.

Happy Holidays!

Chainz explorer seems to be on a different fork of the chain.

NODE DROPOUT & HASHING POWER UPDATE

It seems one of our miners experienced a bug related to the governance system between blocks 1683388-1683398. This caused an error in the Crown chain, which may have resolved itself under normal conditions. However, this bug coincided with ~200 new nodes being added to the network, creating a ripple effect where incorrect information is propagating throughout the network and some wallets/nodes get stuck on an old block.

While we are investigating this issue, transactions to and from bittrex have been halted and explorers appear to be on the wrong block.

We advise you not to submit any transactions until further notice. Furthermore, please refrain from adding new nodes to the network or committing hashing power until we know more about the state of the chain.

We will try to keep you updated as we go and will follow with a recommended course of action.

Thank you for your patience

My wallet no longer syncs anymore....

Deleted entire blockchain folder to restart, it doesn't sync at all or very slowly now. Pls fix.

I had the same problem but after doing everything described in following link everything synced fast.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=815487.msg27002131#msg27002131

Add the nodes in crown.conf as described and you get good connections to valid nodes.

Edit: No I was wrong. It was fast syncing at first but got stuck again on block 1684422 after the resync. I was stuck on this block before the resync too so resyncing after addnodes did not help. So how to fix this?

Edit 2: Waited a bit longer and now it is stuck at block 1684799. I guess syncing is slow and with some patience it will catch up?
Block explorer is at block 1686036. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/crw/
But latest block is more than 10 hours old. Something is not right...

I am blind, just ses above...
