Since Star Wars is a hit and we are discussing centralization -- it is worthwhile to think about the ethics of engineering:

http://www.scifipolicy.com/blog/2016/12/18/rogue-one-an-engineering-ethics-story

The underlying ethics of contributing to centralized solutions which inevitably become instruments of control, surveillance and manipulation over time --  when an alternative system of collaboration without these obvious evils exists -- is something which hasn't really sunk in for folks....

I mean, Google's old prospectus said don't be evil... but then if they really believed that they would have decentralized and wouldn't be collecting all the data on everyone that they are.  It's not that folks wake-up in the morning and say let's be evil (at least most folks).  It's just that most of us wake up in the morning and don't think at all -- we just do what has to be done to get the bills paid and whatever kindness and creativity is left we share with our friends and family.

Part of what should bring people to CRW and other platforms like it is the opportunity to build something better now that we know it is possible.

In the last little note I talked about the economics -- but there is also the ethical dimension.
 
Or there is the ethical dimension to it if you aren't a Sith, or someone who believes that the fate of humans should be similar to cattle.   

The funny thing is that we probably fought the first version of this battle from around 1945 - 1989, against one version of control/evil -- after just having defeated another version of control/evil in a big war... and now we seem to be lined up to fight it again in the digital realm.

People never seem to learn and the Empire Always Strikes Back...

or that's one way of looking at it.  just worth thinking about....

I'm so glad we have you on board. I love reading your posts. Always get the grey material running.

I'm afraid I'm off gallivanting in Switzerland for a couple of weeks again. Sorry I won't be around to help testing. I'll be back with a vengeance!

Will check in on Slack and the thread every day though.

If anybody needs vps resources for testing, hit me up and I'll spin some up for you.

I watched Star Wars yesterday and its just such a great idea and a strong philosophical message behind it, I think George Lucas is a genious - I always saw some similarities between Jedi Knights and Crown. I wonder why was that

Great progress was made last night by infernoman and the dev team in testing how the updated code behaves. We are getting very close here.

Our designers started coding our new web this week, and tlc is finishing up with our new QT look.

I am finishing proofreading of our set of 6 whitepapers together with urban_idler.

A conference call of the dev team is planned for next week to agree on the timing of our release to the public.

Next two weeks will be very exciting

Infernoman and myself are testing the crap out of the wallet.

Finding little bugs here and there that infernoman is quashing as he goes.

We need to test thrones, auxpow mining and a few other things then we're good!

Looking really good. I feel like I'm missing out not being able to help test! Save something for me to do when I get back from the mountains on the 21st!

Oh hello legendary status!

Heh, I noticed the status bump yesterday 

Congratulations!

This looks like a modified version of the AnarchistsPrimed qt we've had this wallet for over a year. You have made it white and just changed the arrows,

If ACP is a dash clone then yes, but if not then no. we're using a similar version to dash's wallet that was in 0.12.0.x With some features added and colors plus logos modified.

[infernoman]

ACP is on a much older code base than what we're working on. Although it may look similar Nothing was taken from ACP.

It was explained to me. Sorry for my miss understanding to the crw team. I want to start a throne soon from home and am researching the best way to have one from my home. I was told you are very hard working and good team.

[infernoman]

That's no problem at all Maverick ACP is a cool guy from when i've talked to him anyways. And he's still around haha there's not too many vets anymore...

Welcome!

I found this, it's about hosting a masternode from a Raspberry Pi (Home), it may tell you all you need to know

Just fixed a bug on throne monitor where some thrones / addresses weren't being updated. Should be working now.

Big thanks to SixOfFive for pointing it out

No problem, glad I helped

Conference call of the dev team will take place tomorrow Wednesday 11.01.2017 at 20:00 CET. Team will be discussing final issues related to the release of our updated code, website and whitepapers of Crown Revolution. Looking forward!
