OFFICIAL ATOMIC UPDATE 15.09.2017


Crown Atomic development

...

Thank you, great update as always. Things are looking more and more promising, keep up the fantastic work!

On another note, the community is still growing at a decent pace (nearly 400 people in Mattermost) which is a good thing. However, currently ~99% of the interactions and discussions between community/core members happen via Mattermost. While it's great to see a platform like Mattermost being very actively used by everyone involved, it's definitely not good for Crown's exposure here on Bitcointalk.

Bitcointalk activity
The past few weeks I received several messages - via Bitcointalk and crypto-groups in Slack - of people asking if "Crown was still a thing" as there's "barely any activity" in the ANN topic. So far I always pointed them to Mattermost, but it appears the low activity on Bitcointalk is a turn off to newcomers. Here's a direct quote of one of the people I spoke to: "low activity on bitcointalk portrays theres not much happening or people dont care". While I don't necessarily agree, as there are more factors that come into play (Mattermost activity, social media activity, market activity, etc.), it seemingly gives the wrong impression to people.

Even though there's work being done on marketing, I suppose this problem is something we (the community) could easily fix ourselves. Perhaps, sharing more of the work that's done by the community would be a good start in creating a livelier ANN topic. Allow me to kick off with a project I've been working on myself.

CrownCentral 2.0
Most of you probably never expected a new version of https://stats.crowncentral.net/ and https://monitor.crowncentral.net/ to come anytime soon due to my continuous inactivity, for which I apologize. Availability and time have been a forbidden luxury for a long time, but yes, this time it's really happening.. Nope, we'll not give an ETA on when CrownCentral 2.0 will be launched. However, we're in the final stages of development and things are looking good.

The new CrownCentral will feature a complete graphical revamp, a unification of both the stats and monitor pages, a page showing active/passed proposals and an option to make voting a bit more user-friendly. Once that's released, we'll be looking into the implementation of automated voting on proposals via your CrownCentral account.

That's all for now.

Peace!

You are right. We will try to encourage everyone to use BCT more.

Hey guys I have released a new site with Crown merchandise. This is great opportunity to wear something that can spread the Crown idea and look good at the same time. If there's any specific requests that any of you have in mind don't be afraid to shoot me a message. The website is: cryptothreads.org  

Awesome, will Crown be added as a payment option?

yeah, I think snoops will be integrating coinpayments which supports Crown very soon as he told us earlier today 

[domob]

The Crown team recently shared some of their latest design ideas with me to get some input, as their plans have some resemblence of Namecoin on a technical level.  The progress they are making with Crown Atomic looks really great from what I've seen.  This team is definitely capable to solve the technical difficulties involved in such a project, and definitely one of the most serious altcoin projects out there!  Comparing to other coins that don't have any technical innovation or expertise, Crown's market cap looks severly undervalued - but of course, the market doesn't always look at the technical fundamentals; there's much more pure speculation involved....

glad to see things are still moving along

Crown never stopped, just moved most of our discussion to our private open source channel Mattermost, we will be more active here from now on though. thanks for your support

I'm doing what I can to get Crown as an option as soon as possible. Bitcoin will be available very soon though

Domob thanks for stopping by, remember you were the one who implemented mergemining into Crown, that is over two years now, and it was the right decision, over 10pct of all miners mining BTC are mining Crown! 

[LucD88]

I like CrownCentral.  It's been useful for me to check up on stats.  Any updates would be a bonus.

Thanks, if you own a Tron make sure to check the Monitor as well.

LucD88 good comments, we are sharing this post among our community members in mattermost, we will be more active here in bitcointalk.

And, its great to hear that crowncentral.net V2 is due soon!

Talk later.  

You are right. We will try to encourage everyone to use BCT more.

That's great to hear guys, thanks for listening to the community. More info soon about CrownCentral v2!

[grapevin]

I had a good feeling about Crown all of a sudden so I bought some today.
I'm going back to sleep and hope to see this coin much bigger when I wake up.
Go Crown!

I am thinking about buying some coins aswell.
New member on this forum and created an account so i can ask some questions

I am thinking about buying like 100 coins.
Question: can they be ''put to work'' in a service node? I like the idea of mining coins with coins i have.

First of all: welcome!

As of yet, a Tron Masternode can be set up for 10,000 CRW, which will mine approx. 4.5-9 CRW per day. In the future, there will be a second type of node which will require less staking (somewhere in the hundreds of CRW, possibly). Hope that answers your question!
You can also join us at https://mm.crownlab.eu if you'd like more real-time answers to your questions.

CRW hashrate reached 1400 ph/s last night

15pct of BTC miners are mining Crown now

Thanks! That does answer my question. Ill probably invest somewhere by the end of this week. The thing that really draw my attention is that about 75% of crown is in trons, which means alot of ppl are holders instead of traders. I believe this will lead to a more dedicated community within crown.

I think your beliefs are correct We're really focused on being a sustainable platform, trying to work with the law instead of avoiding it. That's why darksend (anonymous transactions) has been removed from the code and we're working on providing a legal structure to protect both  Masternode hosts and the platform in general.

[Vivacia]

Seems like the price is going up. Might be to late already for me haha. Insane climb within few hours.

There's some awesome things happening with CROWN right now, it's very exciting! What kind of legal problems do you forsee for masternode holders, and how would a legal structure solve them?  Does the location of the masternode have a bearing on this - eg if you found places that permit them or don't want taxes for them, would you recommend people to host there?

EDIT: I skipped a bit of basic explanation. Consider reading defunctec's post below first

I don't think I'm the best person to explain this, but what it (in my understanding) boils down to is the following:
Crown wants to be a platform where any legal application can be hosted indefinitely. The definition of 'legal' changes from place to place though. And then there's the question of (like you asked) whether it's the location of the server or the business address of the hoster that defines the jurisdiction the Tron falls under.
For example, an issue would arise if someone decided to host an application on a tron that is actually illegal. There needs to be some policy so that these applications can legally be taken down - like any other website - by the law enforcement of the jurisdiction they fall under. There will also need to be some structure to ensure that the platform/network as a whole doesn't suffer from such an event (kind of like how some BTC brokers were arrested because 'Bitcoin is used in the black market').

As to your last question: no - we probably won't recommend people to host in a certain place. That's because we don't really like telling people what to do, except to be creative, experiment and "Build Your Kingdom"

You ask a very intuitive question. I will try my best to clear a few things up..

Masternodes without the capability of mixing tokens (darksend) which infernoman and hypermist have already done, are just fine.

Crown masternodes will have the choice to become a server provider to anyone they choose. We're currently working on Op_Codes that will form the "Development Tools" of which can be used to develop any sort of business on a masternode.

The legal issue is very Importent, one just needs to take a look at the recent ICO/SEC/China drama to see the need for legal frameworks by both public and authorities.
So we take this quite seriously..

Eg..
Masternode is contoled by Person A, Person A acquires a licence from an official Crown licensor within the UK. This gives Person A access to development tools which can be used to build applications on Person A's masternode.

Person A can offer the ability to build on top of the masternodes to Person B, for a fee. Person B will need to sign a user agreement with Person A to assure person A that nothing outside of the user agreement will be performed.

The user agreement will be drawn up by Person A and will reflect the laws of which county Person A resides in.

If person A finds that person B is operating outside the user agreement, Person A can decide to close they're contract, ending what ever operations person B is conducting.

I'm sure someone can explain this even better than myself, but this is my basic understanding.
