Topic: [ANN] [KRC] Krypton coins - a decentralized Craigslist - page 3. (Read 7084 times)
I just need some more nodes in the network to fix the bugs. I would give away some of the coins to the people that help out so they could test the network. It still needs a few more months work.
So basically you would be mining to advertise to other miners?
most people are interested in the distribution of coin for free , if you think there will be many people who are interested then you are wrong
Hi everyone. I have been working on my new cryptocurrency for the last year now and I'm about ready to test it. I'm wondering if there are any volunteers out there that are willing to help. You can now download the program here. I will be giving away tokens to experienced users on this forum. Check it out and tell me what you think.
You can download the installer here. Send me a message with your public key and I will send you some tokens.

New database file for those who already have the program *make sure to back up your keys first!

This has been tested but there still could be bugs report them to me if you come across anything.
Originally the project started as a peer to peer selling tool like Magento for your desktop. That project was called LiteMarket. After feedback from users on some Bitcoin forums I realized very few people have the knowledge to set something like that up and they don't want to download something new. So I rebuilt the project inline with Bitcoin blockchain tech instead.
The idea is that each coin is actually a set of information like an ad listing on eBay or Amazon. You can update your listing(s) with your private key like Bitcoin and everyone can view the listings through the client or on the web. So it's more like a decentralized craigslist then anything else. I call them Krypton coins as a play on the Superman idea and also Krypton like Crypto. Unlike openbazaar it does not have any sale support it's not an eBay. It's a way for people to post ad listings online for whatever they want and if customers want to buy, the payment would be arranged by the seller and Bitcoin. I hope to make a subreddit about this but my account doesn't have enough karma yet.
The project is written from scratch using Java so there is potential of building android nodes down the line, the system could be completely mobile based.
If anyone wants to you can check out the TOR feed right now you can go to the link below. Each node can display it's info into the tor network for anyone on the system to see. So you don't need the program to view the stuff for sale.

FAQ:
1. What is the POW algorithm, is there one?
Technically it is POW (proof of work) with mining the same as bitcoin. However because I don't want a big database it doesn't work the same as bitcoin there is no history of the first transactions only the current chain moves along as new mining happens so the database doesn't get any longer. Technically there would be a problem if the internet went down for a few months and the nodes couldn't link up the network would fork. That's why bitcoin doesn't do this but for this program I don't think people really care. The slight lack of security is offset by a 100mb database size.
2. What is the relation between the program and the TOR address?
Each program node, like a Bitcoin node, can display information to other nodes. But this program can also display it's content into the TOR network for anyone to see. Like a decentralized website or service. So for people who don't want to run the program they have the option of just viewing the content in the TOR browser. Eventually there will be hundreds of nodes and hundreds of addresses that you could go to that would all have the same info. So in that way it's like a decentralized craigslist.
3. How do I set up a TOR node?
Tor has a tutorial that works well.

The only difference is that in the torrc file krypton is on port 55555 not the 8080 they use in the example so you need to change it to this.
HiddenServiceDir C:\user\YOUR DOCUMENTS\tor\hidden_service
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:55555
After that if you go to your onion address you should see the krypton website.
