Goodbye Krypton
Dear Krypton Community,
Our lead developer, Krypton-Dev, has quit to join another crypto project, one backed by a Chinese firm.
While Krypton-Dev and I disagree on fundamental ideologies (Me: “America First”, He: “I trust China more than the US.”) I understand that they are paying him well and I wish him the best of luck.
Though I was able to modify an existing block explorer to suit Krypton’s needs, my programming skills are too out-of-date to take over as Krypton’s lead developer and proceed with the complete re-write that this project requires.
Additionally, since Krypton was always a volunteer project and has no development funds donated from the community, it is impossible to find a qualified developer who will work for free. I too can no longer afford to support this project as a full-time job.
So, I am quitting also. I am taking an early retirement from crypto entirely, not only at the request of my doctor, but of my family.
Having always been an open-source project, all Krypton code will remain available to the community on my GitHub account:
https://github.com/covertressOf special importance is the block explorer if anyone from the community wants to take over this project. The explorer is not funded and will shut down sometime this month without hosting.
I’m sorry that Krypton seems to be ending this way. I hope that someone will step in with the skill and drive to see the project continue. In my new quest for a stress-free and better quality life, that person is not me.
I wish you all the best.
Goodbye,
covertress

Message from Krypton's FounderAfter years in the tech sector, for engineering, entertainment, travel & finance companies, I’ve turned my focus to blockchain and building a startup, Krypton, to help companies realize their distributed applications.
KR is my vision for an ultra-fast, public and open source blockchain that employs all of the distributed technology of Ethereum, namely smart contracts, dAPPs, DACs and DAOs, with the best security features of the Bitcoin protocol.
The practical-use cases for this technology are set to explode, from smart contracts for business systems to custom blockchain solutions for FinTech and Internet of Things devices.
Krypton is seeking Tier 1 financing and then will be hiring client and language developers to rewrite the KR client in the most secure language, C, and also to code a new smart contract language to replace Solidity, ultimately making KR the best public blockchain solution available.
Developers with experience in C and Solidity, please apply at Krypton’s Slack:
http://Slack.Krypton.RocksInvestors, let's create something fabulous. I’m building a Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) corporation and an open source, public blockchain. Join me. Let’s code the future.

Krypton continues to submit service requests to Yobit, requesting the removal of this old KR. Our requests continue to be ignored.
