CROWN Update 8.4.2017Core DEV team meeting in Prague 27 and 28th of April 2017After the December 2016 meeting in London, 6 members of the Core dev team are meeting in Prague, several of which are flying across the Atlantic ocean. Urban_idler, stonehedge, chaositec, defunctec, infernoman, crowncoin_knight will be meeting on the 27th and 28th of April do discuss next steps which will lead CROWN toward our goal: Crown Revolution
Open session for the Crown community The dev team will hold an open session for anybody who wants to meet the team and discuss Crown on the 29th of Aprll starting at 10:00. Please follow BTC talk for further details. We will put an update on the the place of the meeting.
Next code release in May 2017The team plans another release which include the following features. One of the most important updates will be enabling our Throne voting mechanism on Crown. We are currently working on:
DNS NODES
InstantX implementation
fix alerts
fix sporks
throne output ADDR
disable ipv6 thrones (only 20% of the internet is capable of handling ipv6 less in smaller countries)
stronger enforcement on local address nodes (127.0.0.1)
enable timestamping directly in the QT
throne enforcement
superblock enforcement
superblocks
New API, Throne growth and crowncentral.net launchNodes on the Crown Network are currently called Thrones and just sit there. After the May code update, we expect to be testing an API intended to enable the construction of an application layer of the network connecting through the network nodes. So after the May update the nodes will start to become active, and we will be exclusively referring to them as TRONs. This has been an understandable point of confusion for many.
We will also be discussing a reduction of the collateral required to operate a Tron. Specifically, the proposal would be to set the collateral amount to 5,000 CRW in the May update.
The total number of Thrones / Trons grew to a new record of 750 earlier, which means over 2 million dollars in locked value. It also demonstrates the willingness of new investors to hold CROWN long term as ROI is attractive.
Additionally, one of our community members has launched his complex Throne monitoring app at
www.crowncentral.net where you can check your Throne ROI as well as.
We are very excited about the recent growth of the CROWN community and we will be posting a detailed update after our Prague meeting.
