-- Notary service - this feature is a very important one, I would like to see it running on Crown. Who will make it happen?
I´m aware of it and thats way a pointed out this feature. Lets discuss on Slack
-- In Transaction history tab when you want to sort trans. there is Darksent text left which remains the wallet has being cloned from Dash it is not a big issue not at all but good to think to update the text with some next wallet release.
Bigmo -- thanks for you comments and looking forward to discussing on slack.
NOTARY / REGISTRATION / UTILITIES
Regarding the Notary service - there are different elements of this. What we traditionally think of as a notary doesn't quite apply -- what we really need is a method of registering an address as being owned by a specific individual or entity in a specific legal jurisdiction. For a crown address to be able to engage in certain transactions, it is likely that it will need to be registered in this fashion. But if an address is registered - or there is a legal chain of title for the ownership of the address in a specific legal jurisdiction, then it is not a huge leap to the owner of the address using that account to hold title to other assets.
Also -- since the Crown Addresses are formed following the same format as Bitcoin, and other alt-coins use this as well -- and one value of the address system is non-collision -- well then a registered Crown Address could also (de facto) be the registration of the address for other blockchains using the same protocol... there's a missing step in there but I think it can be figured out. But the address protocol matching Bitcoin is probably important here.... and easy to forget.
In terms of how one would implement a "registration" system, or notary -- you probably know more than we do... but part of the idea of creating a (1 by X) matrix of mutable keys in each address (skeleton keys) -- is to create options. A skeleton key could map to an address in a registrar's blockchain, or database... or it could be a key to a lockbox containing information, or just a hash of the registrar's info and the registrant's name address and tax id, which are confirmation of who the registrar is, who the registrant is. No sure what implementation would make the most sense.
But as Defunctec said -- this is an important feature which we will need. Once individuals and corporations can take title to an address in a clear, irrefutable way -- then we clear the way for addresses being no different than other accounts in some ways, in that they should be able to also "hold" other assets, and you start to get to being able to legally represent and trade between these registered addresses.
This registration service will not be a function which the Crown Core will "do" -- independent businesses will need to be set up handling this function in different legal jurisdictions. The Core Team does have an interest in helping standardize how addresses are registered, and having this be a standard utility function available on the Crown Platform, with the registration information -- a hash of or a key to, permanently stored on the blockchain. You can see in one of the papers how we are thinking about this. One essential feature of what the core team will seek to do is not to be in the business of offering services on the Crown Platform -- but to be in the business of increasing the value and usefulness of the platform. This means that we will seek to promulgate (share and distribute) what we see as best practices, and also suggest preferred ways of registering addresses or other things. The benefit of having "best practices" or "preferred methods" is in having a way of doing something -- like registering addresses, achieve economies of scale. That said -- our suggested best practices are likely to just follow what successful businesses implement using the capabilities we embed in the new Crown Core...
There is a whole suite of "utility" functions or applications, like address registration -- which will be a top priority to develop, and which we will be looking for early partners to work with us as we build the new Crown Core, so that ideally they will be ready to be released with the new Core... but that's just another dream at this point....
Thanks for your interest -- as stated before, this only works if other see the value and see a way to do cool stuff with it and also make some money to pay the bills.
