When the new team members joined the project we were conscious that a lot of time, money and passion had been invested in the Crowncoin branding.  There were numerous more pressing issues to address than the branding and there is no benefit to trying to change too much at once.

I agree, as we get closer to our major releases we need to make some decisions about how we want the world to see us. A potential investor visiting the web site at the moment is going to be left quite confused.  It speaks of the time back in 2014 when altcoins were nothing other than attempts to grab a slice of Bitcoin's market share. Crowncoin is more than that now.

As somebody who has been involved in some major crypto projects I am contacted several times a week by traders asking why on earth I am spending time working on a "Czech Bitcoin Clone". When those messages stop, I'll consider the branding to have been balanced successfully.

You have the advantage of knowing the dev plan.  I'm just making suggestions, and investing capital in the coin.  

There are abundant opportunities and a large market in Europe.  I just imagined that if you have new tech which hasn't been introduced before, it is strange to launch it while also limiting the target market for the new technology to one segment of where that tech could add value.

Granted that's not a very deep thought - just an obvious question which I would hope for a considered response to.  

I understand that the coin was founded with a set of ideas and a story around it -- but I also understand that coins which have succeeded like XCoin, I mean Darkcoin, I mean Dash, I mean Dash Evolution -- recreate and reinvent themselves as they move into the future and adapt.  Adaptation is not a threat, but the key to how entities survive and thrive.

Once again -- I do not have the information which you do or the ability to directly do anything with the coin branding or positioning, so I can only post in this forum and respect your responses.  

I know that you guys have thought about this and have created a platform which I think has significant potential.  My comments are intended to help build that and I intend for my comments to be seen in that way.

Thank you.



At first glance - this might seem as a fair argument, if this aims to look towards the US market. On the other hand deep and philosophical questions need to be asked.

In Europe, Asia Africa - where most population live (and where crypto adoption is moving faster then the west - look at btc addresses in Nigeria  - kingdoms (at some parts working on closely with parliaments) are one of the most stable systems, and they need to be looked at closely and re-thought. So where will future lead the developed world? Do we know? No. but this question needs to be analyzed. I think european members of the community understand this point well.

On another note - bitcoin, ether etc etc are too serious, normal people do not understand them....Crowncoin has a story that people can identify with...the story of the Crown. In several worldwide countries people still pay with the Crown! Knights and Thrones have a meaning too - a gaming element needs to be present (dogecoin example) - people are just tired of bankers! Also game of thrones, starwars etc - you have knights everywhere - not necessarily medieval.

We are of course willing to discuss how to make this look more forward thinking, but we have thought about this about three years so think deeply when making suggestions, and lets try to see the future together! Smiley



RE: Stonehedge's comment on the branding -- it could probably use a refresh.

Seems like the point of the (a) crown, (b) thrones & (c) knights is really just a metaphor for the security and stability provided by a strong (a) currency, (b) network and (c) development team.

Nothing really necessarily to do with European history -- but more with a metaphor for stability and strength.  

The future value proposition is probably to be able to use this stable distributed platform to store value and who knows what else (depending on what capabilities one puts in the masternodes/thrones).  

The branding should support whatever "killer apps" the dev team has in mind -- and any truly killer app probably isn't too geographically focused, so it's hard to imagine how the branding might not benefit from a refresh.  It doesn't look like there are that many transactions running over the network...  The timing for any sort of branding refresh should probably be around the introduction of whatever new capabilities have been referred to in previous posts by the dev team.

The branding should also support any other future apps beyond the initial ones envisioned, which the team would like to be able to attract to the platform.

10 bitcoins traded for last two days, and 6 bitcoins still on the buy. A joke market slowly turning into a real market.


Market looking healthy, buyers still not afraid to step in after the rise. People hesitant to sell, even miners who dont give a damn abou this. Good sign I think.

Decentralize Everything
When you leave full democracy to the robots - then 50 mil is stolen in Ether dao hack - wrong
When you leave full democracy to the people - then your country is over - wanna a couple of examples from the western world?

A balance needs to found for a crypto project which will shape our crypto - blockchain future. Discussion with the community will be going on and all opinions will be heard! Please dont make any premature statements.

Read all the pages in our web, maybe it can help you understand Crowncoin better. Thank you for posting here.



Opinions for and against are currently split equally amongst the dev team.

sounds llike no crown to me someone has to be one or else its ball less

a crown is not so democratic sounds like greece look that mess Roll Eyes
no problemo oh great leader

so there is a crown bearer

I'm on the fence about the branding. It is definitely at odds with the general theme of crypto currency but I do think it is nice to have a theme to run with.

Having said that, the theme has been in place since 2014...an eternity in crypto. Who am I to argue with history?

This coin has morphed and transformed over the years it has existed and even the most decentralised projects have a hierarchy of sorts. It is perhaps fitting that the branding reflects this.

Crowncoin Update 04/10/2016

Thrones/Masternodes

The number of Thrones has grown to 103 at the time of writing. At current price Thrones are currently earning $15pm before VPS hosting costs. If you own 10k+ or more coins then please consider setting up a throne. The more Thrones we have, the easier it is going to be for us to launch our service platform.

Crowncoin Mining


The network hash rate has increased from 600TH to 1.5PH since the last update. This is one of the highest network hash rates for any cryptocoin. We are keen to encourage more miners and pools to merge mine Crowncoin in order to further decentralise our mining resources and reduce influence by individual pools and miners. Please help us by contacting Coinwarz and other coin info sites to encourage them to list us on their sites.

Dark Gravity Wave was successfuly implemented in our last update.  A big thank you to Chaositec for making this a success.  Crowncoin's average block time is now a near perfect and consistent 63 seconds which is a huge improvement on our previous range of 10 seconds to 3 minutes!

Exchanges

We want to be listed on Bittrex.  Bittrex are amenable to listing us but want to see more social media activity around Crowncoin before doing so. Please tweet them and message them and show that we have support!

Hard Fork Success


In addition to the successful implementation of DGW, we successful enforced version 90350 and above.  This means that Throne payments are now enforced which will help protect Throne ROI.

Current Focus


We are working on a few known bugs with start-many, stop-many, start-alias and stop-alias.  These will be fixed in the next release.

We are working with two new team members, a graphic designer and a QT specialist, to give our wallet a makeover.

In addition to the makeover we hope to introduce a much improved tool to make it easier to manage Thrones in the next release.

We are actively looking for new team members, particularly people who can pitch in with our upcoming bitcoin core update and people who are familiar with masternode code. Please contact me if you are able to help with these areas

Design and discussion continues on our first two major services.  I'm hoping to be able to share a lot more information with you over the next month as the technical side makes more progress. In the meantime I'll drop the hint that Crowncoin will have a symbiotic relationship with other blockchain projects. I think it is safe to say that we are all extremely excited about what we are doing.  Nobody has done anything like this in crypto so far.

Development Fund

Several core team members continue to donate all of their Throne payments to the dev fund. We are currently discussing whether it would be sensible to apportion a small amount of the block reward to the dev fund. Please let us know if you have any strong opinions on this. Opinions for and against are currently split equally amongst the dev team.
