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!
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.
