Do you have to do anything for the fork as a masternode owner?

Crown Weekly Update February 21st, 2018

Fork Report

The fork report will be available early next week. It outlines in detail the reasons for the fork as well as everything that we can do to mitigate it from happening again. We look forward to sharing it with you all.

Release Date Set!

The date for our next release has been set! We chose to move the date to March 12th so that it can continue to be rigourously tested and to give time for our team to get situated back home after our meetup in Miami. This release will overhaul the wallet update and node creation process as well as various bug fixes to the governance system.

Stke.io Listing

If you don’t have enough CRW to buy a Systemnode or Masternode, you can now buy shares of a node through Stke.io! The Crown community can now start Crown Hosted Masternodes or purchase shares in Crown Community Masternodes directly or through the Stke.io Marketplace. This is a great opportunity to get more people involved in the community while securing the network.

New Crown Website

Our new website is looking great. At this point it is only a few weeks away and should play a huge role in taking us to the next level. It is a more streamlined and professional looking site that better communicates our values, who we are and what we are building. We look forward to sharing it with you all.

New Proposals

There are some great new proposals this month. These include a research paper, various conferences, sponsorships and events. Read through them and vote for the best ones before the superblock next week on February 28th.

Last week to enter our Systemnode Contest

It is the final week to get entries in for the contest. There is 500 CRW and 1 year of free hosting courtesy of Node-VPS.com up for grabs. Enter as many times as you can here!

Miami Community Meet-up

We have a major announcement to share at the community meetup March 3rd for everyone that attends. It is not exchange related (we will have news to share on that front soon), but it should play a major role in helping us reach our goals as a community. We will of course post about it after the announcement.

Thanks for reading and don’t forget to tune in next week!

CRW already has fast transaction times and low fees with instant TX through #masternodes, but later this year we will unveil a new consensus mechanism that will take us to a new level.

I think it is a wonderful idea. People like to be spoonfed with information. Thank you for taking initiative of creating this video, the whole community would benefit from it.

Update on the Crown Branding campaign

Why Facebook marketing: Video 2000
The goal of this campaign is to spread the word about Crown. Crown has a great product, with many applications and very promising tech. Just like "Video 2000". Video 2000? Yeah, the technical superior solution to the good old VHS videos.
For Crown it is important not to become Video 2000 - and thus let as many people as possible know we exist! A great product without users has no value, thus find the users!.

Crown Identity
The second piece of the puzzle in attracting more people to Crown is to have a clear message of just why Crown exists, what it is, and how it works. My team (a marketing & communication specialist and a ) and I have been working on formulating this difficult to fully catch identity story of Crown. This is what we came up with:
(Please feel free to add suggestions / comments!)

A good Crown animation video
However, most people will not take the time to read this - hence an animated video that tells this, with a compelling story that showcases the use of Crown would be ideal to spread this message. We have contacted a bureau (www.fxmedia.nl) that does commercials for Heineken, Deloitte, PostNL and other big companies. They charge between 8k (if you have the script and story ready) and 12k (if you don't have a script and story) euros for a video of professional quality. About 1500CRW is available from the previous content creation proposal to fund this, in total around 4000 CRW to 4500 CRW is needed.
Which means 2500CRW to 3000CRW is still required for the funding of this video.
If you think this is a good idea, and want to support it, please consider to donate some Crown for this professional animation, contact me or send it here: 1BHvjJJVp7JMRioiMNYUckFe3ErvXRGCs9 - thank you!
Depending on how things go, we might write a proposal for it (although the current superblock is quite packed already).

Example videos - style wise would be:

Ads
So reaching people where they hang out is important. The internet is a good place, easy to reach - you just have to throw money at it, and it will find the people that could be interested for you. The Crown Marketing proposal by snoops creates a lot of content, however, not a lot of people see it. On average for the non-paid posts the view count is around 500 views (see figures below).
Which is why with the branding campaign, we create and select posts and pay Facebook to show them to people (see the difference here between posts, the posts with more than 1k views are all paid):

Currently this ad which we created is running, informing people about the upcoming release:

Before that, the systemnode giveaway post we created to amplify the result of the 500CRW giveaway:

We have also created a facebook event for the Miami community meeting, to inform our USA community members that it will take place:

Another small ad created to thank our community for their efforts of Crown getting it's crownfunding funded in just 24hours!

Looking forward: if we get funded another round, we will continue to boost Crowns presence on Facebook. With the upcoming miami meeting, the australian conference, (possible) dubai conference, updates and much more.  And next to that continue working on the animation video and get it made.
So please cast your vote and continue support Thank you!

The first Crown community meeting in the United States is closing by, looking forward to it!
