Crown Core Team Announcement 28th August 2017

Delayed Launch for Crown Atomic

We have delayed the launch of Crown Atomic. With three days to go before our original launch date of 1st September, we reviewed our current position and we have decided that we aren't currently happy enough with the code to release it and feel that we have an opportunity to improve the quality and depth of what the API will offer before releasing it to the wild.

We won't be putting an exact date on the revised launch but we expect that it will be no later than 1st October 2017.

New Team Member

We are delighted to announce that Artem Brahzhnikov (@artem), a mathematician, cryptographer and talented C++ developer has joined the Crown development team. Artem brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience to the team and has quickly taken to the Crown code. Artem's clarity of mind and experience with transactional systems will be a huge boost to our development path in the coming months.

The Crown Atomic delay is partly driven by us wanting to have an opportunity for Artem to use his fresh eyes to quality control what we have so far, before asking the community to help us test.

It is the first time that the Crown team has missed a significant deadline and not a decision that we have taken lightly. We are confident that it is the correct decision and that the delay will benefit the project.

Don't they have them at Pivx yet?  What have they been doing?!  Crown is a Bitcoin fork with some Dash features, I thought Pivx was a Dash fork.

Superblocks are part of the decentralised autonomous organisation features coded by Evan Duffield, originally for Dash.

Essentially, anybody can submit a proposal for development funds to the network and if it receives enough votes from masternode operators, the proposal is approved.  Roughly once a month, a superblock is generated which mints coins and pays the development funds to the person who made the proposal.  Its a form of decentralised development funding which ensures that the community is always incentivised to devise new features and services.

You can see information about Crown proposals and superblocks here:  http://crown.today

At current prices, the network distributes over $60,000USD to the community to make cool stuff every month.

The next scheduled mandatory release probably won't be until November.

There is no mailing list yet but I have been meaning to set one up for masternode operators for some time.  I will do that next week.

Crown to 2-3$+?(maybe 5$?)

I would second that! That was a great event over the weekend and I was really impressed by meeting the CRW team. You guys are doing a great job, keep it up!!

The Toronto meeting was amazing, great to have met you all!

Looking forward to the Atomic release

Crown Team Meeting - Toronto - 18th August 2017

12 members of the core team met in the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto, flying just under 100,000km to be there.  The formal meeting was held between 0900 and 1600 however discussions continued long into the night and for several days.

Crown Atomic

The majority of the Friday session was spent discussing final details and plans for the Crown Atomic release including final confirmation of what would and wouldn't be included in the upcoming release.  The team discussed the API stubs and OP codes at length, with some time being  spent reviewing code by @mdz and @infernoman.

The team discussed and walked through the logic behind the Crown Atomic API and how it would work in reality using soon to be real life examples. Crown Atomic will be available in Testnet on 1st September.

Release Management & Testing

The team discussed and agreed that more formality was required in defining future releases.  It was agreed that a release management and testing procedure is to be created to assist in future releases.

Team Resourcing

Crown is delighted to announce that the core team is being joined by Jerry Ruiz, a hedge fund marketing manager originally from Ecuador but now based in Miami.  Jerry will be promoting Crown from within his circles and also working on use cases for the Latin American market.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-ruiz-b57aa8a1

It was announced at the meeting that a new core team member will be joining in September in order to help with PR, communications and marketing.  The new team member is finishing up his role at a major online tech magazine and is looking forward to helping move the project forwards.

Current team staffing levels were discussed and it was agreed that it would be beneficial to Crown to recruit some new C++ and QT5 developers. A recruitment drive will be announced soon. Recruitment will be aimed at both the crypto world and traditional IT employment markets.  If anybody has skills that they would like to bring to the Crown team, please contact us for an informal discussion.

Legal Structure

The ambition of the Crown project is to become a major decentralized platform to conduct business on. As such, an important hurdle to be taken is the legal structure to accommodate this.

To our knowledge, no legal framework that supports the legal side of crypto exist yet. So the Crown Team is pioneering in this, and are in the process of constructing a framework to facilitate an operation that can accommodate legal requirements.

The pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together, and look promising. We expect to have a legal framework that supports businesses in the US and EU in the not so distant future.

An announcement related to this will be made shortly.

Whitepapers

The Crown team and their partners are starting to work on four papers which will show concrete use cases of integration of a business through the Crown API and / or the layer which we envision to develop with Omni.

1. Integration of ouibring.com on to Crown, settling a transaction between two parties on the blockchain.

2. An application running on a Tron: NodeVps.com

3. A solution for a sovereign country to use cryptocurrency to manage debt obligations. The case study country will be Ecuador.

4. A startup platform using the blockchain to settle ownership, protect IPR and the overall contractual relationship between an angel investor and a new idea / startup.

Next Meeting

It was agreed that the next Core Team and public sessions will be held in Amsterdam on November 10th and 11th 2017.  It was suggested that the following core team meeting might be held in South America, feedback and suggestions on this choice of location are welcomed.

Core Team Announcement

Problem With Latest Superblock

In order to pay each superblock a verfication step is required to finalise the budget before it is paid.  This step is required for any project that utilises the Dash governance system and Crown is no different.  The budget finalisation procedure did not occur for the latest superblock due to a system fault on a particular node.

The effect of this is that the superblock *appears* to have been paid however the funds were not sent to the proposal addresses.

In order to rectify this, the Core Team are going to undertake the following actions.

1) All passing proposals will be compensated from the Core Team development fund (the dev fund based on donations from before the governance system was activated). No publicly donated tokens will be used, only tokens donated by the Core Team meaning that the developers will be responsible for rectifying this fault out of their own pockets.

2) Despite the fact that all masternode projects including Dash require this manual step to happen to ensure payout of proposal funds, it is clear that a single point of failure is not acceptable.  Once Crown Atomic is released in a few days time, the Core Team will concentrate on a quick and elegant fix to make sure that the budget finalisation process is conducted on the Tron network in future thus preventing this from happening again.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Plenty of people happy to help on mm.crownlab.eu

Good luck!

You can probably get some realtime help on the Crown MatterMost, if you need it.

haha everything is easy when you know how, i will have a look and see if i can work it out, thanks for your help
