Just began researching Crown.  Longtime masternode operator, but my level of involvement in other projects has kept me head-down for a long time.  So, I have a few questions.

  • What sets Crown's NFT platform apart from any other platforms offering ERC-721 alternatives?
Please see https://medium.com/crownplatform/crown-platform-nft-framework-18d88f9db76

  • To what degree is the NFT platform scalable?  If it is highly scalable, how?  I like it when projects pursue scalability in a proactive manner.
We expect NFT framework to be highly scalable since each token operation is recorded as a transaction and there is currently lots of free space in each block.

  • Does Crown produce superblocks?  If so, how often, and how much is generated?
Yes, every 43200 blocks (approximately 30 days). Each superblock produces a governance fund of upto 54000 CRW.[/quote]

  • Are governance proposals & voting records retained historically?  If so, where can I view this?  Would especially review proposals where Core design decisions were made via governance & carried-out.
Governance is not (yet) recorded on-chain. Some individuals may have retained records of past proposals, you could ask in Discord

  • MM-PoS...  does this imply masternodes are block producers?  Anything you'd like to tell me about this structure?
Yes, masternodes and systemnodes are block producers. Please take a look at https://medium.com/crownplatform/crown-masternode-and-sytemnode-proof-of-stake-consensus-system-mnpos-e6780ef534b3 for some technical details.

  • Was any other means of consensus used prior to MN-PoS?  If so, what was it, and why did it end (honestly)?  Not particularly a fan of PoS nor its variations, but I have an open mind.
Crown was originally a Bitcoin SHA-256 derivative, then merge-mined with Bitcoin. In April 2019 we switched to unique, specially commissioned MN-PoS (actually both masternodes and systemnodes stake) for block creation.
