Bitcoin has gone up since I posted this, so I am dropping the ticket price to 0.9 BTC.

Goodbye Krypton


Dear Krypton Community,

Our lead developer, Krypton-Dev, has quit to join another crypto project, one backed by a Chinese firm.

While Krypton-Dev and I disagree on fundamental ideologies (Me: “America First”, He: “I trust China more than the US.”) I understand that they are paying him well and I wish him the best of luck.

Though I was able to modify an existing block explorer to suit Krypton’s needs, my programming skills are too out-of-date to take over as Krypton’s lead developer and proceed with the complete re-write that this project requires.

Additionally, since Krypton was always a volunteer project and has no development funds donated from the community, it is impossible to find a qualified developer who will work for free. I too can no longer afford to support this project as a full-time job.

So, I am quitting also. I am taking an early retirement from crypto entirely, not only at the request of my doctor, but of my family.

Having always been an open-source project, all Krypton code will remain available to the community on my GitHub account: https://github.com/covertress

Of special importance is the block explorer if anyone from the community wants to take over this project. The explorer is not funded and will shut down sometime this month without hosting.

I’m sorry that Krypton seems to be ending this way. I hope that someone will step in with the skill and drive to see the project continue. In my new quest for a stress-free and better quality life, that person is not me.

I wish you all the best.

Goodbye,

covertress

Why, my dear man, that's what the Krypton Block Explorer is for!

Have you tried re-syncing your KR wallet with a fresh chain download from CryptoChainer?

http://cryptochainer.com/dir/?page_id=881

Have you added more nodes to your wallet?

The instruction to do so is "addnode [node ip address] add" from the QT wallet command line.

Here is the list of active nodes:

If you're still having problems with syncing, please visit irc freenode #Kryptoncoin.

addnode 216.170.126.168 add

Do this for the nodes in the following list:

Alternately, download the entire KR chain from Cryptochainer: http://cryptochainer.com/dir/?page_id=881

Due to popular demand, a new public Krypton Slack has been created.

Since Krypton will be forming two separate entities with very different functions, it is best that we separate Krypton, Inc. from The KR Foundation Slack teams.

This newly created KR Slack is for The KR Foundation only.

For now, invitations are being granted to KR holders only.

Please message me with a screenshot of your KR wallet for an invitation.

Happy New Year!

Despite the fact that KR's move from an Ethereum-based Proof-of-Work blockchain to a Proof-of-Stake blockchain is a temporary measure for security reasons, I still have many people writing and asking, "How exactly does this new Proof-of-Stake work?"

To answer that, with more detail than most readers could hope for, I offer this excellent four-part series from Alexander Chepurnoy:

Inside a Proof-of-Stake Cryptocurrency

Part 1: Basic Structures

Part 2: Forging Algorithm

Part 3: A Local Ledger

Part 4: The Executable Forging Simulation

Enjoy the weekend read!  

KR will not be quickly switching blockchains again nor moving to a fork of some other shitcoin (Lisk.)

Krypton will be engaging VCs for capital to rewrite a version of our original fork of ETH. This was Krypton's plan all along and nothing has changed.

###

Regarding Yobit: Please quit writing to me about Yobit. I have no control over what Yobit does. Yobit will not respond to any support tickets, even those where I request that they delist KR.

###

drays, I call it like I see it. If you don't hold the keys to your crypto, you don't own that crypto. Grow up and face the facts, dude. You're doing it wrong.

Sorry For Your Loss

drays, you are nothing but a two bit troll.

I wish that I had the burned KR back just so that I could have the extreme pleasure of burning your coins once again, you ignorant child.

The Krypton Block Explorer is being updated to reflect the total available KR supply, now that the burn has been completed.

Once this is done and the API reflects the correct total, CoinMarketCap and other ratings agencies will be contacted.

This Twitter contest ended on 31-October... hence the name, "Halloween Giveaway."

The winners were:

100 KR ea > @Leprachaun888, @Conm8, @BitcoinRTs, @anshartokk, @pi2u89
300 KR winner > @daniel_zepeda83

Congratulations!

REMINDER:

TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY TO EXCHANGE KR

Old, Proof-of-Work, Ethereum-based KR *must be swapped* for the new Proof-of-Stake KR, now trading on Bittrex and NovaExchange.

Yobit has still not replied to my 10+ support tickets, requesting the swap.

I'm sorry to say, that without access to their account key, none of the Yobit KR will be available to swap.

The KR burn will commence tomorrow, 1-November-2016.
