All due respect to the development team. The website looks great and I am looking forward to the wallet and core updates. That being said... the white papers while well intentioned are completely overwrought.
The preamble and pseudo-philosophy does not add anything. The lack of clear objectives and lack of technical specifications for what is being proposed is concerning. Moreover, having to sift through all the superfluous text to understand what exactly is being proposed is a detriment. I should be able to look at the title of the white paper or the first sentence and understand what is being proposed, instead I have read them all and feel like almost nothing has been clarified, only confused.
The problems crown has proposed to solve, block size and POS/POW alternative are what might bring value to this project. I understand setting the foundations of the project, but this can be accomplished without the quotes and in plain language that is easily digestible. Too much esoteric nonsense.
Anyways. Hopefully more information about these solutions will be available sooner rather than later.
I appreciate the effort of the Crown Team.
With the criticisms you've made we have decided to move away from whitepaper branding, instead they'll be called 'Crown Papers' from now on.
The Crown Papers are more of a compass rather than a specific destination. We know which way we need to go but are unsure about the obstacles we may need to jump over to reach our destination. As we release new features to the network, also will follow technical spec to explain the addition. So maybe slapping white paper in my updates wasn't the best plan.
As a team we have lots to think about right now, like release of wallets, contacting everyone to update, testing...
Once all this is out of the way, we can start to really nail down the 'whitepaper issue'.
good thinking here is prevailing now ..so best of luck for further progress.
