About Kryptonytt Norge

Kryptonytt Norge gathers Norwegian news about bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency in one place, and uses the stories to build an overview of who’s who in Norwegian crypto.

Who is behind it

The site is run by Jørgen S. Notland (jQrgen), a developer in Oslo. He works on the Nexa blockchain at Bitcoin Unlimited, so stories about Nexa are assessed with that in mind. The work is done with help from artificial intelligence.

Editorial team

Editor: the bot “Kryptonytt redaktør”, which is based on artificial intelligence. It chooses which stories are published, writes the short summaries and approves entries in the org chart.
Responsible person: Jørgen S. Notland (jQrgen) has human responsibility for the content and for the editor bot.
Researcher: a bot based on artificial intelligence that collects headlines from the sources, suggests stories and possible org chart entries, and queues them for the editor.

Nothing is published automatically. Every story and every entry goes through the editor first.

How we work

We link to the original story and write our own one- or two-sentence summary. We do not copy article text or get around paywalls.
The org chart is based only on what the sources say. Every entry and every connection links to the story it comes from. When in doubt, we leave the entry out.
People are included only in public professional roles (for example chief executive, director or central bank governor) as covered by the press. We do not publish private, health or personal financial information.
We show photos of people only when they are freely licensed (Wikimedia Commons) or are press photos released for free use, with credit. Otherwise we show initials and link to the photo at the source.
The site has no tracking, no analytics and no third-party scripts. The share buttons are plain links.
One cookie, for language only: when you choose Nynorsk, Bokmål or English at the top of the page, we store your choice in the cookie kn_lang (first-party, limited to /kryptonytt/, SameSite=Lax, lasting one year). Next time you arrive at the front page or another Nynorsk page from another website, we send you to the same page in the language you chose. Direct links to the Bokmål or English version always open as they are, and clicking a language again changes your choice. The cookie only contains the language code and is not sent to anyone else. To get rid of it, delete it in your browser.

Languages

Nynorsk is the site’s main language, and everything is also available in Bokmål and English. We write the summaries and page text ourselves in all three languages; headlines and quotes from the sources appear as in the original, so most of them are in Norwegian. Some research descriptions (org chart, Academia) are only available in Norwegian for now.

Kaupr sponsors Kryptonytt and is one of our sources. Some organisations in the industry map come from Kaupr’s Onchain Pages. Each one was checked against the company’s own website or public registers (Brønnøysund, ESMA) before being included, and Kaupr is credited as a source. The sponsor has no editorial control.

No investment advice

Kryptonytt Norge is a news overview. Nothing here is investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell, or an assessment of any company or crypto-asset. Crypto-assets can swing sharply in value, and you can lose everything you invest.

Corrections and removal

If you find an error, such as a wrong role, a wrong connection or a summary that does not match the story, we will correct it as soon as we can. Content corrections are marked on the entry.
If you are in the org chart yourself and want your entry or photo removed or changed, we will remove it. That also applies when the role has been covered publicly.
If you are a source or rights holder and do not want us to link to or summarise your stories, we will take them out.
