Never underestimate the resourcefulness of a great plumber.
Had it not been for the genius of , champion inventor of the water-waste-preventing cistern syphon, Victorians would have been left to make their trek to that malodorous darker place otherwise known as the Out House, or perhaps the crockery pot stashed under the bed for a while longer.
Born in 1836, Crapper was apprenticed to a master plumber at the tender (today) age of 14 and had hung his shingle in Chelsea by his mid-twenties. Such was Crapper’s renown and stellar reputation, that even the Royals themselves were early adopters. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, is the first known to grace the invention with his regal rear. Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey would be appointed in short order ensuring safe and sanitarily stately relief as the royal “We” traveled from castle to castle.
Of course, it took rude Americans to nick his last name, giving future generations of boisterous boys endless joy at having a humorous potty word to reference the potty. Crapper took great pride in publicly peddling his patented products. Legend has it prim British ladies would faint upon happening upon his Marlborough Road shop, such was the shock at the sight of this and that model of the technological wonder behind huge pane glass windows.

Appian is a completely decentralized app store built on the Ethereum blockchain. Anyone can easily develop and deploy apps on and users can earn APP tokens by leaving constructive feedback. Their ICO started on October 16.
[Note: This is a press release.]
is the Ethereum App Store. People are rightfully excited to join this latest craze. The Appian ICO has launched recently, and Appian is already being talked about on major news sites. Many investors see potential in a decentralized app store built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It’s a potential competitor to the centralized solutions that exist today, like Apple’s app store or Google Play. It’s the world’s first Ethereum App Store.
Imagine all the apps in the world, bundled into one platform. Welcome to Appian. Fully featured with user reviews, ratings, and development tools: Appian is changing the way we build apps. Appian services and products are exchanged with a token called APP. These are limited tokens which are exclusively used on the platform. APP tokens can also be traded back to other cryptocurrencies, like Ether after the ICO. These are limited in supply. No more APP tokens are created after the crowdsale.
Only for this week, Appian token investors will receive 44% bonus tokens in exchange for their ETH contributions. It’s expected that APP tokens will be live and tradeable on many exchanges following the crowdsale. The 44% bonus for investors will not be applicable in just a few days.
As Ethereum apps become more popular, demand for APP tokens will grow accordingly. Appian’s token value is expected to grow with apps built for Ethereum. With tons of new applications being released daily for Ethereum, Appian has major potential in this growing market.
In order to participate and get some APP tokens, check their website here: .
