Thanks for the update, but just a friendly suggestion, in the future if there is a delay please let us know about it and the details of it, so as not to keep everyone waiting thinking the release is still on track.

Appreciate the suggestion, we actually do our best to communicate the release plans in advance.

Please note that Thursday was only mentioned in relation of Windows Crypti modules delivery to us (rather than the 0.1.6 release), which are still being reviewed and tested.

Ah okay, thanks for clearing that up. Keep up the great work!

@Devs

Any update, we were told 0.1.6 was coming out on Thursday...

The 0.1.6 release was delayed following several issues that we found and fixed during the testing phase, being re-tested now for release.

Windows Crypti node in testing as well, will be released after the 0.1.6.

Thanks for the update, but just a friendly suggestion, in the future if there is a delay please let us know about it and the details of it, so as not to keep everyone waiting thinking the release is still on track.

Hey everyone

I've been out of the loop for a while here. Can you guys fill me in on what's been happening recently with regards to development? From what I gather over the last few posts, community devs have step forward to help with develpment, am I correct?
345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Crypti - XCR - Ͼ - 3 PoS algorithms - Ed25519 - Next Gen New Source - Launched! on: September 03, 2014, 05:30:21 PM

I couldn't agree more, but every second person is promoting that worthless network all over Bitcointalk.

I think the best thing the devs can do is simply be silent about Supernet, or at most, say it's under consideration for the future.

Those who think shortterm may still get a minor price bump. Those who think longterm won't be stuck with it, if they don't want it.

The smart thing is to simply wait and see how it works out. One thing promoters probably overlook is, what if supernet is a failure? You don't want some multicoin network dragging down the price of crypti. It's not automatically a price booster... it can go the other way too.

What baffles me is that, the people who want Crypti to be added to SuperNet don't realise that Crypti doesn't need it at all. The whole SuperNet functionality can be replicated by Crypti's custom block chain support when it rolls out.

Why do we need to be part of another coin's network when our own network already supports it and is more robust/powerful? How about instead of trying Crypti to get added to SuperNet, promote other coins to use Crypti's custom block chain support?

You guys realise that custom block chains support leads to literally endless possibilities.

Personally I haven't bought or sold nearly as much as I do with other currencies.
I do believe Crypti will reach much higher than what you say, and also plan to hold 6+ months for that.
(or longer, I hope Crypti will be tied to USD so it functions without the BTC pair, completely indepentend).
That I will do without trading since I believe in Crypti & devteam & community and want to be a part of something greater than just speculation

That being said talking and analyzing price movements etcetera is a hobby of mine and speculation is too.
And right now there isn't too much to talk about or get involved in until marketing/promotions etc start when custom chains are dished out end of the month.
So please, hold it with you greed comments. There are better stuff to be greedy about if you want short term. Like a coin on t-rex that dies next day.
Crypti isn't one of them, it's most potential is longterm. But people should be able to talk about price  Wink

I like to talk about price as much as the next guy. Seems short term jumps are becoming the only subject lately. "Crypti should join the Super Nintendo Network because we will artificially jump in price to 3k sats." Okay, so then what? It'll go back down to 1800 right after because it wasn't a rise in
value but just a speculation spike. Who does that benefit? Traders and quick profit takers only. Every investment is going to have these people and I guess every investment needs them. I guess its going to take time for people to realize Crypti is not Frankenberry coin and lose interest.

I couldn't agree more, but every second person is promoting that worthless network all over Bitcointalk.

will the real NEM be distributed within this month?

Or not?

Yes during beta which will be released this month, real coins will be distributed.

Is everything on track for the BETA release? Also will all features be enabled for the BETA release?

somebody dumps crypti Angry. any news about windows wallet? and what about code audit?

Part of code already sent to audit team.

0.1.6t working in testnet (http://testing.crypti.me)

C developer of windows wallet promised on Thursday morning (Moscow GMT +4).

Does this mean the windows wallet will be ready on Thursday or that the C developer will start working on the wallet then?

Work already started, wallet will be ready on Thursday i think.

So is this the new developer that's been added to the team?. Also how's the designers coming along?

No, it's another dev, we hire him only for few days to rewrite one lib and run build on windows.
We have one candidate to join in our team, maybe tomorrow will be result.

Yesterday we contacted some designers who worked for known bitcoin projects, i wait for price list.

What about MetaLab? Have you guys made a decision about them yet? They would easily be the best designers to hire.

Why does everyone want to be added to SuperNet? I posted earlier about this below :

Quote
Basically all jl777 wants to do is get features from other coins, which BTCD, doesn't have and use them to BTCD's advantage. I don't see the point in helping out another coin establish it's own network, with the use of our features, when it only benefits them. Why should Crypti really "ask" to be put into a network that doesn't benefit us in any way.

With that being said, I'm wholly for the idea of a Storj & Crypti partnership as GreXX mentioned a few pages back. Why? Becuase Storj will be utilizing our network and providing a service for Crypti users. They could create an App with Crypti's custom blockchain to enable use of MetaDisk and DriveShare on the Crypti network. This is a mutually beneficial partnership. Supernet on the other hand wants all coins to bend over and provide features for the hub of the network which is BTCD.

Crypti with custom blockchains support, can be it's own Supernet, which is why I don't see the point of becoming part of an inferior network.
Agree SuperNET is good for "small" coins, but I think Crypti is too big for this project.

Small coins as NXT, BTCD, BBR?

Do you really think NXT is going to join SuperNet? BTCD is vaporware at this point and is being pumped & BBR is just a CryptoNote coin with a GUI. If you take out the assumption that it will increase Crypti's price (which it won't in the long-term) how exactly will it help Crypti in any other way?

Everything done by SuperNet can be done by Crypti with custom blockchains, why is there a need to join an inferior network, when everything can be replicated when Crypti rolls out with custom blockchains?  

Now ask yourselves this, do you think Etheruem, MaidSafe, NXT and BitShares (these will be Crypti's competitors) want to become part of SuperNet? No because their own networks are already far superior. Why don't you guys realize that when Crypti supports custom blockchains, Crypti immediately moves onto a whole new level, competing with the likes of the coins I mentioned above?
351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Crypti - XCR - Ͼ - 3 PoS algorithms - Ed25519 - Next Gen New Source - Launched! on: September 02, 2014, 05:07:04 PM
As of today, XCR would benefit from being in SuperNet..... so since we need them more than they need us, we are not in a good negotiating position.  

When XCR's features are fully implemented, we will be in a much better negotiating position, and they will need us more than we need them.  

If I understand SuperNet correctly they don't have different demands for different coins. The only demand is that they want to buy 10% of the coin supply at the current price (this is why negotiations have to be a secret, to prevent price jump).

So there are no real details to be negotiated that would be different for a coin in it's infancy and an established one.



Two simple questions for all you SuperNet supporters:

1) What can SuperNet do for XCR that XCR cannot do for itself?  

2) What is SuperNet EXACTLY??




I agree with Litoshi here, I've stated it before, Crypti doesn't, nor it ever will need SuperNet if we have custom blockchain support.

Some of the "negotiation process" of SuperNet is laughable :

"The only demand is that they want to buy 10% of the coin supply at the current price (this is why negotiations have to be a secret, to prevent price jump).
" All of this for what? To be part of an inferior network?

Pitty that the dev's couldn't even help here!

Such "help" is NOT appreciated in crypto...  the devs did the right thing!   Wink

...0.1.6 is just around the corner...

Precisely, and therefore you heard my opinion on the subject.

Your coin will stagnate until you don't comply with the very fundamental principle of crypto currencies and keep hiding your source code from the community. That's what happens to greedy developers, and when greed and short-sighted business considerations take precedence over acting with moral.

I fully understand in Russia the greed is the main driving force in society, personal relation and anything really. Such greed is manifested in this case in the form of an crypto currency and  take from the open source community (Nodejs, Bitcoin, etc.) and don't give back anything.

The low moral Putin boys have to understand that open source software is not a one way traffic, it requires not only take but give back to the community.



Explain me this, how does Crypti being open-source affect you in any way? Secondly you say that the Crypti devs are greedy and they are trying to make money off their project. That is perfectly fine if they make money off their own creation, but according to you that's immoral.

But I guess you're okay with the fact that as soon as the source code is released and numerous clones start popping up, all of their so called "developers" will be making tons of cash of the Crypti devs' creation, yet they themselves have only changed the title of their clone and have contributed in no way at all to the source code. Where is the logic in that?

We should write to jl777 to join to the SuperNETWORK:

Quote
If you want to apply for you coin, write a PM to me with the following:
1. What makes your coin useful to the SuperNET. If your coin is just a clone of another coin with just some variables changed, there is no need to apply for inclusion into the CORE. It is just wasting of time. So, this means LTC cant get included in the CORE, however it can be in the spiral arms utilizing the power of the CORE.

2. Basic coin stats, believe it or not I have not memorized every coins current and future supply, emission curve, etc.

3. anything else you think will help me to understand your coin, the type of community, future goals, etc.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=762346.100

I totally agree, Supernet will be huge! But to join supernet the coin needs to have a unique feature not other coin have,  does this coin have a unique feature that not other coin have? I hope crypti join supernet

I do not agree at all. Basically all jl777 wants to do is get features from other coins, which BTCD, doesn't have and use them to BTCD's advantage. I don't see the point in helping out another coin establish it's own network, with the use of our features, when it only benefits them.

Another item I would like to see on the list of things to implement, although not directly to XCR the coin, is an email distribution list for wallet/forge updates, Major announcements, etc.

informer

We have a mailchimp account and will have a signup membership to be Foundation members as well as one to be notified of updates. This will all be part of the site re-design.

When can we expect the re-design by? Also GreXX any update on the expanded info for the roadmap?

I should have the expanded info up tonight or tomorrow.

As far as the re-design, we are having trouble finding the right designer and are still interviewing candidates. We will let you all know when someone is hired and we begin work.

If you really want to hire the best designers out there, post a Job Listing on Dribbble : https://dribbble.com/jobs. Companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc have all sourced designers from Dribbble. There is no single place where you can find better talented designers than on Dribbble.

You can even hire multiple designers and organize them to work in teams, much like what Dropbox is doing : https://dribbble.com/dropbox. I guarantee you, that you will find the best designers on Dribbble, there is no other place like it.

Secondly, why hire only one designer? Given the amount of funding, I would recommend hiring two designers, with one specializing in UI/UX and the other in Web Design. That way you can delegate design tasks between them, the UX designer could design the mock-ups and hand it over to the other to code it. Secondly with separate designers for each design field you could have one working on the wallet UI and the other on the new site.

You could also hire entire teams to do your initial design work. The team will have it's own internal developers, web designers, UI Designers, Motion Authors etc. For example here is one of the leading design teams : https://dribbble.com/Creativedash

The last thing I recommend is providing Design Guidelines for new designers coming into the team. Once Crypti has been re-branded and everything has settled down it is critical that your current designers create a "Guidelines" so that new designers that come into the team can maintain the same design style that was previously used. For example here's a typical design guideline presentation from another company : http://www.julienrenvoye.fr/corefx/

With just a 5 minute look at a few profiles it's obvious that there are some really talented people on Dribble. Do you know what average pricing is for these guys? What kind of salaries do they typically look for (U.S. based designers)?

I know, you guys have raised some funds.. But US based designers are quite expensive, minimum $25 an hour and up to $75. I'd suggest other countries and can get some great work done. I've spent tens of thousands on freelance work. So have some experience in that field.. I'd post a couple projects on freelance sites and evaluate the candidates. I do have some contacts that might work out well for the jobs, if you're interested. There more affordable and do quality work at the same time.
Regards,


Never EVER go with freelancers, although they may get the work done quickly and cheaply, the quality of their work is never good. Rather spend that extra bit of money on a quality design team or designer instead of taking half measures.

The Crypti devs want Crypti to compete with Stripe, PayPal etc head on and if Crypti's website or wallet doesn't look good, then it's dead before it's even started. Do you think the average Joe is going to spend time reading Crypti's whitepaper? No, the average Joe pays more attention to how something looks rather than how it functions behind the scenes. That is why Crypti's design is one of its most important aspects.

It's a good point and all of the candidates we have interviewed so far were overseas and not U.S. based. That being said, it might be interesting to get a quote from the team that made Flow and Slack UI designs. Would be pretty exciting to see what they could do with a crypto wallet and mobile app!
