my understanding is that Crypti was an 18 month development that ran out of funds, and Max and Oliver lost patience and forked to Lisk.
how long will Wings take to launch please?
Crypti has fulfilled all the R&D goals it has committed to, despite operating on a shoestring budget (2%-3% of the Ethereum funding for example), which in turn enabled the Lisk team to launch a very successful ICO and essentially helped kick-starting the line of ICO's/DAO that we see now.
Crypti lessons are valuable and are taken into account. Wings is being developed by for-a-profit company (ChainLab) with an efficient management team led by a small unit of executives, based on external funding with the ability to raise additional rounds, and by placing major emphasis on marketing and PR.
As per Wings launch timelines, we will announce the details via our communication channels including this Bitcointalk thread.
