>>> Criptoreal’s Third Monthly UpdateHello all, according to our
Official Listing on Masternodes Online,
today is Criptoreal’s three month anniversary.
As we’ve done since the beginning (
here and
here), this post is the Criptoreal’s monthly update!
This is what we’ve accomplished in the last 30 days:>>> Official Android Wallet and Web Wallet
As you may already know, CRS is one of the very few masternode cryptocurrencies to have ported Copay,
the most secure Bitcoin light wallet, to its core.
Since CRS' main goal is to help retailers and consumers deal with crypto in Brazil and LATAM,
we couldn’t take ages to release a mobile wallet, so we’re very happy to tell you that the
Official Android wallet,
called Cripag, is already available in
Google Play for all to download:
Because of the fragmentation of the Android user base and some security features inherent to Android OS updates,
we had to limit compatibility to Android 6.0 (codename Marshmallow) and up, for users with previous Android versions
we have released
the web version of Cripag here, this enables everyone to use CRS on the go.
>>> CRS Paper WalletInaccurate are those who think that Paper Wallets are exclusive for storing highly valuable cryptos,
even though CRS is a small cap, brand new cryptocurrency, masternode owners appreciate having a
physical backup for their payee address and private key.
You can use it here
https://paper.criptoreal.org/ or click the image below.
Also, our Paper Wallet will be used in the future for distributing CRS on events, a kind of offline airdropping, if you will.
I remember a certain event here in Brazil, years ago, where participants were given a BTC paper wallet with
only 1 BTC on it, lots of them threw them away because BTC was very cheap at that time, I bet they are regretting that now
>>> Shared Masternode Automatic Platform - SMAP
First, we’d like to credit whoever created the "SMAP" name on our Discord, although I’m sure it was created
out of laziness save time, we loved it and will use it from now on.
Since the launching of CRS, we had one main concern, to protect our community.
People who trust our project are the most important people in the world for us and we didn’t want to risk their money
on third party shared masternode services, so we started our own shared masternode service for CRS.
What we never imagined was the success this would be, today we manage more than 30 masternodes for our community,
in fact, some people prefer to have their Masternodes managed by us instead of going through the process of renting a VPS and taking care of it.
The problem is that this is
A LOT of work; for you to have an idea, currently there are about 180 share owners with over 300 shares overall…
This is impossible to manage with a
simple google form.
The solution we found is to automate it, so since the beginning of April, one of our developers has been working
on a platform that will enable everyone to become a share owner automatically, with shares as low as 100 CRS, some screenshots have been posted on our Discord.
Although SMAP won’t be publicly available for new share owners before the beginning of next cycle (May 5th),
payments are already being done using it (we even tested making extra payments to Share Owners, which was another kind of airdrop).
All shares will be migrated by the team once the platform is ready to go live, hopefully before May 16th.
If you are interested to become a share owner, you have 3 days to participate, ask here or on our discord to get more information.
>>> Easy Masternode SetupMasternodes are one of the best addition to cryptocurrencies since they were invented, the enable instant and private transactions,
fast connection among nodes and speed of blockchain distribution.
Their service is invaluable to a currency as CRS that aims to be usable everyday and not Just Another Masternode (JAM) coin.
Side note:
The term JAM was coined by Allen Hena on the Stake and Nodes website,
which provides invaluable masternode information for the newbie and professional alike,
his Education articles are a must read, click here, if you want to learn everything about MNs.The
problem is that Masternodes are still new and some people are scared to setup their own because it gets a little bit technical on a Linux VPS,
to solve this we have created an automatic script that
sets up a CRS Masternode in under 30 second without Linux knowledge.
Feedback from the community has been great and crypto beginners from Hong Kong, Russia and the US have been able to get their CRS MNs
up and running by simply pasting this code to their VPSs:
wget -qO mn crs.one/mn.sh && sudo bash mn
We announced our sponsorship of Bitconf on our very first monthly update
here, and it’s finally happening,
Bitconf will take place on the WTC Sheraton Convention Center in São Paulo on May 5 - 6
and they are expecting over one thousand people to visit the conference, for more information visit the
official website here.
>>> Presenting CRS Masternodes and Decentralized Governance to the WorldIf the benefits of masternodes and decentralized governance are still hard to understand on the developed world,
they are even more difficult to understand here in Brazil, where almost no information about them is available.
To help Bitconf attendants understand those benefits, we asked Rodrigo Digital to be our spokesperson on the event,
our 60 minute prime time presentation will be about such benefits and how they will help the Brazilian society on a regional Crypto as CRS.
In case you don’t know Rodrigo, he’s a Brazilian crypto connoisseur and his youtube channel has been funded by
Dash Governance for over a year, he was also recently asked to become the official youtube interviewer for bitcoin.com.
We are honored and humbled that he accepted our invitation to represent us on this conference, check his
youtube channel here.
>>> CREX24 - New Exchange - BTC/CRS PairAs most of you already know, we asked to be delisted from SouthXchange on the beginning of April,
the reasons behind our request are publicly available on our Discord announcement channel and on our previous monthly updates.
Since then, we’ve been listed on Crex24 which is another small cap exchange, but we are very happy with their service.
Their support reps are on our Discord,
withdrawals and deposits are very fast and
they have great charts for the technically inclined trader out there.
To buy
CRS with BTC, check it out here
>>> FXCBIT - New Exchange - BRL/CRS PairThis is another very important roadmap item that has been advanced,
what use would CRS have on retail if there is no fiat pair? NONE.
Imagine having to buy BTC to then get CRS in order to pay something with it, sorry, that is not a real world solution.
By listing on the respectable Brazilian exchange FXCBIT, Brazilians can now buy CRS with BRL Fiat,
I repeat this is real BRL fiat, not a token like USDT.
Check
FXCBIT here or click the image below.
The importance of having a fiat pair, can not be understated for CRS, as this it's the pillar of our retail solutions,
where regular people will be able to accept CRS on their businesses without worrying about the volatility of decentralized crypto currencies.
>>> Almost 20,000 USD (Twenty Thousand US Dollars) Bounty Campaign (500k CRS)Please, read this subtitle again, no it's not a joke, we are giving away half a million CRS on bounties.
Our Bounty Campaign managed by Legendary Seccour has been a huge success and it almost over, but there is still time for you to get a piece of the pie.
Check the official
Bounty thread here, there are spots for Signatures, Youtube videos, Translations, Articles and much more.
For you to have an idea of how high the stakes are, at least one participant will get one full Masternode for his work on this,
that's over
3 thousand US dollars or about 0.3 BTC.
The campaign ends on May 12th so hurry and start participating today!>>> CORE Team GrowthYou know what they say:
"Launching a crypto is easy, the hard part comes after it’s launched".
You have no idea how much work it is until after you launched it,
that is why projects get abandoned and the community loses faith on them,
specially if the developers are after a quick buck.
As proven over and over again that is definitely not our case,
we just keep hiring people to help us, isn’t that what development funds are for?
Over the last 90 days, since CRS was launched we hired a journalist, a social media manager,
a new designer and two more developers.
Today, is the first day of our first
official Community Manager, you may already know him on Discord as
Jim Pudim.
Jim will be responsible for our communication with the Brazilian and International community on our social media groups,
he will also coordinate other mods and tech support volunteers giving us more time to focus on even more development to get CRS where it belongs.
Side note: Yeah, we know, his nickname could use some improvement, but check out this hair!For support or hair related questions, follow him on
Twitter here or contact him directly on Discord:
jimpudim#6625And for April, that’s all folks Here’s a quick overview of what we’ll be doing in the next 30 days:
>>> New WebsiteWe’re launching a new website, with blog and e-commerce store, we have no idea what to sell there,
but it will be the first test of our e-commerce plugin that accepts only CRS as payment without a third party gateway.
>>> Partnerships
As we mentioned a few weeks back on discord and this thread, we have secured a partnership with a UK
based betting platform that wants to accept CRS as payments for Brazilian players.
They are a competitor of BET365 and SportingBet, willing to spend millions in advertising, so it’s going to be huge for CRS,
and we are working really hard to finish the implementation of CRS into their payment methods.
>>> Local Media Exposure.
We have recently secured a media contract with one of the biggest crypto portals in brazil,
called Criptomoedas Fácil and our Media will start to display there next week.
>>> Run For CRS - Android GameWho doesn’t love a good game?
What about a game that pays you real money?
This is our next gift to the CRS community, The Run For CRS (Run4CRS) game will be available
on the Google Play Store later this month and players will be able to earn CRS.
Take a look at the screenshot from my personal phone:
We believe that this will spread the word about CRS and will several thousands members to our community.
The only problem we can see about it so far is how to get the core team to stop playing with their phone and get back to work.
Further Core DevelopmentEven though Mac and iOS are not our main target demographic’s OSes,
this month we’ll be working on developing the Mac core wallet and porting the iOS mobile app.
Also we expect to release light wallets for Windows and other Operating systems to be released this month.
That’s about it, please
join our Discord to keep updated more often.
Once again, thank you SO much for trusting our Project, we are humbled to have you all among us.
>> TL;DR
Dev out.
