I am trying to get back in full swing after the holidays and a few issues rose up for my day to day life.
v0.1.9
v0.1.9 is now officially in open testing. You can read the official blog post announcement and notes here: http://blog.crypti.me/test-net-release-v0-1-9/
This version has HUGE improvements in performance over previous versions and is a complete re-write of almost every facet of our client. The differences are noticeable immediately if you have been around and using Crypti for a while. I highly recommend everyone download it and help us test so we can ensure it is the best possible release client.
DPOS
As Max mentioned in his previous post, we have now hired a 3rd developer who will be working on custom block chains soon. Boris and Pavel are making great progress on DPOS and we are well on the way to completing our implementation.
Web Design
Many have been curious as to what is happening with the web design. The truth is that towards the holidays our designer sort of disappeared on us and was less than responsive. After some harassment, we received PSDs for all completed work up to this point and Max is helping complete the web wallet design based off of the already completed work with the designer. As it turns out, she had a baby and was fairly pre-occupied, which is understandable and so we have begun the final design piece on the web wallet internally. We had already completely the logo and website and had strong design elements to use to spruce up the current web wallet design (which we all were already very fond of).
We currently have a front-end developer building the new website and we should be able to launch it very soon. Our goal is to make it public as soon as the code is complete rather than wait. We are really excited about the design and looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
What's Next?
Now that v0.1.9 and the optimizations are essentially complete, we will allow a couple days for testing and then officially launch this release. The next release, 0.2.0 will be our DPOS release and will be another major milestone for Crypti. With the addition of the new developers, we are making huge strides with our client and core code that I think everyone will be really excited about!
As always, I will keep you up to date on any news! Happy New Year everyone!
good job.
