Cheers, Karmacoma24.

thanks for the update

thanks for the update,
we need it, and I will test it right now.

Version 0.1.8 Released

We have officially released v.0.1.8. Please read the blog post for details and download links. Also, make sure to download the newest block chain file (link in the blog post as well).

Read Here: http://blog.crypti.me/version-0-1-8-release-notes/

Edit: The windows installer is being completed by SyRenity now that the bugs are fixed and will be released shortly. Sorry for the wait on the Windows installer. I will update the blog post to include this note.

Right, it will be the wallet UI accessed from any node just like now.

By the web wallet, I assume you mean the actual Wallet UI, and not just the web wallet over at http://wallet.crypti.me?

0.1.8 was technically out but a couple bugs popped up post distribution to IRC and main net. I'm waiting for Boris to tell me it is all good.

As far as web design, we are working on the web wallet.

I haven't been here for a few days, any update on 0.1.8? From GreXX's post I gather that it's supposed to be out already. Also any update on the web design @GreXX?

Spot on Litoshi!

This is one of the things I love about Crypti. No more wallet.dat files waiting to get either lost or corrupted.

The other big advantage, is that you can easily distribute your funds across many accounts, therefore reducing the risk of losing all of your funds, should you forget one of your passphrases. Additionally, the secondary passphrase option provides an extra level of security, which I encourage everyone to do.

In my opinion all these features eliminate the need for cold storage and make Crypti the more attractive option

Why is that funny???

Cold storage has a risk of losing your coins if you lose the storage media.  With XCR, your coins are always in the blockchain and can be accessed as long as you know the pass phrase.

Heard about the guy that threw away a notebook hard drive that contained 7500BTC?  He can see them in the BTC blockchain, but until he finds his HD in the garbage dump under 6 feet of trash, he is SOL.

lol 

Nothing just talking and talking again.

Cold storage is not possible with XCR.  It s possible with other coins and the QT wallet coins such as LiteCoin and DOGE.  The QT wallet can only be accessed from a computer having the wallet.dat file. 

The XCR is stored in the blockchain, and is accessed thru the XCR node/wallet.  To open a node/wallet to a certain account, the passphrase must be entered.  The pass phrase can be 100 characters.  A second additional passphrase can be included as part of the node access.  There is a 100 XCR cost for this, which is paid to the 10 forgers that verify the algo of the second phrase, 10XCR to each. 

Any passphrase entered into the web wallet/node, FROM ANY COMPUTER,  will generate a new wallet, OR ACCESS AN EXISTING WALLET if the phrase is correct.  SO it is unwise to use common passwords. 

I bet I have generated about 30 new wallets by mis-entering my pass phrase.  COPY/PASTE is disabled in the wallet presently.  I am not sure about the next versions having COPY/PASTE enabled.

As for "people spying on you" to learn your pass phrase........ if your pass phrase is "Judy has great big DD breasts, and a tight ass" then it could be learned from just a glance at your monitor.  But if it is "83736$%&(JHGFDYou4675865mdnau29%^&()P8272cbfjMNBG54849"  it would require a keylogger to copy.

Read: passphrase=private key
A wallet is just a collection of private keys (1 or more) it can be located on a file or on a paper. anyone who know the private key can control the funds in the address it creates.
If you loose you private keys you are S.O.L (had to google it)

Losing the cold storage feature is vary bad. If anyone spying on you it doesn't matter how much characters you put on your passphrases.
I'm not sure why you keep suggesting making a cold storage is not possible with crypti.
Isn't the address created from a passphrase based on a defined algorithm? can't you check what address will be created for a specific passphrase offline then?

thanks for the update

If you have a QT wallet on a SD card, and lose the card, or if you have the QT wallet on a hard drive and the drive is stolen, lost, or damaged, you lose your QT wallet AND ALL YOUR COINS.  If you cannot recover the wallet.dat file, you are S.O.L.

But with Crypti, the coins are stored in the blockchain and each "wallet" is nothing more than a node to connect to the blockchain.  As long as you have the passphrase, you have access from any computer.  There is no way to "cold storage" XCR coins.

BTW........ any person can access the web wallet, and by entering a passphrase used by another user (such as passw0rd, 123456, or trustno1) they can access your coins.  You need to activate the second passphrase as well as using a 50 character or more passphrase. 

I just don't get the differentiation and "QT wallets actually contain the coins" is a false statement.
QT wallets contain multiple saved private keys which allows you to sign on transactions. Crypti uses a passphrase as a single private key which is not stored, but the blockchain transactions concept is similar in both (?).

Yes

Let me explain the last 24 hours. We finished and started the roll-out of 0.1.8. We first rolled it out to some of our nodes and the IRC channel. We then started rolling it out to exchanges. BTER was first and implemented 0.1.8 yesterday. After getting his node up and running, Karma (Creator of CryptiKit) found a bug and reported it to Boris. We stopped the roll-out to fix the bug. Boris ended up fixing the bug yesterday evening but then they found another possible problem while fixing that. So last night and this morning Boris was working to fix the problems. He believes he has it fixed and just rolled out an update of 0.1.8 to the IRC channel and our nodes. We are going to give it an hour or so while he runs to the Market to make sure no more issues arise. At that point, we will update the exchanges and then post the release notes and download link.

If you transferred money yesterday, it's possible that it was either transferred from a node on a different version or transferred TO a node that was on a different version at the time (i.e. BTER). The funds are not lost and the transaction can be re-sent once everyone is updated to the new version and it will go through as usual. The issue is probably related to the halted roll-out due to the discovered bugs.

Keep in mind 0.1.8 was a partial optimization and for 0.1.9 we actually went back and re-wrote everything from scratch to use the new DB structure and improve every aspect of the code. While 0.1.8 loads in about 20 minutes (way faster than previous version), 0.1.9 is a tenfold increase in performance in lots of areas and is running effectively on 512 mb instances. We should be ready to put 0.1.9 into testing this week if all goes well.

Is that a comment or a question?
