Topic: [XCR] Crypti | Dapps | Sidechains | Dapp Store | OPEN SOURCE | 100% own code | DPoS - page 250. (Read 804701 times)

My idea for the logo is to show that Crypti is for the whole world, and I purposely chose a blue marble that was not US centered. 

I personally dont like the idea with the earth inside because its too much of a grafic. Also, logo is actually much smaller so you wouldnt really see earth!

Here is what I was able to do in MS Paint.   I no longer have a computer with photoshop on it, so I have to use Paint.

The logo needs work, like perhaps color work, thicker/thinner C, reduced size of the earth dot, etc.

I even thought about making the tail of the C into an arrow

don't you all think the quotes are getting to long???

ps: i bought some

We want better designs!
Making a contest in 99 is not a bad idea by itself for certain purposes (getting new ideas, or make/remake a well defined project) , but there are certain rules in order to get with a good result and "fish" the participation of the professional designers over there (which are few and mostly doing it as an hobby until coming to the obvious agenda against the platform).

Your suggested designers looks professional. @Wulfcastle
I like the first font you used there, as it got a lot of character. can you name it please?
Intuitively I think it won't suit Crypti, but I can't tell since I don't have the tools to judge it upon. Judging results should be based on pre-defined goals, just like in everything else.
In order to even have an educated discussion we need those pre defined goals and values we want this logo to commute. otherwise it's just a matter of personal taste, which may differ.
When having those, we can brake it down and judge the result by the nature of it, and even ask those who are unfamiliar with the goals, to see if we manged to achieve what we wanted.

The real work should be on defining those goals, leaving this to the designer is possible only if he have the resources/time to understand what Crypti is and build his own vision (which better be moderated and approved)

This should ease the work of every designer out there, both pro and beginners. will be even more noticeable for the website/wallet UI/complete brand.

About current events on Crypti network. I think its not bad that devs are changing code. Why? Because they might come up with something much better.

That only means the network is evolving.

No worries here!

Good to hear it. 




On another note: I very much hope the network is up when https://twitter.com/moolah_io/status/516021827911843840 happends.
Else there will be no XCR on MP and thus MP may opt not to add XCR.

Very nice, Wulfcastle! This is what we all (comunity) should be doing - giving solutions to issues and not only critisizing!

I feel the same way actually - it would be much better to choose one proffesional designer with references and then leave him to do a complete branding. This way you have one guy-maybe team thats going to really focus on Crypti idea and will definately make great design. Usually quality logo and branding costs around 500eur but it could cost more if theres more work to be done.  I believe that the results would be better - and crypti need superb and profesional design.

5KB, you are on the money there. There have been many times over the past few months I've thought "to hell with it, sell everything and move on". But there was something about the idea behind Crypti, and the dev's, that keep me invested that I can't let go of. It wasn't until I read your post that I realized why. I've worked in IT for the past ten years or so. As an administrator, I've had more than one opportunity to work with in house programmers working on custom builds for very specific requirements. A lot of the things I've worked with have been basically taking the backend of several different packages and piecing them together into a front end that is seamless, useful and intuitive to the end user. That task alone was hard enough and a year in the planning/build/rebuild stages. Not to mention the need to come up with changes on the fly as other software it relied on was updated. Eventually we decided to build our own complete package from the ground up. SQL backend, NT integrated, etc. We had a team of competent designers that took almost two more years to get a final product. Working around the clock, full time, as their professional job and it still took us almost two years. So, for me, these minor setbacks with Crypti are put into perspective when I look back to previous projects I've worked on.

I wasn't suggesting that the logo I posted above should be used at all, I was just trying to show the different fonts that could be used for it. Though I do think that it looks a ton better than the 99designs logo's.

The bottom line here is that the team excluding GreXX need to catch a wake-up in design. You guys got it lucky with your previous designer as he knew more or less what he was doing, Crypti the way it currently looks is a testament to that. GreXX is your creative designer and he's in charge of design and I know that no creative designer, given the appropriate amount of money, would post something as big as logo design on a "contest site".

As you all can see how terribly the community has reacted towards these designs, hopefully now you learn that you simply can't skimp on design. You guys have over 750 BTC, why don't you actually use it? Give GreXX the opportunity to hire a proper design team and get Crypti's branding done properly.

What I'm posting below is for the community to see. I've come up with an outlay for Crypti's whole design process, based on a $15 000 budget and a 2-month time frame. $15 000 is about 35 BTC at the current exchange rate, which is really not that much considering how big of an impact Crypti's branding will make.

Designers for each step





All of the designers I've provided will fit into the allocated budget for each step, I would know as I've asked for quotes on design work in the past (where I needed to work with other designers). Now I want, you, the community to take a look at the designers' work here and compare it to the types of design that we saw on 99designs. You'll notice a HUGE difference in quality.

@Devs, I have provided multiple possible designers to choose for each stage, as well as a plan itself to help you guys get through the whole process. The ball is now in your half of the court, the community wants to see better designs.

@Community, if any of you want to see Crypti's logo and branding to be on par with the work done by the designers above, then post "We want better designs!"

Made in mspaint, but you get the point

More like building on the code they created. I don't see it as a step back but just ensuring the network works before going viral.
We all knew this would happend on one occasion or the other. When you deal with new code you will encounter bugs, errors, and growing pains as network expands. This is really no surprise because they built everything themselves. on the top of my head I can't name any innovative coin that didn't go through a phase of sorting their code due to some unforseen circumstance that opted them to. Now that the network has been offline for a couple days is bad but necessary. One can hope they sort it sooner than later but as I see it they are on top of it.
As you can see, the price is ok stable because the people who invested in this have patience and faith in the developer team as they should.
So to throw out "amateur" or the such is wrong in my opinion I don't feel like there are many developer teams like this... imagine the same scenario in a thread of another coin. People would run for their lives because they don't really believe the developers or their capabilities of sorting stuff.
Or they simply don't care for the coin and just want a quick RoI.

The bottom line is I don't feel they are amateurs I feel they handle it ok. The one thing I can agree too is that I feel there should be more developers so we can speed up the coding process. For this to happend I feel like the Crypti team might have to take it down a notch (as in realizing there are many talented developers other than themselves) because what you need is manpower. I believe you set up mid october - late october for your short term goals right now that doesn't look too near if this isn't resolved soon and that will dissapoint even myself whom is a pretty calm investor but like I said new things take time and patience is often rewarded because it is a rare condition in these parts. /rant off

I don't like the logos from 99desings, neither the last one. 

I actually quite like the logo unchi made, so I've re-done his version of the logo with some new fonts

Canter :





Mohave :




Bebas Nueue :




Proxima Nova :

Here's the above logo with a new color palette :

That's actually not half bad, heck of a lot better than the ones on 99designs.  Just I think it looks better inverted, currently it reminds me a bit of a re-cycle logo

BTW, on a side note, is anyone planning on attending the Inside Bitcoin - Las Vegas conference in October?

We call it PoT / PoP / PoI in everything that we wrote or the "Hybrid Proof System". But initially, because that didn't make sense in a quick title blurb, the original title called it 3 PoS algorithms to try to make it understandable to the casual glance. At the end of the day it's just semantics, but you are right that we should come up with a better way to quickly reference it. I'll bring it up internally.

The system is completely outlined in multiple places with in depth explanations of how we determine who forges a block and what the system is based on. To say that it is not clarified anywhere and use that as an explanation for why people here are often surprised is misleading. People here are often surprised because they didn't bother to read the associated materials or do any research.

If it is not really a good explanation then don't explain it as that.  Find a better word/phrase for it.  Make one up and define it in your whitepaper if you have too.

I find this very funny because you say you have three PoS algorithms, none of which are PoS algorithms.  Then you say you have no stakeholders and no PoS system, when you (of course) do have both, just like Bitcoin.  (The fact that you might not utilize those proofs as a part of the mining and subsidy process is irrelevant - the whole function of the network is still to be a secure ledger, a proven record open interest or "stake.")


Certainly these details are not well clarified anywhere, people in your thread seem to be repeatedly surprised by the stuff going on in your protocol.

why no local crypti node for Macintosh ?
