I think Crypti's current logo, suits Crypti a lot better than #52.

#52 is what you call a generic design.  It doesn't relate to Crypti in any way, it has a font that is very similar to other widely used fonts, and the color's used in it are from a "general" color palette. What this all means is that #52 is a design that can be applied to any brand, wheter it be a food brand, bank, newspaper etc. It's not tailor-made for Crypti, I wouldn't be surprised if the designer who posted this design also uses it for another contest.

So you think #52 is "bland" but not our current logo or the one you just posted? What is your definition of bland?

Okay, as I mentioned earlier I didn't really like any of the new logo designs. I've adapted the current logo to create the one below, if you notice the "C" has been edited slightly to look less chunky. I've kept the Crypti font as I really like it and I've tried to keep the same color scheme as the current one. So just to show you guys what I mean, here it is :







#Take note I didn't have access to the actual font used in the current logo, I had to re-create it in Illustrator so that's why the fonts may look a bit jagged and rough. Also I just re-did this in about 10 minutes so the quality isn't all that good, when i have more time I'll redo it proper.

I cant vote becasue there is not a "NONE OF THE ABOVE" choice.  Can you add one?

Well we are in the tailoring phase to help them improve the designs so we can pick a finalist. These are the kinds of things we can tweak now that we have ideas of the look.

GreXX, to be honest, none of them really look that great. The fonts used in a lot of them are either too bland or simply unprofessional. #52, looks the most professional, but it's very bland and doesn't really relate to Crypti all that much. #47 by afterclouds, stands out more but the font used in it in't that grand.

Yeah I hope people understand where we were going now. We don't dislike the Lunate Sigma, just felt like a more stylized and professional / exciting logo would be nice.

Although I do kind of have a thing for #52. Something about it is intriguing. Maybe it's just the thought of having our own giant windowed office building, lol.

I vote for #43by 99"aries 

Logo Update

While you are waiting patiently, help us narrow down our Logo contest entries to a winner! We have moved on to the finalists round and created a poll out of some of our favorite options and we would like your opinion on the current choices.

We would love to hear your feedback. Keep in mind we will be making the final choice, but we would love to hear your thoughts!

Well PoS isn't really a good explanation but it was the only term people would understand. Stake never even factors in aside from the 1000 XCR required to forge. So really it's not an accurate description.

I just want to say thank you for both the positive and negative comments. We want an active community and that means we expect and want both sides of the coin.

I don't deny that this is a setback and was a critical issue. We feel the same. I hope no one thinks we would be ok or want the network down for 3 days. Keep in mind our equity is in Crypti and my actual paycheck each month is in XCR. So I am more vested than anyone. If the value of XCR tanks, I have completely wasted 6 months of my life and countless hours.

We all feel this way. We are doing everything we can to get back to stable. We COULD keep rebooting all of the nodes and trying to patchwork the network in the meantime, but it doesn't fix the problem. So we decided to focus our efforts on solving the problem which is what we are doing now.

There are only really 2 unique systems in the crypto world. Proof of Work, that none of us really remember the early days or were around for them and Proof of Stake, which went through the same growing pains as we are now. I won't keep beating a dead horse but until we allowed everyone with different systems, different internet speeds, different setups to start running nodes and attaching to the network, we couldn't predict the results. Now we can and are adjusting as such.

Our testnet appears to be stable right now and is 1 min intervals like clockwork, no halts, no sync problems, and looks to be humming. We need to continue to scale with more nodes from different services and watch the forging to ensure it's working correctly and forging right.

We will keep you posted of the status.

Any market balances risk with reward.  

A commodity that is relatively risk free will have a trading price close to its cost of production. Thus there will be very little change in the trading price of that commodity, unless the cost of production suddenly increases or the commodity suffers a sudden shortage, increased demand, or government intervention.

A commodity that carries a high risk, will have a trading price low enough to produce a high reward for the traders.  Thus, the commodity will trade for a low amount initially, and then as the prospect of high return approaches (increased value), the trading price will rise to reflect the lower risk.  

Right now, Crypti is still in the high risk area.  Thus the trading price really does not move much.  As the features are released, and the bugs fixed, the value and thus the trading price of XCR will increase.  

I think many have forgotten that XCR is for commerce, not trading on exchanges.  I am holding my XCR so some day soon, I can use them to make a purchase and brag that I bought a new car  for $40,000 USD using  10,000XCR that I purchased for only 880 satoshi each;  which is roughly a $50USD investment.

Now, wouldn't you like to buy a new car for $50?  

Crypti team please push harder to resolve the issues. ASAP.

Three proof-of-stake algorithms but no stake holders.  How does that work?

That is too funny.

Were you not aware when buying xcr that no promises were made? Nobody can guarantee a brand new original code/idea for a crypto currency will come to fruition smoothly, or at all. If xcr sending capability stopped because there was a critical world ending bug that was not foreseen then none of us can complain.

That is why buying any crypto is risky especially XCR which is trailblazing new territory. If you want to make thousands times your investment then you have to take on a lot of risk too. Thankfully, according to Grexx it is not a coin ending bug, but is them rethinking and now implementing a fix to the core. Does that really shock you that something built from scratch might have to do that at some point to make it better?

If you think bitcoin is the wild west then baby crypti is even wilder. Those of us who stick with it through the next year or years are going to be sickly rewarded. Those who sell at the first sign of trouble are more conservative and there's nothing wrong with that. If you exit crypti you might escape an unforeseen catastrophe 3 months from now. But you also might miss out on something bigger than bitcoin. Everyone's risk tolerance is different.

I agree with Grexx. This is the way I look at it. Crypti wanted to create a payment platform and digital currency. The goal in the end is for people to use xcr to pay for things like we use the dollar. Like the dollar people will be willing to do things to earn xcr. So in order for this to happen one day, the Crypti team needs to somehow distribute the coins since it is pos not pow.

So they could have just given them all away but the problem is crypti needs funds to finish building the protocol since it is an original code and to market it etc. So they hold an "ipo" for 750 btc. The devs get funds to ensure Crypti succeeds. The "investors" are now the initial distributors of a potential currency. We are not stakeholders really.

We are lucky holders of something that can have enormous value and we bought it for very little. I look at it like if the U.S dollar were started this way and in order to initally distribute it people were offered to buy 1 millions dollars for 5 silver pieces. You are not a stakeholder of the dollar. But today you would have 1 million dollars at its current value in your possession.

The key thing to note here, is that we are fine with delays, but what essentially has happened here is that the network has been virtually shutdown for over 3 days. We are all well aware of the fact that Crypti is new software, and there will no doubt be bugs, but you can't go for days with the network at a standstill. Please give us a bit more insight into the problem.

What do you mean "we" aren't stakeholders? Of course we are stakeholders - that this is not a company is not relevant... what we purchased amounts to a % of the entire protocol. The value of the stake is directly proportional to the value of the entire protocol - for that reason these are stakes in the protocol itself.

That there is no vote attached to these shares doesn't mean that what the purchaser got was not a % of a network.

I agree that this is a major issue - it looks as if Crypti is in trouble.

You can't shut down the transfer ability of a network whose only function is to transfer information (for three days at that!). Delays, in my opinion, are expected and fine - especially if the team is extensively testing the upcoming features. This, however, is more severe - here the technical ability of the team is coming into question... I would not cash out even if I could, but my confidence in the team is the lowest it has been so far.

Hope Crypti pulls through!

I had an idea for an animation that would start out with just a letter "C" then a key coming in from the side, then rotate horizontally. Like its unlocking a lock. And then when the key is removed it reveals a small spinning globe in the center. Like Crypti is the key that will unlock the world.
