PayPal has announced partnerships with the three largest payment processors in the bitcoin space – BitPay, Coinbase and GoCoin.

Agree, If we do want to catch those few decent design and a designer with a heart for crypto just invite the community to the 99 contest to have a fair fight.
thou one can choose not to choose a winning design on 99, people are investing their time and efforts, so should treat them with maximum respect and not split the contest between multiple platforms simultaneously.

Agree...

I highly recommend against it. The good designers on BCT are few and far between, in addition it just looks very unprofessional. If you look at most threads, there re sometimes close to 30 entries, but only one or two look even half decent, the rest are made by "non-designers" looking to cash in on a bounty, most look like they've been designed in MS Paint.

In-Wallet Escrow?

Could you elaborate?

Also I read in the blog that you will be using 99designs for a new logo etc.
Please set up a BCT contest too, there are some very good designers here. You could chose between the two but I don't see how it will hurt using two platforms.
If all it will involve the community more and maybe you'll find a designer with a heart for crypto.  

Are you thinking of making an independent and anonymous node?    If you are that is not what Crypti is about.  There is no anonymity with Crypti.  We are going to have VERIFIED MERCHANTS, not dark accounts.  Each user of Crypti will know exactly where their XCR is going. 

There will be two other features introduced later that will further make using XCR as safe for the user as Credit Cards are now.

I myself would love a tool to create and restore an address offline (for a specific passphrases)
Please read. I've never used the word wallet here. a wallet is a just a place to store/interact with your privet keys. Crypti lets you log in directly with your (single) privet key.
there could be a service for crypti to hash and store multiple passphrases as well.
the common 'Wallet' term was under criticism several times before, but the way the coins (or 'amounts') are stored in similar to what you described also for altcoins.

If I'm able to produce an address with my passphrases offline, then I have a cold wallet. its just an algorithm. I don't need an access to the blockchain or it's info to find the address (public key) that suites my passphrase (private key).
Give me an option in the UI to choose or create my own node. you can also make the node wallet.crypti.me uses as the default node for now.
I have patience, and I do expect a first class product and high expectations from this project. but still suggest to pack and provide the interface as a downloadable independent version for now if this is possible and can be considered as an easy task.

You are thinking that the XCR coins are stored in a "wallet" just like other AltCoins.  But that is not how Crypti is done.  The "coins" are stored in the blockchain, which you can access from any computer using a browser and logging on to the online "wallet".  The windows wallet is just a graphical interface for the node.

Definitions:

Wallet- the UI for the node
Node- a connecting point in the crypti network.

You will not be able to store XCR in cold storage, like BTC. 

As for the wallet I have been testing..... I have tested several revisions, a new one every two days or so,  and found issues that needed correcting.  The devs have been hard at work correcting these.  Crypti is blazing a new trail in cybercoins, not just recoding a QT wallet. 

Hang in there,,,, when the bugs are ironed out, you will have a first class product.

Hi durnkenWiz,

Thanks for pointing this issue out, I really appreciate it.

I've patched the issue on github so it will be included in the next release.

- https://github.com/karmacoma/cryptikit/commit/618c205cd318feab2b7d3336024393cd51cc6906

Kind regards, Karmacoma24.

Why not give people a simple downloadable "just a wallet" in the meantime, until you solve the forging issue?
You guys sure do raise the bar with your self expectations which is something to adore. but if packing the interface into a downloadable independent version is an easy task, maybe you should provide it first? This could calm down some keyed up users who don't have such high expectations (can't blame them), and be helpful.
I myself would love a tool to create and restore an address offline (for a specific passphrases)

Update:
installed cryptikit on a vps from cinfu.com (paid with btc), then ran cryptikit from there and it worked. However I had some issues with the hosts that already had nodejs installed ( apt-get exit status: 100 when installing nodejs). So I modified the rakefile adding
      execute 'apt-get', '-f', '--yes', 'install'
      execute 'apt-get', '-y', 'remove', 'nodejs'
before
      info 'Installing apt dependencies...'
      execute 'apt-get', 'install', '-f', '--yes', kit.apt_dependencies
I guess I could have made a different rakefile for those hosts, but I'm kinda clueless to Linux and this works so far, although it might take a few hours to install on all nodes

Thanks  karmacoma24!

Thank you very much. I'll try my best as a Crypti board member to make Crypti a success!

Cool   Team is growing.

I wanna nominate karmacoma24 to board Cause he do some cool stuff for crypti people.

UPDATE

The new blog post is up. It covers the official confirmation of new Board members and a recap of our current team, the status of the windows client, a shout out to KarmaComa24 for his great work on CryptiKit, as an update on our logo design and re-brand and where we stand.

Read it here: https://crypti.ghost.io/status-update-22-sep-14/

Sorry, I know everyone is waiting and i'm not trying to come off as rude or short, but I want to make sure everyone actually understands that it isn't really a "windows wallet" but rather the server node technology running in windows as a 1 click install.

No offense but you are wrong. It's not a wallet. The wallet has worked in windows from day 1. You can load the web wallet from any computer, phone, tablet, or device that has a browser in the world.

Everyone needs to understand that what we are building for windows and what you are asking for isn't a wallet at all. There is no local wallet on any platform. The web wallet is just an interface to pull and load your balance and submit transactions back to the network. Theres no difference between the web wallet at wallet.crypti.me and one you load from your computer.

What we are building and what you are asking us to rush and finish is actually the software that allows you to run a server node on your windows desktop. This is not "just a wallet" and is actually much more complex than apparently you understand.

There is nothing in existence for us to mimic, duplicate, copy code from, or use as a basis. It's completely different than anything on the market. There are unforeseen problems that we have to sort out before we can release it. This is going to be in our blog post later but the issue is with the forging for the windows nodes once they are introduced to the network. For some reason the network is dropping them when they are due to forge but is also resetting their weight. I don't know if it is a timing issue between windows and Linux, or something as simple as the differences in the TTL of packet or what. Boris and SyRenity are working on it but we won't release until it's working as intended.

We have people who have been testing the windows wallet and can tell you that it runs perfectly as far as loading the wallet, the interface, and the interaction portions. The issue is that we have forgers who have had their nodes running for 30 hours with 0 forged blocks while the same users Linux wallets on Digital Ocean have forged 15 blocks, so something is obviously off. This is the only issue and as soon as we isolate and fix the problem, it will be ready. Until then, it will not.

Development Update

As many of you may have noticed, we are experiencing some issues with the network and the PoT syncing. We believe we may know the cause and are working on a new release that will hopefully fix the issue. In the meantime, please bear with is as we attempt to fix the problem. We are aware of the issue and working to get a fix out.

We will be releasing a blog post shortly with an update on a lot of items that will speak to the status of the windows wallet (which I know everyone is anxious about). We are still trying to hammer out a few items.

As always, we will keep you up to date on the status of the updates. Thanks!

CryptiKit Update

Small update again today to fix some installation issues some people have been having.

Please download here: https://github.com/karmacoma/cryptikit/releases/tag/v1.3.1

Changelog

Installation bug fixes:

• Fixed installation issue when installing rvm as root

Full changelog now available here: https://github.com/karmacoma/cryptikit/blob/master/Changelog.md

ATTN: durnkenWiz (#CryptiTalk IRC)
durnkenWiz asked me in #CryptiTalk IRC today about installing CryptiKit on a cloud server rather than your local machine and then installing each crypti node from there. I can confirm this works on Digital Ocean but not on GetClouder as they seem to refuse ssh connections from one server to another server within the same GetClouder network. One workaround is to create a small droplet on Digital Ocean, install CryptiKit on it. Add your GetClouder servers to CryptiKit. Then install and monitor your nodes from there. If anyone has a better idea, please let me know.

Anyone else having issues installing CryptiKit, please let me know. I am looking to make the installation process as painless as possible.

Cheers, Karmacoma24.

Ask other forgers.

We will be happy to release full fixed version, but it takes time.
Soon we will release 0.1.6d, bugs with sync must be fixed.
