We are now into the first week of post-launch activity and have a fully functional and stable wallet. While some work still needs to be done on minor bug fixes and a few tweaks here and there, we wanted to give the community a sneak peek into what the next 12 months of development will look like.

Working Block Explorer
Released September 15th, 2014: http://live.crypti.me/
The working block explorer will be developed internally and is a top priority. The initial functionality will be to allow the same types of searches most are accustomed to with other currencies.
Eventually, we would like to add in a fun facts system for things like largest transaction, biggest whale, most forged, etc.
Native Windows Wallet (1-Click Installer)
This pretty much speaks for itself. We need a 1-click easy windows installer for the Crypti node technology. This is a priority and is something we want done just as much as you do!
Custom Block Chains
This feature is a major core feature and part of what sets Crypti apart. This will allow companies to launch custom block chains that will function on top of the Crypti block chain providing them the security and stability of the Crypti network which was founded with a system that encourages adopters to run nodes and help build out that network.
The possibilities for custom block chains are endless. From applications, to services (i.e. Storj), to financial instruments (like DACs), all of these would be possible applications built using the custom block chain features. It’s like rolling all of the best ideas into one product to run on top of a block chain built with revolutionary technology. Yes, I’m excited!
Re-Brand, Web Design, & Marketing Materials
This developmental goal encompasses a lot of design work. We plan to do a complete re-brand and re-design of our entire property. This will mean a new look for the website, forums, reddit, twitter, and probably even the wallet. The wallet may wait until we start the new design and features.
This will also encompass additional marketing materials such as flyers, banners, logo and slogan designs for coffee mugs (ok, that one I just added but I want one!), as well as infographics comparing Crypti to other major coins.
This will be a huge task but will be done by the design team and can be done concurrently to the development teams work on the core features and wallet.
Crypti Introduction Video
The script for the Crypti video has been done for quite a while but we were awaiting funds release to be able to hire the company to design it. We will start with an introduction video and then possibly develop more down the road. This will explain Crypti to anyone new to our coin and explain how the Hybrid Weighting System works. (PoT, PoP, PoI).
Mobile Client
This feature is exactly as it sounds, this will be a mobile client for the block chain explorer and wallet. This is important for long term growth and will be a key product.
Online Marketplace Management
This section will be updated shortly.
Merchant Review System
Think of this like Yelp, Google+ Local, and other apps that you use to rank and rate services and companies. It will allow reviews and ratings of verified merchants much like how Amazon works. It will be built in as a core feature of the merchant system and will be mandatory for anyone who has registered with the Crypti network as a merchant.
In-Wallet Escrow System
This will be a built in system to provide escrow services from within the Crypti Wallet. We are not ready to release details about how this will work as of yet. We need to protect some things from the competition. ;-)
App Store (Featuring developer Crypti apps)
This is also a secret project that we aren’t willing to discuss openly yet. I think from the name you can kind of get a hint of how this might work, but details will come later on when we can demonstrate a working beta.
Payment Processing System
We value partnerships and plan to work with as many existing services as possible. That being said, a payment processing system needs to be done right and we think creating a branded and cohesive system along with our core products is a key business for us. Think BitPay for Crypti!
Affiliate & Referrals System
This will be built into the Merchant Management and Online Marketplace and will allow vendors to implement an affiliate or referral system into their stores. In essence allowing them to assign a percentage of their profits to be sent back to the address that referred the customer. The affiliate system will use a generate affiliate ID that will be tied to a Crypti wallet.
Verified Owners Voting
This will be a wallet based voting system that will allow those holding Crypti to have their voice heard through a verified voting mechanism. This will ensure all voters are Crypti holders.
Profile Based Contact Lists
This is something we thought of from the beginning but are now seeing crop up in several wallets. The idea is that you would be able to assign contacts to wallet addresses within the wallet, containing profiles of your friends. Then when you wanted to send a payment to someone, or a certain address (like your BTER wallet) you could simply type @BTER or look in a dropdown list and it would bring up the contact you tagged with that label. The Ninki wallet is a good example of what we had in mind here.
Keep in mind that this is by no means a final list and items will be added as we add them internally.
