Hello Crypti Followers!

Two weeks ago we announced the frontend open beta test for v0.3.0 of the Crypti client. You had the chance to test the new design, GUI elements, contacts, usernames and more. However, you were only able to test the new version via our web client on http://testnet.crypti.me.

From today onwards you can also test the backend of the Linux client. This includes installing the client, start it and let it run in different environments.

What is new in this version?

• Revamped the complete user interface and user experience
  • It follows the material design guidelines.
  • Will be expanded and enhanced from time-to-time, with every coming release.
• SSL support for your public node
  • This makes it secure for the users to use public nodes.
  • You should never use any public node, which doesn't have a https connection.
• Usernames
  • You can now register your very own username, which also acts as an alias for your account ID.
  • I.e. you can send money to "Max" instead of "6739239032906543334C".
  • Usernames are unique and can't be changed right now.
• Contacts
  • The contacts are saved on the blockchain.
  • This allows you to access contacts from everywhere and any device.
  • If both parties are connected, there is a friendship-like connection then, which can be used for account verification/trust/reputation.
• Version Control
  • Auto detection of a newer Crypti client version with a link to the newest download.

Where do I report bugs?

If you found some bugs in the current version you can report them on our official forum in the Bugs section. You can report every type of bug, frontend and backend. We also like to see user experience posts, if you want to write one you can publish it in our Suggestion Box.

Bounties

The same as two weeks ago there is a way to earn some XCR! Striving for the best user experience possible, we are offering bounties for every user experience post and reported bug.
