Mal,

the REAL KILLER DAPP for XCR will be a HTML plug-in that processes micropayments for paywall websites. 

Paywall web sites, as or now, require Credit Card or PayPal payments for monthly or yearly subscriptions.  Problem with that, is that if the subscriber does not like the content, he has already paid for a month or a year.  Also, sometime you only want to read one or two relavent articles, but now have to buy a full subscription and use a CC.  This opens up the risk of CC fraud, and also exposes your true identity, which is recorded and subject to future use by the vendor, third party vendors, and the governments.

Micro payments are the future of paywall web sites.  The DAPP would function by sending a small amount of BTC or XCR or any other alt currency to the website's wallet or payment service.  Instead of a $40 yearly subscription, a customer can read the one or two relevant web articles for 50,000 sats or 10 XCR. 

We applied some fixes to the online testnet version. We hope everything is working fine for you.

Close, we are still tweaking the last details. Expect to hear more next week.

Quite a few information will be in the whitepaper. Devs are currently busy with fixing some things in v0.3.0 and v0.3.1. After that we can concentrate 100% on the dapps again.

This is actually the very first sensible idea I've heard about Crypti. But developing it may take months.

We understand you, it will take a short while more. Please remind, v0.3.0 not only have a new UI. It has many new features as well, including several bugfixes and refactoring of many code parts.

I really like this idea too. Dapps will shine brightest only when they accomplish something "normal" apps cannot...

If you want to get started on a sports betting dapp, the logical place to start is with the Betfair API.

To get people interested in a Crypti sprts betting dapp, we've got to branch out beyond our currently pathetic relationship with Cryptsy/Bter/Poloniex.  In three more days we are apparently going to win the vote to get integrated into Coinomat, which could be critical in easily converting Crypti into other forms of "real money" that could be spent by sports betting users.  This is also a key component in making a sports betting dapp work and gain wide usage.

Say we create an Android smartphone app that is also a Crypti sports betting dapp.  The Android app would access the Crypti blockchain system through the Crypti subroutine, get current betting information (recent winners in previous races and current odds in upcoming races) through the Betfair API, and handle transactions transformations between Crypti and other currencies via access to the Coinomat system.  A user would have to register an account at Crypti, Betfair and Coinomat.  This registration could be automated and consolidated into the Android smartphone app.  Betfair will not accept packets originating from the US because of the aggressive anti-gambling stance of the US Justice Department so the Android app would have to include a VPN function to route all comms with Betfair thru the EU.  Betfair required users of their API system to get a "user key", also part of the registration process.

So...you have to have real-world interfaces to several existing systems, but your personal bets would not be on a single computer server that could be raided or shut down, they would be on the blockchain.  There would be no single person that the US Justice Department could arrest or single "bookie" website that could seized.  Betfair (a licensed UK corporation) would only be providing information to a Crypti dapp, not actually holding the money (which is how Betfair makes a profit currently in the real world - they act as the escrow bagman smart contract agent between their users).   Coinomat is registered in the Cayman Islands and that's probably about as "safe" as it gets with money exchange.  

So yeah, an Android smartphone app Crypti dapp for sports betting would be revolutionary - and decentralized.  Coinomat would work with us to develop this because it would help their growth, too.  Betfair would never know we were doing it - we would just be adding more users to their routine API system.

This is too good of an idea to let it die.  Once custom blockchains smart contracts are a part of Crypti, I will start hammering on this idea over and over to organize the required programming effort.  Which will be significant but worth it.

I don't see a problem here - do you?   Crypti IS a token. What can you buy with it?  Nothing.  Where can you spend it?  Nowhere.  Do current game apps allow you to pay real money for in-game tokens/assets?  Yes.  

If we do create a sports betting dapp on side blockchains, it will be a game token smartphone app that is eligible for distribution on both Google Play and Apple App Store.  The fact that Crypti can (with great difficulty) be exchanged cashed out for something that is less like a token and more like money does not disqualify a dapp based on it from distribution via Google or Apple.

Don't confuse Android and Google Play Store.  Even if Google Play Store were to disallow a Crypti dapp for download there, many other ways exist to get that app/dapp onto Android smartphones.

True in the past, but not in the future.  Think big.  This is an idea worth pursuing and if it were a simple rollout it would have been done already.  What I am proposing is a smartphone-based version of the Betfair gambling website whose customer wagers are recorded and serviced on a Crypti side blockchain instead of a UK website server farm.  This can be done.  It would have huge advantages in expanding sports gaming beyond government reach.  It would put Crypti on the map and make us a premier cryptocurrency virtually overnight.

And replacing competing with Betfair is BIG BUSINESS.  I ran across an article today about just how big Betfair is:

Betfair has 1.7 million customers.  Crypti can evolve to take a BIG piece of this pie.  Let's do it.
