So what's the big differences between Ethereum and Crypti? If they are pretty similar then I don't know why anyone would choose Crypti over Ether.

Hey, sorry for the late answer. You asked for the big differences, therefore I will only list the bigger items below. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I heavily suggest you watch the Crypti platform preview video and the preview video of our first dapp Encrypti. After you watched them you can understand much better, what I'm talking about below.

Ethereum is a smart contract platform, Crypti is a decentralized application platform.

Where is the difference? Well, Crypti offers an all-round package for hosting your decentralized applications, registering them on the blockchain and insertion into Crypti's own dapp store. One click on install and another click on launch, and your dapp already opens up in a new window. Ethereum only offers (as far as I know) a backend system, i.e. a system for the logic of decentralized applications. That means with Ethereum alone you can only combine several smart contracts to create the backend code of your decentralized application. After that you have to take care of the frontend, storage and so on for yourself.

Take a look at Augur or Gnosis, the frontend is hosted on a centralized server. While at Crypti it will be hosted at a maximum of 101 master nodes. Of course at Crypti you can also download it yourself (a click on install) and launch it locally.

Hundreds of sidechains versus one big mainchain

At Crypti you create a new sidechain for every dapp you create. This way the mainchain of Crypti will stay very small and will not get polluted/bloated with unnecessary or dead dapp data. On the other hand Ethereum saves everything on one chain, on the main chain. The future will show which model is better.

Yesterday the size of the Crypti blockchain (after 6 months) was 335MB, while Ethereums blockchain size was over 790MB 40 days after launch. I don't want to imagine what happens once there are 1000 smart contracts on Ethereum.

The same goes for the gas price in Ethereum, right now it's in a state where it doesn't need to grow. But once there are hundreds of contracts alive it will grow higher and higher beecause the computation power is saturated.

Crypti dapps are coded in JavaScript, while Ethereum relies on Serpent and Solidity.

I don't have any numbers to back my hypotheses, but there are probably 1M JavaScript developers world-wide. How many Serpent and Solidity programmers are there? A few hundreds maybe, Ethereum created these languages themselves. Crypti relies on a proven language instead to reinvent the wheel.

Crypti is running on DPoS, Ethereum on PoW

I'm no big fan of PoW and I'm sure there are many more like me. This is a personal preference. If you like DPoS/PoS more, go to Crypti. If you like PoW more (and want to ignore above points), go to Ethereum.

Last but not least, here is a comparison table I made in the past days. I will begin to distribute it in the coming days.

Gotcha. Thanks for the detailed explanation! I'll definitely look more into Crypti because DAPPs are obviously going to play a big part in the future.
