Scred now lets you create pools when on the move
We’d like to thank all the users who have been sending us feedback and comments. We are working hard to implement some of those requests. Meanwhile we have released support for creating pools directly with the mobile website, so you can easily build a pool when you are on the road and forgot to do it at home.
Additionally, on the normal website, we made the user’s own currency the default when creating a pool (as it used to be) and smartened up both the registration form and the pool creation. Various other bug fixes have also been rolled out.
Hopefully this small update (dubbed ‘BehindTheLines‘) will be useful to you. Expect something more in the not too far future.

Scred slides from ArcticStartup event in Tallinn
For anyone interested, I just uploaded Scred’s slides from the Arctic Evening in Tallinn, organised by ArcticStartup. It was a 3 minute pitch which, for us, mostly focused on the new MiniCorp functionality.
The slides also include some screenshots about setting up a MiniCorp with a shop (as it looked when the slides were made).
The slides are available on Slideshare. Enjoy.
Scred makes registration easier
We fully understand that some people are impatient. So we put in some work and made registration to Scred easier than it has ever been before. Now there are only three fields to fill in! Even the currency field has been pre-selected with the currency you will most likely want, based on the country you are visiting from. If you’re not happy with what it chose, simply select the currency you’re happiest with (it can also be changed in your profile). Now your friends will have no excuse for not signing up.
Additionally we made some other small fixes here and there, including growing the size of the MiniCorp shop item description, to make addition and editing easier.
Edited to add that our release is called The Begotten.
Pop over to Scred to take a look.
Finally, take a glance at one of our mascots, the Scredidog!
“I will be rich with MiniCorps” + coding anything in a Twitter message?
A while ago we mentioned how the “YouTube for comics”, MahShelf, had set up a MiniCorp claiming to draw a comic on some topic for the grand total of 1 euro. This was an offer too good to resist and today they delivered. Here is the result:
For 1 euro, that was a bargain and of course it’s great to support anyone wanting to be creative. We reckon every startup should have commissioned their own comic!
Not happy with that challenge, Memphis, one of the main coders behind MahShelf, has launched a new challenge to the world, where he claims to be able to code pretty much anything inside a single Tweet. This certainly gets us curious…
Scred would like to hear how you use it + updates
We have just pushed out a new release of Scred called Battlefield, but first we would like to give the microphone to you. We’d love to hear how you are using Scred and where. What is good, what is bad? What is the one thing you’d like to see in a service dealing with money for groups? Or just say hi.

On to the latest updates:
- You can now configure the description of your pool in the ‘Settings’ tab. This is also used as the description of a MiniCorp shop.
- The settings tab now bundles all settings together to make editing more
sensible. - MiniCorps that have removed all items from their shop will not be listed
in the shop list. - A help page has been added to describe how to make a MiniCorp shop.
- You can now change your primary email from your profile.
- Pending orders in the MiniCorp revenue tab are now marked more clearly.
- Various bugs fixed: use of beta code in registration form, use of default
profile pic, better email address checks. Also, our previous release fixed
issues with IE, for those who might still be wondering about that.
Thank you to everyone who kept posting bug reports and feedback!

New “service pack” release: Band Candy
We have just released a new update to Scred, which fixes a few important issues:
- Support for Internet Explorer has been returned. Screding should now work with it.
- Listing of pools has been fixed for Opera and IE.
- Cancellation of Direct Screds now works.
- Some errors in the calendar selection have been fixed.
Additionally emails are now sent for new pool transactions to people involved with them. This helps to keep people informed when new transactions for them take place.
Thank you for all your feedback! Keep it coming.
