Two things that are not very clear:

1. The kickstarter is for an upcoming cloud version of Cryptic?

2. Parts are open source (Eclipse), but not intended for self-hosting?

Sorry about that, let me try to clear things up: Cryptic itself is a online file storage, so there is really only the cloud version of Cryptic (for now).

1. The kickstarter is to fund development and servers for the online file storage + web app.

2. Anything client side will be open sourced, and can be self-hosted. You could host the Cryptic site right now locally, and use a local version to interface with cryptic servers.

But the Cryptic site is always involved, right?

So the storage is always provided by you, and that is what the client pay for in GB increments?

Correct
