 * The same happened to me! .-/ I am trying to install MyCred in a localhost, using
   XAMPP, and after some hours I discovered this information:
 * “Avoiding mcrypt is only half of the advice. The other half: NEVER do crypto 
   in PHP in the first place! It is a very sloppy and most likely insecure enterprise.
   If you think you need PHP-based crypto to do something, then be advised that 
   this fact is an alarming signal that something about your application design 
   is very wrong. PHP is neither the right tool nor the right environment for cryptography.”

 * I have a negotiation blog, and the transfer points funcionality is one of the
   most important to me!

 * Hello,
 * Mcrypt is deprecated for php7.1 above, Unable to activate the mycred plugin. 
   I suggest this to be a major bug and hence request you to please fix this issue.
