You can trade counterparty using freewallet.io wallet that has a built in exchange DEX which is under development and you can contribute to it by buying fullaccess tokens through freewallet, it should cost 20$ per token but sometimes it goes up to 30$.

Be careful as there are other similar wallets with this name, check what you download from github, the site is freewallet.io

So there is no ability to buy XCP token now?
I was going to buy some but it seems it is impossible now while Poloniex and bittrex delisted.. and this Tux echange (even if it not going to be closed soon ) I won't rather trust them..
Very bad I had high hopes in counterparty

I have thought about those..

Why couldn't a person write a TX to send 1btc with a decent fee to 1xxx addy AND those XCP the 1xxx addy all in 1 TX, like multiple inputs used?
Then you would not have to put the miner fee onto the XCP addy but sweep them in a larger TX that got its fee from a different input..  

You know where to get them for free

Thinking about buying some XCP..

Anyone wanna dump?

+1. The Trex and Poloniex news was unfortunate--  likely high spam on bitcoin network causing temporarily sustained high withdrawal fees coupled with the fact many users of Bittrex and Poloniex left end of 2017/2018 to binance when it launched and started becoming THE ICO factory.  there was a crypto-winter in general.. so many coins (including xcp) had much lowered volume compared to months earlier,  especially with no arbitrage e.g binance to poloniex. Poloniex and Bittrex They just cut off the coins that were costing a little more to keep around the same time e.g circle (poloniex owner) was laying off staff. Cost cutting measure for profitability.

Ironically with Binance kicking US traders out and likely only letting them trade "whitelisted" aka fair launch/incumbent coins on the new exchange with increased restrictions and Bittrexx disabling another 70 coins (eth ICO's) for US traders within next week plus crypto winter seemingly over-- US exchanges will probably get a bit more popular again, and some of that volume would of likely came back to fairly launched non ICO projects like XCP, LTC, etc that are much safer from regulatory perspective with recent crackdowns.  Also BTC fees are getting lower again, segwit can reduce this by another 40%  But hey.  It's not the end of the world.



Absolutely,

First problem that's immediately addressable relates to exchanges: Even though most recognize Counterparty is a good concept, (especially OG's) Bizarrely XCP doesn't have good presence on exchanges. Probably we're not doing very good job at speaking to exchanges. Within just over 1 year projects like RVN went from nothing to on 40+ exchanges. All of it community effort. (since there is no "CEO") And they're not the only one. So it's possible to work on this and there is a thread started on the forums on aiming to address this very isue.

Tokens, asset projects built on bitcoin, the strongest, most secure, most liquid chain is great idea. Dex's too. It is 2019 and people are just really getting into the swing of this idea. Counterparty was very early with all these ideas, 5 years earlier--it gave the first implementation of a DEX and token system and is still one of the few systems that has any kind of working atomic swap  BTC on mainchain.

It is WAY under the radar. Now is the time for the community to rally around counterparty and help it grow.

I would suggest to any interested followers to check on the forum. This BTT thread is huge and XCP is an OG project but input is slow here. There's more activity there.

Plus for condensed updates there's the news section on the counterparty site- every month, almost since launch (5 years!!) a newsletter comes out with updates)- there's also the telegram group(s) of which there are 3, plus ancillary projects groups built on counterparty.

Here's what's happening recently:

• Counterparty just passed the 1M send mark, almost 1.5 Million on-chain transactions.
• Two new CIP proposals have been fully funded and are in development (CIP 20 drastically improves the flow of BTC usability on the DEX, CIP 21 improves the segwit adoption period which lowers fees considerably)
• After a long break, The rebooted 2019 counterparty foundation election has just started. https://counterpartytalk.org/t/ann-start-of-the-counterparty-foundation-2019-election-nomination-period-jun-10th-july-1st/5535/8
• Efforts are underway as a community to begin outreach to exchanges (this was a big sticking point in the past)
• Hazama sidechain has been announced by some core counterparty contributors (the mechanism behind it has been patented) Hazama will enable ERC20 AND XCP assets (including XCP itself) to move back and forth between a cheap, fast sidechain AND operate the existing DEX on top of this faster design. It also lays the groundwork for LN swaps. In terms of interoperability, this is HUGE imo, for counterparty and ethereum assets to move on a bitcoin like design. Only Blockstream so far and RSK have delivered any kind of sidechain and they don't support the same kind of asset pegs that Hazama aims to.
• Discussions on other bridges (e.g bridge to swap XCP or XCP assets back and forth to Binance chain)

Plenty of stuff going on..

There's signs of life in there.

Now the TUX exchange is going to be closed - they sent am email to users to withdraw their coins ASAP.

It starts to look strange - XCP lost two big exchanges in just about a month, now after one more month it is going to lose the last normal smaller exchange. It almost looks like somebody wants to purge the XCP fr. The last exchange listed on CMC is Zaif, trading it against Japanese Yen only. If things go the same route, Zaif is probably going to be either hacked or closed (or maybe they choose to delist XCP just to be safe)

Anyone listened about any initiatives on recovering this project? Its hard to believe a crypto project of this scale could be forgotten that easily. Though... why not, people like trendy things, hi-tech and crypto have a lot common with fashion industry. I suppose the herd already moved on. It looks like this project didn't have the biggest asset in crypto - the real community. Or maybe it does exist somewhere - anyone knows a less deserted XCP place than this thread?

Every Counterparty transfer requires to pay BTC fee (as Counterparty is 2nd layer on btc network) and now BTC fees have increased significantly, so it  is unfortunately logical (and if we take on mind lowered XCP value..)

Any link for working wallet for windows?
Thank you.

You are right it became only useless and as someone mentioned one post above no one really thought it will reach to this level so quickly. This thing remind us anything which has no proper strong proper use case eventually will reach to this kind of fate. Counterparty will big name which saw huge rise for years and based on its status future doesn't look very bright to be honest. Whether someone like or not this reality.

Any news and plan for the future? Or the same as Heat Witz only the DEX with no Volumen and no interesting? I hope no!

Its not dead. It technically won't die until bitcoin is dead, because it is also bitcoin.

What would be a real bummer is if the counterwallet servers went down.

I followed this thread since near its very beginning, and people were always pretty pissed off here.

And for good reason. Since November 2014, its price in terms of bitcoin has pretty much only gone down, especially starting January 2018. Think... having to destroy bitcoins in order to get XCP... The idea seems ludicrous now.

Unlike most other coins, it hasn't started to come back up, and its mainly due to the fact that its just a lot easier and cheaper to create and move tokens on different networks these days.

Back in the day, Counterparty was the first of its kind. I thought it was going to be a smash, but outside of the whole "Rare Pepes" thing, it just never really caught on. Ever since Ethereum has been in the game, people go elsewhere to create and trade tokens.

Having to place an order on the bitcoin blockchain for an XCP token is what I think was its least attractive part.

It was a brilliant idea, but just never found its place in terms of viable use cases. In any case it will never die so long as you can trade XCP on its own DEX.

Honestly, I didnt expect that coins which are in space since 2013/14 could die too. Well, I was wrong. Seeing the death of XCP, NMC, Burst&Co as painful learning lecture

Polo asks for 16 xcp for withdrawal. wtf?

What a bad news,
I would like to write about necessary changes in Counterparty, but it seems it is too late and this coins is almost  dead.
We need a way to make maintaining XCP node easier, we need a light client, too.. We need a way to make xcp transactions cheaper etc..
I am afraid none of the above is likely to be done

You have TUX exchange.
They luv pepe$.

The future history of 2017/18 tokens.
tldr;

just see the story (market chart) of OMNI/XCP to see the future of 99.999% of the tokens and the EOS/TRiX/BNB they ride on.


How's

financed?

where are some developers ?
only chat of backholders...
it is gone

Dex.

That's no surprise. The volume of Counterparty is consistently low and the fees incurred by the exchanges are far from covering the costs of maintaining network integration. Unfortunately there has not been a real development at Counterparty for a long time and it does start to lead a shadowy existence. I see no other way than try to get listed on small  exchanges.
