Counterparty Update, Mar 6: Desktop Wallet Release Preparation, New Counterparty Blockchain Explorer, Developer Specification & More: http://counterparty.io/news/counterparty-update-mar-6/

Well ... this is how the GUI looks like now:

It definitely needs to get more sexy (visually) and we really need Trezor support.
Me for example have loads of XCP loaded on my trezor and no idea how to get them off there.


Are you devs making next some smart contract settings to this wallet? What is real situation now with smart contracts? Not so bright, right? Let community know what there are biggest problems and questions now and what is your plans to solve it?  

Before everyone talk sidechains are not so secure than Counterparty. Now situation are that you need some sidechain make your system working? If yes what that actually mean? Can you explain for non tech holders what are going now Smiley Thank you.

It would be nice to get a working http://redeem.bitwatch.co/ or else get Counterwallet to work properly with that. Because it doesn't work right now, and its irritating and makes trading on Counterwallet rather unaffordable/impractical compared to your competitors.

Hey there,

I maintain redeem.bitwatch.co. Last I checked, which was some time ago though, it worked with Counter Wallet. Which problem did you face?

It may be a problem on my end. I'll have to update my Java or browser and get back to you. In any case, thanks for contacting me.

this looks like a great project, but how can it be monatized.

How can what be monetized? You can create businesses that use "pure Bitcoin" features of Counterparty (assets, trading, broadcasts) or more advanced XCP-enabled features (smart contracts, betting, distributions). How you 'monetize' them is entirely up to you. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

Counterparty as a project itself is 100% open-source and non-profit, like Bitcoin. You cannot 'monetize' Bitcoin, but you can create projects and exchanges which profit from using it. Does that make sense?

Perhaps Stanley_Cold was asking more specifically about how XCP, the currency, not Counterparty, the protocol, has value.

Keep selling guys, there's always someone with stronger hands at the other side.

or a much stupider hand, you know, it could turn out one way or the other.

if XCP was a sure thing, everybody and their mama would have some by now.

If there's a sustained BTC bull market, the good altcoins will likely get a pump, XCP included. Right now money is coming out of alts, into BTC.

Ain't no party like a Counterparty!
Hey Deliciousowl are you going to be in the elections? I'd vote for you since you seem to be one of the few members on this forum I've watched over time (aside from the actual devs) with the most logical support and understanding of the protocol.

I keep 40 xcp tucked away and I fully expect it to be worth significant value within the next few years because I (rather than just looking at short term speculation) believe in the actual potential value of Counterparty as a platform that will be as impactful as tcp/ip one day right alongside of the bitcoin protocol itself.

If you want me vote when the time comes let me know Wink

Just like everyone and their mama had Bitcoins a year after it was released? What about Apple computer in 1977?  Google in 1999?

I think you may be just a little bit quick on the draw here. And unfortunately appeal to popularity has never proved anything before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum

“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” — Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC), maker of big business mainframe computers, arguing against the PC in 1977.

 “Lee DeForest has said in many newspapers and over his signature that it would be possible to transmit the human voice across the Atlantic before many years. Based on these absurd and deliberately misleading statements, the misguided public … has been persuaded to purchase stock in his company …” — a U.S. District Attorney, prosecuting American inventor Lee DeForest for selling stock fraudulently through the mail for his Radio Telephone Company in 1913.

“There is practically no chance communications space satellites will be used to provide better telephone, telegraph, television, or radio service inside the United States.” — T. Craven, FCC Commissioner, in 1961

“There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.” — Albert Einstein, 1932

“The Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys.” — Sir William Preece, Chief Engineer, British Post Office, 1878.

“The world potential market for copying machines is 5000 at most.” — IBM, to the eventual founders of Xerox, saying the photocopier had no market large enough to justify production, 1959.

There are plenty of psychological barriers to be overcome, even for Bitcoin itself! We are inside a developing microcosm right here. Sit back and enjoy the show.

The Medici thing did help in pumping the XCP price a lot and I personally benefited from that pump. However, to be honest the final outcome seems not so good and the progress of counterparty itself was significantly slowed down by the digress of its two core devs. Hopefully, the return of core devs could help counterparty to secure its advantage of being the first usable BTC based 2.0 platform.

Que?

The final outcome is that Medici is still using XCP, and that new (!) devs were hired for Counterparty as soon as Overstock started Medici.

That Medici is also adding other platforms as well as XCP later somehow a negative thing? So increasing liquidity and connecting platforms with Counterparty is somehow the end of the world and a reason to sell? I was expecting it to pump the price even further, but after all, the markets are irrational!

If I told you that Example Exchange A is adding XCP to be tradeable with something else, like XCP or litecoin, would everyone also dump and cry?

Medici is using XCP primarily, adding support for other platforms, and the Counterparty dev team is coding and growing. That people are selling at the burn price makes me laugh, reminds me of Ronald Wayne, who sold 10% of Apple for $800... Keep selling guys, there's always someone with stronger hands at the other side.

P.S. If I had more BTC to spend at the moment, I'd join the bandwagon of being uncomfortable about the Medici situation too and post nervously... Because you gotta remember, crypto is a free for all... If someone convinces you to buy high and sell low, well. They win. Wink

On Reddit I argued that the XCP price decline is nothing to worry about.
http://www.reddit.com/r/counterparty_xcp/comments/2xjm4w/a_low_xcp_price_is_not_that_bad/

Comments / feedback are welcome.

I've been buying more  Smiley Crazy some people are willing to sell below 0.004, probably many of them got in during the burn but BTC was also $500-600 back then. At these low price levels, the USD value of one XCP is close to what it was during the burn.
