In short, there wasn't any technical problem, but the way it was handled was clunky and required a lot of steps (not surprisingly since everybody voting would have had to register a BTC address from which they were voting), and apparently the guy who decided to go with the plan didn't consult with everybody first and some folks got a little pissy about some of the implementation details such as whose name was listed first in the voting.... ah, politics.  Furthermore, some people had valid concerns about the public's ability to see the results in real-time, which could discourage others from voting or otherwise affect the outcome.

The Election result are out at https://blog.bitcoinfoundation.org/election-results/

The irony here is that the "END" results were actually similar to the "rebooted" Blockchain Vote that was held earlier. Going by the results at https://blockscan.com/votecampaign/btcfoundation

Olivier Janssens - 63 Yes Votes

Jim Harper - 59 Yes Votes

Michael Perklin - 37 Yes Votes

Bruce Fenton - 45 Yes

Which basically means both Olivier Janssens and Jim Harper would have made the cut either way, with the first and second most number of votes.

On Reddit I argued that the XCP price decline is nothing to worry about.

Literally 0 of the problems with the election were caused by Counterparty, why would that affect the price?! I don't think I'll ever understand the markets...

Where's this "news" we've been talking about for months? That's probably the reason for the dump. I feel like dumping myself.


As far as my memory can prevail, Adam has been a man of his word. Even if Counterwallet is far from optimally operational, I believe that some day they will get there.

That's why I'm not dumping.

Does this have to do with today's price crash? About 12-14%.

Somebody had to say something.

More than 10,000 assets have been created to date. It's apparent that the wast majority of these have been taken by squatters.

I won't discuss whether squatting is good or bad, but it is a reality we have to deal with. Thankfully the DEX can at least make it convenient to buy and sell asset ownerships.

The owner of an asset should be able to place an offer for his asset, and anyone should be able to place a bid for any asset. If this were possible in Counterwallet I think we'd seen a boost in activity.

Imagine the attention prime assets such as GOLD or SILVER might get. Or every now and then someone would place a high bid on their own name, e.g. 100 XCP for PETER.

And whereas a DEX for regular trading seems to lose to centralized exchanges, I believe the DEX is ideal for buying and selling asset ownerships.

I know that you guys have implemented Ethereum but have you considered implementing AT (http://ciyam.org/at) which is actually running *live* already (on the Burst blockchain).

The world's first "decentralised lottery" and "crowdfunding app" has been achieved with this tech in the last couple of months.

That's OK, I have faith you guys will get your s--- together pretty soon. I would buy even more but the price keeps sinking every time that happens.

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.

Hello Counterparty Community, I recently had an epiphany (PICISI) about a crowdfunding cooperative involving 10 CC communities that could actually rival Kickstarter and Indiegogo ... well that truly idea died quickly when I realized that everyone loved the idea but only a hand full was willing to do the work.   Anyway, since PICISI impossible to do with only a few people, I'm hoping to do a massively scaled down version of PICISI so that we could get our feet wet in the crowdfunding space while building the brand, upgrading the site, and maturing relationships so that in 6 mos, when we reintroduce PICISI, it will be the site it was initially designed to be.  

At this point I want to raise funds to create the site, when I viewed this video: http://youtu.be/fr0sHxUQ-FQ?t=4m30s (from 4:30 to 5:52) it described how someone could raise funds using your resources.  I have some questions: how can we set the opening price?  how can we set a minimum value for the token?  can we have a private market where we only sell to those we select?  

The tokens will have actual value since they could be used to buy sponsorship opportunities at the site.

Are we able to reserve a token now for launch 6 months in the future?  Can we add more tokens (dilution) at a later date?  

Thanks for your help in this regard


Wow you asked the perfect question for an article which by coincidence just came out about 6 days ago with all the answers you need Wink

The share distributor looks like a cool tool. Will test it out later.

Step 5. Distributing your tokens.

Now you have these sweet new tokens, you need a way to distribute them. One way is to send out tokens individually using Counterwallet, of course. If you're doing a mass distribution, you can can access the share distributor courtesy of the developers at Let's Talk Bitcoin!This tool lets you upload a CSV sheet with Counterparty addresses and the amount of your token you wish to distribute to each address and then does the job for you.

Unfortunately, the share distributor does not work on Testnet, so you will have to send out your testnet coins to other people on Testnet in the traditional way.

To access the share distributor, visit the dashboard section of your LTB account and click the “Share Distributor” option on in the lefthand menu under LTBcoin.

Instead of proclamations and simple bloviation on the future of the technology, in Counterparty fashion, we're operationally positioning things so that the base technology achieves (hopefully) indefinite sustainability...

This is exactly why I love you guys, this is why I pace myself with my collection of xcp and merely check in with your twitter page and this forum once a week or even once a month because I know that rather than talk about what you will do you guys always just DO things first and let the world talk about it. I can't wait to see what you all do next Wink

 Cry I guess it didn't work for some reason, as they are going to another platform (off-blockchain) for the voting......

This further proves that Counterparty has real world use cases. And because everything is done via the Blockchain these transactions can be transparently tracked and monitored
