There is a bit of confusion in the air with regards to some of the recent quotes by the Overstock CEO and the various interpretations of them.  It's arguable that they do seem to be getting progressively vague and I can see why some might get the idea this is Byrne distancing himself, while others adopt the mindset it's business as usual in the background and recent price action is just an excuse to take advantage of a price dip based on skewed info. I'd expect the developers to be under some sort of NDA preventing them from saying too much beyond what's already said so I don't think you will be able to rely on full clarifications right now.

 It's a shame to see hot/cold snippets trickle down into the news then waves of buying or selling based simply on said snippets, although it's not as if you would expect market participants to not react to them. A binary yes or no, or no news at all would be preferable. However Let's not forget CounterParty has great value potential since far before Medici was ever announced, has continued to show great promise more than a year later with incredible unexpected additions like turing complete scripting language, multisig, to name just two. Hope that we don't stay in a cycle of ups and downs with everything revolving around the currently non-existant Medici

Just got some of these free to my NXT wallet. Apparently they are sending them out soon via Counterparty to any Bitcoin address with >50 XCP. Looks kind of interesting:

Interesting, although I almost wonder why they are bothering with counterparty distribution when it represents only 0.2%.

Is that all? Damn, I hadn't noticed that.

Anybody managed to run counterwallet on localhost? https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterwallet/

I run ubuntu 14.04.1

What are the dependencies?
Any step by step installation/configuration tutorial for this? Smiley

Thanks

I think you need to set up a federated node -  https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd_build/blob/master/docs/SettingUpAFederatedNode.rst

Why? the counterwallet.io is working by running a plain javascript on your browser.
I don't see what's the difference by running it from a localhost webserver

When I run CounterWallet in PC, will I have to download full Blockchain? I heard I have to and for clarification, I posted above but didn't get any response.

You don't have to run the full blockchain to use CounterWallet, CounterWallet is already connected to a CounterParty deamon that has synced a full copy of the blockchain.

Of course (unless you connect to an existing counterpartyd) if you want to download and configure your own version of CounterWallet and host that yourself or run locally you will have to run your own daemon, which will require you to download the full blockchain.

If you are running a local instance of Counterwallet on your PC, the short answer is yes.

Alternatively you can also just run counterpartyd cli (which also requires the full blockchain download)

Really appreciate if you could share it.

How safe is https://counterwallet.io?

Can somebody explain to me how is this working? How can we be sure that somebody is not putting a backdoor like form to steal our 12 words password upon login?


It's open-source, and everything is handled using javascript (on your computer). The actual login and transaction signing process isn't done on any server (in fact your passphrase is never sent to counterwallet.io), instead it all happens inside your browser: https://counterwallet.io/js/counterwallet-min.js?v=03f7c112aa43

If you are still worried, you could run Counterwallet, or counterpartyd (the command line client) on your own computer. CounterpartyGUI (graphical user interface for your local computer) is coming soon, see http://counterparty.io/news/counterparty-development-update-10/.

Does that mean that I can download the counterwallet.io and make a clone of it, and run it on localhost webserver?

I trust https://counterwallet.io but I can't trust it 24/7. You can never know if somebody's gonna be able at some point to inject some code into the javascript.

You can run your own CounterWallet instances. It should also be possible for a third party to run a service that verifies the  CW assets hashes on github and compares them to the ones being served up to you on CounterWallet to be sure nobody has inserted anything malicous within. (Or a browser extension that achieves the same thing) You could even package the relevant assets directly into a chrome app and be sure they are running locally. For larger amounts of XCP it's recommended to do cold-storage or watch only wallets. You can always check the balance with block-explorers without logging in.


Is there any archive with the counterparty.io web wallet? It's a paint to recreate all files one by one

Yes.

Also to address your point: I'd say its for hot wallets and convenience. If you are dealing with substantial amounts of funds, it's a better security practice to use counterpartyd and/or cold storage (same as with Bitcoin). You could also add watch-only addresses in Counterwallet.io and sign the transactions offline (that way your funds will remain where they are, even if you get hacked).

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a smart contract that mixes coins? I know there was recently a push for a raffle type script but a mixer would to me be a lot more beneficial for the liberty and freedom ideals.

Tricky question. But I'm guessing it should be possible.

Nice, thanks.

My understanding is that Counterwallet has a similar security profile to Electrum.

This same question was posted and answered recently -

Not sure if this any of these have been posted before, I had just noticed them browsing github

Auction platform that works with counterparty assets:

Smart Contracting As A Service platform (alpha stage):

Ruby gem for communicating with a Counterparty (Bitcoin / XCP) API server:

When you transfer a Counterparty Asset, you send a dust-amount of BTC as well.

Is it possible to transfer any amount (>= dust limit) of BTC in a Counterparty transaction?

For example, an electronics store sells a TV for 1 BTC. However, if you have a discount token, you'll get the TV for 0.9 BTC + 1 discount token. Can the 0.9 BTC + token be transferred in one transaction?

usually you apply the discount at the shopping cart stage, the price is then recalculated at checkout, could be done that way but it's a little cumbersome. (Especially if the user doesn't pay in the end) I think it is possible though. see: https://wiki.counterparty.io/w/Sendmany
Maybe there has been some newer developments on that front though or a more appropriate way

usually you apply the discount at the shopping cart stage, the price is then recalculated at checkout, could be done that way but it's a little cumbersome.

One way to implement a token-based discount is that whoever owns/holds a token gets the discount. Another way (that I had in mind) requires you to transfer it back to the store. In this case it is lot more convenient to transfer both BTC and Counterparty token in the same transaction.
theoritally it's fine to replace the antidust amount sent to the recipipient with any amount larger. However, it's not implemented in the current counterpartyd yet. Maybe later we can customize the amount of BTC we sent in xcp transactions, but I am not sure whether this is really useful.

It actually is implemented, both in the CLI and the API, at a per-transaction level:

Code:
--regular-dust-size REGULAR_DUST_SIZE
                        value for dust Pay‐to‐Pubkey‐Hash outputs, in BTC
--multisig-dust-size MULTISIG_DUST_SIZE
                        for dust OP_CHECKMULTISIG outputs, in BTC

It's useful if you're making a *lot* of (similar) transactions, and want to lower your costs as much as possible. The default fee and dust values are very generous, because they have to work well in all circumstances.

Thanks! I would need counterpartyd for it and it needs whole block chain. I saw that. I was asking if it was possible inside the counterwallet or any other light wallets to do it.
