If possible, it would be good to get a word from the devs in re:Medici.

A difference which makes a difference
Developers are making great progress as usual: Counterparty Development Update #10: New Counterwallet Release, Desktop Wallet Development & More http://counterparty.io/news/counterparty-development-update-10/

I'm waiting for counterparty-GUI. Do you know when it will release? Approx. time? Smiley

Bumping the post:

Is there a possible way to sent an asset with custom BTC fee?

   ~~MZ~~

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.

otherwise it will look very much like CP is being abandoned with an incomplete dev team.

While I agree with your sentiment that this matter should be cleared up, I wouldn't say the team is 'incomplete' by any means. XCP has two full-time devs, and they just hired another. (And are still hiring). And as it was mentioned many pages previously, the devs that are working on Medici are still very much active on XCP (and the topic of their Overstock work is still directly using the XCP platform).

Note, it is necessary here to distinguish between Counterparty (protocol/platform) and XCP (the token).  Medici is being built on Counterparty (protocol/platform) and some aspects of it will use XCP (token).  That is all we really know.

Of course it's 1-4 AM in the US when everyone is asleep and cannot respond.

Very clever.

Yes, Might expect more downwards price-movement when the news trickles
On that note, If anyone would like to sell XCP in batches, without hitting exchanges, you're welcome to PM for a quick sale.


what size batches are we talking about, can you handle 5000+?

No, Sent you PM

Anybody notice a XCP protocol based coin: Tilecoin?

they claimed they will complete micropayment and Internet of things applications and Dapp Project.

One last positive note.
We have been in contact with https://thingful.net/ to test the micropayments enablement for data acquisitions.

My observation tells me, he is distancing himself ever-so slightly for some reason, and/or hedging his position with Counterparty, somewhat. His facial expressions when he says "other...."etc, seems to express slight pain. 
Like i said, just an observation.

Looks to me like someone has convinced him that a different approach, not using CounterParty is better, but that he's still not comfortable with going back on his original plans or perhaps doesn't quite trust the new alternative as much as he trusted the CounterParty solution.

What I'd like to know though is what the CounterParty devs are going to do if Medici does use an alternative?

Didn't a couple of the main devs take a job working for Medici, whilst promising everyone that they were still working on Counterparty because the two will work together? I remember there was a bit of a panic from some people until they managed to convince everyone that they weren't really leaving. These guys need to leave Medici immediately if it becomes clear that Patrick isn't using CP, because otherwise it will look very much like CP is being abandoned with an incomplete dev team.

People that know how business is done won't believe that a CEO agrees to lose even a small part of the control they have.

Around (00:30:00) he hints that he is in talks with other parties (not XCP) where Medici  will be built. My guess is it' probably ethereum

Counterparty will have 100% compatibility with all Ethereum features, and its secured by the Bitcoin network. What would be the motivator to switch to Ethereum?

I don't know, but he clearly hints it's not likely to be XCP. Watch the video. Around  (00:30:00)

Hi devs, there are rumors that Medici will not (anymore) be built on Counterparty and Overstock is "talking" to some other parties!?
Whats the deal here? :\

It's a very exaggerated reddit title.

Oh he looks so confident about XCP  Grin

Watched that vid 2 days ago, nice to see a few NXT regulars catch sight of it and take the initiative to share with the crypto community. Could you point out the section where Patrick Byrne let's it slip that Medici will not be built on CounterParty after all?

Just looks like someone found a slick way to make 30-40% profit when price bounces tomorrow.
