Ok people...
Is there anyone who knows what the HELL is ''GOLDTICKETS'' ??
And what the hell can I do with it ?

Because I asked Counterparty and they don't even know it !!!!!!!!!

I believe it's tickets to go to SWARM events and/or VIP. You should message the guys at http://swarm.co, not Counterparty (since they aren't the ones issuing that asset). Counterparty only provides the technology for the platform on which assets are issued and traded.

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.

Regards,
ASIC-8Tile

IIRC it was issued by Swarm, and you don't need to do anything with it if you've already got your stake.

I think there's been some discussion about this before but is there any way to enable 2FA on counterwallet? I know that the passphrase itself is very secure but I worry about the potential implications if someone has malware etc on their computer.  

Well, it's all handled client-side so I imagine that would be a bit tricky. But there is multi-sig.

yes MS, but someone would need to open up a wallet service, and then of course they would need a revenue stream to pay for that infrastructure.

how many counterwallets are there now according to the the stats? 5000?  I know i have created minimum 10 myself...

womp womp



How would this work in practice? Would the wallet service sign the other multi sig transaction?

you have 1 key

the wallet service has 1 key

there is a key that can only be accessed via 2FA that is hosted by the wallet service (or some kind of service/cloud), perhaps the msg containing the 2FA code needs to be signed by your privkey...

so if you lose your device, the wallet service and you can still access the funds in the wallet using your privkey and the wallet service privkey

i think this is what Thomas/Electrum have been working on (but without the wallet service piece), not sure how advanced it is

A difference which makes a difference
Hello,

I am new to counterparty and just started getting into it.
First things first. Is there an actual client I can easily run on my own machine instead of using this web wallet thingy? I don't feel comfortable with this web based thingy.

The desktop wallet is being developed. We'll keep you all posted on the progress

Hey, I still haven't gotten into XCP since this has been missing last time I was looking for it. Are there any new regarding this?

"Moving forward, one of our priorities will be the development of a desktop wallet. The first version is expected to be released this month, with the application framework and basic features already developed. You can monitor the development progress on GitHub in our counterparty-gui repository. As always, we’ll keep you updated on all major milestones."

Hi!

I can review the Russian translation of Counterwallet. I've just requested to join the Russian language translation of the Counterwallet project as Sunlight.

I have been watching this project for quite a while and I see that it has great potential!

The recent Bitstamp catastrophy inspired me to write about how a decentralized exchange could decentralize the infrastructure that supports the Bitcoin economy.

There is an entrepreneurial opportunity in this whole process too namely in becoming a gateway for such an exchange.

Here is the article I wrote: http://consensus-analytics.com/bitstamp-breach-next-big-platform/

Similar but i prefer Slack
Check the SuperNET slack group there are 400 people +5000 message everyday they're moving very fast, new devs, supporter and people join the mouvement

No Slack group?

I was thinking that recently too. I started using slack to keep up with another project and it is a great way to keep up to date and engage with the devs. @ devs I think you should strongly consider setting this up!

Similar to slack:

1. General - for general Counterparty chat:
https://gitter.im/CounterpartyXCP/General

2. Technical - for developers:
https://gitter.im/CounterpartyXCP/Technical

Counterparty Chief Scientist and Co-Founder
Have any additional devs been hired now that Robby and Evan are working full time on Medici?

Robby and Evan are still contributing to Counterparty. But yes, we recently hired another full-time developer.

Gavin Andresen has an interesting blogpost about repackaging (specific) transactions into a new alternative blockchain for some tests that he is carrying out - http://gavintech.blogspot.ie/2015/01/looking-before-scaling-up-leap.html. He is talking about it from a Bitcoin scalability perspective of course but I feel there is some benefit to looking at it from a Counterparty perspective. If it was deemed useful one could repackage all the Counterparty data into a dedicated Counterparty Blockchain. This would result in exclusive (no Bitcoin Blockchain) Counterparty Blockchain nodes.

Users could download Counterparty data from these exclusively Counterparty Nodes and even use SPV (Simple Payment Verification) with these nodes. If additional security was required of these exclusive nodes, Proof of Stake could be employed.

This way of looking at things considers The Counterparty Protocol not just as data embedded in the Bitcoin Blockchain, but as a raw unpackaged independent Blockchain embedded in the Bitcoin Blockchain. By packaging it correctly, native Blockchain features (like SPV for example) can be accessed by Counterparty users.

Is this idea viable or even good or am I missing something important (aside from the technical implementation!)?
