A difference which makes a difference
Hi all, the Counterparty Foundation site is now live at http://counterpartyfoundation.org. More on that in our latest announcement: http://counterparty.io/news/launching-counterparty-foundation-and-announcing-board-of-directors/

The Counterparty Foundation website looks great. This is likely to be a very useful organization. Congratulations to Adam with the new Chief Scientist designation.

I've put up a thread to talk about forking the Mastercoin Project:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9697453

The reason I mention it is that some of the ideas have included porting Mastercoin over to Counterparty, or finding a way to port Maidsafe tokens over to counterparty. For what Mastercoiners are left, we are tired of how the project is being handled and want change. We're not looking for a flame war those of us who are left know well enough what a mistake it was to turn down counterparty at the start and we aren't happy about it. We're looking for input on what to do next.

We'd be glad to work with Maidsafe and Mastercoin to port Maidsafe over to Counterparty. (It wouldn't be at all hard to do. Notably, the two exchanges which handle MAID already also support Counterparty.)

Knowing next to nothing about Mastercoin (other than having lost some 0.X BTC buying high and selling at a 99% loss, and still owning some Maidsafecoin), how difficult would it be to add some kind of simple Mastercoin support to Counterwallet?  Kind of a "sweep Mastercoin assets to Counterparty assets" deal.  Assuming that the Mastercoin API's are halfway reasonable, it should be an easy port.

Following on that thought, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to simply fork every Mastercoin asset into an identical Counterparty asset, right?  The Bitcoin addresses and private keys would all be the same.  Simply take a "snapshot" of all Mastercoin assets (excluding, of course, MSC tokens themselves) and clone them into Counterparty, and let the market decide which fork it chooses to honor.

While that may be a stretch and result in a persistent and unresolved fork, I just thought of another option: create a Counterparty asset for Voting on Mastercoin assets.  E.g. MAIDSAFE_XCP_VOTE which is 1:1 distributed to all owners of Maidsafecoin.  They can import their private keys into Counterwallet for the vote.  If enough Maidsafe holders vote to switch to Counterparty... voila.  Of course, this would require significant publicity efforts to get enough people to vote.

How about Trezor support?

Sorry, realized this is an update of counterpartyd, not counterparty wallet.

Announcement (cross-post): v9.47.0 is out. See the CHANGELOG for details.

Most important changes: mainnet multisig support and numeric asset names (both will go live with block 333500).

https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

  • multi‐signature address support (protocol change: 333500)
  • numeric asset names (protocol change: 333500)
  • kickstart functionality
  • better process‐locking
  • improvements to documentation
  • graceful shutdown of processes
  • faster server startup
  • support for jmcorgan Bitcoin Core fork for block explorer
  • change first testnet block to 281000
  • make protocol changes always retroactive on testnet

Cool

Note: The numeric assets are FREE to create. (Only a BTC transaction fee is required.)

http://www.bitcoin2comparator.org/

It looks like that website needs to be updated. It is maintained by the Colored Coin guys. There are few incorrect Counterparty entries.

For example, the purpose of the comparison is between the asset related features of all 3 technologies.

Uses no intermediate currency: Counterparty doesn't use XCP for asset issuance
Protocol Specification Document: Yes, we have one. See here - https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/Counterparty
Send to multisig address: *Depends on what they mean here* can we send Counterparty assets to a Bitcoin address starting with '3'. I think so. And we have Multisig support now too.

Fell free to spot anything else I missed. It'd be nice to contact them once with a comprehensive list of updates to their list.


Is there any aspect of Colored Coins tech that could be incorporated into the Counterparty Protocol that would be of benefit? I know they are quite different technologies but since Counterparty is Bitcoin-Blockchain-aware it should be able to see the colored satoshis.

Do you think you could contribute over in the thread? I think people would like very much to hear from a counterparty developer about what is possible.

I can't speak at all as to what should happen with Mastercoin. On the other hand, if projects with Mastercoin tokens (e.g. MAID and XAP) want to freeze their balances and re-create them on Counterparty, we can help walk them through that process.

Okay, good to know. Thanks!

this (maidsafecoin) is basically a non-issue since safecoin test coins are implemented starting in testnet 3 which happens in very early 2015

Do you think you could elaborate a bit?

MaidSafeCoins are a proxy token for Safecoin. MaidSafeCoin holdings just represents how many Safecoins a user gets. There is no real need to migrate MaidSafeCoins to the Counterparty Protocol with the impending launch of the MaidSafe Network and the associated headaches. Don't get me wrong, it is great that it technically can be done. But it should just be left to run it's course.

Summed up well here - http://blog.maidsafe.net/2014/10/09/fraudulent-maidsafecoins/

A relevant quote:

Quote
“The mastercoins, we still have. The bitcoins are what we’re living off,” said Nick Lambert (of MaidSafe), concluding: “We’re pretty hopeful that as their protocols and tools are rolled out to others, that it will start to become a more liquid layer and the price of mastercoin will increase to the level that it was at during our crowdsale. It’s been a currency without a huge amount of function until this point.”

Uber apparently has a $40 billion valuation. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/investors-unfazed-by-uber-missteps-153329387.html

Would be pretty cool if Counterparty could develop some relationships with co.'s beyond the bitcoin economy, like uber and lyft. One would think the asset function could maybe be a good way to develop loyalty to individual drivers and companies.

Ubercoin as a Counterparty asset anyone?
