Those buy orders in btc at counterwallet.io are really pissing me off.. none of them get executed, they just disappear, then if I don't want my order to hang on the sell order list for a week I need to cancel my order and try to sell it to the next order or what ever action I want while paying 3 times for all the fees in the process. Whats up with that?

which cost more, the fees associated with trying, or the opportunity costs of not trying?

What ?   Whats the point when they act as fake orders ?

Can anyone explain me where i find the XCP wallet? I bought some XCP on BTER and want to put it cold storage.
I only see github links but i cant compile.

https://counterwallet.io/

ok so this is a web wllet.

is that decentralized peer 2 peer or is this hosted? sorry for my mistakes but im not so good in tech

It's not hosted; the private keys are generated client-side.

we need a simple to install desktop version.   c annot beleive it's centralised on a website!

Your password never goes to the site. it stays on your machine and the wallet is opened through some hash trickery or something. Nobody ever has access to your private key, except you.


Not impressed. You'r still putting all your trust in that website to submit transactions correctly and fairly for you.  What ever happened to a wallet that you can run on your own machine?
It is a wallet run on your own machine. Just the programming language is JavaScript and the browser is the interpreter. A program written in Other language will not be any safer. That said, an independent wallet is still a good plus. Maybe based on WebKit so less extra work to do.

I would prefer a proper wallet on my PC. I ran counterpartyd, but have switched to counterwallet as its so much easier.

A simple GUI for counterpartyd will do.
Yes, that definitely helps. However, people still need to download bitcoind and the whole blockchain, re-index. That's almost 2 complete days.

A lot will have the whole Bitcoin blockchain. Reindexing takes time though.

The point was that the option should be available, not that it is going to be popular.

Ben Lawsky just said Bitlicense is not intended to, and will not regulate financial software providers, or platform developers. My guess is he is referring to projects similar to Counterparty.

Your requirements are clear, but in EU we usually add on what we offer. Is it not so in US?

The process of downloading this Blockchain torrent - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-blockchain-data-torrent-145386 - could be included in the Counterparty package.

Counterwallet targeted instructions can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/YWKaV -- in short: submit your wallet's address, copy the unsigned hex of the raw transaction and use "address actions" - "sign transaction" within CW.


It looks like not only Luke is pushing forward to 80 byte OP_RETURN, but jgarzik as well: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/5075

Makes me sort of wonder about the underlying motivation and what has changed since the "general consensus" resulted in the reduced length of 40 byte. And this makes me especially wonder, if there are business interests involved that some of the participants of the discussion might be associated with.

Thanks l lot, DexX7 and PhantomPhreak. If this can be put into counterwallet, then we can both help the users and the blockchain. Smiley

Agreed. Will be interesting to see what it is.

thanks DexX7.. I was wondering the same !
It just makes sense. People can and will put arbitrary data into the block chain by paying fees. The only sensible stance is to give people who wish to do so a way that causes the least harm to network resources (namely the utxo). I think even a bigger OP_RETURN data size has been suggested to be needed to make the economics clearly favor OP_RETURN for those cases.

I would be interested to hear from mining pools just how valuable  utxo real estate is. I mean, could they deal with 10 or 100x as many outputs in there before slowing things down or needing more ram?
