Hi there.

I am trying to use vennd and when i start it it fails. So I ran the configuartion tester and it says:

"

Code:
my_user@myserver:~$ groovy-2.3.6/bin/groovy vennd/ConfigurationTester.groovy
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
/home/my_user/vennd/ConfigurationTester.groovy: 42: unable to resolve class CounterpartyAPI
 @ line 42, column 27.
           counterpartyAPI = new CounterpartyAPI()
                             ^

/home/my_user/vennd/ConfigurationTester.groovy: 43: unable to resolve class BitcoinAPI
 @ line 43, column 22.
           bitcoinAPI = new BitcoinAPI()
                        ^

           def bitcoinTest = new BitcoinAPI()
                             ^

/home/my_user/vennd/ConfigurationTester.groovy: 126: unable to resolve class CounterpartyAPI
 @ line 126, column 32.
           def counterpartyTest = new CounterpartyAPI()
                                  ^

4 errors
"

I tried using 3 different versions of groovy but they all gave the same error.
I also checked the xcp and btc clients and connections, they all work fine as i have even issued a test asset with that wallet moments earlier.
I am using bitcoin and counterparty on testnet.

vennd is a key project for the counterparty ecosystem and so your help will be very appreciated.

Just a thought, anyone working on a prediction market about global events, stock prices, or anything like that?

I think this is worth doing, they've said they want to try to start adding quality coins rather than doing the voting thing and getting loads of just released crapcoins and scamcoins, so I think XCP would stand a very good chance of being added.

Just found this interesting foldingcoin for protein folding scientific research using Counterparty protocol.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/foldingcoin-new-coin-that-helps-science-and-medicine-682862



Yes, its a very interesting and worthy idea. To me, its these types of coins that should have value because their mining is actually accomplishing something (3D modeling of protein folding simulations)... along with the coins that have utility in and of themselves, like XCP, of course..

Maybe they can partner with some sort of field-related vendor. I would spend 10,000 folding coins to get a basic, personal genome analysis. That's a lot because I've been "folding" for about 2 weeks and I have 563 coins total.

Counterwallet is Compatible with electrum seeds, ...

Electrum's wordlist contains 2048 words and the other one is also not a simple subset -- while not even looking at how the keys are derived: this is unfortunally not the case.


I don't think I remember that being the case before. But just checked electrum

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/lib/wordlist/english.txt

Yes, you're right

I am holding my XCP forever. Vote XCP at btc38.com, one of Chinese biggest exchanges.

XCP is ranking top 2 currently, need 35 more votes.

+1, XCP/CNY trading pairs on btc38 would be great.


A major flaw is relying on their server software to generate the passwords in the first place and can't even generate your own passwords or truly control your own wallet as you mention in #2.

Do you mean this in the sense of "the server provides the code" or "the server generates the password for you"? I believe you can enter any combination out of 12 x 1626 words based on this wordlist: http://pastebin.com/9bZ1fvAU.

That's correct, not sure what this guy talking about. It's not a flaw and not reliant on server software, the mnemonics/password generation is handled client side. Counterwallet is Compatible with electrum seeds, of course you can pick your own from that list as you said. 12 word passphrase is better entropy than average user would input for sure.

I mean I know Vennd helped make the storj and swarm ipo virtually non technical and user friendly. But I still do not like trying to market Counterparty technology to someone who has no clue what a blockchain is like my mother in law.

For people who understand how the technology of XCP functions, it really markets itself... But it's better to give at least some attention to the general public, or someone else might.

The general public doesn't have much reason to use Counterparty right now, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future. The next step will be either investors, because some reasonable sized company (perhaps Overstock, perhaps something else) issues some kind of crypto-equity on the platform, or from gamblers because one of the betting feed operators starts advertising or gaining popularity some other way. I don't see the general public coming to use Counterparty because they like the technology, they'll come for a specific purpose.

Any objective reason for the increase in xcp price atm?

How is the Overstock deal going so far?

I'm guessing Overstock prefers to stay quiet about its specific deliberations, we'll have to wait and see.

Well, crypto exchange rates are not necessarily known for making sense... Maybe it's all the things we don't know about... But here goes:

Development is progressing rapidly everywhere! And many XCP projects are making progress.
http://storj.io/
http://swarmcorp.com/
http://getgems.org/
http://betxcp.com/

(remind me of some other ones in case I'm forgetting something)

Also, Counterparty has implemented multi-sig on testnet, and once it reaches the mainnet, it will be a valuable feature for Blockchain-based companies, DAOs, escrows and security conscious individuals. (A multi-signature address is an address that is associated with more than one ECDSA private key. The simplest type is an m-of-n address - it is associated with n private keys, and sending bitcoins from this address requires signatures from at least m keys. A multi-signature transaction is one that sends funds from a multi-signature address.)




Thanks for the heads up.

Looking forward to each of those projects!

CP is trying to bring Wall st to decentralized blockchain technology. AJ who doesn't even use E-Trade should not be lured into it. Of course I want it to be as simple and user friendly as humanly possible. But only to the point where people with a basic understanding of this new thing called crypto currencies will want to use.

I think eventually there will be plenty of Counterparty uses, where people don't even have to KNOW that they are using Counterparty in order for it to work. It's just a question of time, really.

You are really looking into the future then.
