Topic: [ANN][XCP] Counterparty - Pioneering Peer-to-Peer Finance - Official Thread - page 209. (Read 1276789 times)

I hear the moolah.io thing have bad reputations lately

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.

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.

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

This is great stuff.

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

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.

blockscan is getting better

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



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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the heads up.

Looking forward to each of those projects!

You are really looking into the future then.

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.

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.

Counterparty (XCP) gained +25.99% past week

Counterparty can't escrow Bitcoin. Nobody can. So your complaint about having to stay logged in while annoying yes, is not a fail as you imply. CP provided a "stock market" to Bitcoin. We all hope XCP will have the high market cap and liquidity as btc does one day. If it does then only using XCP and CP assets will work easily and problem free as you now expect it to.

You want Average Joe to use CP imo is a bad idea. Look at all the trouble you're having now? You are the AJ because you don't even know what you are doing. You have no basic understanding of the protocol you are using and complaining about. Most of your complaints are valid and have been expressed before. But some of your complaints show you do not understand what it is you're using. You didn't understand that CP lives on top of Bitcoin and therefore can not escrow your btc order match. You just expected it to go through like on Cryptsy. So imagine grandma running into CP or Bitcoin because we made it super super duper easy user friendly. So grandma doesn't have a clue what a private key is or how a blockchain works. She thinks its paypal and therefore can dispute a transaction if she made an error. Oh and she copied pasted her private key and left on a computer in the library.

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.

Apparently the devs are working on a way to "escrow" btc. I have no idea if it is a workaround or some magic solution but that will be great and long awaited.

So no winwallet planned ?
