I have been required to re-enter this password twice. It can only be done by clicking the mouse on the right letters for each word, twelve fucking times, which takes like 3 fucking minutes. I understand this is probably for protection against key logger malware, thus I am understanding of the inconvenience, but good luck explaining that to the worlds dumbest person. Surely there must be a way to avoid this, but unless you hit them dead in the face 3-4 times, the worlds dumbest person is not going to get it. so, how do I avoid this?

What browser and OS are you using?  In Safari on OSX, it is no problem for me to type in my password with the keyboard, or to simply copy and paste it in.

As for your other gripes: Buying Counterparty assets with BTC is still a pain in the ass.  It is recommended that you buy some XCP first (native Counterparty token), probably via a 3rd party exchange such as Bter.com.  Then use XCP to buy the asset instead of BTC.  This will go through much faster, and doesn't require you to stay logged in.  BTC trading is still kind of screwed up, but the devs are working on a way to fix it.  The difference is basically that BTC doesn't natively support escrow.  XCP and all other Counterparty assets do.

Ok now this is really pissing me off




I made my order for .0477 btc worth of shitcoin and somehow some of the btc disappeared and I can't buy the shitcoin...WTF

I am being notified that I have only .041 btc. So I tried to place an order for less of the shitcoin and figured I would deal with the missing btc later. Now I can't even do that, because I can't cancel my original order.

I don't mean to be a dick, but WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT and how can you possibly expect stupid people to adopt this when your GUI or more complicated/annoying than ClI of other currencies?

Alright, I have a bone to pick with you guys, and I am not an unreasonable person.

I have no experience with counterparty, but i should make you all away that I am an early adopter of monero, which means I have taken the time to deal with pure CLI currencies, and also that I am a miner, 21 years old, with no previous experience. Despite how challenging this all was, I realize I should invest in decentralized currencies for my own good, no matter how frustrating it may be. Yes, I fell victim to illusions of grandeur about mining like everyone does but luckily I mined 50,000 bc on february 24th which gave me a stupid amount of seed capital to work with, then I caught the DRK train, and the XMR train, so I made out reasonably well.

I am currently gambling on a shitcoin called skull coin, which is a counterparty asset. I don't know a damn thing about counterparty, but I am openminded.

Let me pretend I am the worlds stupidest person, which is exactly what we are trying to appeal to, in other words, the "masses"...

I got my 12 word password and wrote it down. due to the counterparty protocol logging me out against my will, I have been required to re-enter this password twice. It can only be done by clicking the mouse on the right letters for each word, twelve fucking times, which takes like 3 fucking minutes. I understand this is probably for protection against key logger malware, thus I am understanding of the inconvenience, but good luck explaining that to the worlds dumbest person. Surely there must be a way to avoid this, but unless you hit them dead in the face 3-4 times, the worlds dumbest person is not going to get it. so, how do I avoid this?

Next: Holy fuck this is annoying...counterparty software require me to stay logged in for x amount of time, but then I automatically get logged out. This is likely the fault of my browser of security features, but good luck explaining hat o the worlds dumbed person.

NOW: I purchased x amount of skull coin for x amount of btc. All of a sudden, I find out the purchase did not go through, whatever the fuck that means, because I was automatically got fucked out of my counterparty wallet and had to log back in, but now some btc is missing. I started with .047, now my wallet is reporting .041 and I have no other assets to account of it...

I understand there is surely a logical explanation for this, and surely my funds did not just disappear, and surely they will be retrieved. But how do you guys expect the worlds dumbest person to want to work with this? I do not mean to fud, I am jus pissed that I am having to deal with a bunch of stupid shit (compared to a standard qt wallet or CLI cryponote wallet) and I am not by any means crypto illiterate. Can someone explain to me wtf is going on here, and how I can buy this stupid shitcoin skull coin before time runs out?

I saw the "news" about multisig integration, but I don't understand. Is this m-of-n or P2SH? Is there somewhere an example?

It's m-of-n with bare OP_CHECKMULTISIG. Instructions are forthcoming! Wink

For instructions: http://support.counterparty.co/support/solutions/articles/5000006561-multisig-tech

We can enhance these further moving forward, based on user feedback.

I bought Swarm in this transaction -> https://blockchain.info/tx/9d537b9987bf8c6530270ee5091221180bcbe35c3971087b2807c0304a2665bc

I am trying to import the private key for address 1Gz6P57LwNyN4uSB9wXhALX7ByWs9B14No to Counterwallet, but it doesn't show anything there. What am I missing?

Looks like your address didn't received any SWARMPRE, you should contact SWARM team to get that sorted.

You can't import private keys into Counterwallet. You can only sweep funds into it. (This is because the servers don't store any of your private keys, which are, instead, generated on the fly, at login, from your passphrase.)

Bitcoin is new, makes sense to hodl.
Until we have the btc auto escrow feature on counterwallet, XBTC is a smoother choice to trade for XCP, no BTC fee/BTCPay bs, although I have quite a few success selling XCP for BTC, so I guess it's not so bad experience either. It's all good.

now XCP/BTC and XCP/XBTC prices are lower in the Distributed Exchange than polo/bter with good volumes, buyers should try the distributed exchange in counterwallet out

Yes, the prices are good and liquidity is improving on the DEX.

Yesterday XCP/XBTC had the largest 1 day volume since it started trading!

Thank you very much to the person who sent 0.02 BTC to 1AQjWTtRvpqr7AWYZgFxqYtX5WZHnMYCmi:
https://blockchain.info/address/1AQjWTtRvpqr7AWYZgFxqYtX5WZHnMYCmi

That is very kind of you.  We have now made a donation to charity of an amount equal to that value, which you can see here:
https://www.justgiving.com/amnesty

Then search the comments for the input address in the donation transaction and this proves we made the donation in relation to this transaction.  We have also issued you with 6 Charitycoins, which is an asset on Counterparty.

Please feel free to donate more money, all you need to do is send Bitcoin to 1AQjWTtRvpqr7AWYZgFxqYtX5WZHnMYCmi and then we will make a donation of the same amount to any Charity of your choice.  We are so pleased you have slowly started to donate and believe we have a viable alternative to Proof of Burn.

Counterpartying
Can I accept SJCX using counterwallet?
 
 ~~MZ~~

Yes, and any BTC address of which you have the private key (even offline wallets). You can also buy and sell SJCX on the Counterparty decentralized exchange using Counterwallet itself.

When using BTC address, you should have few BTC in it to pay miners' fee. So does counterwallet really for SJCX or is it just a BTC wallet?

~~MZ~~

It really does work for SJCX.
