Hi Guys,

I have an idea for a super bowl betting pool that utilizes the Counterparty asset exchange and I would appreciate some feedback on it.

Basically the game involves purchasing a token over the asset exchange that correspond to the NFL team you think is going to win the super bowl, and if that team wins the issuer buys back those tokens for the grand prize (probably .1 BTC, per token).

Team tokens sold by the issuer correspond to their current Vegas super bowl odds and will be updated weekly to reflect changes. Owners of the tokens may do with them what they wish; they will not be recalled and may be traded openly on the exchange for whatever else is there.

I already registered all the team names as assets(except somebody had taken "BEARS" already... hey guy who owns it, want to sell it to me?), as well as a handful of domain names. You can check out a bare bones version of the site:

http://thebitbowl.com/    or
http://counterbowl.com/

I have an instructions / rules list and FAQ I am working on that hammers out the details, but I thought I would open myself up to comments and criticism right now in case I am about to jump off a legal ledge or something. I'd like all the advice I can get.

I'm also thinking of associating image files for each asset but don't want to run into copyright issues.

What do you think? Thanks.

Great news! URO could be the first real world application that counterparty has been looking for!! This has the potential to raise the value of counterparty as well. Good job team!


Just cross posting...excited to see how this plays out.

Hi ,

I recently created a Counterparty web wallet. Very cool, and I was able to purchase some SwarmPre with BTC.

I have been trying to get some XCP in the wallet from Poloniex.  I have tried twice to send XCP from Poloniex Exchange to my Counterparty wallet. Each time the transactions have resulted in error. Poloniex has been great about crediting the XCP back to my account on the exchange. However, the question I have is, what is the best way to get XCP into my Counterparty wallet? Strangely this has been the most difficult thing to do.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

This seems like it has to be an issue on Poloniex's side. I'd ask them. All Counterwallet is doing is receiving, which is really hard to mess up. If the coins are not arriving there is some issue on the sending side.

Yes, BTER worked fine for me today. So it must have been an issue with Poloniex. Thanks for all your help.

BTC - The future of gold.

XCP - The future of stock exchange, no middleman.

XCP - The future of crypto-commodities trading, direct from farmer to food.

What's the most straightforward way for someone with a semi truck (or a fleet?) to start brokering loads on counterparty?

Lending Bits bits looks like a great project, but in the USA wouldn't it violate SEC laws? US companies are not allowed to issue bonds unless they register with the SEC, not to mention they are not allowed to advertise/promote that they are raising financing unless they register with the SEC (this is the "general solicitation" rule).

I think the guys are going to be starting in the UK, and will be seeking advice on UK law first. They also plan to use Vennd.io to create a gateway that will only dispense value to KYC authorised Bitcoin addresses to help with AML requirements.

So what happens when the bonds are traded around to random people on the DEX?  The distributions will be withheld until the bonds are held by someone with KYC?

The thinking is to scan the blockchain to make sure that a bond has never been traded outside of group of authorized participants. So before you buy one of these instruments via the DEX, you'd need to make sure you're registered, otherwise, you'd effectively be destroying its value. So, they're using Vennd and the blockchain history to create a kind of closed market that has less exposure from a regulatory point of view, but retains the benefits of low cost transactions.

I'll point the guys to this thread - they might want to chime in.

Guys, shortly (i.e. after the buy/sell page rework currently in progress) we will be adding functionality to Counterwallet to make BTC to XCP purchases MUCH easier, bypassing the decentralized exchange.

We will also be adding "market order" capability to the decentralized exchange buy functionality of Counterwallet, which will fill ones order (for BTC to XCP, at least) at the best possible price, allowing it to match immediately if there is any liquidity at all.

Stay tuned...

Glad to hear of countewallet development.

the community should support these endeavors.

great work!

SME lending platform emerges from UK Hackathon.

Over the weekend of the 28th and 29th of June, I represented Counterparty at Hackcoin (which is the UKs first digital currency hackathon). One of the five teams developed a prototype for a start-up called Lending Bits, which is a platform that aims to enable SMEs to raise funding by issuing bonds on the Counterparty platform.

More info on our blog.
