Is there a traceback printing in counterpartyd.log? If so, that would probably have a line number to the error. If it's something we haven't fixed, we'll get it fixed once we know the location (given that you said you already patched the bug we already fixed).

This is in the api.error.log:

Is there any particular reason why you chose Australia?

I have control to the private key to this BTC address. I'd be happy to sign a message stating that. I'm led_lcd here in Bitcointalk, global_trade_repo in the official Counterparty forums and neither am I anonymous.

XBTC is a product based upon Vennd. XBTC is a service of a (soon to be ) legally incorporated company called vennd.io (http://vennd.io). We have been working in close relationship with the Counterparty developers to bring features, service and value to the Counterparty community.

In which country will vennd.io become a legally incorporated company?

This has been fixed earlier in the develop branch: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/commit/e64312d064da1a5ed8b6e52744e99fc40f8d12d0

We'll get it ported into master, since it looks like it will be a bit before we merge develop into master again.

For now, feel free to edit the code yourself, directly, to fix the problem.

I've manually patched api.py but I am still getting:

I just realized that XCP is perfect for issuing digital currencies backed by real assets.
(Others may have written about this before, so forgive me if I "steal" these thoughts ... )

Unlike altcoins, you don't need to fear the network collapsing any more than you need for bitcoin.

Therefore XCP is the perfect platform for issuing an asset/coin, right?

Now say you own a shop and want customers to pay in a crytpo-currency because it's convenient and has low fees. The problem with bitcoin is volatility. Therefore you issue CRYPTODOLLAR which you back by USD. How you do it is simply that you put your asset for sale at the price of one dollar measured in bitcoins. Your asking price always adjusts up and down according to BTC's price. You also promise always to buy back at 99 cents, so that customers only faces a tiny spread (kinda like ETFs on the stock exchange are priced).

As long as your customers trust that you'll always buy back their CRYPTODOLLARS they have a cryptocurruency with zero volatility. To gain this trust you may have an audited bank account with the same amount of dollars as you've issued of these assets. The same can be done backed by gold, silver, or anything else.

In terms of betting this could work just as well. Xbet.io is an excellent service, but it's difficult to get the XCPs needed to bet. The spread is large and the volume is low. If someone trustworthy issues a CASIONDOLLAR or similar based on the description above, it becomes more user friendly. At the moment, though, this may be impossible (If I understood correct) since only XCPs are possible to use for betting. But in a future update of Counterparty any asset can be used, am I right?

Yes.

How to get XBTC
An automatic vending machine for XBTC has been created. To get XBTC, simply send BTC in Counterwallet to:

1XBTCxh9HdyQ4y5VMnTzPANZoZZvrMSA6
After 3 confirmations, XBTC will be sent back automatically.

Just to clarify, who has access to this BTC address, and how we can be sure that it won't be suddenly emptied?

Why does the BTC/XCP bid/ask show a crossed order book?

The order book gets a little crossed when users fail to make BTCpays (usually selling BTC and failing to remain logged in to Counterwallet). This situation should be migitaged by some of the changes in v9.25.0, which increases the frequency with which orders attempt to match with each other.

Order Book
View the XBTC/XCP order book at Blockscan: http://www.blockscan.com/order_book.aspx?f=2

Why Trade with XBTC

When you trade on the DEX using XBTC you can trade without worrying about: fees (fee required, fee provided)
Troll orders. Every price you see at blockscan is the price you can hit directly. Prices from the bid and ask side will converge.
Waiting for the other side of the trade to btcpay, nor will you need to be standing by to perform a BTC pay.

XBTC is

Cheaper to trade than using BTC unless trading in very low amounts (<0.05 BTC). If you trade in larger blocks (>=0.9 BTC) XBTC is cheaper than trading on a centralized exchange! I have created a cost analysis spreadsheet here https://docs.google.com/a/vennd.io/spreadsheets/d/1ymF4Fks4xXLZExhMHM8_8otm1lFD7OHCO0sgsfXKU2I/edit#gid=0
100% transparent and auditable
100% of BTC is held in reserve https://blockchain.info/address/1XBTCxh9HdyQ4y5VMnTzPANZoZZvrMSA6

Security

There is no web or user interface. There is no web site to attack.
The only way to reach the XBTC servers is via the Bitcoin network, via TOR. There are NO other ports open, no SSH, no remote access.

Source Code
XBTC is based upon the source code for Vennd. The full source will be free and available soon. If you wish to gain access early, please send me a PM.

XBTC is the easiest and smoothest way to trade on the DEX
Had troubles with orders not matching or going through against BTC on the DEX?
XBTC is the answer. XBTC is worth exactly 1 BTC. XBTC is a native Counterparty asset and can be held in full escrow by Counterparty.
The fee to to get XBTC is only 0.1% + TX costs.

How to get XBTC
An automatic vending machine for XBTC has been created. To get XBTC, simply send BTC in Counterwallet to:

1XBTCxh9HdyQ4y5VMnTzPANZoZZvrMSA6
After 3 confirmations, XBTC will be sent back automatically.

Open Counterwallet, select 'Send' from the address which you want to get XBTC

1) Enter the address from above
2) Enter in the amount of BTC you want to send
3) Click 'Send'

That's it!

How to get back your BTC
Send XBTC from Counterwallet back to the same address as above.

Hi Guys,

We're looking for active volunteers to run Counterparty meetup groups in the 20 world cities listed here -

https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,361.0.html

If you're the first to get a successful group started in one of these cities, we'll send you -

25 XCP to help cover the meetup.com charges,
... plus, an extra 75 XCP as a little bonus from the founders.

These groups are central to our strategy, and we'd like to get at least a dozen groups running by mid year.

Have you tried Counterwallet? In my opinion it isn't any harder than using a regular Bitcoin wallet whatsoever. Can you please explain what you think is too complicated? What kind of video tutorials would you like to see? I will gladly take the time to explain if need be.

Also, the counterpartyd protocol does not have to be understood by everyone. The point is that it works. More and more higher-level applications and graphical user interfaces will be built, making it super easy for the end user. SWARM will make crowdfunding easier to use, and VENND will make buying tokens as easy as sending BTC to an address.

Instead of concluding something based on no argument provided, it would be beneficial if you pointed out what confuses you, so that we can work on explaining it to the community.
