Master coin has maid safe coin fundraiser using it, which is hoping to raise 8mil using master coin tokens, therefore this is quite big for msc and could push the price up a lot further.

Is this VHS or Beta?
I've mentioned it before and I need to mention it again. I'm a little dismayed that MSC is moving up in price while XCP is moving down. I like XCP better for some reason, although I'm not completely sure why. I think MSC's initial lack of progress turned me off.
Any really sober and unemotional comments on this?

We're received a report of a loss (e.g. potential theft) of ~0.385 BTC from a Counterwallet user. No XCP or any other asset was removed, and the loss was from a "new wallet" (counterwallet.co) address that the user manually moved BTC to from their old (old.counterwallet.co) wallet. The funds went to: https://blockchain.info/address/1K31gDdh5n1GjXtbR8G2WpqnZawWEroQGD
At this point, we don't believe this is an issue with the wallet itself, but we are asking anyone with BTC in their wallet that have used the new wallet version (with the changed addresses) to log in and verify their funds are still intact. If this is NOT the case, and you have experienced an unexpected loss (of BTC especially), please (after doublechecking things) email [email protected] directly, with a report (include screenshots as well).
For now, we advise people to minimize their use of the new wallet system, but we are keeping the new system up to allow continued access to funds (and if it appears that this issue is affecting other users, we will change our stance here).
The difference from the "old" counterwallet to the "new" counterwallet was basically an update of bitcoinjs-lib (the javascript bitcoin library we use). We are in touch with the bitcoinjs-lib team about a potential issue here.
As a precautionary measure, to avoid the risk of issue in the future (even if this specific loss of funds incident does not involve counterwallet code), we are currently in the process of modifying the previous version of bitcoinjs-lib -- that we have used successfully from Counterwallet launch to yesterday -- to work with the new wallet addresses (i.e. correct HD Wallet addresses). Once this work is complete, we will resume using this previous version, and stick with it until there is a) a major point release of bitcoinjs that b) we can independently verify.
Once this issue has been fully resolved, we will be in a better position to assess the root causes, as well the impact. Thanks for your patience.

With Counterparty Protocol technology, we are the tip of the serrated, bleeding, and profitable edge of bitcoin2.0 innovation! We don't need to wait for sidechains!
April 10, 2014 - Abstract:
The next major wave of Bitcoin regulation will likely be aimed at financial instruments, including securities and derivatives, as well as prediction markets and even gambling. While there are many easily regulated intermediaries when it comes to traditional securities and derivatives, emerging bitcoin-denominated instruments rely much less on traditional intermediaries. Additionally, the block chain technology that Bitcoin introduced for the first time makes completely decentralized markets and exchanges possible, thus eliminating the need for intermediaries in complex financial transactions.
In this article we survey the type of financial instruments and transactions that will most likely be of interest to regulators, including traditional securities and derivatives, new bitcoin-denominated instruments, and completely decentralized markets and exchanges. We find that bitcoin derivatives would likely not be subject to the full scope of regulation under the Commodities and Exchange Act because such derivatives would likely involve physical delivery (as opposed to cash settlement) and would not be capable of being centrally cleared. We also find that some laws, including those aimed at online gambling, do not contemplate a payment method like Bitcoin, thus placing many transactions in a legal gray area.
Following the approach to Bitcoin taken by FinCEN, we conclude that other financial regulators should consider exempting or excluding certain financial transactions denominated in Bitcoin from the full scope of the regulations, much like private securities offerings and forward contracts are treated. We also suggest that to the extent that regulation and enforcement becomes more costly than its benefits, policymakers should consider and pursue strategies consistent with that new reality, such as efforts to encourage resilience and adaptation.

Hi all,
I created a simple website which allows to lookup any unspent output from every address:
http://redeem.bitwatch.co/
Furthermore a raw transaction can be created which collects and combines unspent outputs whereby outputs from multiple addresses can be used.
The most important feature: standard multi signature outputs are included and it's very easy to redeem Mastercoin or Counterparty dust.
The basis for this was sipa's awesome address indexed Bitcoin branch which received some further additions.
Please note: this is experimental and feedback is appreciated.

MARKETING / COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT STATEMENT:
As you all know, I had been working on a commercial with a colleague of mine. We had spent many hours getting the proper studio reservations and filming multiple angle shots with very high-dollar equipment lights & audio etc., Everything turned out great and we were both very excited.
Unfortunately, due to a personal conflict, we have parted ways professionally. That being said, the audio from my telephone conversation with LED_LCD, as well as over an hour of incredible quality video are no longer in my possession. This split, also brings with it, the inability for me to use the studio which was so graciously made available to us. I do not foresee these events changing for the better in the near future.
On a brighter note, being that I have the public speaking ability, macbook + final cut pro X, as well as 15 years of Video Editing experience and experience in the industry of film, including a decently large portfolio of videos including a feature length @ youtube.com/halfcab123 I have turned to my own wallet (literally,) in the spirit of this great community and technological undertaking to purchase my own equipment; however if possible I could use some help. I do not expect to be paid a penny for this work, I only ask that if possible anything you can contribute would be great. I have just purchased a Nikon DSLR D3200 which I will be using to completely take the task of this commercial under my own advisement.
Any assets which are purchased with the communities donation, I will be turning over to Counterparty Marketing at their request; whether that means I am requested to film additional content, or actually have the items shipped somewhere else. At this time, I need to raise money for:
Total: $525 (1.8 BTC)
If I can raise the 1.17 BTC to help with this initiative I will greatfully spend the rest out of my own pocket, (if needed)
Here's the saved wishlist on TigerDirect -- > http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/wishlist/wishlist.asp?WishId=E7B71AF6-E486-431A-BD59-0973A7F4CA39
Now I brace for criticism, which I'm sure will be humorous from some. But I leave you with these questions; Who is currently working on a commercial? If no one, than why not me? In addition do we need a commercial ? Do you think it will impact both the price of XCP and the notoriety of the protocol and all of its associated initiatives? If so then why not let me give this a shot?

I´ve logged in to the old counterwallet to transfer my funds to the new one, but although I logged in with the same password like before, it takes me to a different account. My XCPs and BTCs are not shown and I am pretty sure that the addresses are different, too.
any idea or suggestion?

So the exchanges like bter are still better than counterwallet??
No. Someone will come and fix it. Until then, stay calm. BTER had god knows how many outages with XCP and so did Poloniex. Its a Beta and its under heavy development.

Guys, please note that we just updated Counterwallet with an updated version of the Bitcoin deterministic wallet implementation for Javascript (i.e. the bitcoinjs-lib BIP32 HDWallet). This updated version corrects a spec compliance issue with the previous version (which did not impact or lessen security or funds safety in any way, but led to wallet addresses being created that were not 100% compliant with the deterministic wallet spec).
If you had an existing account, you will need to create a new account on this system, and then log into https://old.counterwallet.co to transfer over your existing balance to your new account created on this system. The old.counterwallet.co system provides you the ability to view your private keys, so you can use the "sweep" feature to easily move the balances over. We will keep this old.counterwallet.co system running for a few weeks to allow individuals to transfer their balances, however, please move over to the new system (i.e. this site) as soon as possible.
