No, like a decentralised online marketplace. with physical goods being escrowed in a trustless manner by the protocol


It will be the last feature mastercoin will work on,


Oh like multi sig stuff?  I haven't even pondered that idea. Like a crypto Amazon. Yeah that could be huge.

We (my partners an I) are working on this concept as we speak. I'll keep you posted.

could you elaborate please?

Sure,

At the moment it doens't really have anything to do with the XCP/Bitcoin protocol, it's going to be a way to actually create ways to use your crypto-coins. If your prefered coin is XCP (wich i assume) there'll be plenty of ways to create traffic in XCP trades for either goods or services.

I'm open to any ideas/suggestions about how to make XCP benefit from our ideas in the best way possible.

You can reach me here or through PM

i'm feeling rather generous today in giving out knowledge.

so here's a clue of what kind of interface will be required for "asset issuance" to take off

i recommend anyone interested in this part of the business peruse the user experience on this site linked beloow both from the project lead, project evangelist and the to be project follower perspectives.

https://www.kickstarter.com/

some stats...

for the leader and evangelist

and then take note of what particular category the vast majority of top 50 projects fall into... guess what the synergies are between meta-coin and this particular category...

On the other hand, a crowfunding system on top of Counterparty could replace kickstarter completely or reduce the fees to almost nothing.  Not only that, but there would be no centralized entity to make arbitrary decisions to pull project listings.

This is a slippery slope because there would also be no arbitrator to prevent scams/fraud projects and protect users. I would argue a centralized for-profit entity in this regard would be beneficial to the community at large. It would be in this entities best interests to prevent fraud and scams or else it would lose future investment opportunities.

Ok so I realize that low price sales on XCP are a touchy subject, and I am guessing someone is probably going to bite my head off for this, but I'm going to just be up front. I have 28 BTC on hand to purchase 6,000 XCP. I figured since it was a bulk buy, 0.0046 might be ok with someone out there looking to get their initial investment back 460%+ from IPO/Burn. Just let me know, if not, and this angers you, send me PM or just ignore this. Thanks.

If you want to do this, I prefer using an escrow that is noteworthy in this community. If you would like to just use the DEX, I'll gladly put the order in the order book if you want to match it, just don't feel like doing it unless I know someone wants to trade for all of it now.

To be fair, there are in deed couple of reasons to sell XCP now. First, the competitors, such as mastercoin DEX is suppose to be out in days. Second, the counterparty wallet is about to be released. This may be positive in long term, but could be negative in short term. Many burners are too lazy to install all the dependencies to sell their coins. Therefore, the web wallet may attract buyers slowly in long term, but bring a lot of sellers immediately.

I will not sell my XCP myself now, cause I just burnt couple of BTC and I am fine to lose them all. Those who burnt tens of BTC may think differently and choose to sell part of their holdings now.

If you give money to an idiot. He will use it for toilet paper. Seriously though he might of also just needed the money off of it and had to sell it quick. I would love to get in on that too if he still has some.

that's what i was thinking.

Well whomever it is, they chose BTER to head to the exit. They may have received better pricing on the DEX...I guess they're in a hurry to buy some more AUR?

That's my guess, a big shareholder that want to exit. Some have already exited during last week on poloniex.

Problem is that on the DEX, if you want to sell XCP, you have to wait for the buyer to make a btcpay, or sell for XBTC but the orderbook is not filled enough to sell big stacks (a bummer since I tired it today and it was working perfectly, both the XBTC/XCP and XBTC/BTC. Maxmint fee of 1% is fainally not so much when you realize that everyhting is backed by the BTC blockchain)

I would be interested in a service which can interface with counterparty to allow a user to buy and later redeem a voucher
presumably, an asset would be created; for example 'amazongift10', the user would pay a price pegged to USD 10 equivalent to receive 1 'amazongift10', and would later navigate to a website, enter their email address and then make a tx of this asset, or some other similar mechanism

Please forgive my ignorance on the technical aspects.

If any developers out there feel they are capable of creating such a service (if it is even possible) please get in touch discuss & negotiate.

Check the transactions of this address : 17QGXdQEgjvjVR6h66u1bPKVMHKiVFqiy9

They may be genuine transactions but XCPs are regularly transferred to this address from burn addresses and then to exchanges

Must be someone who burned alot. I don't see anything fishy.

Are you suggesting that assets for games will be the most popular in Counterparty? Smiley

On the other hand, a crowfunding system on top of Counterparty could replace kickstarter completely or reduce the fees to almost nothing.  Not only that, but there would be no centralized entity to make arbitrary decisions to pull project listings.

both.  but it's a while out.  the bitcoin community is like a bunch of hardware guys that don't even know their h/w is meant to run software. i mean for xrist sake porn.com only started using bitcoin a couple months ago.  think about why that is?  this community utterly sucks at evangelizing to anyone that does not want to buy an ASIC miner and print funny internet money.

why are people so against paying fees?  keep in mind that designing these sites, writing the code, doing user focus groups, gathering data, community engagement all take time and cost money.  

try not to focus on the negatives, more about the positives and empowering people.  

low fees are useless if you get shit for service, now of course everyone hates high fees and shit for service... but in fact many people are willing to pay even more for great service.

this GUI is my design
it's a Model,what dou you think about it good or so bad



Fix the typos please

Just terrible. Typos, alignment, bad copy / paste of random images... *in god we trust*... Really ? In God ? With the statue of Liberty ? You couldn't find anything even more cheesy than this crap ? What does God, which doesn't exist btw, has to do with XCP ?

You should add a *We believe in unicorns* while you are at it... What a waste of time.

I won't tip my fedora as hard in my criticism, but yeah, the statue of liberty and "In God We Trust" are no good.  We don't need anything in crypto reminding people of fiat or giving the sense that Counterparty is being marketed towards Americans only.

Agreed. God and statue have to go.

who cares about the statue... where's the "Get mary jane now" and "purchase rocket launcher" buttons???



this is just a tasteless joke btw don't take me seriously

Can we get a moderator to get rid of some of these graphics ? I think they may contribute in a bad way to morale both within the community and serve as joke materials for other communities.. -____-

Any news on the Web wallet ?

In last page was jimhsu message.

Quick update for others in the thread:

Counterwallet has now moved into internal testing. Plenty of things to troubleshoot ... but it does work.

No set release date yet, but it's coming.

We will have news on this very shortly (cityglut or Matt should be announcing).

Status update.
Phew!
I've pretty much done everything on the client. Added icon switching functionality, Search functionality, and fixed all the bugs I could find, etc etc.
Sending JahPowerBit the finals again to look at.


As far as I know, this is the first cryptocurrency wallet with a customizable interface (yay us!)
Tell the other currencies to put that in their pipe and smoke it!

Last thing to do is include the graphical themes, which is basically just adding a new menu to the theme footer bar and a few lines to the JS (k its a bit more than that but its pretty straightforward).
Sorry guys, this turned out to be a hell of a lot more than originally anticipated but I have been working nonstop so we should have a official 1.0 for you soon!

It's been another all-nighter and my eyes are starting to burn! Time to sleep.
Night!


Great job you guys on this wallet (from the code, to the installer, to the GUI)! Looking better every day.

Jah's work on the light client layer is also very exciting to me.

Jah: on that point, Insight (https://github.com/bitpay/insight-api) also can provide transaction data...but I'm not sure if it's at the level you need (i.e. all the required raw tx data). For example: http://test.bitcore.io/api/txs/?block=00000000fa6cf7367e50ad14eb0ca4737131f256fc4c5841fd3c3f140140e6b6

If that will work, we (i.e. the dev team, and/or members of the community) may be able to set up some insight servers we could use as Boottle light wallet hosts. This may be a good alternative to blockchain, especially if you run into throttling issues with them. Optimally it would be great to give users a choice...e.g. use blockchain, a specific insight host, a randomly chosen insight host, etc.

The thing with insight though is that it's just a wrapper around bitcoind....i.e. it doesn't have its own RPC API interface for doing things like composing and sending transactions. Would still have to use blockchain for that most likely.
