I am experimenting with Counterparty and I feel totally lost.
First of all, I would like to critizise the current distributed exchange.

There is a strange buy order at a very good price. However the user seems not to accept any offers. So it is basically impossible to sell XCP to the bid side.

Also on the ask side there are several problems. There are many orders which require very large fees, which are not obvious on the first sight. The best example is the 0.002 BTC / XCP order with 8 BTC fees.

Can't we just leave the "self definable" fees out? This is really confusing? And how can we deal with the strange orders which are not intended to be ever completed?

I have invested 5 BTC in XCP just to play around with it.

The first... that's a legacy troll order, it should disappear.

The other order is due to UX issues that will get worked out over time, not issues with the protocol per se. for example the orders should be ordered by total unit costs, accounting for price and fees; and it should be more clear to users what stuff like "F_Req" means.

When you see stuff like that what you really ought to do is send feedback to the app maker so he can take it into consideration.

Thanks for the detailed response. That makes things much clearer.
I have one suggestion, not sure if this is possible. But what if a buy order would require to send the BTC amount (which you are intended to spend) to yourself - as a proof that you really own the BTC required to fill the order?

This is a plug for a service I'm developing.

One way you can simplify your trading on the DEX is to buy XBTC and use that to trade on the DEX:

It will avoid the confusion you are experiencing.

Bug report - The BTC amount display unit is Satoshi which looks like weird.

v6.5

Code:

C:\>counterpartyd balances 1Gb2f6axSt528uBfUT54Ed

C:\>echo off
Balances
+-------+---------------+
| Asset | Amount |
+-------+---------------+
| BTC | 41158829 |
| XCP | 1001.80991818 |
+-------+---------------+

Thanks for the report. This has been fixed in develop.

that is the point of the "F_req" actually, so that people need to use up some btc in order to match an order and lock it

just sending btc around proves nothing and costs almost nothing

Is there a legitimate copy of the counterpartyd database posted somewhere with instructions to replace the existing db?

Thanks

Hey halfcab I'm having the same issues with send that you had a couple days ago.

Did you figure out how to resolve it?

I guess it kinda just worked itself out for me. I just restarted the daemon and was able to send after updating. I didn't even rebuild from source, or anything.... so I don't really quite know exactly what fixed it for me.

Something else noteworthy about the addition of XCP to BTER, is that XCP is on the main markets bar at the top. This is good stuff. BTCBTCBTCBTC

Is there anybody know well about dos command of counterparty.

For example, if I want match this order, what's command for it?
Tx Source Buy Sell Price Expiration F_Req F_Prov Remarks
5374 1HCPCB8HkeTZ1xWbdDjqciJ2cSk83zho22 4.5 BTC 477.65 XCP 0.00942112 BTC/XCP (204|500) 0.04275 0.0001 477.65 XCP remain

I tried "counterpartyd order --source xxx --get-quantity 477 --get-asset XCP --give-quantity 4.5 --give-asset BTC --expiration 100 --fee-fraction-required 0.04275 --fee-fraction-provided 0.0001
But it can not match that order.

Thanks a lot.

Since you are "giving" BTC, you need to switch your fee-fraction-provided and fee-fraction-required.

it didn't really come out the way I wanted but it's good enough for now until i get time to talk to one of my graphic design and beg them to do a better version

Select file, press delete, click OK on the window that pops up, should do the necessary conversion for you.

Vires in Numeris

Just a small update.
I've sent JahPowerBit a build with the new completed color selection system.
If you want to play around with it you will be able to get it from the github at some point today.

I wanted to have things done but ended up taking way longer than I hoped.
Not much left to do before it is complete.

Set up script to change icons based on color variable
Add theme selector
Add search box/functionality
Add Passphrase box

The last two are fairly simple, theme selector will probably take the most time as its not difficult but very tedious.

Awesome news about Bter!
