I found it humorous, on the GITHUB docs, that as an example, the value of 1 XCP = 2 BTC  Grin

Order

An ‘order’ is an offer to give a particular quantity of a particular asset and get some quantity of some other asset in return. No distinction is drawn between a ‘buy order’ and a ‘sell order’. The assets being given are escrowed away immediately upon the order being parsed. That is, if someone wants to give 1 XCP for 2 BTC, then as soon as he publishes that order, his balance of XCP is reduced by one.


Someday we will look back and laugh even more when 1 XCP really equals 10 BTC. And all the CAKE will be gone.


10 BTC!??

Effectively putting the market cap around $17B at today's prices. Hey Facebook paid as much for WhatsApp!

sorry, I got too excited by the example and forgot to convert my values from base 2  Cheesy
I don't like to start wild speculations, but this could be much, much bigger than Facebook AND Whatsapp!

And of course, there will be CAKE.
Hurry up and get some here: https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,118.0.html


You should sell MUSHROOMS instead of CAKE, you would make a fortune, since you have top level stuff apparently. Just hope there will be some left, since you seem to have a huge appetite.

IMHO, but I don't perceive an "anti-marketing sentiment". More like being conservative right now to stay behind the noise of Mtgox and Auroracoin and whatever new IPO coin of the week. Once the new website design goes up, a broader community is formed, the web wallet goes up, we get the security review done, and the GUI is improved, then absolutely go all out.

+1, valid point, good to match the PR with progress.

website should be at the least collecting emails into a mailchimp account, i made the mistake of not doing this early on with the mastercoin.org website and probably lost out on a couple 1000s of emails when msc hit coinmartketcap.

+1

You don't need a polished product to start working on marketing, advertising and PR (yes, all different things)..

I think XBTC has security-wised benefit over existing centralized exchanges,

in that - converting XBTC <-> BTC on the gateway is way harder to screw up than making fullstack exchange where there are too many moving parts,


the only way this works is if the coins are in cold storage vaults and insured, otherwise maxmint gets hit by a bus or someone finds him in RL, and you are all screwed.

you all just don't learn your lessons, do ya? cough cough gox

I thought this could be setup like an escrow type thing where its decentralized and no one has control, only the person who set it up to start. If not then I agree big time.

mastercoin omiwallet is looking to support alts (lite/peer/etc)

http://mastercointalk.org/index.php?topic=185.0

They probably not going to support XCP, but what's the strategy behind this ?

it's going to be based on an open plug in architecture, and it's open source

we have some folks working on adding peercoin and litecoin at the moment.

btw guys check out huntercoin (note i have not actually played the game  myself) but this is the kind of cool innovation that can happen using stuff like msc, xcp, cc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot-sRUjmkck

the UI and trying to figure out how to play this game is absolutely horrendous, but you get the idea...

Should I make an easy install/instructional program/aide that allows user to have a walkthrough/semi-auto install process to guide them through the installation ? Maybe make it easier for some users until we get a lightweight GUI or web wallet ?

Anything helps, especially if the autoinstall is simple and futureproof. Right now even understanding the protocol is a challenge to most, so if you are not inclined to make an autoinstall, anything in that area that would also be helpful.

I needs to be easy for people to part with their money, and that will be the best thing to happen to xcp.

Unless we get stalled on the GUI or web wallets, I would say it's not worth it - it might feel like forever, but waiting a few weeks for the new wallets is better, IMO.

Hey Guys,
I am continually impressed by the activity and drive of this community.
255+ pages and counting!

I would also like to announce another donation to JahPowerBits Development fund from user Bellebite2014 for a whopping .3 BTC!
I will be including a custom theme of his choosing for him as thanks.

A quick update; After some consideration and reworking of the system I've implemented a fully customizable color theme selector instead of set color theme selections.
This will allow a greater deal of customization to the wallet.

You can now modify any element of the interface to the color of your choosing to create your own (flat) theme utilizing color selectors. If you want a graphical theme of your design included in the final release feel free to donate to JahPowerBit!

Theres a small bug in my code Roll Eyes but I'm gonna leave that to JahPowerBit to sort out when hes got a moment.

In the meanwhile I have some custom graphical themes to do.

I will be posting some screenshots here for them over the next day or so.

JahPowerBit has some great plans for this wallet including making it a blockchain-less client so you don't have to download 12GB of crap. Unfortunately time is something he doesn't have much of so we need to buy him some free time!

Supporting our Devs is the single most beneficial thing you can do for your investments.
Spreading the word is the second, so keep doing it!
Thanks everyone!
