Topic: [ANN][XCP] Counterparty - Pioneering Peer-to-Peer Finance - Official Thread - page 425. (Read 1277015 times)

I didn't see a red cross or salvation army sign on the front page of this thread.

Also, you should never help a clown, they will just drag you down to their level. You never played Starcraft 2?

And I will just quote Cartman : *Damn hippie!*. Please send all your XCP and BTC to Ethiopia, since you are here to help others apparently.
Once this is done, please come back and you can go on with saving the whales and baby deers.

Mmmh, just be patient then.

Personally, I'm not especially tech saavy, I don't often run linux (and I haven't in this case) but I was perfectly able to run burn BTC, run counterpartyd, use all the basic functions of it (and appreciate the novelty of this new protocol)

The only thing that takes time is the reindexing of the blockchain (but it can be done faster with the downlaod of a  bootstrap.dat via torrent) and the parsing of the counterparty database that takes between 3h and 4h. After that you're good to go, and you can already use BootleXCP which is the GUI developed by JahPowerbit.

Lightwallet is in the works.

You have to understand that it's sometimes boring (to say the least) to have child-like whiners (or french girls  ) coming here and asking why the coin hasn't done 3000% yet when at the same time, the devs are working on their own funds to provide the rest of us a working protocol (the first working ever of that type) yet in alpha stage.

Did Satoshi provided on day 1 a light wallet, a web wallet and 1000% profit for free? No. Not even after a year.

If you feel that your questions are too 'noobish' just ask at the right place : Newbie thread ->  https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,51.0.html

Why does the majority of people in the world use Mac or Windows? Why don't they just compile their own operating systems and software?

I have linux on my other pc and it's working fine, it's just that stuff like this discourages a lot of people. I think updating the instructions or build is trivial, but to 90% of the people its the difference between adoption and giving up. In the past week, I've met at least 5 people interested in XCP. They wanted to invest their BTC. But the process was too difficult, and the instructions were wrong. You click through link and link, download python and dependencies, before realizing that it doesn't work.

Most of them gave up entirely, and a small fraction took their business to a centralized exchange and are risking their money. You have to consider that 90% of people don't even know how to get to the instructions from the front page (counterparty.co). Then they come here and most likely get the reaction that "QQ noob, u l0s3 headsh0t" and they move their finances to a different game in town.

Now if you own any XCP whatsoever, and condone this, then you are basically creating negative marketing. People will not be magically drawn to XCP simply because the protocol is amazing and revolutionary. People are fundamentally affected by ideology and presentation. Steve Jobs didn't become a billionaire by making his products impossible to use.

Just look at Dogecoin. It has no innovation, but its appeal to human stupidity created much more publicity than XCP can ever achieve with this attitude.

Why not install a Linux VM? It's a good idea to improve security anyway. you can also wait for the web client.

This is a place to help others. Helping others is helping ourselves.

I am not an elitist. This is just common sense. You can't make love to 9 women and expect to have a baby in 1 month.
It takes time to make things, and the devs are already working around the clock to make miracles and really cool things happen.

And also, just an FYI, if you were dating me, you would be crying, and also walking funny.

Nice one, but I have better things to do. I will make sure to use the link from now though.

Here are a few categories of female french greedy guinea pigs :
-We want to be on 432 shitty exchanges, in the middle of 4562 shitcoins
-Price didn't X1000 already, WTF
-Where is the webwallet?
-I am too retarded to use the current version, can the devs come to my place and make it work?
-Weeks old code on a weeks old exchange getting hacked once / month has been...hacked. Where is my money?
-Where is the GUI?
-How do you burn BTC to get XCP? (this is always a good one, especially in March)
-My 2 brain cells managed to install the client, can anyone send me 1000 XCP to test it?

Acting like an elitist snob and making innovation inaccessible to end users will not get you far. It will end up in a nerd circlejerk that is constantly confused why 'all the clowns and plebs' do not adopt their 'amazing new innovation'.

I'm not surprised you're so focused on crying French girls, because if I dated you, I would be crying too.

It thought it may be useful for you to get this short video converted into an animated gif, to mock people you feel are complaining.

My ribs are hurting

This is alpha code with commits coming in every single day. Get some skills to make your own build, or just keep it quiet.
Beggars can't be choosers. And devs have way better things to do, than accommodating clown's request, thanks.

If this is too difficult for you or not going fast enough, please feel free to sell all that you have on poloniex right now and never come back. Go cry and complain like a french girl somewhere else, thanks.

It's certainly a hack although unrelated to XCP. The hack was done exploiting a weakness in BTC withdrawal implemented by Poloniex. I don't know the extent of the loss but it has been reported that it is 12% of all Poloniex had. Busoni has done two things
1. Reduced everyone's balance by 12% because he does not have the funds to cover the theft.
2. Raised trading fees to 1.5%

This will result in the volumes running away from Poloniex to other exchanges. Why would you want to pay 1.5% when you could pay 8 times less elsewhere?
Unfortunately this means that XCP trades will slowdown as its the one and only exchange.

I know this sentiment has been raised a number of times before, but the counterwallet cannot come sooner along with XCP backed DEx trades.
 

Can the devs please build 6.3 for windows??!??!

I've installed python and I'm trying to install all the other dependencies but I just get the error "Python 3.3 needs to be installed, not found in registry" or "Python 3.2 needs to be installed, not found in registry".

I installed fucking python 3.2, 3.3, and 3.3.4. None of this helps.

Come the hell on

Even acknowledging that this is 100% his fault, he is just holding hostage ALL BTC accounts, this is crazy.

Well, the guinea pigs wanted to be on an half-ass exchange and be in a pool with 4532 shitcoins, here you go.

is it still possible to transfer xcp from poloniex?!?!?! busoni I'm disappointed. Everyone should just use the DEX already, this is ridiculous.

poloniex = mtgox 2.0

More details here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btc-stolen-from-poloniex-499580

The costs of running a centralized exchange are going up.

All coins trading has been stopped due to the security issue of poloniex platform. Not related to XCP.

Not related to XCP.

I don't see any suspicious transactions on the exchange address. Can anyone confirm.

At this point it only seems like a rumor.
