.....cracks me up.....I'm a terrible person

ROFL

Actually, if he installed counterparty he might use the DEX...

Buy some from here: https://www.poloniex.com/exchange/btc_xcp

sounds exciting. I thought Israeli folks were all over mastercoin

Yes, Israeli hackathon was sponsored by Mastercoin as Bitcoin  2.0 projects. The guys has choose to implement it on XCP first (and then port to MSC) for some reason (I don't know why). One of their projects is to make broadcasts of altcoins prices to XCP network to make available bets. Some of their testings can be seen on blockchain...
The final project will be presented in hackathon in Texas this weekend. Until then they refuse give any details (competition, you know).
As well, about sport bets, they told is very problematic in regulation sphere (in Israel betting is forbbiden). There are rumors about some other anonymous team working on it.
I'm not directly connected to project, just know the guy leading it.
Donations are welcome (XCP or BTC): 149fnvJxu6QbW1hBgoijAx9VZ3dcNmzNP5

Hope they will come soon with something usefull. Something XCP so lack :-)

I actually installed a vault in my basement which is really cool. Can someone send me gold bars for test?



Jesus... Nothing is free in life, you want some and were too retarded to not burn some BTC in January ? Go to poloniex, thanks.

waiting for the gui wallet....

I actually installed XCP's client which is really cool. Can someone send me XCP for test?

We have made good progress this weekend on the new design with TheMightyX. Normally this week or next weekend I could publish.

Actually, I was trying to do the opposite of fearmongering, to quell some FUD, in fact..

Yes, it was removed and PhantomPhreak said it will be added back. It is in the develop branch.

There are many changes going through at the moment which is tightening security around the protocol. Security first. Same reason for forced updating. It will become less frequent as time passes.

Why the fearmongering

Sorry, yes, it does also poll github, I saw that but somehow did not make note of it. The page it polls is this:

https://raw2.github.com/PhantomPhreak/counterpartyd/master/versions.json

And just glancing through the code, it appears that the reason for this polling is to notify clients when an updated version of the client is available.

This seems reasonable to me.

Doesn't it poll the github account directly controlled by the dev also? not sure what all github allows them to see, but just those 2 sites is disappointing here.
Still glad we got the altcoin bump on this one, hope more investors jump in to pick up the slack.
Too bad that second exchange didn't open up. . .
all these changes to the burn fees for transactions makes the DEX hopeless for endusers and paying a central source for trading this altcoin brings us back to square one.

Great ideas though! A dev will surely figure out usable code to do altcoin DEXing eventually.

Kudos to the dev's for thinking this up, so simple of an idea, yet so requiring of coding skills to actually implement. . .

Also, it's easy to test how important this code is, just set a bogus IP for blockchain.info in /etc/hosts and run counterpartyd to see how functional it is without being able to access blockchain.

link to the code?

My perusal of the code shows the only site being hit is blockchain.info for address balances. I am not thrilled that this is in there, but I would be surprised if it is used for anything critical.

What's with theMightyX's interface, though? Still waiting for it...

Did they alter the CLI to remove the market function? They publish a changelog?

We've decided against recommending counterparty to investors due to the unstable nature of the critically required software releases (due to its "alpha" quality perhaps), the developers implementing code to open network connections to continually poll website/s (wtf?) while they refused to consider adding some simple features to allow DEX usability (ok, we get it, you don't want to implement our advice, but adding forced updating and http polling is unacceptable. . .)
For historical documentation our recomendations were compiled here: https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,71.0.html currently knocked to page 2 of that board due to non-interest of devs although the proposal was reviewed.
Why would you force people to update into new versions that continually establish a network connection to a specific site without explicitly informing users that the update does such new networking activities? https://github.com/PhantomPhreak/counterpartyd
WOW, very detailed changelog (professionals for sure!)
 Seems rather sketchy at best. . .

We are still selling counterparty through these 2 methods: https://moneypaktrader.com/?m=order&op=4


What exactly were you sending the coin for?
It matches a donation here: https://moneypaktrader.com/?m=order&op=4
But you're saying it was a mistake donation? Sent after the deadline (30 BTC came sooner in this case) for our 0.005 btc/xcp XCP giveaway?

We never controlled the spreadsheet but did post the terms (30 btc limit) for that promotion you reference. one person claimed the bulk of that promotion as you can see (transparently) in the blockchains.

I'm running the GUI wallet and did not have to re-index the blockchain again. If you already have a counterpartyd installation up and running, installing the GUI wallet is trivial.

Thanks! Waiting for webwallet.
