Self-contained Windows builds for the JahPowerBit GUI client can be found in this thread:

Note that they are still in alpha. I would greatly appreciate your feedback (especially, does it install properly on 64-bit Windows? No DLL errors?) so I can improve future builds.

Who still needs help setting up counterpartyd ? I'm 100% trustworthy and willing to help

Its commendable that the community does not mind higher trading charges on the centralized exchange Poloniex to help Busoni recover some of the lost BTC.
The community largely consists of people already sold on the virtues of XCP, many of whom have participated in PoB and the rest have joined in shortly. Charging them 2.5% for their sell orders is perfectly fine because they understand the project, its protocol exploit issue that caused the mayhem and the loss it caused and as a community it seems the best way to help recoup losses.
However, I believe those joining the community have neither the involvement nor the understanding of the community. Therefore they are less likely to be sympathetic and pay a hefty commission to buy some XCP.
This will result in
1. Lower trade volumes @ Poloniex (we averaged 200+ BTC a day before the exploit)
2. Once the GUI wallet is stable result in better volume on the DEX.
I really hope this works out for Poloniex, they have maybe 1 or 2 weeks before gui wallets are more stable to use and a web wallet is out. If 2.5% does not work then maybe lower to 1% or charge 2.5% to sellers and not the buyers.

someone explain why and when a normal person off the street will use counterparty.
Thanks.
Thanks.
They won't. This isn't dogecoin. Nobody will be able to buy a sandwich with xcp. XCP is used for decentralized trading, DACs, Betting, Contracts,
IPOs, Dividend payments wall st stuffs
I thought that was what mastercoin did
Some of the more advanced use cases for XCP will be targetting Wall St and institutional investors. However, for the small investor, XCP offers trustless betting, spread betting, ownership of shares in assets. You can also use XCP to protect yourself say in the value of BTC going down against USD. Who wouldn't want that?
Regarding the overlap of functionality between Mastercoin and Counterparty, that is where the similarity starts and ends. Counterparty is here developed for the community. Not to line the pockets of the developers. Read about how Mastercoin inflates their currency to 'pay the developers'. Read how the developers of Counterparty are funding everything themselves and not asking for a handout.

Developers: The API has changed a decent amount in the newest updates to the develop branch. This includes several enhancements, function name changes, changes in semantics, etc.
Please check out the updated API documentation at: http://counterpartyd.readthedocs.org/en/develop/API.html

hi busoni can you consider this suggestion: all the accounts should be unsuspended(group of people assume all the liability of the entire incident), with limitations placed on withdrawls, but allowing them to view all the information and trade . that also increase the income to you website from trading fee
i think this solution can make those suspended account more active and contribute more fees. February 23, 2014, 02:10:45 AM

Just did a test transaction...sell of 5.75 XCP...works like a charm! Awesome work devs and Busoni!
February 23, 2014, 01:18:25 AM
The amount of BTC owed to people is recorded, and I will pay it off gradually, starting with the 35 BTC left behind by the hacker.
busoni, an idea, for transparency, Please publish a list of users with stolen BTC and how much they are missing!
So we can verify you are "on the same page" and everyone know what is going on.
To protect privacy you can post SHA256 of their email along with Amount BTC lost,
So for example my email was "[email protected]" I could go to www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator
and figure out my hash, then find on list:
user hash / amount btc missing due to hacker:
973dfe463ec85785f5f95af5ba3906eedb2d931c24e69824a89ea65dba4e813b 3.2 BTC
Again, so we see you have us listed, how much is lost. And also everyone sees progress, maybe post weekly update. it is "too abstract" now not transparent enough. Thank you. I know you are frustrated and trying your best, you have all my sympathy!

When do we expect a simple non-technical person's GUI that will allow access to the burned XCPs without having to run a command line?
I was just wondering the same thing. I think you and I may have to wait for the web wallet =(

We haven't heard from the attacker in a long time now, and it looks as though he's not going to return any of the funds he stole from Poloniex. We have made our recommendations to busoni as to what he should do, and the decision is up to him.
So will you and Busoni kindly Release:
- the address used that 80 stolen BTC were sent to;
- the text of emails exchanged between you and the hacker + email headers;
- the email address he used on poloniex;
- the nick name he used in poloniex;
- the IP address used in poloniex;
So we can try to track this man down!
February 23, 2014, 12:55:26 AM
Uy. JUST figured it out. One of those stupid things where I didn't see an extra argument. I still had to add a method to the API, but at least it works now.
February 23, 2014, 12:51:58 AM
I withdrew 230 XCP about 20 min ago, still not showing on blockscan. I'm not trying to be a pest, just curious if anyone knows if withdraw is working and how long it will take on average. If you are upset by my question, just hit ignore.
Busoni said earlier that the command to send XCP has changed in the latest version of the protocol. I'm guessing he's still waiting on an answer from the devs? I'm also curious.
The API completely changed; it seems you can't "do" anything anymore, just "create" things. So, I can create a raw transaction, but if I try to send it, Bitcoin rejects it. Sending from the command line works fine.
I'm not sure how the devs expected deposits and withdrawals to work after they changed the API so much.
February 23, 2014, 12:40:43 AM
Ok I hope my 230 XCP didn't get withdrawn into the ether, no pun intended.. I guess that wasn't even a good pun, but yeah, any devs wanna chime in ? This is why we should have a super active IRC. Communication would really fix all this.
@Busoni - Just asking a question here, no hostility whatsoever, you rock, IMHO.
I withdrew 230 XCP, and my XCP Balance went to 0 on Poloniex and about 30 min later my XCP balance shows 16.39950001.
Any idea what that is about. And please if I missed an explanation already touching on this, no flaming please. If this is a stupid question just don't answer it.

busoni and poloniex are scam?
No, they aren't. The Counterparty protocol was hacked. Read the last 30 pages before you call people scammers.
This is ridiculous!
Check the aftermath on the github develop branch. As a result the project's added a pretty insane level of validation to patch the bug in question, as well as address all sorts of other theoretical attacks. Failure is what makes success...
