btw what's up with the change in the asset names adding an extra random letter on blockscan?

My LOVE asset is now LOVEE, and ROSE became ROSEV Cry

also this sell order later became invalid, even though it was initially valid? any reason why?

Welcome to the other side Dom Tongue

I also noticed MPTSTOCK became MPTSTOCKF.

~~But your order expired. Set your expiration to a higher number of blocks.~~

Haha it's all the same side to me. Don't let the govt mole convince you otherwise.

There's now a maximum expiration time of two months for all orders and bets.

Is there a way to reconcile the situation? Or are my bitcoins irrecoverable due to the bug?

I would hope that the sellers who benefitted from this bug will send the XCP to their buyers, realizing that in order for the rest of their XCP to appreciate in value early buyers shouldn't feel scammed.

I'll try to make a list of all affected accounts:

BTCPay out:

1Mf2abNSv7jzwsjgkrf2k3LTMyEw96Us3H
1AQPf7f3y37NN9XsYkfGGALHQiW1ig3MXb
1EEwWVYaSF2QUsv3nMz8h5uGifHiuza485

BTCPay mistakenly received:

1GbkV2QgQ2jqHk8yjgcdwEMfLC1Y6oGSMF - 0.4 - 250 XCP not delivered to 1Mf2abNSv7jzwsjgkrf2k3LTMyEw96Us3H
1JBp8tdzwzo5VKcKpg1QHKbYP2sKDNWGnk - 0.11 - no XCP orders
17PgVzRSSSjc2aN8Lyp1x9QayKzPzY2pKj - 0.65 - no XCP orders

If you lost BTC due to this bug, PM me and the Counterparty team will reimburse you the XCP you were supposed to have purchased (if the seller will not do this himself). This does not mean that we will reimburse everyone who loses money due to bugs in this software in the future.

This is a very specific kind of bug that appeared because of the interaction of some rounding issues with Bitcoin transactions, which of course are irreversible in the Counterparty protocol. Also, we let the master branch fall too far behind the develop branch, so the problem was not fixed as quickly as it might have been. The rounding errors have been fixed permanently and properly, so the likelihood of a similar bug causing loss of funds is unlikely. Of course, this is still alpha software, so use your discretion.

Very noble of the devs for such a move. This is the type of project that gets my support.

Later I'll be donating the trade that was supposed to be made to the bounty fund.

What happened in block 284193? Last night I sent XCP between accounts, following which the error occured.

I have now updated via git pull and it is now creating a new database. Did this affect everyone, or just me?

Status: RESTART
Status: Database and client minor version number mismatch (0 ≠ 7).
Status: Reparsing all transactions.
Status: Database minor version number updated.
Status: NEW DATABASE
Block: 278270

I got the same thing. I'm guessing they made a major change with the rounding issue or the misplaced XCP.

The reddit page registered by the Counterparty Team is reddit.com/r/counterparty_xcp

Important clarification:reddit.com/r/counterparty was not registered by the Counterparty team; it was registered by prophetx, who is the communications lead for Mastercoin; reddit.com/r/xcp was also not reigstered by the Counterparty team, and both of its moderators appear to be associated with Mastercoin, as well.

There appears to be some scam artists among the mastercoin team.

I know the owner of the http://www.reddit.com/r/xcp subreddit. I'm sure he'll turn it over if you message him, he's no scam artist.

Is there an API url to directly get the last DEX order match? I am going to put in a request to get added on coinmarketcap.com Grin

Yes, we probably need an JSON / REST based API for the latest sale price on the DEX.

Issue:
XCP not returned from escrow after cancellation of Order

http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=17PgVzRSSSjc2aN8Lyp1x9QayKzPzY2pKj

a) I placed a sell order for 250 XCP order
b) the order was matched by the engine, but the buyer did not make any payment yet.
c) I cancelled the order
d) I did not receive back the XCP from escrow

The Balance should be: 1432-400-200-200=632
Instead it is 382 XCP and 250 from Escrow is missing.

I know there was similar issue not sure what the resolution for that was. (I am on the latest build).

Thanks to the developers for fixing this in such short notice. I have my funds back and everything is working fine.

I remember to have read somewhere (must have been somewhere within this topic because I cant find it in the OP) that people are responsible themselves to do x (don't remember what that term was; maybe "activate", "import"?) with their XCP when y (some kind of launch?) is announced.

You see that I dont have much of a clue anymore what I read there

Just dont wanna miss anything.
Bottomline question: Can I just hold my XCP (burned with blockchain.info wallet) for ever/month and do nothing without having to worry about anything?

Yes, you can hold them in your block chain wallet. You only need to export/import private keys into Bitcoin-QT when you need to spend XCP or make transactions on it.

I created an order then sent bitcoins after seeing an order-match ID, however the order seems to have expired anyway. I received no XCP from this trade according to Blockscan.

http://blockscan.com/order.aspx?q=3251

The expiration was set to 15, however the bitcoins were sent within 4 blocks.

Can anyone assist?

What branch are you using?

I used git to clone what I believe is the master branch. Prior to this trade yesterday I updated due to the bug with block 284193.

There are a few btcpays to invalid order match ids according to blockscan:
http://blockscan.com/btcpay.aspx

The bitcoins were definitely transacted...confirmed by blockchain.info.

Bump to this. I sold the XCP for that order, and did not get the BTC intended for the BTCpay. I don't know what account that BTC was sent to.

Another BTC sell order from that same order successfully processed though, so my order does work. Problem seems to be in the BTCpay matching.

The issue seems to be that order matches that existed in master didn't exist in develop, due to the recent changes in the rounding algorithms. I've updated master now.

Thanks. Since this (I believe) resulted in actual BTC lost by one or more parties, would it be advisable for all parties to manually reconcile these transactions? Of course this being bitcoin I can't force anyone to do anything.

Is there a way to reconcile the situation? Or are my bitcoins irrecoverable due to the bug?

I would hope that the sellers who benefitted from this bug will send the XCP to their buyers, realizing that in order for the rest of their XCP to appreciate in value early buyers shouldn't feel scammed.

According to jimhsu, he was the counterparty of the trade, but didn't receive my bitcoins. (Jimhsu, did you lose your XCP also?)

So are my bitcoins irrecoverable due to the bug?

No, I got my XCP back after order expiration matched, but your BTCPay was not sent to me. I was not harmed nor the beneficiary of any of these transactions.

For those new to this discussion: This bug has been fixed in latest versions of develop and master.
