I have set up an XCP buy/sell thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=445740.new#new

And here is the corresponding Google Doc order book which I will keep updated as quickly as I can:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArOlTj1IBke6dG1SRzRGRG5IQXpUV05XRFVGNlg0VGc#gid=0

Why not use counterparty? This makes no sense.

For vast majority of people, they dont have counterparty or they are not able to run counterparty
They just want to buy it on an exchange
If current market price within counterparty is .013, then as soon as there is external exchange it will go to .02 btc and above

0.0013

Wait you are saying 750 xcp per btc is available inside counterparty?
Does it run on mac notebook?

No mac support yet for counterpartyd, although the web wallet under development will obviously work with anything.

How much xcp is available at 750 per btc price? Would it be possible to do a manual transaction for it?

You can check it on blockscan.com: http://blockscan.com/order.aspx 2248 XCP now.

Anybody wiling to fill the trade and do escrow trade for me?

How about install Linux on virtual box in your Mac?

This looks good.

+1, from a designer.

The arrow motif is one that I think we should stick to.

I guess that your best bet is to use an old version for now. xnova usually handles the Windows support, and he should be able to fix the issue soon.

I've reverted that commit, of course.

Ok, No problem. I can wait

Thanks for the fast help.

I am rebuilding my windows environment so I can try to reproduce this. I suspect this is another unicode handling issue (cmd.exe has issues handling unicode).

At the dos prompt, try running the "powershell" command, and then launching counterpartyd. See if that fixes it.

It is. I put back in the Unicode ellipses. We probably should wrap the logger and print() with something that converts to another encoding. (Removing the ellipses isn't a solution, because broadcasts include arbitrary UTF-8 strings.)

Why not use counterparty? This makes no sense.

Because the counterparty exchange is command line based and requires download of the blockchain. It is easier for a newbie, to just confirm the transaction using www.blockscan.com.

I guess that your best bet is to use an old version for now. xnova usually handles the Windows support, and he should be able to fix the issue soon.

I've reverted that commit, of course.

Ok, No problem. I can wait

Thanks for the fast help.

To invest in XCP and Counterparty, switch Bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt and counterpartyd over to mainnet simultaneously. Use the command-line switch -testnet=0 with Bitcoind or remove any 'testnet=1' from the Bitcoind configuration file temporarily; then do the same for counterpartyd by both not using the --testnet flag and (again, temporarily) removing 'testnet=1' from counterpartd.conf.

Make sure that Bitcoind and the counterparty server are running, and then run ./counterparty --rpc-password=PASSWORD burn --from=ADDRESS --quantity=QUANTITY, where 'PASSWORD' is the password used to access Bitcoind's RPC interface, 'ADDRESS' is an address in your Bitcoind wallet with sufficient bitcoins, and 'QUANTITY' is the quantity of BTC that you would like to burn.

No more than 1 BTC may ever be burned by any address, and the number of XCP received per BTC is between 1000 and 1500, with more XCP being rewarded the earlier in the burn period the burn takes place. The burn period is 5000 blocks, starting today, and the reward bonus decreases linearly with block index.

To see how many BTC you have burned, and how many XCP you have earned, run ./counterparty --rpc-password=PASSWORD address ADDRESS.

Of course, you can burn Test BTC on testnet to have XCP to play with there.

To get a rough idea of how many BTC have been burned so far, see https://blockchain.info/address/1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr. Note that this page may show some false positives. You cannot just send bitcoins to that address with any client and expect to have them be properly burned. For more instructions on how to burn, e.g. with a Blockchain.info wallet, see Read The Docs.

The burn period is over. Try out the distributed exchange!

Great, the burn period is over now. It is funny, the last burn is also an advertisement.

Totally burned BTC: 2,130.83722537 BTC
Totally created XCP: 2,648,755.9218 XCP

As the developer mentioned: Try out the distributed exchange if you missed this period.

If GET_QUANTITY is the quantity of GET_ASSET you would like to receive

Shouldn't GET_ASSET be the asset you would like to receive (buy)?

That's correct.

It looks like the words "buy" and "sell" are mixed up in the help code you provided then.

I made the changes in red:

optional arguments:
  -h, --help show this help message and exit
  --from SOURCE the source address
  --get-quantity GET_QUANTITY
   the quantity of GET_ASSET that you would like to
   receive
  --get-asset GET_ASSET
   the asset that you would like to ~~sell~~ buy
  --give-quantity GIVE_QUANTITY
   the quantity of GIVE_ASSET that you are willing to
   give
  --give-asset GIVE_ASSET
   the asset that you would like to ~~buy~~ sell
  --expiration EXPIRATION
   the number of blocks for which the order should be
   valid
  --fee_required FEE_REQUIRED
   the miners' fee required to be paid by orders for them
   to match this one; in BTC; required iff buying BTC
   (may be zero, though)
  --fee_provided FEE_PROVIDED
   the miners' fee provided; in BTC; required iff selling
   BTC (should not be lower than is required for
   acceptance in a block)
$

Nice catch! Thanks.
