So I lost an XCP that I had purchased due to a bitcoin blockchain reorg.

That's odd... Are you sure it's not just delayed? Which transactions were involved?

This created the order: 7537e9dc8febdd67ce505255db72be571f39ff0d8735ff7c7c2ce9fba9c4df08

Then there was a match for 1 XCP of the order

f4d4c35493d5b2d4615f3abb8556a2fbec2d5084824b9b10d4aded0cb0ac0ec8

Then I had 1 XCP at 1M3wvBm31kVJkzA5A2KwhWws7YGq9AYsKv

Then counterpartyd server console said blockchain reorg.

Now I have no XCP

Hello Boyz!

Need some ideas plz...


Cant get it burning my money  Grin


I type on Windows cmd.exe:

run.py burn --from=ADDRESS --quantity=AMMOUNT

It says:
Confirm? (y/N)

I type y

It says:
Transaction aborted.

What am I doing wrong, any ideas?



Are you putting a space or something before the 'y'? Are you using an alternative keyboard layout? Try running with the option '--unsigned', and tell me what counterpartyd then prints out.

I think I tried everything, also w/o spaces and uppercase. In the meantime I burned using blockchain.info which worked fine.
If I will do more, Ill try using your proposal with '--unsigned'. Thank you!

someone answered above: "Send XCP from an address with XCP burned to another address". but how to I access the address with XCP burned?

By using the counterparty client

This will help you set it up.  - http://counterpartyd-build.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

If you are looking for a more user friendly client then you will have to wait until it is released.

THANK YOU

Can somebody explains more about the features that we see here:  http://counterparty.co/about/
I am an engineer but a newbie in cryptocurrency and related concepts. I think the first step for Counterparty adoption is to explain the features and benefits in simple way that anyone understands.


The wiki will have a page on use-cases which should often be updated, as we expect to discover uses beyond those we've already we've already thought of.

For now, is there some specific question you had regarding what is on the our 'About' page?

Thank you for your response.
I think a wiki page can solve the problem.
I think some examples of the features can help me get the idea better. like how counterparty work, or what is the user asset , etc.

A question: my antivirus is blocking access to/warning about the blockscan site. This only began to occur in the last few days. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks.

From what I see this report is stemming from WOT at https://www.myywot.com/en/scorecard/blockscan.com . There are reports stemming back from 2009?? However, I only registered the domain last year and have only actively used this year. So my best bet is the domain might have been registered in the past by someone else and perhaps used for other purposes.

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=blockscan.com

There does not appear to be way to report false positives but I did leave a comment on WOT

Cheers

Thanks. It looks like McAfee has the URL blacklisted:

http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/blockscan.com

I've already contacted WOT to report the false positive and it does appear that they have acknowledged this and reset the ratings.

If you would like to help you may also report the false positive where applicable

cheers

It seems to have worked as I am no longer receiving a block or warning! Great work on the explorer btw!

I'd appreciate someone that can answer/ or direct to an answer:

I have 2 addresses from which 1BTC each was burned.

These are blockchain.info addresses to which XCP was attributed on the blockscan

I understand that it is possible to unite them into one address. BUT HOW? is there an XCP wallet from which I can do this? it doesnt obviously show in blockchain. what's the process to "access" the XCP balance and unite it

someone answered above: "Send XCP from an address with XCP burned to another address". but how to I access the address with XCP burned?

Thank you.

"block 278310, which should appear in a few hours; it will end with block 283810" is quoted on page one. But it also states burn period is 5000 blocks.

But this period is 5500 blocks.

What we need as a community to expand adoption
a) A WebSite -> www.counterparty.co
b) An easy to use intuitive GUI -> in progress bounty on Feb 14th
c) Block Explorer -> http://blockscan.com/
d) Information material -> PDFs, info graphics, short videos etc... explaining the end user use cases etc....

Counterparty peeps.

I heard about Counterparty on Coindesk.  I am looking to understand what are the big needs for this protocol as it is launched.

 I am interested in helping organize community and devteam bounties so that once the burn period ends, there will be ways to get more participation to building solutions for this awesome idea.  Are there community members currently already helping organize bounties for various new or high-demand features?

I'm new so please go easy on me, but I definitely want to be helpful. Yes, I have burn some moneys already

Awesome, we really appreciate the initiative. becherovka is starting to organize things at the bounty level starting shortly here. Perhaps you and he could work together on this. I'll let him either comment on this thread, or you guys can get in touch via PM.

We also just put up a wiki on the counterparty.co site (I have to finish setting up the permissions for it).  If there are any community members that want to help make content for the wiki, feel free to contact cityglut (solid writing skills would be a must here, obviously).

Thank you Xnova. I will PM this becherovka and I will continue to reach out and make comments with the community here. I'm happy to be welcomed so warmly.

I will start with some ideas for getting a swarm to work on the Wiki.

Let's see how it goes!

Apologies for speaking too soon. Actually, after speaking with the team, the best person for you to reach out to would be cityglut. He'll be overseeing official bounties (and tracking community bounties), at least based on the current plan. You and he can decide how to best work together. Sorry for the confusion.


No worries. It's good to learn the right person involved. I will definitely get involved with cityglut and learn more of what he expects.

I'd appreciate someone answering the following 3 questions:

1) In the XCP blockscan balances the highest address has 6000+ XCP. How is it possible if there can be no more than 1BTC per address burned and the maximum reward was 1500XCP per 1BTC?

2) As to the burn instructions using blockchain.info: just to make sure I understood: say I want to burn 1BTC- is it recommended to open a brand new address with 1BTC and send to the XCP address? and than minus the fee the actual burn will be 0.999BTC for whatever XCP?

3) Lastly, what happens after the last block is burned? will the XCP balances sent to the address from which the BTC came? (I understand that it is the same as BTC as far as the blockchain.info is concerned? in other words-- how will an ïnvestor receive his XCP?

Thank you in advance.  



[1] One can send XCP now, so the individuals with more than 1500+ just consolidated multiple burns into one address.
[2] That's true. If you want to burn the full 1BTC you should start with an address with 1.0001 BTC. Then send the 1 BTC (plus the 0.0001 miners fee) to the address - 1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr. Just take your time and follow the instructions exactly.
[3] The XCP are almost immediately attributed to the BTC addresses from which they came. The individuals in point [1] have already received their XCP and are sending/spending them already.
As for answer 3 above: I burned a BTC successfully a couple of hours ago and it shows on the burned log with a confirmation for 1000+ XCP. How did those that unified their XCPs do it? (if someone can unite few addresses with XCP it means that the balance should show within his address. so i understand. is there an XCP wallet?

Send XCP from an address with XCP burned to another address. This has been explained mutliple times (should probably have a FAQ on this, devs; I'll write one if need be)



Thank you. sorry I am new to this: but how do I enable sending "XCP burned to another address" (or can you direct me to a link where this was already explained)? I have my BTC wallet on blockchain but wont see XCP balance there obviously, just on the CP bloackscan. How do i connect XCPs to my wallet? much appreciated
