I would like to place an order to buy XCP for BTC on testnet. What am I doing wrong? I also tried with --testcoin.

Code:
./counterpartyd.py --testnet --bitcoind-rpc-user testnet --bitcoind-rpc-password yourpassword order --from=n1v3BW77pRG4qEf66rKR2ESd5MjdELMmv3 --get-quantity=1 --get-asset=XCP --give-quantity=0.001 --give-asset=BTC --expiration 10
Starting new HTTP connection (1): localhost
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./counterpartyd.py", line 541, in
    args.expiration, fee_required, fee_provided)
  File "/home/projects/bitcoin/coloredcoins/counterparty/counterpartyd/lib/order.py", line 31, in create
    return bitcoin.transaction(source, None, None, fee_provided, data, test)
  File "/home/projects/bitcoin/coloredcoins/counterparty/counterpartyd/lib/bitcoin.py", line 294, in transaction
    transaction = serialise(inputs, destination_output, data_output, change_output, multisig=multisig, source=source)
  File "/home/projects/bitcoin/coloredcoins/counterparty/counterpartyd/lib/bitcoin.py", line 175, in serialise
    secret_exponent, compressed = wif_to_tuple_of_secret_exponent_compressed(private_key_wif)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages/pycoin/encoding.py", line 183, in wif_to_tuple_of_secret_exponent_compressed
    raise EncodingError("unexpected first byte of WIF %s" % wif)
pycoin.encoding.EncodingError: unexpected first byte of WIF cMpVuTUa4LUYSTkcCr2khEVsgDq7BgQN2i3WyYfHV8QEHTBxovDE


Here is the from address:
Code:
n1v3BW77pRG4qEf66rKR2ESd5MjdELMmv3
+-------+--------------+
| Asset |   Balance    |
+-------+--------------+
|  BTC  |  0.0094828   |
|  XCP  | 134.83222274 |
+-------+--------------+

Also, I'm glad this is testnet, because I wonder did the pycoin.encoding.EncodingError error I pasted above expose secret material?

Any idea where is the API doc?

The official docs don't seem to include this page anymore:

I have sent 1BTC to the address 1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr, and it has been confirmed. But it is shown in http://www.counterparty-explorer.com/ "error: not confirmed yet“. Anyone know the reason. What should I do? Thanks.

You'll get it after 1 confirmation

my address is 1DY1Wy8ojR4NNBvPSYyKm4MyJGSoT3XyDi, and the transaction has been confirmed more than 40 times. I sent the BTC 24 hours ago. I do not know what is wrong with it.

Blockscan shows you already have the XCP. counterparty-explorer is probably lagging

I had that problem also at one point. Try in counterpartyd.conf rpc-port=4000. That worked for me and it might work for you.

Thanks, did it rescan all the blocks since block 278k? After I change port, it seems like I have to wait for it to catch up to the latest block.
I don't remember. I don't think it did but I wouldn't rule it out happening

After installing counterpartyd on Windows,

when I try to run it, I get this error:
====
C:\Users\Owner>cd C:\counterpartyd_build

C:\counterpartyd_build>C:\Python32\python.exe run.py server
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\counterpartyd_build\dist\counterpartyd\counterpartyd.py", line 397,
n
    int(config.RPC_PORT)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\counterpartyd_build\dist\counterpartyd\counterpartyd.py", line 400,
n
    raise Exception("Please specific a valid port number rpc-port configuration

Exception: Please specific a valid port number rpc-port configuration parameter

====

My bitcoin.conf looks like this

rpcuser=rpc
rpcpassword=rpcpw1234
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

=========
and

counterpartyd.conf

[Default]
bitcoind-rpc-connect=localhost
bitcoind-rpc-port=8332
bitcoind-rpc-user=rpc
bitcoind-rpc-password=rpcpw1234
rpc-host=localhost
rpc-port=
rpc-user=
rpc-password=xcppw1234

==

I have left counterpartyd.conf the default format, but If I add 8332 to rpc-port on counterpartyd.conf it seems like it adds all the blocks since the burn block. Is this normal?

Man, who is building blockscan.com ?  Massive props to you, it's really looking good.  There's even a way now for asset issuers to "claim" their asset (and presumably do things like add descriptions, etc.).

If you're interested in counterparty and have not yet checked out this site, I'd highly suggest taking a look.  I suspect it will only get better from here.  Amazing that counterparty already has an informational site that is beginning to rival blockchain.info in features after only a month.

Anyway, props to the dev of blockscan.com.  I'd suggest to anyone who can to leave a tip on the address at the bottom of the page there.

I am not a technical guy, but I know this project has a potential bump to bitcoin protocol application. We are happy to see that there are more and more bitcoin protocol application startups. Never think Bitcoin is just a kind of crypto-currency, bitcoin is more than a crypto-currency. Lots of application could be coming out above the protocol. I would like to list the potential project here:

MSC - Mastercoin, application on top of bitcoin protocol
Coloredcoins, application on top of bitcoin protocol
BTS - Bitshares, new application
NXT - Nextcoin, new application totally different than bitcoin
XCP - Counterparty, application on top of bitcoin protocol
eMu - eMunie, new application totally different than bitcoin
eTher - ethereum, application on top of bitcoin protocol
Zerocoin, new application totally different than bitcoin

If you know more, add to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428785.new#new

ether is from the ground up, it is not on top of bitcoin as far as i can tell

and PTS has it's own unique blockchain using proof of momentum hashing or whatever, BTS is not even out yet and how knows when it will be out.

NXTMSC has a gazillion one clone popped up right now since the price got pumped up so damn high for adding what socio-economic value exactly?
Fixed!
To be fair, XCP at most copied some of the ideas from MSC white paper, not its source code. There's no source code to copy anyway. NXT, on the other hand, published part of the source code, but there's no complete white paper yet. Nobody really know how its advanced features be implemented, or will and when they be implemented.
No argue on any of these!

I encourage everyone to make a donation, whatever the amount.

Yet I don't think any rules should be changed now.
Consider this project as an experiment =)

Dev could have set from the start that 1% of all the XCP created are donated to them for bounties.
Many people including me would probably had no problem with that.
The 1% being in XCP, for it to have value the dev should work at best for the project to success.
It was decided to lunch this project without forced donation.
So be it.
Up to everyone to give voluntarily.
Give BTC, give XCP, give skills, give help, give time, etc.
Give whatever you can/want. But give something.

As I said: it is an experiment in itself.
Can a monetary community project works well without huge founds for bounties?
Will the core dev be motivate long enough and keep working hard for the community?
Will the community build website, service, give time?
I hope so, I guess yes. We will see.

Thank you very much to all those who spend time for counterparty improvement.
May this project success and don't leave any investor on losses Wink

If you can give XCP its better to give XCP. If XCP is to stand on its own why are we even discussing giving donations in BTC? Developers should also be willing to accept and even prefer their own currency. Think of it as being paid in stock.

And as a good signal the developers have announced they'll accept XCP.

Yes, The project is totally depended on the developers and community,not on donation. The NXT only received 21BTC. But it has achieved a huge success.

NXT achieved a success (? still to be seen) thanks to a very limited initial distribution that created a shortage, which caused all the early investors and these who bought it initially, to repeatedly promote NXT to anyone possible, which seen the valuations jumping in progressive fashion.

The case will be different here as anyone who wanted has bought it, and the most possible route I see, is gradual acceptance of the technology by the financial and crypto world. This will in turn create a real and long-lasting value of the XCP technology.
