counterparty.co was and is not ready for release, and that is why we didn't let the community know about it. Whoever wrote that article did not try to get in touch with anyone on the Counterparty team. If it had been up to us, we would have referred them to the actual protocol, as opposed to our very much incomplete website.

You can already access a basic live orders list from http://blockscan.com/order.aspx

Cheers
You can see the order.
You cannot do anything about them from this webpage.

That 'TypeError: unorderable types: str() < int()' bug in the market functionality has just been fixed.

Will more coins be generated after the burn period ? and how ? in what rate ? What is the total number of the coins ?

No coins will be generated after the burn period.

The total number of coins depends on the number of BTCs burned during the period.

ACtually, if I can get some instructions to check balance or send under command line interface in WIndows that would be great.

Using the instructions in the document I burned BTC easily but still can't figure out to check balance or send.

My bad, the address in blockchain is indeed:
https://blockchain.info/address/12J1YFvsWHDCU5HNAWNLNy1Q9nZo8Q4Xgs

Nice to see the donations starting to flow there!

Yeah, but it's still not much. Around 0,2% of the burned amount...

The link SyRenity posted is not the official donation address. You can find the official donation address in the OP.

Noticing a tick up in <1 BTC burns (the stock analogy would be odd-lot trades) the past few days. Increasing public awareness of the XCP idea?

Nice observation!


Though unfortunately the donations are still near 0:
https://blockchain.info/address/19QX5WBkkaUXAZ4HZrNtPtjPsakGG2co8H

Let's hope the community will at least start donating XCP's, otherwise everyone may end up sitting on a pile of useless bits and bytes.

What is this address?  I was going to make a BTC donation to 12J1YFvsWHDCU5HNAWNLNy1Q9nZo8Q4Xgs which I thought was the official donation address.  The donations are a bit paltry at the moment, would like to show my support, but I imagine as soon as a reliable windows installer and GUI are developed the XCP donations will start pouring in.  Now I'm no tech idiot, but as soon as I see the phrases "compile from source" and "command-line interface", I say "nope" and turn right around.  I imagine it is the same for many who burnt XCP.

Don't get me wrong, not telling PhantomPhreak and xnova to work faster, they have made impressive progress already. Just saying if the development team is discouraged by the lack of community support by way of funding, I imagine that will change quickly as soon as the project gets that far.

Actually, burning real money is illegal in China, just like in most countries. But certainly nobody cares if you are not burning millions. Smiley
Burn 10$, it's a crime.
Burn 1'000'000$, it's statistic Grin

Am I the only one having problem with the decentralized market?
I get this error:
Code:
counterpartyd market

Open Orders
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: unorderable types: str() < int()
I updated from git right now.
I already got a similar error 2 days ago. ('needed a break, didn't reported ASAP)

For XCP value to increase faster:
A centralized exchange could be a big plus (need easiness for the "mainstreamer").
An intuitive GUI could be enough (but it force the "mainstreamer" to have a full bitcoind running, with txindex=1)

edit:

Where at least the exchange BTC -> XCP would be made extremely easy.
Such as "send 0.005BTC here" to cover the fee [of the webmaster account] for matching an order.
Then when matched, "send xBTC there" corresponding to btcpay_ID, which finalize the transaction.
So that if someone new - buy with close to zero knowledge - wish to buy XCP, he can use this intermediary service.
Just need to send 2 time BTC and it's done for him.
Or webmaster can think about a % fee. User need only one transaction.
Send x BTC somewhere, get y XCP minus fee.
Easiness = good for market value.

Would it be a good idea to try to keep this coin on the DL until after the burn period is over?

We can all keep it hush and try to keep the thread bumping and promoting at a minimum until the burn is over.
yes, except that there is already 1,400+ BTC burnt.
So.... cats out of the bag. This will not be another NXT moneymaking bonanza.

I could be wrong usually & normally I am

I highly Doubt XCP will remain inexpensive much longer
after the proof of burn process is completed.

XCP among one of the top most anticipated BTCitcoin
2.0 projects of the year..

innovations/ D'ex functionality all within itself may just be the
leading contributing factor to its success & longivity.

If XCP are shaped, formed or fashioned after
MSC in anyway or remotely better then is it not safe to say

XCP could very easily rise in price naturally without hype.

a well diversified CryptoPortfolio may include some
of the leading BTCitcoin 2.0 decentralized peer2peer trustless
projects (MSC, XCP, PTS, Etheruem)

2014 may be a very interesting year.

It seems there is more money to be made in scammy altcoins and promise-to-do-something protocols than the actual thing..-- Nevertheless in terms of a protocol/currency being adopted the later has much better chances (even if the devs do not get super rich from it).
Regarding PoS and asset issuance: while it would be tenable to have a PoS multi-sig requirement for asset issuance, I'm not sure it would be altogether fair. Basically a big stake owner in XCP could still issue as many assets as he would like, and low stake owners would have to scramble,if only to enable the use of a certain feature inherent to the protocol.  I think asset balance maintenance is significantly more solid - say .5 btc (200xcp) is not that much to maintain one's own asset for accounting purposes (even if its just for internal bets/accounts between a limited number of people), (and if someone has 50000 xcp sure let them make 100 assets it still won't enable them to monopolize available asset names, and it will commit their funds to non-liquidity, the later only being reasonable if they have a real use for these assets.


Whatever XCP balance were required to maintain an asset name could just be made a fee to purchase the asset name. Having to keep 200 XCP at an address in order to maintain ownership of an asset name is tantamount to paying a 200 XCP fee for that asset name. Asset names can, moreover, be transferred to other addresses, and so one could theoretically transfer an asset to another address in exchange for XCP (or any other asset), but as this is not an atomic transaction, one would need to trust that the latter will send the XCP.

he who has the gold makes the rules
btw I just remembered that the Chinese give each other these red envelops with lucky money in the new year or leading up to the Chinese new year, and then they burn it I think... I'm not Chinese so I don't really know how it works.

I know it was not the original intent of this project to burn, but I thought how ironic that the burn would end around the Chinese new year.  


No, Chinese will use the lucky money in the envelops. Chinese only burn fake money as an way to worship ancestors. These are two different things.

so the lucky money is real money then?

when do they burn the fake money?  
Yes, the lucky money is real money.

The fake money is burnt on Qingming (around 5th April), 7th month in lunar calendar, and other days, mostly for ancestors worship.

Actually, burning real money is illegal in China, just like in most countries.

cool thanks for the lesson
