Lets everyone burn at least 1-5% of invested moneys and im sure its pay back later with XCP value.

Reasonable preposition, but we need an easier way to send XCP.

Yes, hope coming soon. But if you have money to burn so its forever gone, you sure have small part of that also for donations and later for XCP donations when its possible.. We must show for devs we have invest money and want help them build system also. Now there even no have money for wiskey, snacks and beer what go when working with project weeks after weeks Grin

There is now burned total 1341 BTC that is over $1.1 million. BTC donations is $611. It is 0.05% of all burned BTC. Not possible lets raise that at least to $11k what is 1%, before we can donate XCP. If you have BTC to risk and burn for over 10k XCP you have sure one BTC for donations also? If you have lower amount donate what you can. I even dont have, but this donation situation looks so sad, that I sold huge part of my other alts (QRK, MEC,TAG) investments and start and send 1BTC donation. I have enough XCP to pay it back later if this project success and im sure my XCP what i hold have better possibility in long run than my other alts what I just sold.

Lets everyone donate at least 1-5% of invested moneys and im sure that pay back later with XCP value.

I see someone else also donate after my 1btc donation $83 so we have now donate together total 0.13% of burned moneys.  Lets doing BTC donations now and maybe devs have enough money to pay web page developers etc what ever need money to make XCP success!



We are looking for community contributions of testing, bug reports, patches, and companion software (e.g. built around counterpartyd). We are also asking for donations of BTC and XCP to 12J1YFvsWHDCU5HNAWNLNy1Q9nZo8Q4Xgs, which funds will be used to issue bounties for the development of the project.

Thanks. I read about the block. When will that roughly be?
We are at block 281389 now, so 2421 more blocks to go. A block should be solved every 10 minutes but it probably will take only 8-9 minutes on average. So the burn period should last about 2 more weeks.

The OP says something about the end of the presale. Can the end be predicted more precisely by now?
Did someone make an easy description about how to buy some XCP or is the one in the OP the easiest? Smiley
Is it know how many btc have been burned yet for XCP?


burning ends on block 283k. you can see how many btc were burned by checking

https://blockchain.info/address/1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr

Thanks. I read about the block. When will that roughly be?
And to claim XCP do I have to install the CXP client or is it enough to keep the btc address I sent it from?

Please note that the counterpartyd and counterpartyd_build code has been relicensed under the terms of the MIT license (it used to be Unlicense/public domain before).

The MIT license is the same license that Bitcoin itself uses (and is still very much open source). This won't really impact anyone, except for folks wanting to make a fork or use some of the Counterparty code. If this is done now, there will need to be a small attribution/copyright notice placed in the forked code that refers to the original Counterparty team. That's all.

he who has the gold makes the rules
if you put in fees, someone will just fork your code and lower the fee Smiley

welcome to open source

Right now transaction fees are ~20 cents, and the average (American) vocabulary is approximately 10,000 words, so it would only cost ~$2000 for someone to buy every single asset name - certainly, in any case, all the attractive asset names. The fee has to be large enough to prevent this from happening.

The Counterparty team does not want to implement fees, but the peculiarity of the circumstance makes it necessary. It also follows, however, that every fork will have this same problem, and thus will also have to implement fees.

this is how a monopolist thinks.

Something like this would work:

C:\counterpartyd>python counterpartyd.py send --from 1Fz5idgemYfsszRMmaQNd2Anvm2JytAoU --to 12J1YFvsWHDCU5HNAWNLNy1Q9nZo8Q4Xgs --quantity 1 --asset XCP
Confirm? (y/N) y
"0783dd6b65303b54b72cbc632f17f6c13e9e9550f2b3fb96270d997cf85a6dce"

Obviously, replace my address w/ yours.

Make sure you already unlocked your bitcoin wallet with walletpassphrase, of course.

Look for the 1 XCP tip in the next few blocks.

I'm happy to donate, I just don't understand how to send XCP to an address. :/ .....safely!

Devs, any idea?

Also, it would be great to add the donation address to blockscan.com, so everyone could see how much donated and what the balance is.

+1


+2

Me too. I'd like to donate some XCP by sending them from my blockchain wallet

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.

Announcement: The develop branch of counterparty now specifies that 5 XCP is destroyed in all future asset issuances (after block 281235 281236). If we decide to make this official, the fixed amount will be temporary, and should be determined by a distributed, proof-of-stake voting system as soon as possible.

Very nice and simple solution!  Or have 1 XCP be sent to the 1CounterpartyIssuanceXXXX address or something to keep it consistent. Smiley

A thought I had about the future danger of BTC miners blocking the XCP transactions - what if we provide XCP as miners fee?
The fee might be relational to what BTC currently takes (0.0001) vs XCP total volume, 0.00001 for example.

Provided XCP raises in value, this will motivate miners to allow it through their systems and get paid for that, in addition to regular BTC fee.

After some thoughts I think this may be an even better solution.  Could we send the destroyed XCP to the BTC miner's coinbase address?

It would provide a nice incentive for miners to process these XCP transactions over other protocols.  A simple soultion that may even be better than the current merged mining.


BTW, mad genius whoever is behind this project!  My humble respect for starting a project in the spirit of bitcoin.
