If I burn BTC using blockchain.com, how can I send the XCP from the blockchain to another address?

Since there is no win 32 installer provided, I am trying to learn to do this thing.
In OP its mentioned to use 'https://github.com/PhantomPhreak/counterpartyd.git' while in the document it mentions https://github.com/xnova/counterpartyd_build
Which one to use?

Thanks.
I am on the installing part, and doing
cd c:\
git clone https://.....
gives 'git is not recognised as an internal or external command .....
So I went into program files/git/cmd and then tried git clone ....
and it did something with quite a few messages which ended in 'clone suceeded, checkout failed'.

@PhantomPhreak
Hello,when I saw your XCP,I was surprised to find that it's characterized is very similar to my previous thoughts.
This is my postings at December 26.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4154105
Maybe a coincidence?
We don't know whether it was a coincidence.I am considering the issue of copyright.
Well,I see. The idea of "proof by burn" don't belong to me.What I mean is: some characteristics of counterparty is similar to my thoughts.
https://github.com/PhantomPhreak/counterpartyd
If you download the source code and have a good look, you will understand that the reason here people burnt more than 500 BTC was not just for some thoughts (like someone invested on Visacoin, Neon just based on some posts). This project is promising because the two developers have already spent a lot of efforts and have got concrete results. The system is working now on testnet already. It's not some vaporware stay in paper (let alone some projects, Visacoin and Neon again, don't even have a whitepaper).
BTW: you can see the initial commit was on 15 Dec. Therefore, they begun their work at least one month ago. Moreover, they don't gain any advantage (other than their insider confidence) over normal investors after so much hard working. Therefore, please show some respect to them and stop mentioning about your post again. It's clever for you to find the idea 'proof by burn' independently, but keep referring it as it was created by you does more harm than good to you.
haha,I'm not serious.Thank you for your explanation.
I actually hope that developers can employ my thoughts.

Sorry guys, looks I broke something again .... 
Apparently 100,000,000,000 is too big of a number for coins.
"I was just trying to recreate DOGE .... *slinks away*"
(Wow, how many bugfixes did I cause in github today? lol)
We should all thank you, better to break things now when there is still a disclaimer and everybody knows it is still alpha software and these things are expected. Apparently 100,000,000,000 is too big of a number for coins.

Absolutely. We encourage everyone to really mess around with the features and report any bugs that pop up. This will make the software better for all.

Guys, I modified the windows installer doc page a bit to list this warning:
I'll be updating the windows installer today or tomorrow, but it's still best to build from source for now.
Quote
Due to the current pace of counterpartyd development, at the current moment it is recommended that Windows users do not use the Windows installer, and instead follow the instructions in Building & Running from Source (which are really not that involved). The reason for this is because the Windows installer always lags current counterpartyd progress by a few days normally, and at this point in heavy development, this fact will most likely cause issues for its users. Building from source is the best way to keep up with the frequent updates.

I tried to adapt couterpartyd to use blockchain.info json-rpc API. Sadly, blockchain.info json-rpc API does not provide 'getrawtransaction'. It seems I have to install bitcoind in my poor VPS having only 20GB. 
Have you tried blockr.io (http://blockr.io/documentation/api) ?
cheers
sure
If you don't mind me asking which API are you using to retrieve your "pending confirmations" burn?
If someone is willing to write step by step instructions for this, I'd be happy to add it to the documentation as an alternative to using bitcoind.

I am having trouble with my internet connection while running counterparty. Especially when it is building the Database. Between the "Block: xxxx" i always get a "Could not connect to Bitcoinind." This shows up 5-10 times then it continues.
My Internet ist very slow and not reacting for a few seconds while running coutnerparty.
Anyone know why and may have a solution?

Is the "dividend" command already working? I'm trying to pay dividends to an asset I just created ("MAXM"), but the total amount is 0:
Am I missing something here?
Code:
./counterpartyd.py dividend --from=1B9S7nhAsQeGnU6DWqaMF1G2jamLSFNJkV --quantity-per-share=1 --share-asset=MAXM
Total amount to be distributed in dividends: 0.0
Am I missing something here?
There seems to be an error where only assets set to divisible can have dividends distributed.
Yup, and I fixed it just now. Thanks!

Still .. better that these things happen now than in the future, where things will seriously break.
Note: I would suggest a max cap, because no matter what datatype you use, someone could simply issue 999999999999999999999999999.... coins as an attack.
I haven't tested non-alphanumeric characters in the asset name yet -- is there support for that or will I crash something again?

Absolutely. Keep 'em comin'.
I fixed the code so that it will run, but this same problem may exist elsewhere, so hold off on re-creating the problem for another twenty-four hours, maybe.
Asset names should only be upper-case alphabetic, but the code should catch all violations of that rule.
So there will be a new windows installer based on the new git-pull?

How it possible to get some test XCP?
You can burn some test BTCs, or ask someone having test XCPs to send you some. January 15, 2014, 05:18:37 AM

It seems they've provided all the APIs I need to parse the counterparty balance. Just sent an email to ask for the request quota.
