2FA needs a central server, so I don't know how it can be implemented in a decentralized system.

Is the bitcoin wallet the only thing that needs to be backed up? Does counterparty have its own wallet or other data that requires a backup?
Yes.BTC privkey or wallet.dat containing it is what give you access to your XCP.
Also, if I encrypt my Bitcoin-QT wallet. Will 'counterpartyd' still be able to work with it.
Yes of course. For example you are able to use this at any time to check your ballance, or someone elseCode:
counterpartyd wallet
counterpartyd address pubkey
But if you wish to burn, and certainly send, you need to unlock your BTC wallet before.counterpartyd address pubkey
Like that to unlock for 120sec:
Code:
(space)bitcoind walletpassphrase yourpassphrase 120
bitcoind walletlock
Don't forget the space, otherwise history of your pwd in clear is kept.bitcoind walletlock
It would be awesome if the dev are able one day to add 2FA-GA for XCP transaction.
That would make this project top 1 on security level.
Noticed: 80 BTC burned is less than 24h. Reached 230 in 5 days.
We probably gonna break the 1000 BTC / 1'000'000$.

Very interesting project. You mentioned the possibility of using the Counterparty Protocol with other cryptocurrency blockchains. If this happens, will XCP created by burning BTC be directly useable on other blockchains besides the Bitcoin blockchain, or will it always be married to Bitcoin?
Also, I love the idea of a 100% PoB system with a blockchain supported entirely by PoB. The PoB white paper that I read a while ago proposed such a system, if I remember correctly. Any thought of developing XCP into such a complete self-supporting system? It seems to me that with recent advances in PoS and now PoB, the only thing PoW has going for it is that it happens to be the method that Bitcoin (unfortunately) uses.

I think the protocol in https://github.com/PhantomPhreak/Counterparty needs to be updated (still saying burning to miner fee there). Especially, it's helpful to explicitly finalized what's the requirement of burning. Then third-party block explorer could be done to help people to show their XCP balance.
For example, It is said "Burn messages have precisely the string ‘ProofOfBurn’ stored in the OP_RETURN output." there, but as you have already clarified that OP_RETURN is not necessary in burning, and I believe all coins burnt in blockchain.info wallet has no OP_RETURN.

Sending (or any form of use) will come with the OP_RETURN feature that is almost guaranteed to come in Bitcoin 0.9. Even if OP_RETURN is not implemented, the burn record remains forever, allowing an alternative implementation to be designed. At least that's what I gather.
Do you know when that will be release? Could you kindly check 1HGuoV6CUaqCm8CkWRGffxsp6ABYJK9YDR again. I'll have to get this client

No idea, ask in the main bitcoin forums (do people go there anymore?)
Niice, thank you! Haha i'll ask around

Okay, I burned some spare change. Where do I see my XCP? Could someone please help

Looks like you've got some:

So I need to download the actual client to see my XCP?
For now I guess. I presume some sort of block explorer is coming (if I knew more python, I'd try coding one myself).
PS For the record, we're at a market cap of over $200K right now. NXT launched with 1/10th of that. Not a direct comparison, because Nxt is not PoB.
Cheers! I'm guessing there currently isn't a way to send these to people? I burned through blockchain.info. This is a much greater distribution technique than Nxt.

I've burnt my bitcoin using blockchain.info. Is it possible to see how many XCP I will get without running the counterparty software on my local PC?
Is there a rough figure per bitcoin? Is there some type of early bird bonus? I'm cool if there isn't, just trying to decide if I should burn more today, or can I wait until later without any penalty?
cheers

If you post or PM the address you burnt from, one of us which has counterpartyd running can check for you. I'd be happy to check if you'd like.
PM sent, thanks
Thanks led_lcd! I can confirm that using a blockchain.info wallet to burn the bitcoin works perfectly!
Follow the instructions on this page. http://counterpartyd-build.readthedocs.org/en/latest/HowToBurn.html#without-using-counterpartyd

Is the bitcoin wallet the only thing that needs to be backed up? Does counterparty have its own wallet or other data that requires a backup?
+1.
Also, if I encrypt my Bitcoin-QT wallet. Will 'counterpartyd' still be able to work with it.

I am kind of lost. I thought by burning BTC we just send to the unspendable address as described in the tutorial here: http://counterpartyd-build.readthedocs.org/en/latest/HowToBurn.html
I hasn't seen OP_RETURN is used in this method. Does that mean the tutorial there has been obsoleted, or there's a new method using OP_RETURN?

OP_RETURN isn't necessary (only) for burns, and indeed it's unsupported on mainnet until Bitcoind 0.9 comes out. The tutorial is up-to-date.
