During the 7 coming hour, you still make 40% bonus.
Soon 10% of the time will have pass.
(humm tired, math seem wrong, 'lazy to check again)

After the burning period: it's freemarket.
I doubt that anyone will sell under 1000XCP/1BTC.
Personnality I highly doubt to sell under 100XCP/BTC.
Wanna 1BTC for 20XCP lolz.
Will see~

so investing in xcp right now gives me a chance to make 10-20% profit? and after next month there is no chance at the value of xcp going up. i guess i just dont see the upside.

Done

Code:

xcp --log-file=-
2014-01-05-T11:04:53+0100 RESTART
2014-01-05-T11:05:48+0100 Block: 278330
2014-01-05-T11:06:27+0100 Block: 278331

485 block to go, I'm up 5 blocks.
Really seem to take 25min for 15 blocks... Keep you posted.

edit: going slightly faster. 3min for 6 blocks.
Making 4h instead of 13h.
Something else to speed up? (in a month it's gonna take days)

About the log,
no need to specify I wish it recorded in counterpartyd.log ?
something like counterprotocold --log-file='/home/user/.config/counterpartyd/counterpartyd.log'

edit: at least the data is saved somewhere.
I killed it and restart, no problem, no loss.

Finally a tiny change:

Code:

xcp --log-file=-
2014-01-05-T11:14:40+0100 RESTART
2014-01-05-T11:15:49+0100 Block: 278342
2014-01-05-T11:18:10+0100 Block: 278343
2014-01-05-T11:19:03+0100 Burn: 1Pcpxw6wJwXABhjCspe3CNf3gqSeh6eien burned 0.2 BTC for 299.38181818 XCP (7c2b1ca0…556d1cd7)
2014-01-05-T11:19:03+0100 Block: 278344

Not faster though, 2min20 between block 278342 and 278343.

In another terminal:

Code:

xcp address 1Pcpxw6wJwXABhjCspe3CNf3gqSeh6eien

Still asking me

Code:

Is the counterpartyd server running?

(I have a symlink xcp for counterpartyd, 'convenient)

That's long and difficult.
But I feel I become more confortable, 'learning.
That's rewarding. Good feeling.

edit: my screen went buggy & totally black for a few sec. Suddent Internal error.
/usr/bin/compiz ?
The log doesn't show anything about xcp. My guess is the bug was related to firefox.
Weird. Terminal is frozen. Can't use it.
I'm gonna restart.
For reader: I doubt this is linked with XCP.
(Restarted: weird keyboard, now everything seem normal again)

After restart I do 4sec~2min per block.

BTW did you leave the deamon=1 in the .conf or not?

Yes.
This is my bitcoin.conf

rpcpassword=goodpassword
rpcport=8332

Get rid of the -v, and those annoying messages will disappear.

I don't mind the messages.
At least I can watch the progress, more or less.
edit: improvement idea = you could add the block number on all output.
I guess I have to wait it finish. << ?
I tried this in another terminal

Code:

xcp address 12FWiDgNr2ubaWBTbwX9vwoGzhvpwN5wtd

It failed (DB behind or something)

505 more blocks to go.
Way more slow than the rescan of bitcoind.
>> 25 minutes for 15 blocks... WTF that mean 13.61hours again??

Q: Is this data saved anywhere? I see no change of size in any file.
A real pain if that's needed at every start... (edit a major problem if 13h each time...)

I don't understand what's going on. You should turn off logging with -v.

This command make the server running, right?

Okay, my rescan is finish.

Before burning I will update XCPsoft.
Just wanna make sure the following is correct (no more, no less):

Code:

cd ~/counterpartyd_build
git pull origin master
cd ~/counterpartyd_build/dist/counterpartyd
git pull origin master

~~Sure nothing else to do?~~

edit: info for those trying:
on counterparty.conf rpc-port=8332 (have to modify the original 18332)
'currently listing tons of "Starting new HTTP connection (1): localhost". Your "parsing" I guess.
That's kind of long, for a change..
(with old version, I haven't updated yet, 'wait confirmation)

EDIT: 'was too long, I aborded with ctrl+c
Did the upper 4 command
Then xcp --log-file=- -v
The start is exactly the same, a endless list of this kind

Code:

2014-01-05-T10:12:01+0100 Starting new HTTP connection (1): localhost
2014-01-05-T10:12:01+0100 "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 2734

For now /home/user/.config/counterpartyd/counterpartyd.log is empty.
/home/user/.config/counterpartyd/ = 46.8 kB
/home/user/counterpartyd_build = 13.2Mb

Get rid of the -v, and those annoying messages will disappear.

Help!

My bitcoin qt just synched - but when I added bitcoin.conf with txindex=1, then qt says error - database must be rebuilt - or something like that.

I followed the instructions carefully..

Announcment: I just pushed a new version of counterpartyd to GitHub. This one has a much cleaner block-parsing algorithm, and one that doesn't involve the reparsing of every transactions on every startup. I'm working toward the goal of properly handling blockchain reorganisations. Try this version out, and tell me if you see any problem with it. In particular, if you notice a block index listed in the log twice---ever---that's a real issue.

Cheers!

P.S. This won't affect burns, don't worry.

Is this another error with the blockchain.info burning instructions? In step 4 it says "Under “Change Address”, you should choose the same address as your “To” address" but the pic is showing the "from" address as the change address. Just to clarify, I am referring to step 4, not step 6 as the post earlier was referring to.

Thanks. I just fixed it.

I'm trying to decide whether to burn with blockchain.info or counterpartyd. If the former, can I export the private key into multibit to use the XCP? If the latter, can I run counterpartyd and bitcoind in a VPS?

Yes, and yes.

I think it's funny though that some people are complaining that the initial reward isn't enough, while others say that it's too much.

Agreed. I think this means you got it about right.

Exactly.
You can pretty much never fully satisfied everyone.

Quote from: FandangledGizmo on January 05, 2014, 01:55:02 PM

the Devs would have been justified taking a % of the BTC for a development fund.

But they chose not. Building them a very good reputation start.
On the long term, that might be more valuable than money.

About 1 BTC = 1000XCP or 3000XCP, it doesn't change much. Even 10000XCP.
That's just a ratio.
For referential, 1000XCP is quite convenient. Precise reason already given in previous post.

Quote from: FandangledGizmo on January 05, 2014, 01:55:02 PM

when you think of later adoption of XCP, no-one can complain that early users were unfairly rewarded, if anything Devs and early adopters are under-rewarded for their contribution.
[...] that gives XCP a real shot at being the winner long-term.

Let's hope history remind this Wink
