The "Last DEX Btcpay Price" currently shows the value of an order that expired. Wouldn't it make more sense to only show completed orders here?

he who has the gold makes the rules
i recommend you add uservoice.com widget to this site

if you are concerned about xss then make your widget with a regular link to pop up the url in a new window

Bitcoin is new, makes sense to hodl.
Is it a good idea to have some checkboxes for user to filter out orders that have insufficient fee or fee less than X% ? It's not much of a problem right now as the order book is shallow, but it's quite confusing for new users to see troll orders.

Hi,

You can find public JSON API below. These are current options available.

So looks like he'll gladly add it, but we need to be on an exchange and have an api available.


This would be great for exposure as most people in the crypto space use coinmarketcap.

IMHO the built-in distributed exchange already counts as a public one - anyone can join it and trade.

Guess we only need the price ticker, which blockscan alreay does, and just needs to expose the API for it.

API has already been added. this is the json api for BTC/XCP http://blockscan.com/api2.aspx?module=price&asset1=BTC&asset2=XCP

+1

I have also added an API for XCP money supply at http://blockscan.com/api2.aspx?module=supply&asset=XCP

So now you should have sufficient information for a listing on coinmarketcap. This should be the first functional DEX .. ever..

I am somewhat hesitant to put up one as I am not entirely sure how the official client will calculate the last dex price. Whether this will be based on the BTCPAY transaction date, based on the order_match or order placed. I am currently using the BTCPay transaction date for last matched and paid.

BTCPAY is a good idea, as it actually shows the trade being closed (rather then just matched and held, or even placed). These (placed) can be done via high/low indicators.

I agree - using BTCPay transaction date for last matched and paid makes most sense.

In regards to having xcp added to coinmarketcap. I PM'ed Gliss to ask about the criteria and this was his response:

Quote
Criteria for a coin to be added:
Must be a cryptocurrency
Must be traded on a public exchange that is older than 30 days and with an API available.
Must have a public URL that displays the total supply (total mined so far).

Request form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1IZf5cBivam_93zENT_arFFuvWDidHGjWxoTMVmFSoWg/viewform

Someone has already submitted XCP to be added, but hasn't included a public exchange yet.  Do you know of any?

GOOD
The exchange is the distributed exchange - order book on www.blockscan.com. We probably need to put in a request for blockscan to include an API.

Yes.Only need provide API now.

I am not entirely sure if this will help the cause but here you go.  New API added at http://blockscan.com/api.aspx . Please take note this is beta and there could be errors

For the total supply, at the moment the MAX amount of coins available is FIXED at the burn rate (2648755.9218 XCP) which is a fixed value. However, over time the number of coins will diminish as they are used for fees (i.e Asset Issuance fees at the moment). But the fees amount at moment this is negligible

Sorry to bring this up again, but if you could add the "Last DEX Matched Price" which you are already displaying on the home page to your JSON API list -  http://blockscan.com/api.aspx - then we could get Counpterparty listed on coinmarketcap.com which would greatly increase it's exposure to the wider cryptocurrency community.

Please consider this.

Add a basic shareholders list (tab) based on address balances for a specific asset type under the individual asset type info

Hi

I think it's best you bring this up in the main forums. What I can and will do is to try to ensure that the information displayed both in blockscan and counterparty is the same

Also take note that there are a lot of changed taking place during the early stages

I've found another (major) difference between blockscan.com and counterpartyd:

http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=1JUXwDjh21yLkUhKNdggenexZK8XpeXTRx

Initially blockscan.com was showing a successful trade and a balance of 29 XCP in the above account.

Now it shows that the initial order TIMED OUT, and a balance of 0 XCP :-(

However:

~$ counterpartyd address 1JUXwDjh21yLkUhKNdggenexZK8XpeXTRx
 Balances
 +-------+--------+
 | Asset | Amount |
 +-------+--------+
 |  BTC  |  ??    |
 |  XCP  |  29.0  |
 +-------+--------+
 
My local counterpartyd still believes I have 29 XCP.

(cross-posted at: https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,2.0.html )


I am running the develop branch I am getting the following which matches with blockscan is showing

Balances
+-------+----------+
| Asset |  Amount  |
+-------+----------+
|  BTC  | 0.004257 |
+-------+----------+

Yikes. That's not good!

Fundamentally, we don't want different versions of the client displaying different versions of the truth. This is essentially a consensus bug in the XCP protocol.

I'm running master, but I cloned yesterday. Just did a git pull and I see a handful of new commits... I wonder if one of those will change the way my counterpartyd behaves. Will have to wait for a chain rescan to find out.

This still doesn't explain why blockscan.com initially displayed the order as good (matched) and then, within the next few blocks, showed it as paid (and the 29 XCP in my account.) And now displays something else.

This is a bit of a bummer, because I initially tried purchasing 5 XCP as a test:
http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=1CJTDpHBvcQw4e7FCKzkT9j62PuXegWdYN

And when I saw the order completed and the 5 XCP in 1CJTDpHBvcQw4e7FCKzkT9j62PuXegWdYN, on blockscan.com, it gave me the confidence to buy another 8 XCP (for a total of 13 in 1CJTDpHBvcQw4e7FCKzkT9j62PuXegWdYN) and then the other 29. I see that the balance of 13 XCP in 1CJTDpHBvcQw4e7FCKzkT9j62PuXegWdYN has also suffered the same fate :-(

I attempted to transfer the 13 XCP to:
http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=1JDPNyMWKoQzq4sBhCwMdEiWeT2KWcHD21
and counterpartyd (cloned from master one day ago) showed the transfer to be successful - 13 XCP in 1JDPNyMWKoQzq4sBhCwMdEiWeT2KWcHD21, zero in 1CJTDpHBvcQw4e7FCKzkT9j62PuXegWdYN. But, again, blockscan.com shows 1JDPNyMWKoQzq4sBhCwMdEiWeT2KWcHD21 with a zero balance Sad

Am I up the creek without a paddle here?

Can you sort the Sell orders in ascending order though (cheapest sell on top)?

Good catch. I've resorted it. does this look right now? http://blockscan.com/order_book.aspx

It looks quite confusing, order book should group orders with the same price in 1 line, then user may be able to click to see all orders at that price, the remain column is not necessary, just show the sum of available at each price on the top level, simply put making it looks like normal order book

I've removed the original order volume and just have the actual remaining amount listed. I had it there earlier for "troubleshooting" just in case to catch any errors.

However, I am not too sure on what do you mean by grouping the price in the same line?? most exchanges (i.e like btc-e) have these listed on separate lines. This also gives you a feel of your place in the queue because the orders are on a separate lines. I think at this point a lot of people are also using the page to confirm if their order has actually gone through and breaking down the transactions allow this (vs grouping) them up

cheers
