I don't recall you going on to ElDido's exchange and advertising your private sell back then.

It's hard to move a huge volume through the exchanges. This is exactly how I sold a large volume in February, if you recall: http://www.reddit.com/r/mastercoin/comments/1uo0ft/buy_mastercoins_directly_from_jr_founder_of/

 Now I'm doing the same thing, but buying this time. It worked then, and I expect it to work now.

 

the price is different!



Got it. You'll be happy to hear we'll add soon (probably this week) iceberg orders, wich are hidden orders, for just this sort of cases!
That being said, your announcement alone may pump up the price

Seems pretty sleazy to advertise your offer on an exchange chatroom then do the exchange in private.

JR is Great！！

I love masterxchange!

Hey wait a minute! How did you know that big buy wall isn't me?! Did you snoop?!

I may very well use it, but I am hoping there is some big fish out there who wants to sell a bunch of MSC but wasn't going to use the exchanges for fear of crashing the price to zero with their huge sell. If that person exists, I'm hoping to meet them soon.

Honest question: why don't you just put a buying order on masterXchange.com if you are so serious about it?
It feels like you are avoiding the oldest service using Mastercoin and, as one of the co-founder, I'd like to understand why.

So far the offers I've received aren't anywhere NEAR the spot price, so I'll go up a bit. Anybody want to unload their MSC at 0.0075 BTC/MSC?

I'm glad for you for making a killing off this venture. Probably not a good idea to flaunt it though.

I had an interesting thought this morning - at today's price (0.007 BTC/MSC), I could easily purchase back all the MSC I sold a few months ago in order to quit my job, and maybe even INCREASE my position to larger than it was after the launch of the project!

I mentioned this to our team internally, and everybody there has turned me down flat (so far).

So I ask you guys - does anybody want to unload a big chunk of MSC all at once at today's hilariously low prices? If so, please PM me.

I'd like to highlight the in progress Mastercore API Docs. These can be easily overlooked so I thought they deserved their own shout out.

https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md

For example When I build out a wallet I'll take a look at:
https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md#broadcasting-a-simple-send-transaction
https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md#obtaining-a-master-protocol-balance
https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/apidocumentation.md#retrieving-a-master-protocol-transaction

With a little magic I can turn JSON responses into java and C# Objects like this:


Becomes this:


All ready to be made into a nice strongly typed object oriented application.

--Stay Tuned--

cinnamon_carter Don't feel bad, I went through the docs and there is more information included than is needed for a basic build. I'll try and summarize the steps here:

First step is to install dependencies: https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/build-unix.md#dependency-build-instructions-ubuntu--debian

Note Mastercore has only been tested on Ubuntu and I have personally verified that using this method on a brand new Ubuntu vm works.  

I went ahead and installed the dependencies for the QT Gui but I'm not sure it was necessary: https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/doc/build-unix.md#dependencies-for-the-gui-ubuntu--debian

I now notice this note as well: The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoind" to strip the debug symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%. I did not run the stip command on my bin

After the dependencies are all met it's time to go back to the https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/michael-0921/README.md#installation Ignoring the testnet stuff.

Note the compiled binary will be /mastercore/src/bitcoind I moved this to a usr/bin/ directory so I could have system wide access to launching it.

Don't forget to create a bitcoin.conf file like the first run tells you. Also add these additional parameters to the conf file:

This way you don't have to start the daemon using the txindex flag every time (Which is a required param in order to get Master Protocol Features)

I think it‘s good to msc. Ron is  full of enthusiasm but too idealism.

Well, Ron quit.  I guess this is the end of Mastercoin?

is it possible that someone can post specifics on how to compile this either for win or linux, ive looked through your docs and it's kind of confusing what is used for what, also is there a type of 'test net' for anyone to run tests on, a few of your pages on github have warnings listed about loss of btc for testing....ect....

Very different line with counterparty. They make everything open, inform all bugs and time lines etc for community. Everything is open for investors, new investors and interested peoples and companys who want join to counterparty. Same time Mastercoin team go so deep under ground what is possible and even no post screenshot of their new linux software to forum.

Can someone paste here this new software screenshots or is that only command line now?

So is it true that Ron has been kicked?

Please add an official windows mastercore build.

I don’t disagree in the least - we’re trying to have at least weekly updates, but since everyone’s been so swamped the past two months, it went a little quiet.  I’ll see if we can increase our communication so that status is better relayed. 

Lots of amazing things are happening, all at the same time. We’re doing what we call our “Omni rehab” to make the wallet a little less, erm, ugly.  Having the Omni team rip out the mastercoin-tools underpinnings and replacing it with Master Core over the last month has been extremely instructive to know what integrators are going to need.

We’re in near-constant communication with new issuers who are looking to create new and exciting assets on the platform (some of which will be huge).  Each one has different needs, and we have to find the common-ground elements so that we can build the features into the platform in an elegant way.  Security and consistency are key, and we are proud to say that we have had no security problems in the past year with our platform.  We aim to keep it that way.  Build it right, right?

On that front, we have some exiting new features to add to the protocol, looking how we can use Peter Todd’s tree-chains, Paul Snow’s Notary Chains (wow) and even some experimental concepts are being discussed, such as pooling bitcoin transactions to reduce tx fees (for all Bitcoin users).  Using Bitcoin Core as the base of Master Core is going to allow us a broader range of options as we start to build in some of these ideas.

Also, we have a weekly all-hands meeting on Tuesdays, and a weekly dev sync on Thursdays, both in our Sococo space.  All are free and welcome to attend, and agenda notes are published for both. 

I can’t tell you how proud of this team I am - these are some of the most talented and dedicated developers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

More news is coming - Mastercoin’s 2nd year is going to be astounding.

I know your guys are hard working on this project, and the delay is normal . All we need is a regular report on the progress. If a project want to be successful , the interaction is more important than only dev.
