First, lemme state that I own XCP. Some myopic investors are selling their XCP to get an 8X-12X gain on their burned Bitcoins. I can't fault them for doing it, because they (and I) took significant investment risk on this protocol. We've even had security issues with the coin, now since resolved.

To be honest, I have sold just enough XCP to recoup my original investment, but no more. I suspect many others have done the same or dumped a lot more on the market for a quick Bitcoin. XCP has only been trading a few weeks, so selling pressure may continue until news comes out.

Because this protocol was just born (and it works!), it's pretty rough around the edges. No production GUIs exist yet, so you're looking at transactions on the command line. Once it gets a fancy front end, the game will change and Mr. Market will start to price Counterparty much more fairly.

What's your address?

When will the GUI wallet come out?

I don't know the address. It's inside the exchange. Only busoni can know his address.

It seems like we are entering a period where Bitcoin will rise and fall but stay within a set range ($500-$600).  As much as I'd love to buy in 100% in the exponential increases in the future...my skeptical side has a tough time seeing it climb so dramatically.  I'm trying to think of events that could propel it 2,5,10x higher within the next 1-2 years.  Would BTC adoption from online merchants be the ticket?  Or perhaps financial or institutionalized banking support?

Last I heard the 12 BTC were meant for the hacker, as well as a "security consultant" position. I do agree additional money from donations and whatnot since then should also go to the security bounty, which should be paid at the dev's discretion.

As described in the chatlog, steps to implement stricter validation are always appreciated, given especially the use of multisig. Similar validation will also have to be done when OP_RETURN is finally implemented, as that has only been on testnet so far.

Wow, he just sent the remaining amount. Wow, I did not expect that.

Now 43,000, 20 hours left!

I just sent some XCP to poloniex. Any insights for the time needed for them to be shown?

Phantom thanks very much for this. This is ideal, since now a user has the option to buy an asset with BTC and also receive their dividend in BTC. One extension that could be interesting (not sure how difficult it would be to implement) would be to have an asset X, but the protocol can identify whether a user purchased X using BTC or XCP. If BTC was used, dividends are issued in BTC; if XCP was used, dividends are issued in XCP. What do people think, is this a useful feature? Is it possible to implement?

Good news, everyone!

The hacker (a bit of a misnomer, as he has pointed out) returned 50 BTC, and I have just distributed it to affected users. Looks like the other 65 will be sent, too.

Cryptsy doesn't trade Mastercoin, wonder why not, I'm sure the setup is similar to counterparty. I wonder if they steer away from meta style coins.

Hello,

I did a similar chart in r.



If the price is carrying on like this we should touch the second standard deviation soon, around 420 usd ish.

For extracting the trend I’ve used the function stl(Seasonal Decomposition of Time Series by Loess) in R

when will the web wallet be out roughly?

Weird, I'm in Shreveport, Louisiana and I can sometimes get the page to load, but none of the data is there (prices, buttons, order information, etc.)

+1 for XCP escrow replacing the unwieldy BTC fee system entirely!

Glad to see progress is being made on this.
