I too would like to know about the release date. This is not to say we want a rushed release to mainnet but some sort of expected (or estimated) timeline would be helpful.

Is there a release date for Serpent scripts support in mainnet?

So many fake and useless tokens @ the counterparty. It is time to restrict the unchecked assets issuing or to improve the issuing cost.

Missed out on the counterparty train. Watching closely though..

There is no doubt that the developers behind Counterparty are exceptionally talented and the coding may provide incredible utility for accomplishing revolutionary tasks.  I was initially extremely attracted to this as a potential investment vehicle (Bryne's plans are impressive), especially since there is no mining and a cap of less than 3 million coins.

However, from an investment standpoint, I have a real problem with getting optimistic about the longer term valuations of Counterparty because  1) all of the code is open source and it can be duplicated & lacks proprietary value; 2) Bitcoin itself could end up adopting these features; 3) a big player like Google could bring yet another coin with all of these features (and much more) which could overtake the dominate role for this space; and 4) there are no guarantees that Bryne's dream of an alternate exchange will be the one that actually gets off the ground with all of the regulatory hurdles and track record of contrary political positioning that has been so unpopular with regulators and Wall St. The scum hate him with a passion.  As a result, these factors pose a long term threat to the viability of this coin ever reaching significant value.  

I would love to be proven wrong and, thus, provided with a good incentive to invest.  But I am afraid that what Counterparty has created for the free market is somewhat similar to what pharmaceutical drug companies would be up against if they ever attempted to patent naturally occurring, unaltered herbs and healing plants as cures for diseases.  There is nothing in place to protect the exclusivity or scarcity of this very impressive technology that has been released out into the wild.

As i spend 80 bucks every paycheck on more and more xcp (buffet style value investing ftw) I keep wishing I could just print a paper wallet of an xcp private key with ease but that doesn't seem to be possible. I have half my xcp on bter and half on my counterwallet and I feel like neither location is safer than the other. There has to be a better way to safeguard this stuff in a way that won't require someone to just figure out my passphrase on counterwallet.


*edit* can someone explain what the "sign" a wallet functionality does? Or how that works?

Have Medici any public schedule yet? This year? First half in next or anything?

I have a basic wallet question if anyone can help. If I have an Electrum offline cold storage wallet for my BTC, can I use one of those wallet addresses for my XCP?

First of all, that graph is a horrible simplification. Secondly, XCP hasn't seen a real sell-off yet. Only now are any people who might sell it if a hint of bad news comes establishing any sort of position. I think to this point it's been people who did their homework.

No.

And the answer is still yes at this point.
