WARNING: Please stop using the Distributed Exchange for now. There's something funky going on with matched orders.
The owner of this address posted an order to sell 1000 XCP for 7.5 BTC: http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=1KDiHRwFsAEVEmmqQP7jR9GaBp8Wu7uLoaSomeone bought 100 XCP from him for 0.75 BTC and paid for them. But it looks like the XCP seller was credited with an additional 100 XCP? The XCP seller's address now shows an additional 100 XCP received and a current balance of 100 XCP. WARNING: XCP seller referenced above is attempting to double-spend. DO NOT USE DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGE. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BITCOINS.
I am only seeing a balance of 0 for the address 1KDiHRwFsAEVEmmqQP7jR9GaBp8Wu7uLoa which looks about right. The total received depends on the number of credits that is related to the address and does not necessary relate to the actual balance And a credit of 100+ XCP for http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=134NJLMjRUf2D74L3myc7MXwJSAUgkqxypCheers |

Hello, - I've build my own installer (Windows) from git source up-to-date.
- BitcoinQT is launched and up-to-date
Then when I want to launch the counterpartyd.exe, I have this error: Traceback (most recent call last):

Was there an error in how blockscan was calculating the amount of outstanding XCP? Yesterday the amount outstanding was 2,648,755.92 and today it is 2,638,379.28. Not a huge difference but I am just wondering what happened.
mtbitcoin did a purge, to bring the correct balances after some bug fixes Thanks I think whenever someone places an order or makes a bet those funds are deducted from balance as well Yes, that is correct as stated in the previous post above. This is just a simple metric to see the overall transaction activity at any one time |

This is the total available balance as reported by the counterparty client (SUM(amount) from balances table). The available balance should vary from time to time depending on if any XCP is locked up in transactions like buy/sell/bet,etc ....or any XCP fees deducted |

How are you rebuilding the DB, mtbitcoin? In the vast majority of cases, you just need to run 'counterparty.py reparse', and that takes only about 90 seconds on my i5. (Are you still running on develop? master is much slower, with its 'purge' function.)
EDIT: missing words
Latest Develop commit. I overwrite the files and rerun. But like I PMed you earlier, I was running into some issues with develop branch on Windows and have been switching back and forth from the version 4 vs 6 db trying to make sense of things. The lastest DB rebuild from scratch appears to have resolved the issue though. Another reason, i am currently using the develop branch because the db on this one excludes non counterparty transactions from the transactions table |

Very interesting. Could be very useful for average users.
Just one question now, how about there's a reorganization after a checkpoint is setup? There has to be a scheme to invalidate the checkpoint in a short time. Maybe associate the checkpoint with the block hash.
I don't think the block reorganization should be an issue with a partially updated downloadedable counterparty db. Because counterpartyd will just pick up from the last point left off and the reorganization will follow through from where it left off. Can someone further comment of this?? Alternatively the db snapshot can be taken earlier after a certain period of blocks have passed. While not exactly an ideal solution, but when combined with a checksum perhaps this should be workable stop gap solution I have been been rebuilding the db multiple times the last few days and I must say it is time consuming Cheers |

Selling 1000 XCP for 9.9 btc

Hi there mtbitcoin.
First of all, Blockscan is great! It was a wonderful resource during the burn-in period and surely will continue to be of great use as the project develops further. One important utility during the price discovery phase of a cryptocurrency is data about the completed trades and the total market capitalisation. If you could have a URL of the last trade price in XCP/BTC on the decentralised exchange then that would be sufficient along with the total number of XCP (2,648,755.9218) to get Counterparty listed on coinmarketcap.com. You could obviously implement your own data visualization and analysis on Blockscan too.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Brian
Good suggestions! I will look into those.. I was just thinking about what to replace the main page with now that the burn period is over |

http://blockscan.com/ is such an awesome website. Why not integrate the online XCP wallet on the website like blockchain.info? If you guys can do that, it must be perfect! Exactly!!! Oh yes please do it. I hate the client and having to download stuff everytime I move on an other computer. Thank you. Blockscan is a personal project... And at the moment, I do not want to deal with anything related to the storage of actual funds as that is a responsibility that I am not willing to take on at the moment. There are still other non-wallet related but experimental ideas that I would like to deploy via blockscan first over time. Lets give the Counterparty team the chance to develop, debug and roll out the official web client first. In addition, there is already a bounty on the GUI client .. Cheers |

IMHO... After seeing this played out so many times over the years, any kind of full featured centralized exchange I.e cryptsy, etc at this point (so quickly after the burn) of time would be the death of this coin as far as the exchange rate is concerned. Unlike nxt and mastercoin, you have a relatively fair distribution and large float, and most will dump as fast as they burned.
Cheers
I wouldn't be so sure. Trades are happening at .01 BTC, which is roughly half mastercoin valuation. Does mastercoin have betting? Does mastercoin have dividends? I don't know, I can't really understand their website. The valuation question is currently what discount/premium to mastercoin valuation XCP should be trading at. With XCP's technical lead and presumed feature set advantage, a 50% discount for XCP just seems like a good deal for new investors. It would be good if XCP burners dumped at 50% discount to mastercoin. Then a lot of new investors will make decent profits. Also, most people have 1500 XCP or less. Why would they get all excited to make a few bucks when XCP hasn't even finished the basic tech deployment of GUI, Mac support!, wiki, etc? Oh, I forgot about PR. XCP has been in stealth mode and because of that, all the XCP burners got a nice deal. What happens when Howard Stern sets a barrel of cash on fire and starts screaming, counterparty, counterparty!! James Don't get me wrong, I personally like the XCP project as this is one of the fairest launch and the ideals that have been communicated so far do not appear to be driven by greed but for the purpose of innovation. There also does not appear to be any kind of cooked up scheme behind the scenes to solely enrich the developers or "foundation" members.....much like , very wow!  However, like you say it with more "publicity" everything is possible.... I was merely commenting on the technicalities Cheers |

hey I was downloading blockchain, etc and doing counterparty install to be able to get that order! James I would have probably been more at ease if it was fulfilled, only because I don't know where that 2248 XCP went. It didn't get returned. I am thinking it may get returned after the expiration. Which should be tomorrow. Still selling at that price? No, thats why I cancelled the order. Actually you are not the only one.. I have had cancelled orders but with no coins returned when I attempted this much earlier on Did you report this? I hope I didn't take a loss by bug. It seems the order gets cancelled and the xcp deleted instead of returned No ... But you should because my amount was relatively small and I was working through other issues like the client crashing midway .. Which phantomphreak will fix by the in the next commit. (Tq) |

Hi
There is an issue with the latest develop branch GIT. It will throw an exception everytime a block reorganization is detected
Status: Blockchain reorganisation at block 283588.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\counterpartyd_build\dist\counterpartyd\counterpartyd.py", line 715, in <module>

Yeah, I was just about to respond to your PM about that. I renamed the ' purge' function ' reparse'. I probably won't be able to push the commit which fixes this problem till Monday, however ('cuz I bundled it up with stuff that isn't ready yet). Feel free to rename that function call yourself. Ok. I've renamed the purge to reparse in blocks.py. Lets see if this holds... I am also seeing the error "\xd8MQ publisher not active. Sleeping for 0.25 seconds. (Try 1/12)"....' cheers |

Trying my hands at some logo design to get the juices flowing. My inspiration is the exchange aspect of counterparty, combined with some classic logography/typography (e.g. london underground). Font choice is Gotham Bold.   Second one but with the "party" perhaps on the second line. Having it too long makes it difficult to place the logo in all places cheers I like the second one too. I like the inspiration from the underground. Perhaps to satisfy the requirement to put the logo in small places, how about the circle/arrow is the 'shortened' logo? On a side note, it does look similar to my whipped up logo for blockscan (but with the direction of the arrow reversed) |

I've already contacted WOT to report the false positive and it does appear that they have acknowledged this and reset the ratings. If you would like to help you may also report the false positive where applicable cheers |
