I have 500 XCP with polonix. I want to send it to my BTC wallet. Can I create an address for it and send and than when the counterparty wallet come out I'll be able to retrieve? I dont want to try to use command lines. thanks for an answer to a non-technical person. 

Ok, I've got a question about BTC/XBTC/XCP

Why don't you put a permanent sell order of 1000 XBTC for BTC (to begin with) at 1/1 rate. This could decentralized the BTC -> XBTC process. Of course to get your BTC back, you can put a but order at 1/0.99 rate, and maxmint (or another from the XBTC team) agrees to provide liquidity and process (btcpay) them all, and he gets his % that way ?

Maybe this is a trollable system ?

This is a centralized way to trade, right?

I want to make sure I'm donating to the lightweight wallet implementation, because that is what is going to bring the most newcomers. no blockchain syncs, online etc., like a counterparty, blockchain.info equivalent. Would that be XNOVA ?

So there's no way to code Counterparty so real BTC can be held in escrow for trades?

The Wiki looks great. Do you need any help with any of the content?

Thanks, that's great to know. Once it's comprehensive enough, I'll get started on creating a guide "for dummies". I hope this will help get the community started on a bit more 'outsider interaction', because currently XCP is fragile in terms of PR.

No, but he provided a whitepaper. I don't see a XCP whitepaper anywhere. You are thinking in way too complicated terms. Not light wallet, web wallet, or anything like that. All people need is a simple explanation. People can act as smart and arrogant as they want, but it won't make the general majority learn anything.

And trust me I would take 1000 clueless noobs over basement dwellers who fancy themselves as the protagonist of Good Will Hunting throwing racial epiphets around.

Text is much easier to write than code, and yet the only real information is buried here on a forum called Bitcointalk. I've even offered to put up my own money to pay people to create an infographic or animated explanation video, if only someone could write a really simple explanation.

Asset Issuance Protocol Question:

I have created an asset and I need to retire it. I am thinking about making it callable, but I don' know the call date and I don't know the call price as yet, but I would like the option to retire the asset if I am in possession of it and to remove it from the Counterparty Asset database.

How is this possible?

Is there a document or guide that explains how to use the distributed exchange? 

I quickly poked around the FAQ and Documentation links provided in the OP, but nothing jumped out at me.  Did I just miss the right link, or is the relevant info to be found buried in forum posts?

 

If we issue all assets, dividends and fees in BTC. I am not sure what is the purpose of XCP or what value it will have.

Could someone please outline the reasons why XCP is required for dividend payment?
when we are talking about an asset which mines bitcoin, it just seems counter-intuitive to be expected to convert the earnings into XCP in order to pay shareholders, I can think of many problems this process will create along the way, but none which it solve. Requiring XCP to issue sure, that makes sense but dividend payment I don't get why anyone would use

It seems like a perfect system for distributed issuance with a roadblock in front.

How's going on with online wallet?

Perhaps an official press release would help, rather than the aggrieved parties having to trawl through this thread, which consistently refers to the action as a roll-back of the database/ledger.

Perhaps, technically, this is inaccurate,  but the fact is in the real world of commerce, transactions occurred and actions were taken; the effect being that the ledger was altered, and those transactions were invalidated.

...and the effect was reversed transactions.

Too bad then that making the protocol robust and secure is a second priority for the core devs.

A bail-out will not make people stop talking about it. It is the second major fuck up at the protocol level within mere weeks after the end of the burn period and it's incredibly damaging. People are losing big sums of money. Redditors are linking to this thread and expect this to be mentioned in any serious discussion about counterparty for the oncoming months.

I do believe the devs did a brilliant job to create a piece of software that is the first to implement a DEx. Decentralization is the way to go and I applaud them for their courage and boldness to Just Do It. But I feel the project is rushed and released when not ready. A longer test period would have been nice too, just to get more people involved.

It's nice that they want to work with an "auditor" to verify the code for bugs, but that really sounds they are either not willing or able to do a full code review themselves. Instead, they want to rely on some third party for the security of their code base. I think it's not the right way to go, and for me it fails to build any trust.

btw to the counterparty dev's mastercoin foundation is looking for a security auditor as well.

i know we have connected with a few but i don't know the status.  if you all want to split/share the costs of a security focused developer, that might be something that can be worked out since we will likely face similar security issues and so there likely would be some overlap in research and work.  or at the very least we may be able to give them extra work to incent them to focus on this particular domain.

i haven't talked to the chromawallet folks about this idea but I assume they would have a similar interest.
