Hi,
1. I got this while trying to submit Contact Form on blockscan.com:
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
I retried - same issue.
2. About a week ago I had a problem with password recovery on blockscan.com. I think submitted feedback about that as well, but I'll try again. IIRC there's a problem with password reset whereby the site asks for one's email address but doesn't accept it with a message that the username should be provided instead, or something like that.
Hmmphh.. I just tried the feedback form and did not run into any issues. And the password reset appears to be working correctly... In any case, if you are still running into issues just drop me an email directly instead with a screen capture of the error message and I will look into this. |

An insightful read, as usual. Thanks |

usually you apply the discount at the shopping cart stage, the price is then recalculated at checkout, could be done that way but it's a little cumbersome.
One way to implement a token-based discount is that whoever owns/holds a token gets the discount. Another way (that I had in mind) requires you to transfer it back to the store. In this case it is lot more convenient to transfer both BTC and Counterparty token in the same transaction. theoritally it's fine to replace the antidust amount sent to the recipipient with any amount larger. However, it's not implemented in the current counterpartyd yet. Maybe later we can customize the amount of BTC we sent in xcp transactions, but I am not sure whether this is really useful. It actually is implemented, both in the CLI and the API, at a per-transaction level: Cool, I believe such transactions will be common in the future. An example is Alice the Musician. She sells her mp3's for 0.05 BTC each. She realizes that she can reward fans who blog about her, write in forums, etc, by giving them a discount token, ALICECOIN. One Alicecoin is backed by a 0.01 BTC discount. When buying with discount, the buyer transfers 0.04 BTC + 1 ALICECOIN in one transaction. A huge advantage for Alice is that there are no direct costs with issuing the coin, but the fans who anyway would buy mp3's see a real value in it. Holders of the coin who do not want to buy her music - even with a discount - will try to sell it on the DEX. If she gives away a reasonable amount of coins the market price should be slightly less than 0.01 BTC. I find the proposal very interesting and it definitely adds to the list of another use case for tokens. |

every time I deposit to poloniex it either takes about 24 hrs to credit my acc, or I have to create a support ticket to bug for it, such poor form I think the recent withdrawal delays had something to do with the latest upgrades/patches.. However, its best to contact the sender for further clarifcation |

Is this a withdrawal from poloniex? If yes, then you need to contact them or your sender for further information |

... It would be good if there was a toggle switch on block explorer to hide/show numerical assets.
The toggle switch is next to the "Asset" column header (drop down box).  |

bitcoin n tx reached 100045 for the first time, 3402 were counterparty tx, that's 3.4%
quite a bit of those were the GEMS sale held by koinfiy |

Hi Just released : The new Blockscan Counterparty LogSpotter (Realtime transaction log entries pushed to your browser) |
|

I cannot divulge any more project specific information at this time. However, I can say that this is very much a chicken and egg scenario where people are coming up with great applications to utilize assets and the decentralized exchange but they lack the coding chops and infrastructure to cope with the backend. This is blatantly obvious over at the LTB forums, for example.
It might help to include some common Bitcoin API calls with your Blockscan API.
The query/polling rates could be pretty high if certain apps are looking for unconfirmed transactions as they come in.
If I were you, I would anticipate the coming demand and set up a tidy revenue stream.
The reason I did not include the common Bitcoin API calls are because these are already available externally from services like chain.com, blockchain.info, etc. Or are you referring to something else? |

Hey Mt.Bitcoin, How well are you prepared for a huge amount of traffic directed towards Blockscan.com? I am aware of a number of projects (one in particular, once the free Asset Issuance rolls out) that will use online Counterparty Block Explorers (currently only Blockscan) heavily. Is there any way to pay for increased use of your API? Could you add more functionality to your API? Are you familiar with services like https://block.io/ and https://chain.com/? Have you thought about positioning yourself to serve the corresponding Counterparty Market? Particularly focusing on "Enterprise" solutions? Perhaps you could be a go to service that the impending Counterparty Foundation recommends? How many nodes are you connected to at any one time? I.e. are you well protected from a sybil attack? Regards, E72521 The Blockscan API is currently offered as a free community service and can be throttled/blocked if excessive queries are performed. Can you elaborate (or PM me) on what kind of additional functionality/APIs are you looking for and at what rates ? As for the "Enterprise" services I do not think the market is really that matured/big enough to warrant a separate service that specifically caters for this at the moment. However, things can change overnight in the bitcoin world, and should there be a need we can definitely take that route. |

Hi
I don't know if this is the correct place to report errors or not but I've noticed an error is returned when searching on an asset 'string' of characters in xch.blockscan explorer this only happens with xch.blockscan Counterparty and Dogeparty blockscan explorers appear to handle asset strings correctly with dogeparty sending the results to what looks like there own block explorer results page.
error msg
Opps Unrecognized search pattern 'string'
Fixed. Thank you |

There is a comments section under the tab of each asset info For example: http://blockscan.com/assetInfo.aspx?q=MAIDSAFEIf you know of any assets that are "fake" you put down some comments just like what was done for the MAIDSAFE token |

Most of the volume is on Bter so I would prefer it be based on the last trade for Bter btcxcp and bitstamp btcusd. If you want to future proof it a bit you could go volume weighted for the top 3-4 exchanges on each pair.
Yeah, I was thinking of fixing it to BTER too. The prices across centralized exchanges normally normalizes due to arbitrage, so in using the prices on either one of the exchanges should be good enough ok. done. linked to BTER prices for now |

Cool. By the way, I hope you're ready to syntax-highlight some Serpent contracts!  Lol... it looks like its time to hit the "code" again. Are there any technical write-ups/wiki entries for the latest "eth" style contracts? |

@mtbitcoin, on home page the exchange rate of XCP is based on the last BTC Sell (for XCP) trade executed on the DEx, which was few days back.
Maybe you should the rate from Coinmarketcap or weighted average from main exchanges?
Does Coinmarketcap have an API for pulling prices? |

I have fixed the asset balance issue. Will look into the other (CORS) issue. Can you send me a copy of the javascript text snippet or better still jsfiddle link so that I do not have to recreate a script? Edit: Can you give your javascript another try and let me know if you are still running into issues? |
