I've contacted a few individuals closely contected to this innovative project & no response
from anyone..
who or where can I buy from?
I'm aware of the amount of risked involved & the chances of me lossing my btc
through the Proof-of-Burn process.
I would like to express my interest by investing in this promising project
is there a 3rd party issuing or offering XCP for sale?
PM me
best regards

first of all you cannot buy it from anyone, because no one can transfer it. so your three options are: 1. DIY (with some help) 2. have someone else burn for you and have them give you the privkey to the address and trust they don't screw you 3. have someone else burn for you, and trust that they will transfer to you when that is possible. note that it could be possible to use a trusted escrow service to hold security funds until it gets on mainnet and there is still the chance albeit small that op_return does not get miner support... |

A mastercoin development update was released today. It sounds like a distributed exchange is not ready yet, but is is in the works. http://blog.mastercoin.org/2014/01/10/master-protocol-%E2%86%92-mastercoin-development-update-2/Also I saw in another thread that there is a bounty for distributed exchange, and that good progress has been made. So it seems that counterparty could still be first with a workable implementation, though that will depend on when bitcoin 0.9 is released. I dunno what is going on with NXT in that regard, if anything. anyone? hmm i should have been more clear in that update I guess. you can do dist ex right now, but it is being limited to test mastercoins until a couple consensus issues get resolved. here is one implementation, as you can see their are transactions on mainnet http://mastercoin-explorer.com/order_bookshaving looked through the xcp code to me it seems the main difference is that the xcp dev (btw you code is very clear and well commented, easy to read for a noncoder like me) is using what mastercoin calls class c op_return transactions, and mastercoin does class a and class b as well, since when it was initially funded way before the pull request that led to op_return being included in 0.9. in that case the xcp code is a bit more rigid, but it allows faster development of a lot of the features in the mastercoin spec. obviously everything is open source, so folks can borrow from one another and probably do. rofl @ the guy trying to claim copyright on proof of burn... |

someone should make some kind of boinc switcher for this coin and allow commercial labs to bid on some of the processing power\\
i\m not really a science guy but wouldnt some company like genentech find all this processing power valuable?
or what about for farming out 3d rendering for films?

TRy specifying a data directory:
bitcoind -datadir=c:\whatever\whatever\ getinfo
thanks! i figured it out, i had a new laptop and forgot windows hides file extensions by default so i had bitcoin.conf.conf woops... |
|
|
|
|
ok i figured it out... on this new laptop i had file extensions hidden so bitcoin.conf was actually bitcoin.conf.conf
i knew i did something dumb ... thanks for the help

Still couldnt getting run.py to work properly so I am now trying the beta installer, but once again I get an error:
C:\Users\Leo>"C:\Program Files\counterpartyd\counterpartyd.exe"
Could not connect to Bitcoind. Sleeping for five seconds. (Try 0/12)
Bitcoin.conf
rpcuser=rpc
rpcpassword=XXXX
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
Counterpartyd.conf
[Default]
rpc-connect=localhost
rpc-port=18832
rpc-user=rpc
rpc-password=XXXX
Tried port 18832 and 8332, same error. I'm getting really close to just giving up
With that bitcoin.conf configuration, your bitcoin server listens on port 8332. Worse case, edit bitcoind.conf, and add the following lines: So given that, that you are not running on testnet, your counterpartyd.conf is configured to listen on the wrong port. With your specified bitcoin.conf file, "rpc-port" in counterpartyd.conf should be "rpc-port=8332", NOT "rpc-port=18832". Please make those changes, restart both bitcoind/bitcoin-qt and counterpartyd, and let us know if that fixes it. konfet: Your issue is probably pretty similar to this. Please verify these port numbers, as well as verifying that your bitcoind/bitcoin-qt is actually running, and listening (you can open up a DOS window and run "netstat -an" then search through the list of ports...see if you see those bitcoind ports. I tried this and it is still not connecting. when i run netstat -an i get 8333 showing up but not 8332. any ideas what I might be doing wrong?? Can you post up your bitcoin.conf? Also, if all else fails, try messing with the values of rpcport and port in bitcoin.conf and see how it's reflected in netstat -an. Important note: In the latest versions of counterpartyd, the rpc-host, rpc-port, etc parameters have changed. Please view the most up to date documentation on this at http://counterpartyd-build.readthedocs.org/en/latest/AdditionalTopics.html#editing-the-configbitcoin.conf rpcport=8332

i am just running bitcoin-qt without any special commands on win8. i know i can get this to work on linux but each time i have tried this on windows machines i just can never get rpc to work. so i probably am doing something really stupid. |

i get this trying to run bitcoind on win8, i have a conf file with a rpcpassword
----
related problem is that when i run bitcoin-qt with daemon and server set to 1, i cannot connect to the rpc port from localhost.
----
i can get this to work on linux, i just cannot figure out what to do on windows. please help.

Klee with all those mastercoins, if you aren't planning to sell perhaps you should talk to Judith (chapter coordinator) about starting a Mastercoin chapter where ever you may be. We are working on a partnership with a couple large hackathon organizers to push for hackathons focusing on distributed applications and finance applications once mastercoind and some of the smart property functionality is available. The chapters would get involved in those, ensure there is a core group of people interested in using Master Protocol as a platform for their app, and ultimately act as feeders into new investment opportunities. I know mate, I am furious not because of any loss (I covered my fat ass when first MSC hit 0.1) but because I want cryptos in general to succeed. I was a lucky NXT early adopter too (and Bitshares, XCP but NOT eMunie) and I plan with this stake to start my own software dev company (UbiCrypt) where I will try to promote MSC, NXT, XCP and maybe BTS. I already have 2 devs working for me (1 part time, 1 full time) and a part time IT (NXT suffered from heavy DDoS attacks). I will try to recruit more (and some friends of me have invested big in MSC and probably they will co-operate too). I want them ALL to succeed - I had contacted Ron personally for the local chapter and made a post in Trello too. I could not start it though because of NXT that kept me a hell of a busy. That will change. Cheers! that is awesome that you are putting this all to productive use. i was kicking myself for not making time to send that 1 btc i meant to send for nxt.. ugh. It did get a bunch of PTS mining in early November so happy about that at least. |

Can I receive MasterCoins into any BitCoin wallet, e.g. a MultiBit wallet?
Will I later on be able so send the very same MasterCoins elsewhere even if there are not bit coins on the wallet?
What about if the transfer requires a fee? Will I then first have to send a small amount of bc into the MC wallet in order to send MC?
Br,
Bjowic2
yes you will need some btc, the transactions (class b if i recall correctly) are 3 part. i think each needs to be above the dust threshold |
|
|

if mastercoin works as advertised or even better, then we may see a raft of master-coin allts all trying to stuff the block-chain with data, and compete for transaction space
what happens in this situation?
more btc fees for miners |

Mastercoin 2(MSC ponzi) trying to hijack and steal our name here even though we are trading on the exchanges already. I've been discussing this with BitJohn over at cryptsy and we have good communication...I'm sticking firm and buying up all the REAL Mastercoins(MST) I can buy at these levels. If these MSC devs would just have the common decency to address this issue I would drop it but since they wanna play stupid I will use everything within my power to not let them hijack our mastercoin name(my Grandpa was a famous Patient/Copyright Attorney), not to mention the BTCitcoin blockchain being hijacked an polluted(sent an email to Gavin).. Hows the stability of MASTERCOIN/MST doing? Can we deal with an attack from the MSC masterminds?? A coin whose logo is a blatant ripoff of MasterCard is complaining about someone else copying them? Too funny. i know what a trip!~ welcome to the world of bitcoins!!!  you all realize that JR used the term "MasterCoin" in his white paper released 2 years go on this date https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56901.0 |
