[ANN][XCP] Counterparty - Pioneering Peer-to-Peer Finance - Official Thread

[bitcampaign]

sometimes the counterwallet cannot be accessed, is there any other site to access this counterparty wallet, I want to see my old wallet but can't access it because the website is always under maintenance, hope there are friends who share this information

https://freewallet.io/

is this website safe and recommended, sorry if I ask because there are so many fraudulent wallets scattered everywhere so I am worried about losing my money and funds in my wallet, thank you for replying to my message, success always for you

I have used it for quite sizable amounts (BTC and others) and have never lost my coins..
I have had smaller amounts of coins (BTC and others) sitting in these wallets for an entire year and they are still there..

I imagine it will also only be as safe and your laptop/device, passwords used, encryption used, etc..
I also always make small test transactions, and triple check my addys..

thanks for your answer, it convinced me enough and i've used it, i was just worried about losing money for the umpteenth time in the past, so i had to ask the experts here so i'm not wrong again

Feel free to join my ongoing art project above. I plan on finishing it in the upcoming 6 months entirely. Would love to see the last INDIAMRBEAN cards to sell. Only 17 left of 44 super cheap (40K sats).

Don't forget, when this Eth "Merge" hype ends and POS isn't very promising without all the leveraged platforms and VC loans, XCP will have a very promising use of its own that it will do on a better blockchain and network than "ETH" ever has:

https://counterparty.io/docs/faq-smartcontracts/

Is there currently development going on somewhere? I would be interested to follow the code progression, as I'm interested in the concept of turing complete smart contracts on the BTC chain.

They mention the following in the FAQ:

A new proposal is being built for a specific Counterparty VM.

I however don't know when this part was added to the FAQ site, and if it's also outdated.

Another concept I'm interested on is Picopayments - which would be Counterparty tokens on Lightning:

https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/picopayments-hub

But it seems to have been abandoned in 2017, albeit there are a few forks (this one seems however be the only one which has some own commits ...). Anyone has an idea if there is someone working on this still? Just because of the fee issue some of you mentioned this would be very useful, although of course there's also OmniBOLT in this niche.

The problem is all the Counterparty development was from volunteers and the main developer sadly passed away a few years ago. There is no one being paid the big bucks from ICOs or companies to create or develop it further.
Whats tragic is this Picopayments looks like it would be a solid development in the furthering of a Bitcoin layer DEX that would remove the biggest issues of waiting for new blocks and fees.

Wonder who you're talking about as Adam K. was last online on this forum on Sept 21st.

No there is not but it still receives regular updates, largely thanks to J-Dog who is committed to keeping the protocol alive.

Devs developing on top of Counterparty are always at odds with figuring out how to get compensated for their work... it has to be at least partially a passion project or they won't have the motivation to get through it.

Passing of Core Developer John Villar
It is our unfortunate duty to inform the community of the passing of one of our developers on March 8th of this year. John Villar was a friendly, insightful and kind hearted integral member of the Counterparty development team and the wider crypto community. In his wake the community came together to raise funds for his family for their unforeseen expenses. A commemorative token was created and set up in a dispenser (xchain.io/tx/1551579) with all sales being forwarded periodically to the family. John was known for not only most of the recent Counterparty protocol improvements (CIPs) but also for developing the RarePepeParty game with his company in Venezuela. A burn address has been created as a shrine to John and if users would like to send him tokens of appreciation, they can do so at : 1JohnViLLARchiguireitorxxxxwhsz7P

Not the only dev but he was the main one whose name i notced the most with the updates and they had the most commits since 2015 (https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-lib/graphs/contributors?from=2015-01-30&to=2022-11-12&type=c)
He was also the dev of the UniversalMolecule [UMO] Blake256 altcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702519.0

Its nice to learn that there is a still a few devs spending some time on it, perhaps the collapse of FTX will be a drawcard again for XCP and its development as it was in the past after Gox.
There must be more than a few people around who would like to see a bitcoin based alternative to the DEXs on other blockchains like Ethereum which are insecure and constantly in the news about being hacked and drained.

Looking to buy old Counterparty assets (2014-2016) for BTC, please PM.

Suffice it to say that Evan, Robby and I will all be working on Counterparty for the forseeable future.

I see that PhantomPhreak logged in last month and am wondering if he could possibly address what happened with this plan... His activity on the forum really dropped off after March 2015.

I realize things change, people change, and he went on to work with Symbiont.

But I have to say, Counterparty could really use your guidance & direction if you have even the slightest interest in returning!
