is it still planned to release the gui for desktop this month?

It will be a bit delayed. Devs have been busy improving the existing codebase (more on that in the Friday's post ).
We'll keep you posted on GUI progress though.

seeing this yellow icon ssl warning on my chrome browsing counterwallet.io

The identity of this website has been verified by Gandi Standard SSL CA but does not have public audit records.

The site is using outdated security settings that may prevent future versions of Chrome from being able to safely access it.

I guess the icon had always be green on my chrome until today.

is it still safe ?

Yes. That issue is most likely due to the fact that the certificates are SHA1 certs. I'll be updating them to SHA2 certs tomorrow. There's nothing strictly wrong with SHA1 certs for now, but the standard is older, and Chrome added this warning to prod people to moving to SHA2 due to potential future concerns.

Certificate issue resolved.

Anyone else getting this error trying to log into wallet - No counterparty servers are currently available. Please try again later. ERROR: %s?

[romerun]

I can use counterwallet just fine, however on one of my computers and both android phones, it says certificate invalid. I guess this is temporary.

I join to Counterparty in last pump about $12, after that price have fall in Fiat and BTC also. Investors really believe more projects over XCP than XCP?

It's best to look at the ratio of BTC/XCP rather than the dollar value. Counterparty is a toolkit to extend Bitcoin, so it makes sense that the price is tied closer to BTC value rather than fiat. Currently the volume is really low. So if you want to buy a larger amount of XCP, you will push the price up a lot...

XCP just had a 1 year anniversary. And look at how much time Bitcoin had to get mainstream... yet it's still just taking first steps. In this moment in time there is no cryptocurrency where you can say generalize that high price = utility and competitive advantage.

If the Bitcoin price is already confusing, the price of XCP is even more confusing.  

BTC needs to become more mainstream, and then we will likely be able to see things clearer. For now BTC is still dominated by miners and speculators, rather than actual users.

some rants: http://masterxchange.blogspot.com/2015/01/counterparty-is-nightmare-of-insanity.html

[DarkEmi]

I was getting frustrated and my emotions got the best of me.

I am sorry about all the people I might have offended. I never meant to hurt anyone.

Adam, Sean, Ouziel, Robby have always been helpful, polite and responsive, while I often ranted in an immature way. This is best exemplified by my blog post.

We are all building the future of decentralized currencies, and we are all on the same team.

I deleted my rant

... blog post.

Hi there,

you mentioned you run jmcorgan's address indexed branch (actually sipa's, but kept updated by jmc) on Ubuntu 14.04., and faced a problem of block processing. There was recently an OpenSSL incompatibility (details + more), which may have affected you. Just out of curiosity: did you run the Bitcoin Core tests with src/test/test_bitcoin by any chance? A few days ago a user reported an issue in this context over at mastercore and even though the issue was resolved successfully, the whole situation is still a bit opaque to me, and it would be interesting to hear, if you were affected by the same issue.

[DarkEmi]

Yes we had exactly the same issue. We had so many different issue that I am unsure now how we solved this one, I think that we just switched onto btcdrake bitcoind. We might also have used a bootstrap database afterwards.

We were blocked at block 280xxx

But we did not run the tests from bitcoin core tests, of that I am 100% sure.

It indeed seems like a recent issue that has been affecting a lot of people and its probably unrelated to counterparty, its unliky for us that it struct us several times when we were working with XCP. It might have been because we made a migration from ubuntu 12 to 14 and thus upgraded all our library, ending in the possible open SSL incompatibility

DarkEmi, you're awesome for being honest and apologizing like this. And as you said, in a decentralized Bitcoin platform we are fighting the system, not each other.

I think this had to do with the 0.9.2 jmcorgan build. On a few instances I had similar issues with it hanging on block 28xxxx. It had something to do with the sequence of running, downloading the blocks, addrindex and reindex. And at times if I had to stop it half way and came back to run it again it would fail. The latest bitcore addrindex 0.10.x builds though appears to have solved those issues.

The issue appears to be Not counterparty related, but the addrindex bitcore builds failing to parse all of the blocks. What I have found though is as long as you have at least one good instance of block data already indexed,  just copy that over. Works like a charm. And on a another note, with the additional load of address indexing I would recommend doing this with a SSD drive (at least for the initial run)
