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

[bahatassafus]

MasterCoin will not allow the trading of assets against BTC on their DEX - assets could only be traedd against MSC. On his blog David Johnston (Chairman of the MSC Foundation Board) presents this limitation as an advantage, and later in the comments he claims Counterparty has the same issue - requiring XBTC for trading on the DEX...

http://en.reddit.com/r/mastercoin/comments/2g4mmp/utility_is_the_mother_of_liquidity/

That's not correct. BTC can be traded with any Counterparty asset, and any Counterparty asset can be traded for any other Counterparty asset.

XBTC is a BTC proxy token created by a community member that merely expedites the process of DEx trading.

I know that you can check my comments on the reddit post

Maybe try a relogin? We just released a new version. If that doesn't work, we can give you something to type at the javascript console.

* Minor UI tweaks

Full list of changes are at: http://goo.gl/AICdol


Once language translations are done (at transifex.com/projects/p/counterwallet/), we will be adding these to the interface. Right now it's still English only.
Also, feel free to try the new Quick Buy (vending machine) feature for BTC->XCP.

Please guide me what to do

Please guide me what to do

Log in, open your javascript console (F12 in chrome and firefox with firebug), then paste the following:

Code:

PREFERENCES["num_addresses_used"] = 4; WALLET.storePreferences();

Where "4" is changed to however many addresses should be showing. Then refresh the page and log in again.

(note to others, don't mess with this kind of stuff unless you know what you are doing...)

Buying XCP just got a lot easier.

Interesting :
- Why does a Top CEO make a lecture on stocks on blockchain ?
- I don't remember how he announced that Overstock would embrace bitcoin, but when he did everything was ready and ahead of agenda.

I hope he will announce something.

Note to Translators

We'll be posting the initial 1.5.0 release later today or tomorrow. This will include internationalization support. However, at the current time we have no fully completed transations beyond English. Once a translation is completed and reviewed, we will update counterwallet to include it, so if you'd like Counterwallet to support your language, please help to translate and review the translations over at transifex.com. Thanks!

Great, I will spread to my folks if they are available to do the work.
