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

[BitThink]

Wish Bter will be back and return every XCP deposited there. Hopefully the situation of once largest exchange of XCP will not affect Counterparty much.

Well, if BTER lost the private keys to 1NFeBp9s5aQ1iZ26uWyiK2AYUXHxs7bFmB this would be great for the XCP price as a large portion of XCP would be taken out of the eco system.
Otherwise, I do not believe that the price will react at all to this incident.

The problem is that there will be one less exchanges for XCP, which already suffers from lacking of reliable exchanges. I don't think most people will still trust Bter and keep their coins there after this disaster.

BTW: where can we know the XCP addresses of the exchanges? Why do you know 1NFE... belongs to Bter? Thanks.

The problem is people using those exchanges for other than daytrading, obviously storing those big amounts of money in those shady exchanges is asking for trouble.
If you follow some trivial security guidelines, your own computer is safer that all those exchanges.

XCP has a decentralized exchange built in that is the answer to this.

Well, I own 0.26% of all XCP to date, you can find my address in the top richlist on page 1.
I have been withdrawing from both Poloniex and BTER.

Withdrawals from BTER came from:
1NFeBp9s5aQ1iZ26uWyiK2AYUXHxs7bFmB

Withdrawals from Poloniex came from:

I see. Thanks. I just wish these transactions are signed offline.

The trade between XCP and BTC in the DEX is troublesome (because the BTC cannot be escrowed) and that's why it is no longer supported by the counterwallet.

We really need some kind of counterparty wallet which supports offline signing with a TREZOR or something.

I believe there's a bounty for this. Just surprised why still nobody claims for it. With the Trezor API, it is not so difficult to add this function. Actually, for personal usage, it is possible to develop a super lightweight wallet to support 'send' function at least. The idea is like this:

1: Check the balance by using Blockscan API (it is safe to skip this step if you are sure you have enough balance in your address. But I don't think BlockScan will mind if we use their API, since it is not so different with we just querying the balance in their website. Correct me if I am wrong, Mtbitcoin. :-) )
2: Generate the 'send' transaction with the help of counterparty lib (coding it follows the specification in other language is also easy. Recommend to use the OP_RETURN version if you don't mind maybe a little bit longer confirmation time).
3: Sign the transaction with Trezor API.
4: broadcast the transaction in https://blockchain.info/pushtx.

This client does not need any bitcoin full node and even counterpartyd running. I just don't have time to implement by myself. If anyone is interested, feel free to implement it to get the bounty.


Moreover, I think if Mtbitcoin can implement this in Blockscan, it will be even better. All these can be written in Python and Javascript. Due to the feature of Trezor, nobody needs to worry about leaking the private key when using this function.

Any link to the bounty? I could claim it if I find some time ;-)

Thanks, but

$15 open bounty

so I better leave it to people with a little bit more time. 

Considering you are in the first page of rich list, a super user-friendly and extremely safe Trezor-based online wallet potentially attracting many new users will benefit you much more than this bounty.

I don't think it should be too difficult but I have not looked at the Trezor API. Does it support offline raw transaction signing ?

The counterparty Dev team is working hard on the desktop client, so once that goes out it resolve most of the "client" issues.

 Hello! This is Robert with FoldingCoin Inc.

If you haven’t heard it , myself and our lead dev James had a 3.5 hour interview on the Dogedcoindark radio show. You can find the embedded audio on our webpage http://foldingcoin.net/the-coin/

Rick the host over there is really interested in Counterparty and loves what we are all doing. He runs a 24/7 radio found here http://dogecoindark.net/radio/

He asked me to come back on the show to discus more about Counterparty in general. I suggested that we find some other Counterparty devs from various projects to come join in on the discussion and he enjoyed that idea. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in going on the show with me to discus how counterparty can help shape the future of digital assets and currency. It could be a long one, so prepare for a long show (the live casts are also at night beginning around 10pm EST). Rick gets some pretty good guests on there and i recommend you see who has gone on his show in the past https://www.mixcloud.com/dogedradio/

No time is set in stone yet, we are just trying to get a headcount of who is interested. You can email me rross@foldingcoin.net Thanks

Hello all,

This is John from Coinomi universal wallet.

We are running a Lighthouse campaign to fund our development and add support for new coins.

I would be awesome if you supported us and spread the word so we could support Counterparty!

To support is a good initiative.

I don't think it should be too difficult but I have not looked at the Trezor API. Does it support offline raw transaction signing ?

The reply I got:

Anybody know any tool for signing raw TX using Trezor?

Hmm, maybe electrum can do this.

I use python-trezor for this.  You have to write a small python program, as the example program cmdtr.py does not support signing transactions.  If you use the Python API you have to supply the inputs and outputs of the raw transaction manually.

Code:

devices = HidTransport.enumerate()
transport = HidTransport(devices[0])
client = TrezorClient(transport)
client.set_tx_api(TXAPIBitcoin())
(signatures, serialized_tx) = client.sign_tx('Bitcoin', [proto_types.TxInputType(address_n=client.expand_path("44'/0'/0'/0/1"), prev_hash=binascii.unhexlify("6cd0..."), prev_index=0)], [proto_types.TxOutputType(amount=100000, script_type=proto_types.PAYTOADDRESS, address="12dR...")])
print binascii.hexlify(serialized_tx)

Look into cmdtr.py/Helloworld.py for examples that use python-trezor.
