I'm getting the same error, it's saying servers are down.

It's back up now (I just logged in).

For anyone who has the time to hack around a little bit,
this is the way I created a valid XCP transaction in python with python-trezor library installed.

The process is a pain in the ass right now,
a) create transaction unsigned with counterwallet-cli
b) copy the raw transaction into http://brainwallet.org to decode the raw transaction
c) Copy prevout, previndex and the OP_RETURN data into the python script
d) Set the correct BIP path and receipient in the python file, and launch it to sign the transaction with trezor
e) Now push the transaction with bitcoin core using "sendrawtransaction" api.

If anyone has fun making this thing more comfortable or maybe even integrating this workflow into Counterwallet GUI,
feel free to take my code:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import binascii

import trezorlib.types_pb2 as proto_types

from trezorlib.client import TrezorClient, TrezorClientDebug
from trezorlib.tx_api import TXAPITestnet
from trezorlib.tx_api import TXAPIBitcoin

PREVHASH='67ca16b97014a56189f50f1a30b4db68e8ea314b33473bd0553916078f6a8250'

TOTAL=22853000
FEE=10000
DUST=5430

def main():
    # List all connected TREZORs on USB
    devices = HidTransport.enumerate()

    # Check whether we found any
    if len(devices) == 0:
        print 'No TREZOR found'
        return

    # Use first connected device
    transport = HidTransport(devices[0])

    # Creates object for manipulating TREZOR
    client = TrezorClient(transport)
    client.set_tx_api(TXAPIBitcoin())

    # The list of inputs.
    inputs = [
        proto_types.TxInputType(
            address_n=client.expand_path(FROM_BIP),
            prev_hash=binascii.unhexlify(PREVHASH),
            prev_index=N,
        ),
    ]

    outputs = [
        proto_types.TxOutputType(
            amount=DUST,
            script_type=proto_types.PAYTOADDRESS,
            address=TO,
        ),
        proto_types.TxOutputType(
            amount=0,
            script_type=proto_types.PAYTOOPRETURN,
            op_return_data=OPRETURN_DATA,
        ),

        proto_types.TxOutputType(
            amount=TOTAL-FEE-DUST,
            script_type=proto_types.PAYTOADDRESS,
            address_n=client.expand_path(FROM_BIP),
        ),
    ]
 
    (signatures, serialized_tx) = client.sign_tx('Bitcoin', inputs, outputs)
    print 'Transaction:', binascii.hexlify(serialized_tx)

    client.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Did you try to move XCP funds successfully with 0 tx fee?

It has always been the tx fee that stops me from using the XCP online wallet

What is the revenue model for symbiont?

Great news btw... (the cooperation with Mark Smith)!!

Beta version of the Counterparty Desktop wallet has been released! Read about it in our latest community update http://counterparty.io/news/counterparty-update-mar-13/

The GUI comes with a standalone installer for Windows and a MacOS installer coming soon, and will be configured to run in ‘light’ mode by default, meaning that users will no longer have to run a local instance of bitcoin/counterparty clients or download the blockchain to get started.

Global consensus is fragile, so I'm wondering: what is the security model behind this? How could I know whether the data provider for the light mode is honest?

You can parse cilent-side the transaction that the server (with access to the Bitcoin UTXO pool) tells you to sign. Make 100% certain that it sends the right funds to the right place, e.g.

The data provider is used for:
1) generate unsigned transactions
2) querying the Counterparty database, to get balances, orders, etc..

For the 1) all transactions generated by a server are checked client side, to be sure that the transaction contains exactly what the user asked (see https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/pull/728)

For the 2), (a lot less critical for all transactions except btcpay), an option will be available to query several servers, if all results are not the same an error will be raised (see https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-cli/issues/35).

On blockscan.com it says I have (+0.002496 BTC in multisig)
How do I spend those BTC that are in multisig?

This happens when I try to sign the transaction:

Code:

Error making request to https://cw02.counterwallet.io/_api: JSON-RPC Error:

Type: Server error

Code: -32000

Message: Bad status code returned: '500'. result body: '{"result":null,"error":{"code":-25,"message":""},"id":0} '.

I'm not entirely sure what causes the signing errors, but I opened an issue:

[Kergekoin]

No issues here. Worked fine for me.

We will have a few interviews coming out over the next few weeks that go into this at a basic level.

[Felipez]

Any estimate for when Smart Contracts go live?
And for desktop wallet?

I think community is hibernating kinda, just waiting for these to be ready before starting coding stuff.
