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

Could anyone explain what Counterparty's purpose/future are given Symbiont? What is it planning to do/be that Symbiont isn't planning to do/be?

Symbiont is using the Counterparty protocol to execute its model of "building the first issuance and trading platform for smart securities on blockchain technology." Symbiont will be one of what will eventually be many front ends to Counterparty's back end.

So there's no overlap between what Symbiont is/plans-to-be and what Counterparty is/plans-to-be?

That is my understanding of it, yes. There is no critical overlap that will make one or the other useless.

No, beyond the fact that Symbiont is essentially financially backing future Counterparty open source development, by employing most of the core team and enabling them to spend some of their time working on the extant Counterparty codebase. Symbiont is a business with a commercial business model, Counterparty is an open source technology project with no commercial business model. (And yes, the foundation does take donations, but I don't consider that a business model .)

What are the options for moving XCP from one BTC address to another?  I know of importing the private key into Counterwallet and sending from there.  Are there any other options?  Is there an ETA on the desktop wallet?

The gui desktop wallet is already here (its simple send/receives only though at the moment)

seems a little complicated for the avg joe, you need Python 3, PyQT5 etc.

Is there a windows compile coming out soon?

thanks

I see thanks

Is there a plan to make it compatible with Trezor?

yes but not short-term

Please add the fact that its for Windows in the description. It's easy to miss/forget the .msi extension when browsing.

I can't seems to make it work... I installed it on windows 8 and change the settings as follow:

under Counterparty server I selected  counterwallet.io

under wallet I selected Bitcoin core with following options

host= 127.0.0.1
port = 8332
user= "myuser from bitcoin.conf"
password= "mypassword from bitcoin.conf"

I launch bitcoin in cmd -> bitcoin-qt.exe -server

once bitcoin-qt is synchronized I open counterparty GUI

it briefly open but it never goes further than loading

is the issue windows 8 or m'i doing something wrong?

thanks

P.S: the all process look a little complicated to me.

Does the desktop wallet require downloading the entire BTC blockchain?

Hello, please consider voting in this poll:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1042097.0

It's an attempt to measure whether the altcoin community feels that marketcap is an indicator of success, and possibly discuss it.

I'm targeting ~500+ page ANN threads, and not trying to spam everything with bumps, so please kindly don't delete this unless I've accidentally posted it more than once in your thread.

All opinions are welcomed.

You configuration seems good. The GUI is still in BETA version and was tested only in Windows 7. I will test it with Windows 8 asap.
It is also planned to add a wrapper for a lightweight wallet compatible with Counterwallet.

Does the desktop wallet require downloading the entire BTC blockchain?

Generally yes but no if you are using a distant Counterparty server, and a local Btcwallet connected to a distant Btcd.

So, when Symbiont is up and running as a decentralised exchange - it'll be powered by the XCP network? In other words, all Symbiont transactions will run through XCP?

I don't get how that would happen - I understand the transaction-speed/bandwidth(?) of the bitcoin network is too slow to accommodate the demands of the financial markets. Am I something here?
