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

Great op-ed to emphasize the previous point

http://cointelegraph.com/news/115262/bitcoin-the-self-securing-network

a key quote:

"It must be noted that due to the number of users and network effect, there is no blockchain currently stronger and more secure than Bitcoin. Attempts to create a ledger that's more secure than Bitcoin is extremely difficult and would take years – any existing altcoin would confirm this fact.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin blockchain continues its path with an astounding 481,334,611 GH/S per second and continues to be the strongest form of digital consensus. It's the closest solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem to date.

Hash functions created in any algorithmic system take an input of any given length of numbers and produce an output. The Bitcoin protocol uses the deterministic hash function of SHA256 in production. This random mathematical equation happens by using the Poisson Process, a probability theory that counts the number of events in a recorded time.

To mine bitcoins, miners must solve the given input to verify transactions whose hash value is smaller than the specified value. Values in the network are programmed to periodically change to maintain the difficulty level.

This has given birth to a self-maintaining arrangement between every person involved. All of this is recorded on the largest triple entry bookkeeping system ever created. The groundwork laid out by miners and users makes up the network's attempt to attain computational consensus. And the bigger the hashrate of machines solving its hash functions, the stronger the network becomes.

Thus, it becomes increasingly harder to find points of failure in the network as mining pools and individuals propagate and increase their hashrate."

What do any long term holders from launch or close think about buying now. Lowest market cap ever atm... Ive watched for a while and considered buying in before anyone have 'real' analysis?

With the low liquidity, you cannot buy much without pushing the price high. Unless you buy them offline.

[ShapeShift.io]

ShapeShift has added a buy/sell feature to the real time market data website CoinCap.io! You can now buy or sell Counterparty XCP straight from the market data website. Learn more about this here: http://bit.ly/1UVFZ7m

[btcvbtc]

Counterparty buy and sell orders have looking really big and stable in this stage long time already. Some pump and dump sometimes like every other coins also have.

What real projects are running over Counterparty? Can I find any list of projects over Counterparty? Not only sell/buy assets something what really are using some Counterparty technology.

I read Ethereum smart contracts are in testnet with Counterparty, where I can follow how this testing have go forward in last months?

Are there XCPusd or something similiar like Tether in Mastercoin?

[Kindcoin]

We'd like like to announce our new project that utilizes Counterparty:

Kindcoin

Kindcoin is a Social Proof of Work Coin. You 'mine' kindcoins by supporting great causes.

With a Counterwallet you can easily spend, store, trade or transfer Kindcoins to other people.

In addition we have built a platform called Kindshack.com where you'll be able to spend your Kindcoins by bidding on pretty great rewards.

We're launching in the next few days - check out Kindco.in for updates!

Hey all!

We had some development updates this week that you might be interested in. More info here http://counterparty.io/news/counterparty-community-update-sep-19/

[bitcoinrocks]

Is there a Counterparty slack channel?

[overthetop2011]

Where to find some info about the XCP ecosystem?

I think the XCP project may be too quiet in the crypto community.

I've some holding from launch, bought and used some more.
It is worth buying if you have a use for it always.  If you are speculating....  good luck is all I can say, because you are relying on the industriousness and enterprise of other people that you don't know.

Bought at launch, because of awesome fair release process and because of goals in line with those of the ancient cypherpunk manifesto.
Essentially, things that can be done with cryptography to replace any functions of corruptible government-by-force are what may ultimately save people from themselves. 
This sort of activity reduces the cost of government, so it doesn't matter your political affiliation, left, right, or purple, it is a good thing for all.

It is worth supporting this effort.

Even more so if you are doing DOA or DEX.

Hey all,

new version of counterparty-lib v9.51.4 has just been released !

This is an incremental upgrade with bug fixes and major performance enhancements. It also adds a feature for 'transaction chaining'.

And russian translation in counterwallet is not working now, so something broken.

https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-lib/releases

This update should address the availability issues we and others running counterparty-based services were occasionally seeing with counterparty-server when Bitcoin "stress tests" were ongoing.

We have an additional in testing right now that will make network reorgs not require a full reparse, instead being "rolled back" almost instantly. (Currently, counterparty-server currently needs to reparse the blockchain data on a reorg, which can cause availability problems as well.)

The tl;dr of this is that with these two updates, services built on counterparty-server should experience a resolution of any previous availability and stability issues. This will help the entire Counterparty ecosystem to be more robust as a whole.

It's really encouraging to see development progressing like this. I think this (and the performance enhancements) will definitely draw more developers to consider Counterparty for production. Hopefully the naysayers trying to convince us that the party is over will quiet down a little now.

Great work, guys! Meanwhile, I'm sitting here racking my brain about what the next update might be...

Where is that conversation taking place?

A great time to buy, just do it daily and steadily... little by little.
