Sorry, I'm totally confused now.
Can you please post the complete steps and requirements for burning?
I would like to give it a go!
I'm sorry, but it's too dangerous to accept burns from just any ol' client: counterpartyd is extremely strict when it comes to how it constructs its transactions so there is no ambiguity in how any given transaction should be interpreted. I would really like to avoid facing the problems that other projects have come up against that are a consequence of having a poorly defined protocol. The Counterparty team is working hard on getting some trusted members of the community on board who would be willing to buy XCP on your behalf. For now, if you can't get counterpartyd running yourself, you'll have to wait to invest. |

I have bitcoind running, as you previously specified. Can you please summarise what is the current procedure for burring BTC to get XCP on the main net? Thanks! |

Sorry, no. So only qt in windows, right? Too bad cause i dont have space for the whole blockchain. Would be greatly appreciated if you provided us another option, before minimizing the reward. Thanks |

Oh, I misunderstood. The instructions are in the second post in this thread. Are they not clear enough? |

Just woke up...wanted to test if the burn is going through now...After rebuilding counterpartyd, the burn still fails with this message, Burn did *not* appear to be successful. Full output from Eligius: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Eligius - Push Transaction</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM METHOD="POST"><TEXTAREA NAME="transaction" COLS=80 ROWS=10></TEXTAREA><BR><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="send" VALUE="Push"></FORM> <BR><BR> <PRE> Trying to send... array(3) { ["result"]=> NULL ["error"]=> array(2) { ["code"]=> int(-22) ["message"]=> string(11) "TX rejected" } ["id"]=> string(1) "1" } Response = 0 </PRE> </BODY> </HTML> false I assume this is still being worked on? Didnt mean to hurry u guys...just want to make sure I can get going as soon as the update is working. Thx for being so responsive...I'm already beginning to like this team  |

Right now, XCP are being rewarded to those that burn BTC at a price between 1500 XCP/BTC and 1000 XCP/BTC. The exact formula is: XCP_EARNED = BTC_BURNED * (1000 * (1 + .5 * ((END_BLOCK - CURRENT_BLOCK) / (END_BLOCK - START_BLOCK)) |

You shouldn't actually need to download a complete copy of the blockchain in order to burn. You should be able to pass counterpartyd the flag --force and, as long as Bitcoind is running with the correct options, it will ignore the fact that it hasn't caught up with the network yet. |

Important update: Now you can use any Bitcoin client to burn BTC for XCP. Just send BTC to the unspendable addresses '1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr' (mainnet) and 'mvCounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXW24Hef' (testnet). Be careful not to try to burn more than 1 BTC per address. If you do, your last attempted burn will be completely invalid.
Hi PhantonPhreak Can you clarify on the above? Do you mean that "counterpartyd.py" will now work with any Bitcoin client or are you saying that we can just send coins to the exodus address '1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr' from a client that we have control for? Cheers The latter. So, Do we need to make sure the coins are sent from a single address still? Also, do we need txindex=1 server=1 Anymore? Can I burn from the MultiBit bitcoin client? Thanks. I've disabled that feature for now, as it opens up a whole can of worms. (How can Bitcoind still not have coin control?!) EDIT: Seriously, though, sorry for the mixed messages. I was being overeager. Neat. I only saw one transaction that was directly sent to the exodus address from a non CounterParty client Wondering if there were any updates on the build issues on windows? Has anyone successfully build the counterparty client on windows? Cheers |

Oh, I misunderstood. The instructions are in the second post in this thread. Are they not clear enough? They are OK. I thought you had changed things in subsequent posts (e.g., with new destruction address 1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr). If you could, a repost or update consolidating everything would be very helpful. Thanks! |

We are implementing a change that will address this issue of burns currently not working, and make them a lot easier to do. The change will be complete and we will have an announcement within 2 hours from this point with the full details. Thanks everyone for your patience. |
