Yep, will appreciate that in layman terms. Yes. it means that Counterparty no longer needs to wait on Bitcoin 0.9. You can now do the following and mainnet with the XCP you received after you burned your BTC. It is possible to start using Counterparty protocol features as they were outlined at the launch on January 2nd. The following features are implemented and (mostly) working: - Send: XCP or user-created assets using mainnet, right this very moment.
- User-Created Assets: Issue user‐defined currencies/assets and pay dividends on them. You may now issue user-defined currencies/assets on Counterparty using mainnet.
- Distributed Exchange: Trade XCP, BTC or any asset with any other. Although there's no GUI as yet, you may now trade assets, on mainnet, using Counterparty.
- Betting, Financial Derivatives: Make bets, or construct contracts for difference, on the numerical value of a feed. You may now construct, make bets or do the same with contracts on the numerical value of a feed.
NOTE: There is no need to wait for Eligius or for Bitcoin v 0.9. if you wish to start building your applications and using them on mainnet, you can do so.

If people want to provide their addresses, I want to test transactions by sending them some TEST (lol). Until my bitcoins run out from all the fees ... lol.
BTC/XCP tips appreciated.
If you want to send some test coins, you are most welcomed 1L5dKm5ftLfiMBjq3yZDJMgr365J5SHkUC Here you go, have some TEST :p C:\Program Files\counterpartyd>counterpartyd address 1L5dKm5ftLfiMBjq3yZDJMgr365J5SHkUC Balances +-------+--------+ | Asset | Amount | +-------+--------+ | BTC | | | TEST | 50 | +-------+--------+ Did everyone see this announcement?

NOTE: There is no need to wait for Eligius or for Bitcoin v 0.9. if you wish to start building your applications and using them on mainnet, you can do so.I can confirm that pretty much everything (sending, receiving, orders, issuance) is working. (I've been busy as you can see on blockscan.com).

So it means we can build DAC's on this right now? Any API upcoming?

You are one of the core dev's? I'd like to PM then.

So, the new windows installer just creates the .exe in Program Files directory?
No longer need to run the run.py script?
I had the previous version of the installer and now installed the new. I ran the .exe and the whole db is downloaded again from the start! Why?

We may need to switch to destroying coins by sending them to an unspendable address.
By the way, any way to verify this?

The transaction seemed to go through, but I am stuck with Status: 0/unconfirmed without any broadcasts for about 20 minutes so far. Bitcoin-qt is well connected (10 active connections). How long does it take typically? It did actually go through, though not for 30 minutes.
Also, more error reports:
1. rpc-user and rpc-password should be prefixed with "bitcoind-" in the autogenerated config from the installer. Or at least make that part of it clear. 2. I still get the u2026 unicode errors in windows when doing "counterpartyd market".
Open Orders Traceback (most recent call last): File "counterpartyd.py", line 608, in <module> market(args.give_asset, args.get_asset) File "counterpartyd.py", line 41, in market print(str(table.get_string(sortby='Price'))) File "c:\Python33\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2026' in position 483: character maps to <undefined>
This worked before (albeit being blank), so obviously some of the new transactions that have come up in the last day are causing this error.
Thanks for these bug reports! Installer has been updated (new windows binary is available), and this unicode bug should have been fixed. Thanks.

All that's left is a blockchain.info style wallet ... take your time with that though. Update: the "get quantity" values for XCP/BTC transactions looks a bit weird though. Almost as if the values have been shifted by 1E-8. However my TEST/XCP order looks correct. Issue w/ divisibility? NB: the issue seems to be with "get quantity" and "price", but "give quantity" column looks correct.

Any chance the BTC mining collective would simply block XCP (and MSC) transactions altogether, making the whole protocol useless?

Here we are \o/ 1'000'000 XCP createdIn other news, 16GB dedicated servers can be had for not much more than $20/month these days (albeit a very special deal on lowendbox). (Yes, a real dedicated, KVM and power management and all).
Isn't there a huge trust issue with dedicated server? I mean, I will have to have my encrypted wallet there, and enter the password many times... Any solution that guarantee exclusive access & 100% security on that matter? I have in mind that if someone has physical access, then it's not secure. Glad to learn more about it. [about feed/bet trust-issue as it is currently implemented]
Agree with your point. However, centralized feeds seem to be the only workable option right now. [...] If you have an alternative model, please feel free to propose it. 'might have. I will need time to polish the idea, think how to actually implement it, and text it. It will probably be something in the idea on my MSH project, adapted for betting. Therefore coding from the dev unavoidable. MSH, TSH, BSH : many ideas. But I kind of feel none will be implemented... We'll see. Keep you posted.

Well, obviously; I assume that the counterpartyd instance running on your VPS/dedicated doesn't have your actual wallet on there. That would be on your own computer. Well, created and matched my own order. Hope it goes through and gives some useful data points to implement actual transaction viewing on blockscan.com.

About dedicated server
Well, obviously; I assume that the counterpartyd instance running on your VPS/dedicated doesn't have your actual wallet on there. That would be on your own computer. Hum... On my computer in order to run counterpartyd, I must have a bitcoind running in the backgroud. And for it to run, it need a wallet. Therefore yes, my wallet would need to be on this dedicated server. I don't see how it can work otherwise. (on the meantime, someone uploading the XCP database would resolve my main problem.) ('guess +4h isn't that much after days and days... 'afraid a new DB will be needed if soft is changed on v0.9 out)
