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

[SyRenity]

I received a reply from btc-e about my inquiry regarding Counterparty.

Code:

Hello 

no planed 

As Counterparty gets more traction I hope they will reconsider.

It worth pinging them after March, AFAIK they currently do not accept any new pairs.
It will also give XCP ample chance to growth.

Are you, guys, still interested in a centralized exchange?

If so, I am selling my NXT/BTC exchange: https://nxtchg.com/sale.php

[SyRenity]

Following the excellent kanzure, xnova and phantomphreak suggestions, I separated GUI into two repositories:

The Webserver serving GUI: https://github.com/JahPowerBit/counterpartyws
The GUI: https://github.com/JahPowerBit/counterpartygui

Dependencies are exactly the same as counterpartyd, it should be easy to install if counterpartyd is already installed.

Any quick steps how to launch with source-compiled version of official counterpartyd?

Thanks!

The bounty is specifically for adding XCP<->BTC exchange on an existing bounty or for creating an XCP<->BTC exchange. If you added XCP<->BTC to Nxtchg, you would be eligible for the bounty.

Might be worth it from a community standpoint and as an initial marketing vehicle to turn this into a dedicated market place for XCP with various other coins until the project is stable and is in an advanced beta stage. both decentralized alpha and the above can run in parallel at first until such time that "we" are ready. this way a market can get created with XCP based management

A committee can be created to which an investment is given and proceeds can be distributed back to investors all as a temporary market making vehicle.

just an idea....  

[halfcab123]

So if my eyes are not deceiving me... there is a GUI out now ? lol. I know I'm impatient.

[halfcab123]

Hey so Patel can you explain just a little more what's the bitcoin.conf settings supposed to be.

I understand the reindex I tried it twice took over two days so I cut it off

Bitcoind -reindex

I'm assuming I can just use the counterparty
Exe installer and that's all I need ?

And then rebuild counterpartyd database ?
How ? Ha.

If you could just explain that I think it might click for me

Bitcoin.conf located in C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin should be set to:

rpcuser=rpc
rpcpassword=rpcpw1234


server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

Save the file.

Click start, type cmd, press enter.

type: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin

press enter

type: bitcoin.exe -reindex

press enter

And wait like 6 hours for it to finish.

Can I set RPC username and RPC password to whatever ? Does it matter ?

[halfcab123]

well I set my config to just any old RPC password and its reindexing.. This is my 3rd attempt. how long should I wait before its too long ? Is 72 hours normal ?

[JahPowerBit]

So if my eyes are not deceiving me... there is a GUI out now ? lol. I know I'm impatient.

In fact, there's already a GUI available :
https://github.com/JahPowerBit/counterpartyws

But I don't know yet the best way to package the GUI with counterpartyd. Suggestions are welcomes.

If you are on Linux and counterpartyd already installed, it's very easy to install and use it.

[JakeThePanda]

Will there be a GUI for Mac?

Wow, sellers are lining up in the order book.  The price of XCP is waiting to get slaughtered.

Im not getting this running!

I have counterpartyd and counterpartyws cloned and counterpartyd installed, I try running the GUI but it says:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "counterpartyws.py", line 5, in <module>
    import cherrypy
ImportError: No module named cherrypy

You have some hints plz? Example how to run it?


2nd Question:
Is there a way to update couterpartyd without reinstalling and reindexing from scratch?

[porqupine]

Are you on Windows or Linux?

[JahPowerBit]

Code:

Do not clone counterpartyd but :

1) install countepartyd as explained here: http://counterpartyd-build.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

2) launch counterpartyd

3) clone countepartygui and type "bower install" to install the dependencies (see http://bower.io/)

4) clone counterpartyws and type

Code:

counterpartyws --counterpartyd-dir=/path/to/counterpartyd --counterpartygui-dir=/path/to/counterpartygui

P.S: cherrypy is missing: pip install cheerypy

OK thanks!

Im running on Windows 7. Didnt know I need all those dependencies...

Will try later on. If you dont read complaints from me again, suppose I got it started...

As long as XCP keeps leading in this space, in my opinion the price can crash to wherever the weak hands feel, once more people understand it will soar back.

I don't think my XCP balance is correct:

http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=1QBPsB2ea61vWTNA9nGUhaHqPQB4SXF4fN

Currently both blockscan.com and my local client (v0.4.1 master branch on Ubuntu 13.10) show a balance of 1348.19 XCP.

But this balance doesn't make sense just looking through transaction history:

1340.43 total earned through proof-of-burn.

+1 from winning Super Bowl Bet.

Sold a few XCP, other orders have all expired or been cancelled.

This implies my balance should be at most ~1341. Where did the additional 7 XCP come from?

My suspicion is I got credited extra XCP somehow through the order expiration process.

Here are the credits and debits to and from that address (and your balance) in the DB:

Hi, can you at least answer my first question before you put me in my place?  Thanks.

Hi, can you at least answer my first question before you put me in my place?  Thanks.

I actually had no intention whatsoever to do so, and merely was excited by the fact we already speculate on price from the first Dex order-book out there.
Sorry if it sounded that way.

As per your question, if the GUI written in cross-platform language (python for example), I see no reason why it won't be released on Mac as well.

That supports my assertion that the "end-game" for bitcoin is not as a transaction currency, but as a reserve currency. Blockchain-based protocols inherently cannot scale to a "useful" world scale (and neither did Satoshi envision it scaling to that extent), but as a decentralized, immutable ledger for transactional settlement -- there is no better.
