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

[GigaCoin]

so the vast majority of xcp buyers can't even setup their wallets because its too complicated ? interesting..

[whoracle]

when web or desktop wallet is coming? I have some coins and i want to trade
I do not know how to use that wallet what have already out :/

[ginko-B]

It seems that my selection of poloniex to pester to list XCP and getting XCP right next to mastercoin on coinmarketcap all happened. It sure didnt seem like it was easy to add XCP, and my guess is that most other exchanges wouldnt have stuck it out through all the issues, nor would they have been able to get it working as fast. Tristan is the best!!

Now we steal mastercoin's thunder before they are able to get any real world release out. The cat is out of the bag and now everybody that didnt know about counterparty will immediately compare working software with almost software.

I usually dont beg for tips, but I think I deserve one in this case. Feel free to express your euphoria!

James,  what would you say are the next 5 most influential sites where we should get the word out about Counterparty?

I you are on MacOS. Install bitcoin-qt and when blockchain is downloaded try this:

Code:

1) Download: https://github.com/JahPowerBit/counterpartyws/raw/master/dist/counterpartyws.app.zip

2) Unzip

3) (optional) Update configuration file ~/Library/Application Support/counterpartyd/counterpartyd.conf

[Default]
bitcoind-rpc-connect=192.168.2.254
bitcoind-rpc-port=8332
bitcoind-rpc-user=xxxxx
bitcoind-rpc-password=xxxxx
rpc-password=xxxxx
  
gui-host=localhost (default: localhost)
gui-port=8080 (default: 8080)
gui-user=xxxxx (default: rpc-user)
gui-password=xxxxx (default: rpc-password)

4) Double click countepartyws.app

5) Open you browser: http://localhost:8080

If you have any problem PM me.

I do the best to have a Windows version of next week.

Can counterparty only be used with bitcoin-QT?  Because downloading the whole blockchain makes my old macbook go really really slow so I can't do it, which sadly rules me out as a counterparty user unless I can use a thin client.

There is a web only client in the works.

XCP's market cap has now exceeded Mastercoin's!

P.S. Bear in mind, that the current valuation is WITHOUT a popular desktop GUI (bounty still being decided I think) and web wallet.

P.P.S. How long do you think it'll be before the media perk up and notice a new Top 10 (or even Top 5?) coin?

Please let it be after the new site is up.

Yea, things are moving way too fast. I wouldn't mind for value to stabilize at 0.01 or even below until the whole metric ton of work in progress things comes out:

- New site
- New design
- Web wallet
- GUI wallets for Mac and Win
- News articles
- A whole bunch of guides and FAQs
- (and the most important thing) real people issuing worthwhile assets and feeds for their projects

Is there an ETA for any of these projects?

Busoni, thank you for floating the fees. The new fee of 0.10 XCP sounds about perfect.

Somebody asked earlier who the five most important sites were...I'd say 1) Coindesk 2) Cryptsy....don't know about others.

What do you guys see for the future price of XCP? Trying to decide whether or not to invest now

Conservatively we should be valued at least with Mastercoin/NXT, if not significantly higher (due to many things in this project, that are actually working). We have yet to be featured in any sort of major publication (Coindesk, Bitcoin Magazine, mainstream media), and don't even have a working GUI yet, and our official client is still of alpha quality (though has features that are above and beyond the post-release versions of other coins). This is still the very, very early days right now.

That said, a dip is occurring right now after that initial surge, which is typically a good time to buy in. (See what happened to NXT when it finally hit the mainstream).

If it interests you, you could even issue an asset on the DEX. No need for any centralized facility such as cryptostocks to get investors; read up on assets a bit and feel free to leave any questions here or on http://forums.counterparty.co. Others that are considering this include MoneypakTrader (who already has an asset, MPTSTOCK, issued), and Adam of Let's Talk Bitcoin (who is trying to figure out how to get it to work - see https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,53.0.html ).

Counterparty is really so much more than "another coin", it's staggering.

well, speaking from the task at hand that I'm facing. The most important missing piece right now is the lightweight wallet . I just overheated my external usb drive that keeps bitcoin blockchain to rebuild counterparty db forcing me to migrate 20g of porn to free up space of my internal ssd in order to temporarily migrate bitcoin blockchain to it.

Hahaha, an act of personal sacrifice for XCP.

About the valuation, it's really hard to tell. Between the marketcap of MSC & NXT seems fair since we're in the same league. But a leader has still to be determined in the 2.0 race, and Ethereum might shake up all this.
