How to guide for asset issuance ?

Code:

counterpartyd issuance [-h] --source SOURCE
                       [--transfer-destination TRANSFER_DESTINATION]
                       [--quantity QUANTITY] --asset ASSET
                       [--divisible] [--callable]
                       [--call-date CALL_DATE]
                       [--call-price CALL_PRICE] --description
                       DESCRIPTION

Example:

Code:

counterpartyd issuance  --source 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --quantity 1000 --asset HALFCAB --divisible  --description Very good asset

Time to lower the fee, you're killing the market !

Lets get it on some other centralised exchange

OK as far as I oversee, there are several GUIs in development right now. Wouldnt it be better to concentrate all effort of several programmers into ONE general GUI?
Pull together instead of doing ones own thing. I think the others dont sleep, noone wants to be outstriped by the competitors  

No, because the desktop GUI is a full client (i.e. works against your own instance of counterpartyd and bitcoind), which also runs as a desktop application. Counterwallet is a light web wallet that works against a set of servers in the cloud. It's important that we have GUIs for both approaches, as the desktop GUI aims to provides the ultimate in decentralization and trustlessness, as you are running your own counterpartyd and bitcoind instances, while Counterwallet offers zero-setup with the highest level of trustlessness/decentralization possible given its zero setup nature (through its Federated Nodes concept).

So basically, the different GUIs target two different kinds of users in many ways. As the desktop GUI's featureset expands, there will be the option to run a more lightweight version of it most likely, but it will always retain the ability to work against one's own bitcoind and coutnerpartyd.

Do we need to get xcp on http://cryptsy.com/ ?

Do we need to get xcp on http://cryptsy.com/ ?

I think yes

[warriraj]

yes

[halfcab123]

Cryptsy doesn't trade Mastercoin, wonder why not, I'm sure the setup is similar to counterparty. I wonder if they steer away from meta style coins.

[halfcab123]

So, I just updated and we're on database 9 now I presume. How often will these database updates occur ?

has anyone already talked to rs on mcxnow.com? not that i don't like cryptsy, just i think mcxnow is just more reliable and less "altcoin gox"ish

It's shouldn't become a "normal" thing. We had several updates lately that required a rebuild due to lower level security tightening that Phantom was doing.

Developers: Note that I made a recent backwards-incompatible commit to the 'develop' branch that changed the "/jsonrpc/" API endpoint to be "/api/" instead. So in your API calls, you need to make a similar change once you update to this rev (or these changes are pushed to master and you are using master). We did this to standardize to using "/api/" for API endpoints with counterpartyd and counterwalletd.

As a community we need to stick to one centralized exchange until the full costs of the November hack have been recovered.

But that high cost of trading is killing XCP/BTC trade in Poloniex

How will you enforce that ? It's a free market. Any exchange can add the coin to his engine.

On top of that, busoni is not really transparent.

• His 2,5% fees are killing the market, he doesn't advertise it clearly on his exchange
• His site is often offline or unresponsive
• he deosnt provide an account of the BTC & XCP collected, yet to collect and the those he'll take under his responsablility
• He failed to provide the hacker mails & info

Personally I don't trust the security of his site, but maybe because my level of paranoia has avoided me to lose alot of money.

IMHO, seeing XCP on another exchange would benefit the coin and Poloniex (by providing liquidity and intrest to the market)

Hello all,

   I am in the very early stages of putting a hard-hitting well equipped commercial/interview/short-documentarty together concerning Counterparty. I think I would like to center the main point around the idea that Counterparty is leading the way in the decentralized (everything,) movement.

   However we have seen the likes of Mastercoin and NXT make some pretty significant strides in this space as well; having said that, are there any strong case-in-point(s) that are noteworthy as a source for my work ? Please let me know. I will be reviewing the documentation for the project and protocol extensively this evening as well.

Thank you for any input.

[romerun]

well I think because it's not as easy to add xcp to an existing exchange as to add clone coins, that discourages those big exchanges to add us. Cryptsy is probably too busy counting money to writing code supporting xcp. We as community should come up with a guide of the best practice to accept XCP for service.

[halfcab123]

Aren't there open source exchanges ? Let's fork it.

what happened to DGEX? They were to add XCP trading
