Meets exactly 0 of the criteria, but thanks for playing.

Remember, this is not a brand new concept, it's on top of bitcoin layer so no need to cover anything lower level than that, as far as an overview of what counterparty technology enables,  as well as usage examples & setup guides go some info can be found here.

Phantom is working on the spec. right now,  and I have posted a wiki on assets (which includes information on issuing assets, trading on the DEX, paying dividends, etc.): https://wiki.counterparty.co/w/Assets.

The wiki on broadcasts and bets is undergoing another revision right now and will be up shortly. Between these two wikis, Counterparty's basic functionality ought to be covered.

The wikis have had to undergo several revisions in order to become more user-friendly, and any criticisms/suggestions are greatly appreciated, and, for the assets wiki, can be posted here: https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,142.msg962.html#msg962.

Thanks, that's great to know. Once it's comprehensive enough, I'll get started on creating a guide "for dummies". I hope this will help get the community started on a bit more 'outsider interaction', because currently XCP is fragile in terms of PR.

Yeah, unfortunately this is way too complex for the average person at the moment. And I don't think WIKI and Github links are the best method for explanation for laymen, because of the marketing 'aspect' or 'flavor' that they add to the conveyed information.

EDIT: Note that the section on trades involving BTC is quite short right now because we are currently considering whether and how to revise it. For those who are interested in the discussion, please see the thread on the official forums: https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,132.0.html.

The Wiki looks great. Do you need any help with any of the content?

That is great to hear. Matt (user "Matt Y") and I are actually beginning to work on a "Getting Started" guide. As you can imagine, though, until Counterwallet is live on mainnet, using Counterparty will still not be completely straightforward.

Matt is the one who will really be taking the lead on the guide. If you are interested, please PM me or him.

You tell me.

I think that all the *content* that is needed is there, but in terms of presentation I am very interested in hearing what the community has to say.

Funny, to me I never thought of xcp as for the layman. We will still be trillionaires without my mother in law using it. Counterparty does need PR and
the devs have already hired someone and a good one in my opinion. Compared to my other love interest Nxt, I think counterparty is doing a superb
job. The devs aren't perfect but I sleep well at night with my XCPs all tucked in their crib next to my bed.

PS: Its not like I'm against joe schmo adoption. I just didn't think it was our market. You can't be all things to all people. But I'm not against mass
adoption if it happens. I can have two three 24k gold underwears then.

Absolutely. My pleasure. I wrote up an example of a way to give examples in the wiki that make it easy for people to use the correct form in the examples.

Someone else just showed me a similar error. Which branch are you using? Are you on the develop branch?

[nakaone]

great a good whitepaper is pure gold

[halfcab123]

I have a for dummies explanation of setup in my signature, but yeah I'm all for making an animated explanation. Is there someone here with vast knowledge of the protocol that can please call me and speak with me so I can ask questions to start making my film ?

Please PM me or respond ASAP. Like BiggestFish, CityGlut, someone with experience at a very fundamental level with this project. I need to gather information on a 1-on-1 basis over the phone and then I'll be ready to get started making that video. I guarantee you, you will NOT be disappointed.

I have already showcased some of my work earlier in the thread.


In addition, I had a question. Would it be easy/possible for an exchange to list individual assets as seperate from XCP ? So if I make an asset, Poloniex could list it ?

Looks like the error involves the communication with bitcoind

Thanks for the write up! I'm waiting for something more user-friendly but if I find myself in a bind where I need to exchange XCP this will come in handy.

It is technically possible. However, for the exchanges to do it, it needs to make business sense. If you asset can provide a high amount of trading volume, then they are more likely to add it.

So far all talk no work with XCP. No easy way for a lazy like me to buy/sell some

What else can we do to help get the Poloniex fee shares listed on CounterParty?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=500157.0


Support from our XCP community alone should be enough for Poloniex to be up and running again.

Assuming Busoni is okay with issuing shares to cover the deficit.
It should be quite easy to setup in counterparty, we just need one of the trusted members to create an asset, lock it and transfer ownership to Busconi.
The shareholders can be paid monthly/weekly dividends in BTC or XCP.

GlaDOS can do that, he's an experienced CAKE seller
