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

[qwertyqwerty]

Sorry if this is a dumb question or not really in the scope of the protocl but I had an idea a while ago that I would like to make into a reality if possible;

1) issue an asset ie: DOMINOS on the DEX. Each share would equate to one 10$ pizza voucher
2) The buyer would pay in DEX or BTC (pegged to USD) or whatever mechanism is suitable so that issuer does not lose money
3) somehow the voucher would be sent to the buyer. As I understand this is not possible in the protocol itself, but maybe the buyer would prove they have ownership of 1 DOMINOS with a key or signed message or something, and then be able to input some proof of ownership to a web-site, the voucher would then be automatically sent to an email address provided and marked as spent.

 is such at thing possible? I love the idea of the decentralised exchange & if possible want to built some link to the 'real-world' on it.

My understanding is the asset DOMINOS, will act like a giftcard for 10$. So, the customer can purchase this asset in the distributed exchange.
When they need to redeem it for a pizza for 10$, they would send 1.0 DOMINOS to an address owned by the Business. On receipt of this transaction the Business would then ship the pizza. (This can be handled by an intermediate service provider).

Thank you. This makes sense
I am interested in launching such a service. Will try to give it some more study.

Not sure where to report bugs, I hope this gets to the correct person.



This happens if "language for non-unicode programs" is set to cp1251, as seen here.

Makes sense, but who actually does get the BTC fee? The seller? The "Limbo"? Myself?

I've been wondering the same thing. I had always thought the "fee required" was returned to the BTC sender, and was just there so that people would lose the fee required if they placed a troll order and never followed through by sending BTC. Is this not the case?

The miner will get the fee.

The fees are paid to the miners.

I had this and the problem resolved itself after I ran ./setup.py again. (ie I had to run ./setup.py twice)

A centralized solution built on top of a decentralized one.. hm. Possibly have to wait for decentralized servers or ethereum for that one

[BitzMD]

I don't get why someone is trying hard to lower the price , if someone wants to sell a large amount of coins do it on the decentralized exchange for God's sake.

You are very good at design. Artist! When will it be integrated in the BoottlexXCP client?

Could Counterparty be used as a good enabler for bitcoin crowdfunding? See http://startupboy.com/2014/03/09/the-bitcoin-model-for-crowdfunding/
