Just want to send a shout out to the Counterparty Devs!  Thank you for all of the hard work to date!

Seeing the BitcoinTangibleTrust go live this week as the first business built on top of Counterparty must be incredibly exciting and gratifying for you all!

Businesses and Digital Assets powered by Counterparty

• BitcoinTangibleTrust - Bet and trade physical Gold on top of the bitcoin blockchain. A realworld business and asset that is backed by physical gold.
• LTBCoin - Official coin of the Let's Tak Bitcoin Show (One of the top Bitcoin podcasts).

• Others I might have missed ....

The vision is becoming a reality. I am proud to see what the Counteparty Devs + Community of Innovators and Entrepreneurs have accomplised. Lets keep at it.

Asking again, in case there is some interest.

I would be interested in a service which can interface with counterparty to allow a user to buy and later redeem a voucher
presumably, an asset would be created; for example 'amazongift10', the user would pay a price pegged to USD 10 equivalent to receive 1 'amazongift10', and would later navigate to a website, enter their email address and then make a tx of this asset, or some other similar mechanism. They can use the DEX to trade this asset too.

I can use API to demonstrate adequate reserves of said voucher, also can publish watch only address of reserves of BTC.

Please forgive my ignorance on the technical aspects.

If any developers out there feel they are capable of creating such a service (if it is even possible) please get in touch discuss & negotiate. I have BTC standing by to fund this project and push adoption of XCP.

I just did a push : https://github.com/JahPowerBit/counterpartyws

counterpartyws can now be used in 3 ways :

Heavy GUI
You must have bitcoind running. Counterpartyd follows blocks and uses local sqlite database to compose transaction.

Light GUI
You must have pyrpcwallet running and set composer-host and composer-port in config file. Counterpartyws uses distant counterpartyws running as Transactions Composer.

Transactions composer
You must have bitcoind running. Used by light counterpartyws to compose transactions.

We can say light wallet is ready in beta version (BoottleXCP is in fact only a GUI for counterpartyws, yes a GUI for a GUI ;-))
I need now to embed pyrpcwallet and counterpartyws in boottlexcp, and make intensive tests (Sorry about that, but I really do not have time to test as much as I should. But I planned to write tests as soon as I have time)

EDIT: Tomorrow I put online a counterpartyws in Transaction composer mode on xcpcomposer.jahpowerbit.org.

So we can effectively run a thin client interfacing with remote node without whole blockchain download?

How do I get the cool ocean background gui

well, if anyone can run a federated node( like the counterwallet implementation) instructions allude to it doesn't seem so bad at all.

Bitcoin Tangible Trust

Here is some feedback.
Item 1:
Use Case:
User A purchases 10 "Gold Coins" from Bitcoin Tangible Trust. BTT issues 10 coins of type GLDAEA and transfers ownership to User A. User A sells these coins to User B, via the distributed exchange.

After 6 months, User B would like to take physical delivery of their gold coins. So, user B would contact BitcoinTangibleTrust, provide evidence of the private key and request withdrawal. Would this scenario work? As the original purchaser is User A , can they be traded on the distributed exchange?

For redeeming the 10 coins, the current process is to provide evidence of private key. However, this might cause some confusion as the 10 GLDEA coins will still reside in the wallet of user B.

Shouldn't the user be sending you back the 10 GLDAEA coins and provide proof of private key by message signing. Once the transaction is confirmed, you should probably destroy those GLDAEA coins(send it to a burn address). This will greatly simplify the accounting as the total number of outstanding coins will equal the number of physical coins stored in the vault. (Also, this will prevent User B from fradulantly selling the re-demmeded GLDAEA coins to User C).

Item 2:
Once the webwallet is released. You might want to consider marketing the Gold for Bitcoin service to the broader Bitcoin community and not just the XCP community.

Item 3:
This item is probably already on your list. Once the content for the website is finalized, you might want to consider hiring a professional Designer to give the website a more polished look.

Yes, and I encourage all those who can, to install a counterpartyws server in Transaction composer mode. My first task on the todo list (cf. the README in github) is to add ability for the GUI to query multiple servers and compare the results.

So I'd assume this is because a 51% attack could happen ifi had several soft servers running proxies and had the majority of soft servers I could rewrite the database

Thanks Bellebite2014. We're with you and we think our site looks half-itty-half-assed, as well.

Your feedback is super helpful as it means not even the current value proposition and offer is better than the ugly appearance.

We need to rethink what folks really want/need.

Would you agree?

I would definitely consider hiring a Web designer, so that your initiative is taken seriously.

Fair enough. This is usually the first step of any business. Is there any market for it, and how do I fit in there ?
