Theodore "Duncan" Krostue Brings a Personal Touch to CounterParty Public Relations and Group Meetings as New Outreach Manager

Duncan draws on a strong history of decentralized internet publishing, peer to peer technology, blockchain tech, cryptoart, and online agency experience along with an academic background of informatics and marketing to offer public relations duties a competent voice. Over the last four years he has rooted himself as a publisher, heavy user, elected representative and now as Outreach Manager of CounterParty. Getting the newsletter on a regular publication schedule and the monthly meeting streaming again are top priorities for this new brand manager and spokesperson. Starting immediately he is calling for submissions of articles and contact from projects as well as reaching out to press agencies in order to facilitate healthier communication between the community of users and the general public.

Duncan looks forward to a fruitful future for all involved with the CounterParty protocol, from publishers to collectors and especially innovators. To kick off his duties, Duncan is asking for any and all leads for articles or authors to reach out at CounterPartyTalk.org and/or email him directly at the official account: press@counterparty.io. He is now taking information from those interested in presenting information in the upcoming July 2021 newsletter or yet to be scheduled teleconference late next month. Updates about existing projects will be sought out and retold if not volunteered. Please contribute by sending a short synopsis and contact information for new projects or relevant information that should be included in the upcoming issue and or episode.

In just under 24 hours Counterparty will host our first Developer Meeting in over a year. While previously this has been hosted in other platforms, instead we are delighted to be able to use Telegram due to recent upgrades. Please join us in the Official Counterparty Chat, on Sunday, July 18th at noon EST in the voice channel for an informal meeting about what upgrades Counterparty has had in the last year. This will also be a great opportunity to showcase something you have been working on! Please send an email to press@counterparty.io as soon as you are able, if you are interested in presenting.

If you are unable to attend a great way to catch up on what has been going on in the community would be to read our newsletter. The current issue was posted earlier this month. If you are on the eMail list, you should have already received a link. https://counterparty.io/news/counterparty-newsletter-july-2021/

Hi guys - long-time holder here. What are the easiest ways to trade XCP in 2021?  What exchanges have sufficient volume?
Appreciate any first-hand experience.

Hi, Is it possible to claim the BONUSBTC on Counterparty wallet still ??

[J-Dog]

BONUSBTC is a scam token sent to peoples wallets to trick them into trying to login to a fake counterwallet instance using their 12-word passphrase... at that point the scammers have the 12-word passphrase for the persons wallet and then steal the funds/assets in the wallet

I have updated xchain.io to no longer display the BONUSBTC asset description which contained the URL to the fake counterwallet login.... This should hopefully stop some ppl from losing funds to these scammers.

Same scam with COUNTEREVENT asset was pulled years ago as well.

Now selling some XCP for BTC..

PM me..

[eddie13]

Counterparty has been so good to me..
Thank you so much!!

Maybe the high transaction fees problem can be sidestepped by making a clone of Counterparty on a blockchain that uses the same address format as bitcoin so that for each bitcoin address that exact same address works on the other chain; and is merged-mined alongside bitcoin so has a very high difficulty albeit not as high as bitcoin's since not all bitcoin miners do merged mining.

I am thinking of DeVCoin, which admittedly is based on bitcoin code that by now is a little old, but should not be too hard to bring up to date if newfangled features of bitcoin are desired.

Counterparty could even be updated to be able to retain linkage to bitcoin's own blockchain by periodically doing bitcoin-chain counterparty transactions bring the bitcoin chain up to date with various transactions that have happened on the cheaper chain, to pin it all back to bitcoin's level of difficulty/security from time to time.

This is an ingenious and secure way to help XCP transact on a merge mined/compatible address carrying chain

XCP TX fees set at like $1 fly..

As it has become really difficult to trade XCP in the last few years (it's no longer listed on any reputable exchanges), and I'm still a strong believer, contact me if you have some XCP you would like to cash out (to BTC or USDT). After agreeing on the terms, trades are completed within 12-24 hours!

It’s pretty easy to buy/sell using dispensers on FreeWallet or whatever dex wallet you choose..

Or I could sell you some xcp.. PM me how much you want..

Not familiar with dispensers!  Any good resources on what they are and how to use them?

Quick questions:
 1. Do they have sufficient volume?
 2. Once you have created your dispenser, how do people find it? Is there somewhere you need to list/advertise it?
 3. How do you determine the current market rate? Say, for XCP-BTC
 4. Does Counterwallet support them too? I've tried FreeWallet (web version) but couldn't see any option to create a dispenser.

Looks like I've got some research to do...

Get FreeWallet desktop version and explore it..
Lots of volume, people find them by viewing available dispensers, I consider current market rate as lowest price dispenser sell (give 1), you can also do it on wallet.counterwallet.io , atleast their is an option for creating dispensers there but I have not used it for dispensers..

FreeWallet works great

Thanks a lot, I will do some testing.
BTW, do you know what happens if a dispenser shows as available, but gets emptied right before you send some BTC to it?  Can the BTC potentially be lost?

What I have seen happen is that all unconfirmed TXs get canceled..

I’ve had a few times where it was oversold in the unconfirmed, and just none of them go through, like they cancel..
I don’t think I’ve ever got “free BTC” out of it, more like nice buy orders get canceled on me..

But.. That doesn’t mean it can’t happen.. idk

+1 For Freewallet.io  (not to be confused with that shady eth freewallet).

I have been using XCP Counterparty's freewallet for 4+ years  i just found out today, the older version 0.9.9 (something like that) Does not auto update.

So i went to the counterparty website and updated to new version.  0.9.19  and there are many more features in the wallet and everything looks unlocked (so you dont need to hold Xchainpepe nft for example)

It appears by the sales, (good place to look here) https://xchain.io/
some forgotten projects are seeing a revival due to the NFT craze.


PS: where is the best place to buy and sell XCP?  I dont trust that "zaif" exchange (or whatever it is called)
So it seems the only safe way is via FreeWallet, correct?

[eddie13]

Yeah, dispensers are awesome for buying/selling xcp..
Huge volume..

[DesktopCommando]

Hi all  - I am just writing up a guide on how to trade XCP NFTs on Ethereum & Matic (without them leaving the XCP Blockchain).

This will enable those of you to access sites like Opensea & Rariable to sell your NFTs

It will also give you an opportunity to trade XCP itself on NFT platforms, giving you more pairings than you currently have at present.

This is not an attempt to scam anyone - please read the guide when released, hopefully later tonight (UK Time) DYOR and read it through first.

I knew I should have bought more PEPEs .........

You can also go for Counterwallet.io. I've been using it since I first heard about Counterparty in 2016 and invested a little. It's still a bit old-fashioned and cannot be compared to other wallets, but it does its job well. And you always have the latest version without having the need to constantly update.

Counterparty is back thriving with active devs again and a lot of action..
More $ volume than I can ever remember happening..

I hope that Counterparty will get back on its feet. I think it has a good chance. Despite the years in which there was little development, the protocol has little competition in its field. And it would be cool to see NFT and other side projects on the Bitcoin chain. Tired of using ETH and SOL and all the others for such use cases.
