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

[eddie13]

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.

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.

Still needs to happen. Big win for CP users. You can use DVC chain like an EVM L2 Rollup but on Bitcoin.

bumpity bump bump. A thread about Devcoin making Counterparty OP_RETURN clean implemented and space saving code being in our 80 BYTE OP_RETURN since birth bc we MM with bitcoin. ICYDK (ref:https://github.com/devcoin/core/commit/cf3e03bad10368d96294769b740841919b636810 -- we just put this branch into our up and running Devcoin Core 22.x codebase.... Devcoin with everything Bitcoin Core 22.0.0 has plus our extensibility and Counterparty as it was meant to be, cheaper txns, and not bottlenecked by Bitcoin Core devs slashing you out of the 0.9.x version -- F*ck Jeff Garzik! jk lol)...

here is another abt/nft collection from 2017

make what you will of it.

https://opensea.io/collection/vintageprovenance

the 66k xcp vault is the first of its type, patent 1800-14-04.

all the vintage nfts have 2021 or laters vaults, this one was deployed in opposite order with the vault first and nft conversion in 2021 because opensea and such did not exist in 2017 and the images are 10 000 pixels as opposed to low res alternatives from that time which was not practical for on chain migration.

there is 3m to 300m illiquid value here but i dont have any cash to pay b*****b for ieo partnership and this can only be monetized with top 30 deal have been sitting through the entire nft boom without any connections to move this asset.

just wanna bump

Don't forget, when this Eth "Merge" hype ends and POS isn't very promising without all the leveraged platforms and VC loans, XCP will have a very promising use of its own that it will do on a better blockchain and network than "ETH" ever has:

Very cool to see Nili Lerner of NILIcoins getting some exposure for her 2014 Counterparty tokens... This was assuredly one of the first uses of token technology for artistic purposes.

Counterparty is currently the most alive its ever been, enjoying a "Historical NFT"-fueled renaissance. A shame this thread - which was the focal part of its community for years - is now so dead... This effect carries over forum-wide.

If you made old tokens back in the day and still have access to your Counterwallet, I'd like to see what you have as I may be interested in buying them. Feel free to send me a PM.

Is there currently development going on somewhere? I would be interested to follow the code progression, as I'm interested in the concept of turing complete smart contracts on the BTC chain.

They mention the following in the FAQ:

A new proposal is being built for a specific Counterparty VM.

I however don't know when this part was added to the FAQ site, and if it's also outdated.

Another concept I'm interested on is Picopayments - which would be Counterparty tokens on Lightning:

https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/picopayments-hub

But it seems to have been abandoned in 2017, albeit there are a few forks (this one seems however be the only one which has some own commits ...). Anyone has an idea if there is someone working on this still? Just because of the fee issue some of you mentioned this would be very useful, although of course there's also OmniBOLT in this niche.

I have used it for quite sizable amounts (BTC and others) and have never lost my coins..
I have had smaller amounts of coins (BTC and others) sitting in these wallets for an entire year and they are still there..

I imagine it will also only be as safe and your laptop/device, passwords used, encryption used, etc..
I also always make small test transactions, and triple check my addys..

I also vouch for the FreeWallet. Its a fantastic and highly-secure wallet. Works as a simple Bitcoin wallet just as good as any other, as well.

thanks for your answer, it convinced me enough and i've used it, i was just worried about losing money for the umpteenth time in the past, so i had to ask the experts here so i'm not wrong again

The problem is all the Counterparty development was from volunteers and the main developer sadly passed away a few years ago. There is no one being paid the big bucks from ICOs or companies to create or develop it further.
Whats tragic is this Picopayments looks like it would be a solid development in the furthering of a Bitcoin layer DEX that would remove the biggest issues of waiting for new blocks and fees.

Wonder who you're talking about as Adam K. was last online on this forum on Sept 21st.

No there is not but it still receives regular updates, largely thanks to J-Dog who is committed to keeping the protocol alive.

Devs developing on top of Counterparty are always at odds with figuring out how to get compensated for their work... it has to be at least partially a passion project or they won't have the motivation to get through it.
