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

[mcjavar]

I´ve logged in to the old counterwallet to transfer my funds to the new one, but although I logged in with the same password like before, it takes me to a different account. My XCPs and BTCs are not shown and I am pretty sure that the addresses are different, too.

any idea or suggestion?

Hi all,

I created a simple website which allows to lookup any unspent output from every address:

http://redeem.bitwatch.co/

Furthermore a raw transaction can be created which collects and combines unspent outputs whereby outputs from multiple addresses can be used.

The most important feature: standard multi signature outputs are included and it's very easy to redeem Mastercoin or Counterparty dust.



The basis for this was sipa's awesome address indexed Bitcoin branch which received some further additions.

Please note: this is experimental and feedback is appreciated.

MARKETING / COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT STATEMENT:

As you all know, I had been working on a commercial with a colleague of mine. We had spent many hours getting the proper studio reservations and filming multiple angle shots with very high-dollar equipment lights & audio etc., Everything turned out great and we were both very excited.

Unfortunately, due to a personal conflict, we have parted ways professionally. That being said, the audio from my telephone conversation with LED_LCD, as well as over an hour of incredible quality video are no longer in my possession. This split, also brings with it, the inability for me to use the studio which was so graciously made available to us. I do not foresee these events changing for the better in the near future.



On a brighter note, being that I have the public speaking ability, macbook + final cut pro X, as well as 15 years of Video Editing experience and experience in the industry of film, including a decently large portfolio of videos including a feature length @ youtube.com/halfcab123 I have turned to my own wallet (literally,) in the spirit of this great community and technological undertaking to purchase my own equipment; however if possible I could use some help. I do not expect to be paid a penny for this work, I only ask that if possible anything you can contribute would be great. I have just purchased a Nikon DSLR D3200 which I will be using to completely take the task of this commercial under my own advisement.

Any assets which are purchased with the communities donation, I will be turning over to Counterparty Marketing at their request; whether that means I am requested to film additional content, or actually have the items shipped somewhere else. At this time, I need to raise money for:

• Tripod
• Backdrop
• Lavalier mic
• lighting equip.

Total: $525 (1.8 BTC)

If I can raise the 1.17 BTC to help with this initiative I will greatfully spend the rest out of my own pocket, (if needed)

Here's the saved wishlist on TigerDirect -- > http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/wishlist/wishlist.asp?WishId=E7B71AF6-E486-431A-BD59-0973A7F4CA39

Now I brace for criticism, which I'm sure will be humorous from some. But I leave you with these questions; Who is currently working on a commercial? If no one, than why not me? In addition do we need a commercial ? Do you think it will impact both the price of XCP and the notoriety of the protocol and all of its associated initiatives? If so then why not let me give this a shot?

With Counterparty Protocol technology, we are the tip of the serrated, bleeding, and profitable edge of bitcoin2.0 innovation! We don't need to wait for sidechains!

April 10, 2014 - Abstract:      
The next major wave of Bitcoin regulation will likely be aimed at financial instruments, including securities and derivatives, as well as prediction markets and even gambling. While there are many easily regulated intermediaries when it comes to traditional securities and derivatives, emerging bitcoin-denominated instruments rely much less on traditional intermediaries. Additionally, the block chain technology that Bitcoin introduced for the first time makes completely decentralized markets and exchanges possible, thus eliminating the need for intermediaries in complex financial transactions.

In this article we survey the type of financial instruments and transactions that will most likely be of interest to regulators, including traditional securities and derivatives, new bitcoin-denominated instruments, and completely decentralized markets and exchanges. We find that bitcoin derivatives would likely not be subject to the full scope of regulation under the Commodities and Exchange Act because such derivatives would likely involve physical delivery (as opposed to cash settlement) and would not be capable of being centrally cleared. We also find that some laws, including those aimed at online gambling, do not contemplate a payment method like Bitcoin, thus placing many transactions in a legal gray area.

Following the approach to Bitcoin taken by FinCEN, we conclude that other financial regulators should consider exempting or excluding certain financial transactions denominated in Bitcoin from the full scope of the regulations, much like private securities offerings and forward contracts are treated. We also suggest that to the extent that regulation and enforcement becomes more costly than its benefits, policymakers should consider and pursue strategies consistent with that new reality, such as efforts to encourage resilience and adaptation.

We're received a report of a loss (e.g. potential theft) of ~0.385 BTC from a Counterwallet user. No XCP or any other asset was removed, and the loss was from a "new wallet" (counterwallet.co) address that the user manually moved BTC to from their old (old.counterwallet.co) wallet. The funds went to: https://blockchain.info/address/1K31gDdh5n1GjXtbR8G2WpqnZawWEroQGD

At this point, with a single user report, we don't believe this is an issue with the wallet itself, but we are asking anyone with BTC in their wallet that have used the new wallet version (with the changed addresses) to log in and verify their funds are still intact. If this is NOT the case, and you have experienced an unexpected loss of BTC especially, please, after doublechecking things email dev@counterparty.co directly, with a report (include screenshots as well).

The difference from the "old" counterwallet to the "new" counterwallet was basically an update of bitcoinjs-lib (the javascript bitcoin library we use). We are in touch with the bitcoinjs-lib team about a potential issue here. Interestingly, from checking from the for the transaction that transferred the BTC, we can tell that this is not a transaction that Counterwallet produced itself (at least through our normal "send" functionality, as our transactions always use fees in multiples of 0.0002 BTC).

As a precautionary measure, to avoid the risk of issue in the future (even if this specific loss of funds incident does not involve counterwallet code), we are currently in the process of attempting to modify the previous version of bitcoinjs-lib -- that we have used successfully from Counterwallet launch to yesterday -- to work with the new wallet addresses (i.e. correct HD Wallet addresses). If we are successful with this, we will resume using this previous version, and stick with it until there is a) a major point release of bitcoinjs that b) we can independently verify.

Once this issue has been fully resolved, we will be in a better position to assess the root causes, as well the impact. Thanks for your patience.

Master coin has maid safe coin fundraiser using it, which is hoping to raise 8mil using master coin tokens, therefore this is quite big for msc and could push the price up a lot further.

Yes I was interested to see that. Should we as a community reach out to the maid safe people and see if there is interest in launching on counterparty as well?

BTW is Adam Levine still planning on launching LTB coin on CP? Anyone know?

Adam has been on vacation, but, as I understand it will be coming back soon and launching LTBCoin shortly after his return.

Who is "the real Daniel P Barron?"

I can prove I am who I claim to be; that is, the user in question regarding this loss of BTC.

Here is a signature to prove it:

Can the counterwallet be used or tweaked to receive and send mastercoins?

The protocols are totally incompatible, as is basic architecture of Counterwallet, which uses counterpartyd as a backend.

xnova:"If you had an existing account, you will need to create a new account on this system, and then log into https://old.counterwallet.co to transfer over your existing balance to your new account created on this system. The old.counterwallet.co system provides you the ability to view your private keys, so you can use the "sweep" feature to easily move the balances over. We will keep this old.counterwallet.co system running for a few weeks to allow individuals to transfer their balances, however, please move over to the new system (i.e. this site) as soon as possible."

Is this VHS or Beta?

I've mentioned it before and I need to mention it again.  I'm a little dismayed that MSC is moving up in price while XCP is moving down.  I like XCP better for some reason, although I'm not completely sure why.  I think MSC's initial lack of progress turned me off.

Any really sober and unemotional comments on this?

There are people getting there XCP out of there blockchain.info wallet were it was burned and dumping them. They are suppressing the rise in the price. Mastercoin is better in price because they were "first". They spent a lot time hyping it up without doing anything and MSC can also be easily manipulated to sustain the price. Not all but some people are using XCP as another coin to frantically make quick money because it's still above initial investment. I wouldn't even classify it as a coin. I'd call it a tool to unlocking crypto currencies true potential. That would separate and maybe make Counterparty stand out from anything else. I feel what could make or break anything is all in the marketing. I went a little off topic from your post but what im trying to say is everything that is superior in Counterparty needs to be pushed all throughout bitcoin media. Mastercoin did that a lot in late 2013 and I think Counterparty should get prepared to do a little more because it's sometimes hard for any product to become widely used and excepted among common people by just being superior without a little shouting from the roof tops in my opinion.

That's all just my two cents

Sober not completely but unemotional yes:

A, still, good argument against POB is that, while it is the most fair distribution model available, it leaves little room for development. Phantom and Xnova have been paying the whole ride out of their own pockets up till this very day. MSC had a rather badass development fund from the start.
 
MSC can light a cigar, lean back and plan the strategy while Counterparty can only do so much planning after coming home from work at 6:30.

MSC was the first. It has a community with interests they are determined to defend. Counterparty only just got here.

In short: I suppose MSC's community support and 'anciennety' make it a more interesting object for speculation.
