any other news ? Is LTBcoin and Permacredits gonna make waves like maidsafe ?

in my opinion no - this is an organically growing project - which is totally fine. https://www.counterparty.co/counterparty-founders-inside-bitcoins-hong-kong

there three reasons for the very low market cap: 1.) the widespread distribution and still relatively good prices to sell for burners. 2.) there is in fact not much use for the currency xcp until now (despite dividend function - I think this will change) 3.) uncertainty due to the discussion with bitcoin core developers.

Good list. I would add a 4th item: The assumption that there will be sidechains and that these will solve everyone's problems and make XCP irrelevant. Sidechains got quite a lot of press a few weeks back.

There are still significant problems with implementing sidechains, and there's still not even a whitepaper. Not all of the bitcoin core devs even support sidechains right now.

About ROCKMINER ASSET NAME:

Good NEWS  PROBLEM SOLVED.

Coingifts  donated his ROCKMINER ASSET NAME  to rockxie (ROCKMINER CEO)

and Chinese xcp commnity members decided to donate him more than 100+xcp(including rockxie's 50xcp)

but Coingifts said :"that is a donation,i  don't need any return."

Thanks Coingifts!

ROCKMINER Counterparty information(still considering):

Hope Counterparty team will  have better solution for the assets name problem,we can't expect everyone will donate their asset name like Coingifts.  This  situation could happen second time easily.

[Gaman]

I also believe no.  LTBcoin is just based on a small website.  Imo, safecoin is too expensive.  It is valuing itself at $100+m

I don't agree with you. Many with MSC, why the MSC's market cap is 10* than XCP's?

To Xnova, PP and Cityglut:

I think this is big, for the core counterparty founders to come out of the dark. My thoughts are given the current environment, for a platform like counterparty to be taken seriously by the "business" community the need to put a face(s) behind the project is essential. Now that the core founders can come out openly and talk about the project, there is an increased accountability and the potential for more exposure (i.e via talk, interviews, conferences, etc)

May I be the first to say, thank you Robby, Adam and Evan (of the counterparty founders)

Cheers

4/23 - URGENT SECURITY NOTICE

With our focus on maximizing the security of Counterwallet, we now have two experts (a bitcoinjslib expert, and a web application security expert) in the process of reviewing the codebase.

What Happened
Due in part to this process, we have been notified of a security bug in bitcoinjs-lib (the bitcoin javascript library counterwallet uses) that was internally disclosed to us by the bitcoinjs-lib team yesterday evening. We worked with them on applying a fix, which was made live late last night and this security notice was drafted pending confirmation from the team. However it appears the bug has already been exploited in the wild to take BTC.

A list of these addresses is available here: https://blockchain.info/tx/474cce51a9c4b265d4da0257acb21a554563fd41200970996e2b8914dc6f1d68
(if you were a counterwallet user that was affected whose address is NOT on this list, please email dev@counterparty.co let us know)

Who is affected?
This bug affected The new counterwallet.co wallet (the old.counterwallet.co seems to be unaffected, and counterpartyd users / BootleXCP users are NOT affected). Also, the bug only affects addresses that have made two or more transactions from a given address, and then, will only affect that address. At this point, it appears only BTC was taken with a subset of counterwallet users.

What do I do?

To be safe, we are wanting ALL users with a wallet created on counterwallet.co to immediately go through the following procedure:

1. Log into your existing wallet account
2. Retrieve any copy down the private key for each address in your wallet (for each address, click on Address Actions, then Show Private Key, and copy that down)
3. Log out of the site, and then click Create New Wallet, and then log in with that new passphrase
4. Utilize the Import Funds feature to move the assets over.

Alternatively (if having problems with sweep), one can create the new wallet, then log into the old wallet and manually send the funds over. Please send over ALL funds, including XCP and other Counterparty assets.

I lost BTC. Can I get it back?
The Counterparty team is preparing a reimbursement program for people impacted by this bug. More details will be posted shortly.

EDIT: After creating your new wallet and transferring the funds over, send an email to dev@counterparty.co  including:

• a new address to which to send the reimbursed BTC funds
• the passphrase of the compromised wallet (i.e. the one with the address from which the funds were stolen). Please only send this passphrase after you have moved all of the funds out of this wallet. Unfortunately, we need this passphrase to prove that you are the actual owner of the address in this situation, as signing a message from the compromised address is not enough here, as the hacker could do that, as well.
  Please keep in mind that the Counterparty team will never ask for the passphrase of a wallet which holds funds

Thanks guys for working with us to get counterwallet (and bitcoinjs-lib) through this beta period. We remain committed to security of the web wallet, and will be continuing to make improvements on this front and work with our partners to do so.

[romerun]

ouch, I logged in a few hours ago, my btc was there, now it's gone

not sure why the hacker has left some dust to transfer xcp assets

[jpdeng]

I try to import the xcp from my old counterwallet to new counterwallet by private key.
It shows:

JSON-RPC Error:
Type: Server error

Code: -32000

Message: Insufficient bitcoins at address 1ErxVWDdChKrSpc6Suu4Bied6vBAXpqi7x. (Need approximately 0.0095914 BTC.)

Actually, there is 0.0095914 BTC at address 1ErxVWDdChKrSpc6Suu4Bied6vBAXpqi7x.

Thanks!

I get same error message and btc balance was same also than what that asking to have and JahPowerBit write me this:

"Seems you have a lot of outputs in this address and min fee not enough. We have a fix for this, but we are waiting some other fixes to push online. Sorry for this delay. I keep you inform."

Thanks you very much!

Thanks guys for working with us to get counterwallet (and bitcoinjs-lib) through this beta period. We remain committed to security of the web wallet, and will be continuing to make improvements on this front and work with our partners to do so.

Looks like the hacker stole... about 0.0005 BTC from me, but I could be wrong? which I'm not worried about, but its weird cause the blockchain shows I have 0.0007, while the wallet shows i have 0.0002.. I don't know if that means I was a victim of theft or not..

[cityglut]

How to be reimbursed

After creating your new wallet and transferring the funds over, send an email to dev@counterparty.co  including:

• a new address to which to send the reimbursed BTC funds
• the passphrase of the compromised wallet (i.e. the one with the address from which the funds were stolen). Please only send this passphrase after you have moved all of the funds out of this wallet. Unfortunately, we need this passphrase to prove that you are the actual owner of the address in this situation, as signing a message from the compromised address is not enough here, as the hacker could do that, as well.
