I'm seeing 2 opens on 1 XCP RPS game, why don't they match ?

I'm seeing 2 opens on 1 XCP RPS game, why don't they match ?

2 games from the same address

or

2 games with different possible-moves (RPS and RPSSL in CW)

[coin.princess]

Trustless RPSLS is definitely interesting idea.  Bet matching and some other things seem like they would be an especially big challenge.

If you want fast matching for RPSLS (single and multiplayer), you should check out

Provably Fair. Over 1.1M rounds played of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

I think the UI should have a way to display all opening games with different wagers. Because the fun of RPS is playing against the same player over and over.

you right. I will add somewhere the address of open and closed games.
Also I will check if possible to associate game with the chat nickname... but anyway you can not choose the player against your game will match..
the best way for now is to decide together an 'exotic' wager like 1.4321 and both play it.
If there is a lot of interest for this we can eventually add a parameter to make a game match only against a given address.

XCP - The future of crypto-commodities trading, direct from farmer to food.

If you have 1 SOYBEANS, you can trade it in for 1 pound of my food grade soybeans before the end of 2014.

...

DISCLAIMER: This is not a currency, security, or any other sort of money transmission instrument or regulated commodities trade. If you buy SOYBEANS, you are buying a pre-order coupon(s) exchangeable for 1 pound of food-grade non-gmo soybeans. The transaction is only considered final once the US dollars for selling bitcoin actually end up in a 7 elements LLC bank account.

LOL, good luck with this.  Technically, a "coupon" that represents an ownership interest in soybeans is a security.  A "coupon" is literally, historically, a little tear-off piece of an actual security document.  But you would at least have a decent argument against facing any kind of regulatory action, in that the SEC makes absolutely no attempt to regulate similar securities issued by companies such as Groupon and LivingSocial.

That's kinda what I figure. They would have to explain why kickstarter, Ripple labs, and any place that offers store credit gets a get-out-of-regulation free coupon

Really the closest thing is I'm trying to apply the CSA model (community supported agriculture), where the customers share in some part of the production and/or price risk with the farmers.

I'm testing out Rock-Paper-Scissor. I'm playing with 1 XCP.

It's still pending after four hours. It will be matched as soon as someone else plays, right?

The game matched eventually. I guess there was no one else playing for a while, that's why I had to wait.
But after it matched it seemed that my wallet did not post my move. After several blocks I logged out and then in again, and the game resolved correctly.

Question to developers; is it possible for anyone to issue a bet where the winner is determined by a specified pattern in a future block hash/merkle root?

It's possible. I guess the only thing turning counterparty team off is it can be manipulated by mining. Although I think it's still worth doing, because users should accept the risk before playing. The risk should be minuscule, until the feature gets too grand. And this would allow trustless crowdfund dicing like CHA (last time I checked, they used the NY lottery thing as seed).

Developers: Just released Counterpartyd 9.32.0 to develop branch. This change includes some potentially backwards incompatible changes. With this release, the entire backend engine code was switched from cherrypy to flask. this shouldn't impact users of the API, except that some existing checks were made stronger. Specifically: if you use non-named/position arguments with any API calls, you will get an error (where before some API calls would work with positional args, but all the get_ ones wouldn't).

Backwards incompatible changes: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/blob/develop/docs/API.rst#9320
Full changeset: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/commit/0cd7e3600041efff842e1abb48ba349d756713dc

If you develop against counterpartyd, please test your code against this new release. Pending no issues, we will be promoting this to master in 5 days to a week or so.

Counterparty mentioned along Mastercoin and Etherium in newest Bitcoin 101 video:
http://youtu.be/fCtf9eumuhU?t=22m54s

Project page here:
http://climatecolab.org/web/guest/plans/-/plans/contestId/1300404/planId/1305801

The idea is basically to create a carbon cap-and-trade system based on bitcoin. Everyone shall receive a share and be able to lease it out to polluters.

Is it possible to lease out a share with Counterparty? Will it be possible in the future? In the project comment section I see Etherium mentioned several times but not Counterparty.

10K BTC or $6-7m to build a platform? I'm not sure that it's all that greedy given the valuation that BitPay and Xapo recently received.

Wow... I'm delighted!
Can't wait to burn my tokens on such a noble cause.

AFAIK not within the protocol.

I am pleased to see Devs are implementing reasonable reccos and there is now a disclaimer about buying XCP through counter wallet!

Nice job guys. Definitely better late than never and great to see the responsiveness!

Rock on.

Hi guys, counterwallet will be going down for about 30 minutes, while we rebuild the counterblockd database. This is necessary to fix some balance bugs that certain users were getting.

EDIT: cw01 rebuild has completed. Counterwallet balance issues should be resolved now.

[xnova]

Development update

* BTER-like Dex interface is undergoing final testing.

* The nasty CLOSE_WAIT bug I think I've found the fix to, that has been causing stability issues on Counterwallet. Undergoing final testing tonight to ensure that is the case, and will deploy tomorrow if so.

* Also... get ready... for offline Armory support in Counterwallet! Add an address in an offline armory wallet (https://bitcoinarmory.com/about/using-our-wallet/) to your Counterwallet, and do something (like send some XCP from that address), which will produce the armory unsigned transaction text. Copy it to a USB key, take it to your offline computer running armory (which has the private keys), sign it on that computer via the armory GUI, and then broadcast the signed transaction back in Counterwallet.

This will make use of assets owned in this address very secure...basically cold storage of Counterparty assets, with almost the usability of a hot wallet. Personally very excited about this... I know I'll be using it.

Amazing. Thank you devs.
