Great news, enabling good quality cold storage is very important.

Hi guys, we're beginning to translate Counterwallet to other languages.
We have translators for French, German, and Chinese (Taiwan)

Looking for translators for other languages, including mainland Chinese, Russian, Japanese, etc.

The translation project page is at: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/counterwallet

if interested in doing (and maintaining!) a translation, please email ouziel@counterparty.co and he can add you.

Just sent an email request to add me to translate to Italian.

Cold storage for XCP and Counterparty assets can be accomplished using any Bitcoin address where you own the private key. This adds the ability to easily access your funds while in cold storage, without compromising the security of your wallet.

For some reason our Counterparty relevant post annoucing the release of our asset is being deleted from this thread for being 'off-topic'. It would be great if an actual reason could be given, since other announcements have been made here without any problems (e.g. GEM, Xbet, Tangible Trust, and many more.)

It may have been deleted for being completely idiotic?

Some people may see it as begging any rich people that may be reading this for a bitcoin. On deciding to give money away, most wealthy people would probably rather help a good cause!

Or they may want to spend it on gold grills and spinning rims, it's not up for anyone to decide but themselves. What it shows is the creation of another successful asset on the Counterparty network, and its partially humorous nature may attract some much needed attention.

The point of the blockchain is to be tamper and censorship-resistant, so it is really kind of ironic for information about our asset to be removed.

Yes exactly! I think we're in agreement now that whatever the rich want to spend their money on; they'd sooner burn it then give it to a moronic stranger on an internet forum. That brings us back round to my original reply to you, that they probably deleted it for being an idiotic post begging for money!

Actually, while you may recommend them to burn their money. We are offering a product in exchange for value.

Anyone here follow BitSharesX? It seems like a scam or at the very least a beta project that makes a lot of unsubstantiated claims. How does counterparty plan to continue differentiating itself from such obvious scams, and is there a contingency plan for when the SEC or other govt. entity does a crackdown that doesn't differentiate between legitimate projects like counterparty that are done with little hype and plenty of real development vs. altcoins like bitsharesX that smell really bad?

Some of the articles on here discuss the problems with bitshares http://prestonbyrne.com/back-of-the-envelope/

Serious replies appreciated!

Counterparty separates itself from scams by not being a scam. If there is ever government action in the 2.0 space, Counterparty sits head and shoulders above other projects as there were no funds raised (no IPO). It's worth noting that Counterparty is an open, agnostic platform. Legislation and regulation will occur jurisdiction by jurisdiction while Counterparty is available world wide.

Also, we kind of touched on this in recent posts, but it's worth noting that Counterparty's development team is crushing everyone else. Perhaps I'm wrong and it's somehow a close race between Counterparty and other project devs (if it were even a competition). Even so, we're sitting on devs that are funding our project completely out of their pockets as they work on it full-time (giving them a significantly higher cost per XCP than everyone else). That, above all else, makes me confident in the future of Counterparty. They know what the road map is better than anyone else and they, as intelligent, informed individuals, are continuing to dump time and money into a quickly moving project that appears to be accelerating.

Bitshares is not a scam

I'm not an expert so don't take my word for it, but I think if the SEC have a problem with anyone it would be with people who use CounterParty to issue assets which they class as securities - not counterparty itself and not every asset issuer automatically. In that case it is up to each asset issuer to make sure they comply with any relevant laws (or to make sure they can't be found, lol).

[romerun]

calling Bit whatever they want, yet still has to be backed up by some centralized entities right ? I don't really get it. What are benefits over other 2.0 projects ?

[prosperous]

How does counterparty plan to continue differentiating itself from such obvious scams.

I've heard that the main difference is that Counterparty didn't raise any funds. Other projects such as BitShares asked for and received Bitcoins from investors, which makes them liable.

[daviducsb]

I agree. And no promises that funds are safer than in a bank (big bits warning flag- just incredible). A bunch of developers plugging away on a very useful platform is very different than an ego-maniac developer making outlandish claims in convoluted language. What initially drew me to counterparty was in part the developer's modest and no-nonsense mission statement.

But the fact that fundamentally it is a collaborative project and not a money grab ultimately differentiates it.

MSC tx is considered as spam. I am wondering if XCP have the same issue?

Yes, XCP is blocked explicitly.

As well as all m-of-n transactions are blocked in general (which are 85 % metacoin transactions) on Eligius.

Furthermore:

SatoshiDice, BetCoin Dice, 1JwSSubhmg6iPtRjtyqhUYYH7bZg3Lfy1T ("correct horse battery staple"), SatoshiBones and Lucky Bit.

And transactions trying to spend coins received by blacklisted output.

I think Counterparty and Mastercoin should sit down together and talk about some sort of future together. It's two different developments of the same technology and both are going to face the same problem in the future: the hardcore bitcoin folks. I don't put it past the core devs, or pool owners to eventually block bitcoin 2.0 technologies. It would only make sense to start talking now about some sort of permanent fix. Perhaps a bitcoin 2.0 merge mined chain (or why not use Namecoin anyway?). It would even perhaps give a chance to build a sidechain that was faster, so we aren't waiting for several blocks to confirm for something to update on our bitcoin2.0 wallets.

How does it work then if it's blocked?
