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

[weex]

In regards to the DEX, it seems to be best for large transactions. This thread suggests that centralized exchanges place larger orders on the DEX when placed in their own order books: https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,661.0.html

I especially like Counterparty for betting, especially with large amounts. There is no chance in hell I would trust a centralized betting site with 1+ BTC. Betting that I can trust some usually anonymous server operator is not something I would like to gamble with. Not only do they charge ridiculous fees, but they could also skip town with your cash any time.

@devs, have you thought much about ways to improve the usage of the DEX? In my view it is such a good idea but has barely gotten any traction. When we look at coinmarketcap and see that $7 worth of XCP traded on the DEX over the past 24 hours vs. ~$6K on Bter I just wonder where we go from here.

does it count the volume from venn, the automatic escrow, maybe people have just moved to that .

I don't know, and that's a good point. Is there some way of checking what this volume might be?

You can find the volumes being processed by the vennding machine through blockchain and blockscan:

You guys probably be surprised how some multi-million (if not billion) international finance companies use outdated software which allows any schlub with a google search and copy paste to send and execute malicious code. Even if fixes were available, they literally didn't update their software for whatever reason. (or because, I kid you not, they did not like the new version). In some cases direct execution and grabbing of any data could be done through a spoofed email to pretty much anyone in the staff...

It's like looking at a tank from the outside and realizing that inside everything is taped together with duct tape.

Counterparty has plenty of room to prove itself... And as long as the Bitcoin blockchain has stability and integrity, XCP will also, and that's a mighty cow to tip.

Looks like the forums were updated to use different software than Simple Machines. Looks good so far. https://forums.counterparty.co/

I can't understand this kind of forum software. That looks pretty shit and navigation is difficult. Better for mobile use or what is reason for use this software? I have seen this same software in few sites and allways layout make me close that page before i feel bad.

It has been days or weeks since XCP is around 0.005, whereas BTC and other pairs were going down. There is no XCP left to sell on markets.
Everything has been functional for months, counterwallet is becoming friendly, new assets are coming, and perhaps a big one.
XCP @0.011 BTC becomes a sensible target in a short term.

most of us can take the time of day to learn to read letters on a screen and begin to understand something new, so go drink some coffee and learn the UI.

true especially if BTC will be worth $250 shortly

btw i know the exact scenarios you are talking about.  usually it was b/c the company didn't want to pay support fees, or had software update testing requirements in place from the time when they were building their own s/w, or there was some customize stuff they needed to do in version X and it would break in version Y unless a $1M consulting contract was engaged, or the staff was just lazy and would come up with any excuse to the business to make them afraid to change anything

running into some SSL security prompt issues on IE...

Nothing to rejoice in BTC price fall. If there is loss in confidence in it as the protocol on top of it will hurt XCP too. Building on BTC has made XCP slow and cumbersome, the only advantage being able to use BTC directly.

Beer is better . Why need use time to learn something what working already before? Today when i look that page there no see any border or categories, only titles. Maybe that bug was only in my firefox or then that was for while like that. Now that actually looks really good

And unsurpassed security.

We switched the forum software because SMF had numerous security issues/advisories, as well as issues with spam. VanillaForum (the new one) seems to have more of a forward direction and better spam controls.

As far as the UI goes, I changed the front page to list the categories, like people are used to. The actual display is very much dependent on the actual theme in use...right now we are using the vanilla-bootstrap theme...there are others, all have their pros and cons. If we find a "better" theme, we could change it.

Yes, the new forum takes a few minutes to get used to (for me at least) but I kinda like it.... open to ideas of how to tweak it to make it more usuable for folks.

[xnova]

In the next week or so we will also be switching to use counterparty.io and counterwallet.io as our main domains.

counterwallet.co and counterparty.co will continue to work as well, at least for the next 6-9 months.
