Doesnt show the Mastercoins.

I've posted a thread up in the main part of bitcointalk asking for Bitcoin 2.0 technologies like Mastercoin be moved out of the Alt-Coin section. I think it would be helpful if people were to show support for moving us out of alt-coins which will give us a better chance to coordinate and discuss outside of this cesspool.

EDIT: Nevermind: the powers that be were swift in burying the post down in Meta/other so no one can see it.

Bitcoin has an innovation problem: people don't want to innovate with it.

I think that is a good idea honestly and it would help in multiple ways IMO.  People on the outside looking in must have no clue what the difference is from Coins like MSC versus all the clones and scams the are in the Altcoin section.  I'm not sure this is the fix but if it helps distinguish some of the differences in the Alt coin market I don't think it will hurt.

Didn't the main developer of counterparty walk away from mastercoin to do his own thing? Why would he want to combine counterparty and mastercoin? I think this will never happen. .

Mastercoin needs counterparty to be independent competition. If it wasn't for them, mastercoin would still be screwing around with GO.

True but now counterparty seems buggy

The Master Core beta launch is official:
http://blog.mastercoin.org/2014/08/02/beta-release-of-mastercore-0-0-6/

We’d like to announce a new (Beta) release of Mastercore, 0.0.6. This marks the first stable release to the public, and an open invitation to test our core featureset with a familiar API to anyone who has used Bitcoin or is familiar with the Core API.

With this release we offer the following features considered complete as well as documentation on the usage of those features for the Ubuntu Linux, bringing with this release the title of official reference implementation of the Master Protocol.

We welcome input from the community as you begin to work with the release.

Note: This release is Linux-only while the UI undergoes heavy-development. Currently the MetaDex is paired with the UI as the next milestone release for MasterCore. Please keep this in mind while beta-testing; if you need help setting up an Ubuntu instance, we recommend Digitalocean or AWS as great cloud hosting providers for Ubuntu Linux instances.

Please provide any feedback to the Mastercore development team as we work toward providing you with a more stable and useful tool for conducting business on the next-gen Bitcoin ecosystem.

Thank you for this message but 80+ % of the community is using Windows. So when do you expect the real release (Eg: Linux. OSX and Windows version)?
Also what is the update about " Two major exchanges accept MasterCoin August 1." I only see Poliniex added which is minor.

The next public builds will be for other OS’s and will include the UI.  This release is intended for integrators (exchanges, wallet providers) to become familar with the new RPC API, who are looking to get ahead of some of the new asset issuances coming that use the Master Protocol.

[hmmmstrange]

I think you missed a "0" in the build. Should be V0.0.0.6

When you have dead line for this next public build release?

Don’t be silly.  It’s coming soon.  We have an internal deadline but no public ones yet because I don’t want the devs’ wives to kill me.

I know your guys are hard working on this project, and the delay is normal . All we need is a regular report on the progress. If a project want to be successful , the interaction is more important than only dev.

I don’t disagree in the least - we’re trying to have at least weekly updates, but since everyone’s been so swamped the past two months, it went a little quiet.  I’ll see if we can increase our communication so that status is better relayed. 

Lots of amazing things are happening, all at the same time. We’re doing what we call our “Omni rehab” to make the wallet a little less, erm, ugly.  Having the Omni team rip out the mastercoin-tools underpinnings and replacing it with Master Core over the last month has been extremely instructive to know what integrators are going to need.

We’re in near-constant communication with new issuers who are looking to create new and exciting assets on the platform (some of which will be huge).  Each one has different needs, and we have to find the common-ground elements so that we can build the features into the platform in an elegant way.  Security and consistency are key, and we are proud to say that we have had no security problems in the past year with our platform.  We aim to keep it that way.  Build it right, right?

On that front, we have some exiting new features to add to the protocol, looking how we can use Peter Todd’s tree-chains, Paul Snow’s Notary Chains (wow) and even some experimental concepts are being discussed, such as pooling bitcoin transactions to reduce tx fees (for all Bitcoin users).  Using Bitcoin Core as the base of Master Core is going to allow us a broader range of options as we start to build in some of these ideas.

Also, we have a weekly all-hands meeting on Tuesdays, and a weekly dev sync on Thursdays, both in our Sococo space.  All are free and welcome to attend, and agenda notes are published for both. 

I can’t tell you how proud of this team I am - these are some of the most talented and dedicated developers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

More news is coming - Mastercoin’s 2nd year is going to be astounding.
