Re: [ANN][XCP] Counterparty Protocol, Client and Coin (built on Bitcoin)

Let's say I want to put out a broadcast with a fee of .01 (or 1% of the bets made on the broadcast) - it would look like this:

python3 counterpartyd.py --rpc-password=PASSWORD broadcast --from=ADDRESS --text=TEXT --fee-multiplier=.01

The text of a broadcast is a string. If you want to publish a value later on, then the syntax is:

python3 counterpartyd.py --rpc-password=PASSWORD broadcast --from=ADDRESS --text=TEXT --fee-multiplier=.01 --value=VALUE

Does that help?

I don't understand why there are two commands nor what they do.

For the first command, is the fee of 0.01 something I have to pay?

For the second command, do I need to pay for each update I make? If so, do I pay in BTC or XCP? Finally, where is this information stored? In the bitcoin block chain OR does counterpart have its own block chain?

Thanks.

Anyone?

The first command is what people are betting on, and the second command, which includes the 'value' function publishes the actual outcome of the bet, and hence determines which user won the bet.
