If people want to provide their addresses, I want to test transactions by sending them some TEST (lol). Until my bitcoins run out from all the fees ... lol.

BTC/XCP tips appreciated.

If you want to send some test coins, you are most welcomed   Cheesy

Did everyone see this announcement?

Are there questions about what was launched on yesterday?

Yep, will appreciate that in layman terms.

Yes. it means that Counterparty no longer needs to wait on Bitcoin 0.9. You can now do the following and mainnet with the XCP you received after you burned your BTC. It is possible to start using Counterparty protocol features as they were outlined at the launch on January 2nd.

The following features are implemented and (mostly) working:
  • Send: XCP or user-created assets using mainnet, right this very moment.
  • User-Created Assets: Issue user‐defined currencies/assets and pay dividends on them. You may now issue user-defined currencies/assets on Counterparty using mainnet.
  • Distributed Exchange: Trade XCP, BTC or any asset with any other. Although there's no GUI as yet, you may now trade assets, on mainnet, using Counterparty.
  • Betting, Financial Derivatives: Make bets, or construct contracts for difference, on the numerical value of a feed. You may now construct, make bets or do the same with contracts on the numerical value of a feed.

NOTE: There is no need to wait for Eligius or for Bitcoin v 0.9. if you wish to start building your applications and using them on mainnet, you can do so.


I can confirm that pretty much everything (sending, receiving, orders, issuance) is working. (I've been busy as you can see on blockscan.com).
