Too bad then that making the protocol robust and secure is a second priority for the core devs.

Are you serious Huh

??

The reported issue has been fixed within HOURS, with tons of extra commits coming in on a daily basis.

Once again, this is WEEKS old code, what did you expect ? You didn't read the disclaimer ? Would you have shared the profits from your cheap coins ? No. So be even happy some people are considering a way to make it up to everyone. Greedy people shouldn't play with daddy's toys...

And please give me a break with all the community messages BS. NO ONE knows about XCP, again, we are weeks old. The only message there, is that a critical flaw for a weeks old code has been fixed within hours. If some people were stupid enough to invest that much and believe that Xmas was also happening in February, I am not even sorry for them. I can just say thank you for being a guinea pig. What is a real poison for the community, is your lack of recognition of the amazing devs that we have. You played, you lost. Man up and let's all move on. Thanks.

Calling him/her a "Greedy...guinea pig". Are you for real? He/she bought the coins on the open market at what was the current market price.

Some people on this thread have no clue how this is being perceived by others in the crypto community who do not already have a vested interest in XCP, or how it will be perceived by people in the real world for that matter.

Yes. I am for real, and I am not in to make a quick buck after a few weeks. People should know better. Who cares to be at such an early stage on a centralized exchange, and then on coinmarketcap whatever ? You wanted it. Then, there you go, you have it. Assume your actions, or don't come here and cry like a french girl. I lost money with the facebook IPO, I will call Wall Street ! Yeah, sure... Again, don't play with daddy's toys if you don't know what you are doing. So yes, greedy guinea pigs.

PS : My XCP will stay on their birth addresses for at least a few months, until everything is under control and properly advertised.

Such machismo...I don't know what it is with you and French girls.

All your comments seem to indicate that you categorize XCP simply as speculative currency i.e. simply an investment vehicle, rather than a functioning transactional currency.

The buyers have lost their BTC, because Counterparty made a centralized decision to roll back the ledger, therefore asymmetrically alter the transactions which previously had occurred. This was done with full knowledge that the people who invested in XCP for the long or the short term would lose their BTC.

This isn't like all other cryptos, as was suggested before. BTC was a response to such centralized decisions, as was laid out in SN's white paper, and was described as being the primary motivation to a decentralized currency. Therefore, this could not have happened with BTC. BTC 2.0 this ain't, it doesn't share the same ethical/philosophical underpinning. I invested in Counterparty because it presented itself as committed to decentralization, but it seems to implement a protocol which allows trades to be reversed at the dev's discretion. Right now it feels, perhaps, more analogous to a Paypal charge-back.
