Just checked back in with things to see some renewed attention on CounterParty recently. Nice to see

Also a very informative read, thanks for the links and kudos to Ruben.. the mans a machine.

Good job on the seed round. I notice the article mentions Eth and Rootstock EVM compatibility. How about possibility to run on CounterParty, as the VM is in the process of being ported to mainnet?


It's not referring literally to the mythical animal... "Unicorn is a term in the investment industry, and in particular the venture capital industry, which denotes a start-up company whose valuation has exceeded (the somewhat arbitrary) $1b dollars."
 

You can simply send the XCP to the same address you sent the BTC to. The decentralized exchange platform can determine the balances of BTC, XCP and any assets owned on each address and allow you to transfer those in and out.

Thanks, a very clear read showing the project is moving forward in a positive direction. It's great to see some renewed community framework being established! Good work

For anyone who hasn't taken a look I'd also recommend reading https://www.reddit.com/r/counterparty_xcp/comments/4gpdsx/we_are_the_counterparty_foundation_community/
Some nice commentary there from guys building innovative projects on the counterparty system.

We gonna share the blockchain revenue as well.[/quote]






Sounds extremely promising and seems like a net positive step for all parties involved. Voting yes.

If you want to collaborate on marketing efforts as a community join the marketing channel on the CounterParty slack.

Not sure about Trezor, but I believe Ledger wallet dev was in the CounterParty slack a while ago discussing integration.
https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-wallet-api/issues/3
P2SH is being constantly worked on https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-lib/pull/818

I don't know if there is a good chance for BFX but I have wrote to btc38 and Yuanbaohui using the address contact@mail.btc38.com and contact@yuanbao.com respectively. The more users that request the addition of XCP to the trade platform; the better prospects for them adding it. The extra liquidity will aid accurate price discovery.

Added to sockpuppet list.

Some say his skin has the texture of a dolphin's, and that wherever you are in the world, if you tune your radio to 88.4, you can actually hear his thoughts...

Some say he's wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat

All we know is he was formerly Anonymint, and once crafted a WYSIWYG web page editor that attained roughly 1+ million downloads .

For real though, I afaik he's already making a (non tribute!) coin and has put together some very technical and well articulated dialog on the matter. I don't think even Martin Armstrong can predict the surprises TPTB has in store for us here at BTT. I am certainly keeping my eyes peeled

Ripples never appeared on the Hyperledger TSC. No contributions on mailing lists, meetings and so forth. ergo they won't really play a part. They are free to submit proposal though (like intel will shortly) but the project looks to be set in it's own direction

Bitcoin holders should be keeping an eye out on developments at camp Hyperledger instead of ranting about ETH, IMO. Take a peek at the latest whitepaper.

Agree I think both Rootstock and XCP have their own key advantages and disadvantages. At the moment XCP is further along than rootstock as the sidechain concept hasn't been fully fleshed out yet, much less production ready. A few major problem with Rootstock is that miners can effectively attack the chain for free, that 2 way decentralized pegs don't exist in any form of manturity at this time, and perhaps the biggest that rootstock corporation takes 20% of every contract execution cost and pockets it, despite calling it a 1:1 bitcoin peg. (as opposed to debiting the gas costs in xcp and removing it from supply, which benefits each and every holder of XCP rather than a centralized entity.)


I think XCP has long declined in value as the news of smart contracts have gone full circle from being priced in and hyped up then priced back out as expectations have been invalidated with a slow release. Things have gone downhill then chugged along sideways for a long tine. The brief rise in price was only punctured by tempered moods as it was revealed the news was leaked a prematurely. Otherwise it would of stayed up there.

See the following quote by Vitalik





 I expect as the code actually hits mainnet and we begin to see ported smart contracts on the bitcoin blockchain, when XCP starts becoming debited for as along with token issuance we'll start to benefit from the emerging DaPP ecosystem. With a tiny market cap and scarce total supply I think it's a good recipe for some positive price action and there was already a small taste of things to come.  CounterParty was the original project to implement ethereum VM and perhaps the most well known and it's not going anywhere.

Some relevant news from CounterParty open source project and Symbiont (commercial offering ran by CounterParty devs and including CounterParty in it's stack)

nobody made a thread so I took the initiative to try and give it a shot.

It would be great if anyone wants to contribute anything. Talk about the reasons you invested, how counterparty fits into current crypto landscape, it's strenghts, it's weakness.. thoughts on short/medium/long term future price action or anything! the main thing is the thread is more visible.

The thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1396194.0

IMO it's only recently we are starting to see a little bit of originality in the altcoin space.
The sad thing is, as you pointed out  many old-timers are too burnt out with what has been a  torrential downpour of copy paste shitcoins (basically litecoin forks) to spend any time analysing recent projects
I think it's a mistake because I believe the market is slowly finding it's legs in a maturation phase and recently few projects are emerging which actually cater to a genuine niche and it's unwise to totally ignore developments there, especially when real use cases are demonstrated and even external entities can appreciate the potential.

No worries. I do agree with the scalablity issues so only consider it's usefulness for a fairly narrow subset of applications.
If you do get the time to research it I'd love to take a read through.


I remember an old quote of AnonyMints: "enable the free market to experiment and innovate. Don't try to proclaim you know the perfect design for all" . I think his matter-of-fact frankness and thirst for engineering what he feels is a fix to as yet unsolvable problems gets mistaken for him arrogantly forgetting the latter portion of that quote whenever he criticizes existing approaches.Of course it is easier to identifiy flaws than it is to propose a solution avoiding them, or indeed presenting another set of flaws. Harder so to successfully implement said solution so he has to get some props for open his project up for scrutiny.
