#gotinthegame

So I've recently begun studying counterparty, as the idea has me really interested.

It seems as if most of the activity on the XCP chain is surrounding a Pepe trading game. Like, most of the assets, most of the volume.

Being new to counterparty, is there anyone that can point me to non-Pepe assets?  Anything "actually working" on the counterparty system at this stage of the game?

Thanks for all newb info on this.

They actually printed up foam pitchforks.
I enjoy seeing BFL dead.

Hello,

1) Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. If someone could point me to where the main discussion is happening on this, I would be most appreciative. I searched the forum and found lots of Russian discussion.

2) Blocksize. In some ways this is really exciting - the world is using Bitcoin! Obviously, this thing now needs to scale - in some way. That could be off-chain clearing houses, an increase in block size, SegWit or Lightning network... so many ways it could happen, and a seemingly deadlocked debate on the path forward. I am seeking info to prep for a podcast on the subject. Yeah I know many people have done a podcast on the subject but I like to talk into my computer and I haven't done it in a while. So I have some questions. Any help is appreciated:

3) Where can I read information on the various popular Blocksize solutions? I am digging through bitcointalk looking but not finding much

4) I heard discussion on some of the solutions is banned here (is that true?). While that is a bit shocking, I would appreciate a PM if there is another place to view one or more of the banned solution discussions.

5) Can anyone explain to me why SegWit wasn't universally accepted as the solution when it was introduced?

6) If anyone can explain why the various different parties are fighting so vigorously, I would love that. I can't seem to find the core reasons why community is at each others' throats.

Thanks for all helps.

Hello SwC faithful:

I'm sure you have seen the news today.  (yup, after a quick scroll up, you have seen the news)

First off, SwC will continue as is.

I am going to step back for an undetermined amount of time and deal with this legal matter.  The personal safety of myself and my family is first and foremost to me.  This is a very serious matter.  I'll update you when I can.

you will be left in good hands with ST7.  I have all trust in them.  

Technologically I expect the project to continue forward on the path described.  As always, all funds secure.

I have retained top legal representation in Nevada.  This is going to deplete my funds rather quickly, and they only take fiat so I'm asking for fiat donations here:

and bitcoin donations in the first comment of this Reddit are also appreciated at this extremely tough time:

Obviously having a shitty day.

Thanks to all for your support.  BTC donations for legal fund in the comments on here:

needs to be said again.

FYI to everyone in this thread, I was so happy to "win" my bitcointalk ad, I didn't check the username close enough before getting scammed for 3.6 btc:





Theymos, can we get a ban on this guy?  Theymfos ?  To protect others in the future?

100% on me for this one, I'm an idiot, should have read closer, but it's a creative vector IMO should be closed.  Directly taxing those that are buying ads here...
