Look for an ICO that is not flying under the radar and has a proper legal opinion whether the token is a security under the SEC.

I'm not aware of a particular list. I'm an advisor on Gaze Coin and they have a legal opinion from a well known lawyer (Gary Ross) that GazeCoin is not a security.

If a token is not a security under the SEC, non-accredited US investors may purchase the token.

Hi All,

We are preparing to relaunch the XCP vending machine in Counterwallet! We are looking for testers who wish to try it out who are located outside the US.

Please send me a PM if you are interested!

Hi All,

This is Jeremy from vennd.io. We're proud to be working with Andreas on the Bitnplay crowdsale. I think Bitnplay has developed a very interesting model in which Crypto 2.0 tokens can be used. If anyone has some questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Regards,

Jeremy.

Technically, there is no reason. It's just impractical to keep it going forever.

Scotcoin moved from their own blockchain to Counterparty in a similar burn. They decided on a similar mechanism to remove inactive holders of their coin. Note: They didn't use Vennd.

edit: 'supporters' to 'holders'

Hi, this is Jeremy from Vennd. I'll stay out of the political talk and let you guys make the decisions that you need to make.

If there are any asset issuers out there who would like to move over to Counterparty, I'd be happy to assist (for free). There are a few ways in which a migration of assets from MSC could work. We could set up a vending machine which detects a burn of a MSC asset - a send to a provably unspendable address and then send the Counterparty equivalent to the burner. This is an opt-in burn. This burn period could be run for a while to allow people to withdraw funds from exchanges, etc.

A burn is sending the tokens to an unspendable address.

What happened for XCH is that VIA were sent to an exodus address, much like Mastercoin.

(For other's information, it wasn't advertised as a burn - "Converted viacoins will be used towards funding the ClearingHouse project." https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=734674.0)

You can find the volumes being processed by the vennding machine through blockchain and blockscan:

If there's demand, we'll definitely set it up.

The fees with Counterparty are the same very low fees as was indicated with ChanceCoin in the picture linked. This is a transaction sending XCP:

I think it's a good thing that XCP is on Bitcoin, even if the blockchain may be somewhat hostile. In ViaCoin, there is a conflict of responsibility because the developers both maintain the blockchain and the the meta layer. The conflict of responsibility arises in that the blockchain developers must maintain as a priority the security of the blockchain. So in this sense of BTC vs XCP, it's healthy.

IMO when assessing a metacoin, people should assess the liquidity of the underlying blockchain as an indicator of potential success of the metacoin. The inflows into the metacoin will come almost exclusively via the blockchain it rides on. There isn't much point having a technological marvel which is in an isolated island.

In terms of technical features, it's great that Peter Todd has the funding to work on tree chains. If it proves to work well in ViaCoin, there is no reason why it won't be integrated into Bitcoin core.

By default the Groovy runtime environment only adds the current working directory into the classpath. You can either change directory into vennd and re-execute the command or add the vennd directory into your classpath.

Hi parker928,

What OS and browser are you using? You are using the web site counterwallet.co right? On Windows with Chrome, I copy and paste my counterwallet password in one go from 1password.

Can you PM some details about the address you made the order from? I can have a look for you.

Yes, the prices are good and liquidity is improving on the DEX.

Yesterday XCP/XBTC had the largest 1 day volume since it started trading!

Hi JahPowerBit, in Counterwallet balances don't seem to get updated properly:

https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,188.msg3004/topicseen.html#msg3004

It's possible for you to download and run Counterwallet locally. I understand that the Counterparty team will be making it even more easy to automatically download and run Counterwallet locally. You can then use the sweep function locally to move your assets into your deterministic wallet.

Are you referring to the wallet at xcpfeeds.info? You can't copy and paste your 12 words as one string there.

Try directly going to https://cw03.counterwallet.co/ which has the new exchange interface (see above post).

Thanks Eric. FYI, Swarm is using a vending machine based upon the code from Vennd (www.vennd.io).

Regards,

Jeremy.

Thanks for the feedback Eric. For your information, you don't need to leave Counterwallet open to receive SWARMPRE.

Question for you and other people who are interested in investing in XCP. If the same process was available to you, would you take that option? The price would be advertised on a web page, like a BTC ticker. However, purchasing through such a means may incur slightly worse rate (say 5%) for the convenience and ease of transaction. There are other options to purchase XCP: DEx, centralised exchanges and between users but this would be just another option available to people.
