trying to copy the success of etherum by pigeon holing users with specific publishing methodologies that don't even take into consideration the optimal use of our own platform itself is just playing catch-up

Way to contribute rhetoric

Ordinals also follow terms, even though they side note it as an inscription

It's a personal choice if one want to show ones own ignorance by calling everything an nft. I've been vocal for years about using the right terminology and not conforming to some kind of aspiration to being on the popular bandwagon

Yo dawg, I heard you like to mint while you're minting mint

1 persons choice of terms is completely fine. Industry, market, the space defines adoption

If there's a better choice of terminology it would be adopted

Outside of your own personal website and adoption, could you show me any technical documents in the counterparty ecosystem outlining the process, "mint" aside from Fair minters. This convolution resulting im confusion of the original question/request

It's how stamps trys to define creation of an asset as stamping. But the general users/space still calls it minting a stamp.

Comes to translation to other languages also I believe, choice of words that may be translated with the least deviation

Something other dev discussions have discussed when designing other protocols such as ordinals/runes

Okay whatever. I don't know if you've actually talked to people in real life about our industry. Even people who are very computer/tech literate they get immediately turned off when they hear the first two letters of nft and the first two syllables of cryptoart.

So no, I have a very strong opinion that we should not double dip into the inane rhetoric of mislabeled lexicon which is used by the ignorant masses who don't actually want to understand how blockchain technology works.

Unfortunately it seems like a vast majority of people involved in this industry are only worried about the end results in personal USD profit and not exploring the new functionality afforded our society

No one mentioned USD or profits. There was a how-to question relating to the protocol level execution, and mention of terminology relating to industry/adoption - maybe not demand a user/dev to use a certain word of choice when trying to onboard new users to experiment and build in this space

minting, stamping, Inscriptions are terms used in creation of an asset/art/token on protocol level - can't argue with the users and the space. Yes it a creation of an asset on protocol level this i agree. But UI may be translated

can't forgot the term Deploy also

What other utility do you insist is the purpose of stamps? I don't see people doing much else besides conjecturing on value or selling

Lip service is not the same as pointing to a technical document using the word

I asked for clarification and to not to overuse the nonsense/catchall word "mint"

Since you seem to be an advocate for stamps, how does the rigid conformity of the standard lead to experimenting with the fully functional token ecosystem that we are all using?

Rumor is Saylor dropped this

I thought what besides Bitcoin is a digital commodity on Bitcoin

XCP may be the only other one

what about exploring more on how to get DNS record stored with a token. an immutable icann @krostue @teysol

also I believe we need to hit bitcoin'ers hard with this fact of xcp being thermodynamically sound. xcp is the only layer 2 that has an immaculate conception

Utility? Trade, giveaway, burn, experiment. I don't think it's your business what users do with their assets, If they are sold or not.

my guess is we are just waiting for a major player to jump in like Saylor so basically idling until we get the green light

Universal language. It's ok you don't understand this if you don't work with international teams.

In my messages I did not advocate for stamps. I clearly stated stamps as a case study where it tried to deviate from the Crypto Space/industry term of inscription to its own term of "stamping" and users still returned to the term "minting/inscribing a stamp."

I know you not a fan of stamps. But src101 has an engineer team building out DNS and supporting active developments

Haha it does drive me crazy that people call stamping inscribing so I see the annoyance calling issuances minting or otherwise.

But we've tried and continue to use the term stamping, the annoyance is personal, not a deal breaker in shunning out users/devs who use a term you may disagree with. It's the ability in being universal and being able to adapt, is key

Curious to know if they are using "CIP25" or going a completely different route

These are all provided at the protocol level and not unique of stamps.

stamps are a distraction at best no real utility there

UNIVERSE Wallet and Gate Web3 wallet both support src101 Bitnames, transferring stamps and src20s, sending Bitcoin via BNS.

No real utility as it gets adopted and supported...

Built on src20 theory. Haven't read into CiP25 so no idea if theory cross over.

But src101 works.

@Jake_Blockchain Any updates on big players entering xcp?

Not yet that ive seen

you?

no

You guys watching the dispensers?

In December and Jan I saw 2 top holders who added more

But it has been quiet lately

It would *really* help for a major Bitcoin player to take notice of Counterparty and get involved.

To Counterparty experts and archeologists: Does anyone remember the TRIGGERS token? What was it about? I can see there was strong trading volume a few years ago: 23,806 XCP

Admins bullying users over word choice is a low vibe

Thanks for taking the time to show actual concern by addressing the valid idea of "brainstorming marketing of the protocol" with your unbelievable insight and top quality irony

Or maybe you're resorting to personal attack because you have nothing better to do with your time or way to contribute to the conversation at large about the lack of utility in stamps as compared to creating fungible cryptoart without rigid structures.

Unless you're on team "goalpost moving," in which case I'm not really entertaining the idea of feeding you with replies

I think people got confused mainly because I introduced a new concept they were not familiar with. I could have used stamping instead of minting and probably should have used it, but I felt it will add another level of confusion.

Olga Stamp Minter by JPJA

Stampverse - Mint Stamp

Stamped.ninja - Mint Stamp

As far as I can remember Stampchain called its tool Minter not long ago, I see you’ve changed it for Stamping

If you don't mind, since you are also interweaving the topic of fairmints, perhaps you could specify using counterparty terminology. Being in the counterparty room and all. I know people besides me would like to understand what you're saying, asking or suggesting

Who is creating the actual token, the person fulfilling the Fairmint action or the publisher and issuer of the original token? Is it a one of one?

Whether you like it or not, we mint our stamps utilising Counterparty and Bitcoin.

more research coming soon

You attacked my pleb question in the NFT room so I left and came in here to read you losing it on someone else. I just think it's a bad look. I don't do marketing or care much about stamps or any other buzz words.
"Low vibe" is hardly a personal attack. More of an observation. Your behavior is concerning only in that you are admin and representing all of us. I would care zero percent otherwise. Also sarcasm is feminine

Ok. Thanks for your professionalism going forward. Targeting me with names because you are purposefully ignorant is top tier clown drama. I'm glad you're are done now

back to MCGA (making counterparty great again)

how to get DNS record stored with a token?

Sorry. Genuinely not trying to be a dick. I was trying to follow up with this idea. Could we please rehash it?

Using Fairmint, someone acquires your locked stamp, you previously created in one tx?

Or in one tx you create the ability for someone else to actually create the Anumber asset, desc locked, with one tx?

There are many ways to do it. The information can simply be stored as a running object in the description with a couple of special ops to reset the data. This can be done (pretty simply) as a metaprotocol.

One big issue is that the named asset space is anemic. 4-12 uppercase characters is nowhere near enough to provide a useable DNS namespace. Fortunately, there are 193x more counterparty assets outside the named space, so this type of service could easily be done using numeric assets or a subasset namespace.

Ideally the solution would use existing standards like punycode or ensip-15

I fren and I made a functional MVP for this using numeric assets and ensip-15 and a hash based registration validation method, but sidelined it for the time being due to other priorities.

I dont think you would appreciate it. It uses numeric assets so it’s obviously spam.

i find that so funny my wife has worked at mcga for years lol
manitoba canola growers assoiation lol but yes
mcga is a great thing here too haha
LFGMCGA

A lot fell under the issuance tab. So creators issue assets and tokens. However, today those assets can be opened up to anyone minting tokens.

It’s important to make the distinction between issuing and minting

Every asset is an NFT

Bitcoin is an NFT. It is not socially or technically fungible.
Counterparty Tokens can be more fungible
IMHO it is 100% bandwagon to use the term that has become a cliché

A cliché, pronounced klih-SHAY, is a phrase that's chronically overused to the point of being meaningless.

Every NFT is a Pepe

Orbital Market Daily Report - February 24, 2025

🚀 Market Overview
Yesterday, the Counterparty NFT and token market saw notable activity in the DEX, dispensers, and FairMint systems. Let's dive into the specific trading metrics and trends observed:

📈 Top Collections by Trade Volume (DEX Orders)
- Rare Pepe – 23 trades
- Spells of Genesis – 11 trades
- Bitcorn Cards – 9 trades
- Kaleidoscope – 9 trades
- The Wojak Way – 3 trades

💰 Dispenser Activity - BTC Spent by Token
- FAKEORIGINAL (Fake Commons) – 0.00514094 BTC
- STACKEMHIGH (Other) – 0.00075 BTC
- XCP (currencies) – 0.00018 BTC

🖼 FairMint Activity - New NFTs Minted
No mints were recorded yesterday, indicating a slower FairMint activity day.

🔥 Market Insights & Signals
- Rare Pepe continues to hold a strong lead in trade volume, reinforcing its popularity among Counterparty NFTs.
- Spells of Genesis maintained a steady 11 trades, suggesting consistent interest from collectors.
- The dispenser activity indicates increased interest in the Fake Commons with FAKEORIGINAL leading in BTC spent.
- FairMinting showed no activity, which might be an anomaly or a sign that traders are consolidating existing assets rather than creating new ones.

🔍 Unusual Events & Potential Signals:
- The absence of FairMint activity could signal a momentary decline in minting hype or distractions to existing collections.
- The noticeable trading volume for Rare Pepe highlights its ongoing relevance and demand within the market.

🤔 Daily Reflection
Yesterday's data suggests a stable demand for well-established collections like Rare Pepe and Spells of Genesis. The singular FAKEORIGINAL dispenser activity might be an outlier worth monitoring. Traders seem engaged with existing tokens, potentially conserving resources in anticipation of better market conditions or upcoming developments.

💡 What to Watch:
- Will Rare Pepe continue its dominance, or face competition from emerging collections?
- How will FairMint activity evolve this week? Will we see a resurgence in mints?
- The small volume of BTC spent on dispensers could suggest a strategy shift or awaiting major market movements.

Your opinion matters!

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to use the public Coutnerparty api. It seems that perhaps shared hosting is blocked? I am able to get results in my terminal on my computer, but unable to get anything to populate on my webpage.

as you can see
https://pepedust.com/deets/fetch_orders.php?asset=PEONTRUST

gives the following error
cURL Error: Failed to connect to api.counterparty.io port 4000: Connection refused

could really use some help on this.

https://api.counterparty.io:4000/v2/

Seems to be working fine from my phone

like I said, I can get the results in my terminal on my computer, but not the server

Ah didn’t see that

Have you tried pasting your php code into chatgpt?

lol. yeah. thats why I need a human to help. dunno if I'm doing something wrong, or if the XP public server settings are stringent

My go to for checking if it’s my code or the server is to use postman

open up developer tools and compare the request your website is issuing to the one issued by the link Joe shared

yeah there's no like weird IP filter on the server

ok. thanks. I'm sure it is on my end now. I was trying to use php to save and manipulate the data on the server end, but now I'm going to try to just the regular route of using js.
many thanks everyone!

tried this endpoint, works fine here

hope it helps

otherwise try to exclude your hosting by running your script in an online tool, for example https://onlinephp.io/

🙇

that way you can ensure your script is working

to be sure "it's on your end" 🙂

gl ✌️

still getting
"cURL Error: Failed to connect to api.counterparty.io port 4000: Connection refused"

so this must be a server setting on my end somewhere?

yeah could be numerous of things.. maybe a firewall?

try out directing it to another public API - that would show it is a setting on your server

he could try https://tokenscan.io/api/orders/PEONTRUST

on my hosting I have several sites. TheWojakWay connects to tokenscan with no problem

maybe the custom port (4000) is a problem?

but now it's just guessing.. without knowing your configuration 🙂

I attempted to take off the port, and then the page times out. lol
I'll have to take another hard/systematic look at this once I can get back to work on the computer.

with mine endpoint i sent you works?

Protocol change proposal to support P2WSH and P2TR addresses: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-core/issues/3053

Benefits? Please ELI5 if possible 🙏

There are lots of different kinds of Bitcoin addresses, and because of a long-standing bug in the protocol, Counterparty doesn't support some of the most common ones. We're going to fix it. 🤷‍♀️

Now someone can build a pepe insurance company using threshold signatures like anchorwatch

Protocol change proposal for Taproot envelope data storage (much cheaper transactions, and be able to store much more data) https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-core/issues/3054

just reading through it, looks great! i love that you incorporated creating the commit tx from any address type, i never understood why everyone in ordinals world insisted that p2tr be used for all wallets since thats only necessary to go from commit to reveal

That's great 🔥

What is the status of P2SH?

see the previous linked ticket, it is supported

https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-core/issues/3053

Thanks. I searched before asking and it seems like at one point P2SH was disabled at the API and required a code commit reversion. Do you know if this is still the case or is the API parsing as expected if running a node with default settings?

So there are two different things:

(1) Support for P2SH addresess—this isn't going anywhere ofc.

(2) Storing data in P2SH outputs—this was disabled at the API level in October because it has a buggy implementation and it's superseded by the upcoming Taproot envelope support so once we confirm that the latter is always strictly cheaper we'll disable it at the protoco level too: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-core/issues/2632

Thanks for the reply

I think this project is a real beaut!

Beauty bud

op_return stil will be parsed riight?

nice, where does this document come from?

@vectorconfetti we wrote it

larger Counterparty transactions are going to get significantly cheaper 🎉

Do you know of a good Counterparty postman collection for the masses?

We have a fake Adam providing tech support in here that needs to be banned immediately.

Very sophisticated.

Back to my original question I deleted

When the api returns get and give quantities for orders at a specific address

Why does it give sats for divisible assets and integers for non divisible assets

Is it on the developer to sort this or am I doing something wrong

The give quantity is an integer but the get quantity is in sats

Get and give either way based upon if the asset is divisible or not.

for any call, the quantity is in sats for divisible assets. if you include the verbose=true flag in your call, you should also receive a quantity_normalized field that converts your sats to int

Ok thanks 🙏

Much better than this response lol

For reference, I posted this question earlier and this fake Adam popped up in my DM saying this

I’m dumb enough to think wtf sounds complicated lol

oof lol

no with the verbose=true, you should get something like this (a testnet4 example)
