  • @603507099 #29633 09:14 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Hey can someone explain why it cost 750 FLDC to withdraw fldc from polo? I understand that counterparty transactions need to pay a btc fee but if fees are this high then how will it be feasible to transact or trade with counterparty assets?
  • That's about a $2.25 fee to withdraw from the exchange. You can trade rare pepes for about $.04 right now. Neither seem unreasonable.
  • @heunland #29635 09:30 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    I suggest you ask Polo support if you do not think their fees are reasonable. Also other exchanges charge similar fees for withdrawing other counterparty assets. Please note that you could post a sell order on openbazaar now at zero fee, pay nothing for the trade and nothing for withdrawal (other than the regular TX fees for any token movements you make).
  • @heunland #29636 09:33 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Keep in mind that centralized exchanges will charge fees that are high enough to cover themselves in case of sudden price fluctuations, and as a convenience to users, they don't force you to actually deposit btc to pay the fee for sending the TX, but let you pay in whatever token you want to withdraw. They need to then sell those tokens for BTC to cover the miner fees which also may end up losing them some money when the exchange rates change abruptly.
  • @603507099 #29637 09:35 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Ok thanks. Yes I’ve asked polo - no response.

    I think it’s not reasonable as percentage of value moved. It’s more the issue counterparty assets will face if the asset value is priced significantly lower than btc. Is there a solution for this going forward?
  • @heunland #29638 09:36 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Usually people just don't withdraw small amounts of tokens but wait till they have enough to make it worthwhile
  • @heunland #29639 09:37 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    As the fee is independent of the amount of tokens you withdraw
  • @heunland #29640 09:38 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    solution would be not to use centralized exchanges.
  • @pepe_van_winkle #29641 09:38 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    It's pretty expensive to withdraw PEPECASH and XCP from TUX, so I do it as seldom as possible.
  • @heunland #29642 09:38 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    exactly my point
  • @603507099 #29643 09:39 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Ah ok cool
  • @603507099 #29644 09:40 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    The fee however is an issue since it’s independent of the tokens moved for the reason stated above
  • @603507099 #29645 09:41 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    That implies that even if a dex is used the btcp fee could end up being a large portion of the tokens moved
  • @heunland #29646 09:42 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    if you trade on the DEX you can set your own fee.
  • @heunland #29647 09:42 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    you can post your TX with 1 sat/byte fee, and send it when there are not a lot of other TXs in the mempool for fast confirmation
  • @603507099 #29648 09:43 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    How does that work? Doesn’t the network have to pay btc to miners?
  • @heunland #29649 09:43 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    yes and you are the one who decides how much BTC to send
  • @603507099 #29650 09:45 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Right but is that feasible? Imagine trading counterparty assets on a liquid dex. Let’s say the assets represent gold or another asset. Can one wait to trade if prices are fluid?
  • The prices are set in stone for the duration the orders up, so as long as your order matches.
  • @heunland #29652 09:46 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Works for those of us who have bought and sold assets on the DEX till now.
  • @603507099 #29653 09:48 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    I guess if it isn’t a liquid market sure
  • @603507099 #29654 09:48 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    But liquidity is what one wants to create
  • @603507099 #29655 09:49 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    There must be a way to lock in prices and trade but settlement to occur when fees are low
  • @heunland #29656 09:49 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    I suggest you have a look at rarepepewallet.com and see how easy it can be to make trades of Rare Pepes on the DEX with a user friendly UI.
  • @603507099 #29657 09:49 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Ok I’ll check it out
  • If you're filling an order settlement is then and there, you judge yourself the fees.
  • @heunland #29659 09:50 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    or check out freewallet.io (ok you would need to make a donation to get access to the DEX functionality) for trading the other counterparty assets
  • @603507099 #29660 09:52 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Why can’t one trade rate Pepe’s with btc?
  • @603507099 #29661 09:53 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Is it possible but not done or not possible
  • @heunland #29662 09:55 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    you could use a swapbot to do that
  • Are you guys using tokenmarkets for FLDC in some capacity?
  • @heunland #29664 09:56 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    yes
  • @heunland #29665 09:57 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    I suggest you watch our Public Meeting, Adam Levine discussed in detail about the features that Tokenly has implemented for us, and also we have Foldingcoin swag for sale on the tokenmarket
  • @heunland #29666 09:58 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    we now also have a new and improved version of merged folding and asset distribution features
  • @heunland #29667 10:00 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    actually we are implementing a way to distribute tokens to users that allows the users to pay in the token being withdrawn for the miners fees, and withdraw when they want rather than waiting for monthly distributions. this was all discussed at todays meeting which you can watch here https://foldingcoin.net/index.php/news/335-news-public-meeting-september-2018

  • Very interesting, tokenmarkets looked intriguing and I certainly like the sound of those changes. You've been doing solid work in the background for some time, and all for a good cause to boot. Gonna give it a watch through in a minute.
  • @heunland #29672 10:03 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    This is actually some stuff that solves a problem that afaik noone on ethereum has been able to solve so far
  • @heunland #29673 10:07 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    as in, when you want to distribute a token to many users, there are now problems with blockchain saturation on ethereum (similar to what we had a year ago on bitcoin) and distributions get stuck, you have to send with exaggerated fees and TXs get dropped completely at times. Ethereum fees need to be paid for gas no matter what ERC20 token you are distributing. With this new method we are about to implement, we can now allow the users to withdraw themselves when they have accumulated enough coins to make it worthwhile, and pay the fee in foldingcoin rather than BTC. This also ends the problem of people all turning around and immediately dumping their coins on exchanges right after the monthly distribution, hurting the price
  • Last I checked ETH they were trying (and struggling) to cleanly implement a 'pay in any token'
  • Even aside from anything more than a cursory technical understanding of that development (yet) the convenience/slipstreaming of that from and end user experience POV sounds awesome.

    That's the kind if innovation that needs to be communicated to those devs &, architects building up token ecosystems. Hope it gets a thorough mentiom in the upcoming newsletter
  • @heunland #29676 10:09 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    but have they done so already on Eth? - No
  • Nope I don't believe they have. +1 to counterparty and +1 to you guys. 👍😌
  • @heunland #29678 10:11 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Tokenly did an excellent job working with us to bring this to fruition
  • @heunland #29679 10:12 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Also the merged folding features are available right now already for any counterparty project to try out, including distributing indivisible assets to a set number of random folders, or to the top folders only etc.
  • I do hope this innovation gets condensed down into A) Eli5 version for users (who'll notice regardless) and for developers. Or in general gets broadcast. Definitely warrants more than a casual mention
  • @heunland #29681 10:14 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    divisible assets can be also easily distributed to all folders, or to those that have folded above a certain threshold of FAH points. We will be happy to explain in more detail to any interested parties
  • @heunland #29682 10:15 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    We are working on making tutorials for all these new features
  • The parties just need to hear about it that's all, the interested will follow. Discoverability hasn't traditionally been crazy high (need dat PR campaign $$s) but it's not gone unnoticed. I'm confident it'll all pile up gradually . Keep up the good work 👍😀
  • I shall keep an eye out.
  • @heunland #29685 10:30 PM, 01 Sep 2018
    Here is the new dedicated website https://mergedfolding.net/ Of course, we are going to contact the reps of the projects that have previously expressed interest in our merged folding platform shortly with more details. If anyone who has not previously contacted us is interested, you can send us email to rross@foldingcoin.net

    Maybe the team could contact Gate exchange. Since BIter which is the previous name of Gate exchange had xcp before changing the name. And it says no charge for listing
  • 05 September 2018 (16 messages)
  • I'd been in close touch with the founder previously, he was amenable to counterparty and supported what it was doing but the technicalities of running on the nonstandard varations XCP requires were not ideal. An upcoming update to support 0.16 would be v helpful to them.
  • @529335952 #29734 04:55 AM, 05 Sep 2018
    In other news there's this exchange that's added XCP trading
  • @529335952 #29735 04:55 AM, 05 Sep 2018
    Hello everyone! XCP is now traded on Coinsoda Exchange with 0% trading fees, forever. Coinsoda is a brand new exchange and we have recently launched our fully functional beta exchange with over 30+ pre-listed currencies. XCP has been listed upon review & we would like to welcome the community for trading! Enjoy.
  • @529335952 #29736 04:57 AM, 05 Sep 2018
    I would not endorse the above thus far and encourage due diligence- not sending any large balance etc; as this is a brand new exchange with slim to no feedback so far. Just sharing that post for visibility
  • @nola1978 ↶ Reply to #29735 #29737 04:59 AM, 05 Sep 2018
    Do you also trade xcp tokens ?
  • I’ve seen cam soda ads, they seem legit.
  • I trade tokens on the dex, for centralized exchanges I'm primarily concerned with with additional liquidity sources and outlets being made available for new users to be able to discover, acquire XCP and ultimately interact with the ecosystem. An ecosystem that's broader that the market has given it credit. Many would love to play with blockchain collectibles as just one example but have never even heard of counterparty, and possibly won't for some time. For some a listing on an exchange (again many users do not visit some of the historical US exchanges any longer) may be their first discovery of counterparty and an introduction to explore further.

    If XCP was available on one less exchange, or zero exchanges discoverability too would be close to zero for new users. Sourcing XCP to be able to create assets or develop would become problematic. For this reason I think increasing existing visibility within the constraints we can collectively should be a small, but larger part of the focus of the community right now.
  • @heunland #29740 05:07 AM, 05 Sep 2018
    I just made an account on coinsoda to check out what coins are listed. Looks like so far only XCP is listed as far as counterparty tokens go. There is a page on their website to request coin listings, so should be pretty easy for projects that run on XCP to ask to get listed, such as Pepecash, Foldingcoin, Bitcrystals etc
  • @heunland #29741 05:08 AM, 05 Sep 2018
  • @heunland #29742 05:09 AM, 05 Sep 2018
    they got a chatbox too so Grounbeeftaxi should be happy
  • It's nice to see the addition there, jurys out on their platform for now. I'm in the progress of testing it out with a small amount. They've said API feeds are underway in the next day or two.
  • @heunland #29744 05:20 AM, 05 Sep 2018
    yes I can see they still could make a lot of improvements, however many counterparty based projects have had troubles to get their token listed on any exchange, and Age of Rust even is in the process of leaving counterparty altogether for that reason now. In order to be on coinmarketcap, you need to be listed on an exchange they support, otherwise you got basically no visibility. I am happy to see a new exchange venture into the counterparty space and hope others are too.

    Guys rustbits will be exchanged for their new token on ethereum whenever they switch over and then you can sell them on some eth exchange that will probably list it if you want to get rid of the rustbits. The game itself does look it has potential though them switching to eth is a disappointment at least the tokens are not completely worthless imho
  • @heunland #29838 09:45 AM, 11 Sep 2018

  • 100% It has massive potential. While it is a tough move for Counterparty believers Rustbits will remain an in game currency and also paired ETH for other uses. Or so I understand. As for the DEX I've placed a 1XCP order for BTC I saw yesterday so I could get some Rustbits and the BTC/XCP still has not gone through.

  • Just charge more xcp to register premium asset names.
  • I agree. I see increasing concern about the rampant oversaturation of ETH tokens (1000+ created in the last years- many dubious cash grabs) scaling issues there, smart contract hacks -- coupled with BTC's increasing dominance recently (30% rise in 4 months and a 1 year ATH) Plus increased XCP exposure probable in the coming months.

    all the while XCP which launched before ethereum and arguably had a huge hand in kickstarting this 'blockchain 2.0 movement' has just been chugging along in the background.. currently enjoying a smaller mkt cap than the BTC burnt to bring it into existence!! it just seems the potential here is so great if a group of people collectively can work together on bringing it back to relevance and showcasing its utility, the benefits it affords.

    Eterbase.com Listing

    Representatives from Eterbase.com recently reached out via email and indicated that they had an interest in Counterparty and would like for me to submit Counterparty for inclusion in their upcoming digital asset exchange. After filling out the project application and having a brief phone conversation, it seems they are interested in supporting Counterparty and could offer BTC / ETH / EUR and possibly USD markets for Counterparty. They are requesting a listing fee of $10,000 to cover their devel...

  • Interesting, I see they're a new entrant. Incorporated in a favorable jurisdiction and aiming for fiat integration (IBAN/euro). Could possibly become a big player.
  • @jdogresorg #29921 08:34 PM, 13 Sep 2018
    Yeah, they laid out some of their plans and they definitely sound like they are going the 100% legal route.
  • @jdogresorg #29922 08:35 PM, 13 Sep 2018
    They actually listed 2 options for getting CP listed... 1.) a token swap XCP for XBASE (100-200 ETH worth requested).... or 2.) a listing fee of $10,000 (they asked for ETH, but I got USD amount value)
  • @jdogresorg #29923 08:36 PM, 13 Sep 2018
    Personally I am against paying for a listing on any exchange.... but, others in the community feel differently... so worth mentioning in case anyone like MG or the Bitcorn foundation wanted to get behind it.
  • Nice work
  • Yes... I snagged it... mainly just to hold it for the XBASE guys if they want it... no plans to use it.

  • @529335952 #29961 03:43 AM, 15 Sep 2018
    Offtopic question.. but aside from ideological oppositions: Would it be technically feasible to to implement some kind of inflation (supply increase) into the counterparty protocol, ostensibly for the purpose for funding development? Assuming for example: A) either all future 'mined' XCP would flow into a ringfenced account and be disbursed either directly to a 'development foundation' or B) backers would donate BTC, ETH in exchange for developXCP token or similar that is proportionally awarded XCP by the protocol at a later date
  • could be possible.... it is also possible to create another avenues of income tho
  • Hmm. I was just wondering because it seems the altruistic donation based model has certain shortcomings and counterParty is one of the few totally deflationary projects, I feel a small, transparent, inflation that tapers down would long-run be a net win for all.

    Major cryptocurrency supply inflation: Bitcoin: 3.8% XRP: 2.5% Bitcoin cash: 3.7% Monero: 6.3% Dash: 6.3% Zcash: 56%

    What are the other plausible avenues you could think of that would further incentivize continuing developmemt contributions from yourself/other devs into the future?
  • i think one idea could be JP Janssen's lottery, where say, 10% of the proceeds go to bounty address
  • @heunland #29965 04:12 AM, 15 Sep 2018
    I don't think the problem is as much finding supporters willing to fund CIP development as developers willing and able to do the actual dev work and code reviews
  • Interesting idea. The lottery like systems on eth certainly get a lot of inflow.
  • @krostue #29970 01:30 PM, 15 Sep 2018

  • @ez13x #30010 11:44 AM, 17 Sep 2018
    do you have a guide about creating a new dex ?
  • The link above covers it well I think from the point of view of someone who wants to trade on the dex. Just use mainnet instead of testnet. If you want to issue your own asset, instead of buying or selling existing pairs simply log on to counterparty and issue your own. For 0.5 XCP ($2.00) it will be stored permanently on the blockchain, protected by the same securiyy as the bitcoin blockchain.

    In theory you can trade tokeens redeemable for eth or anything else. But then users have to trust you will back them..which is a non starter. XCP-XCP tokens (or even XCP-BTC) does not have the same problems, they can be exchanged trustlessly with no counterparty risk

    There was a huge amount of ready-to-be unleashed creativity and experimentation atop of counterparty when serpent integration was announced. Whilst theDAO etc debacles proved at the time it wasn't ready for prime time. It did pave the way for a bit of a rush to the exit IMO as some felt bait and switched. (And of course ETh based smart contract thirst became insatiable) A counterparty specific vm makes a ton of sense somewhat neutered, lean, sensible with a whole ton of new cases opening up.

    had read the initial proposal with interest, very keen on following its dev. nice work 💪

    Here is how it works...

    Below is a list of Counterparty addresses (you'll see it as you read further). Each of these people has already taken part in this system. When someone new comes along (such as yourself) he/she removes #1 off of the list, moves the other five email addresses up one position (i.e. #6 goes to #5, #5 to #4, etc.), and places their Counterparty address in the #6 position. This process is what develops the power of compounding.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    STEP 1:

    Save this message.

    Step 2:

    Send 100 Bitcorns to each of the 6 addresses on the current list from your Counterparty address.

    Here is the current Counterparty address list:

    *************************

    1.
    2. 16FafZ8xqZv8eAoffX9D5pfmS47YqFwYez
    3. 1KacrYMuQW5eqLbrYUotQ1mdsVpxin6hC9
    4. 1DMCrvh4NbkToZi9xmssQoEaFcNk33CC51
    5. 1DLyyj4LonwkngVKFuj2yXMHhPAYsNyJH8
    6. 14MsDSuPb6aMj9S1PNGAuYMudxft2HJaHV

    STEP 3:

    Take the #1 address off of the list that you see above, move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR address (the one used for your Bitcorn send) as number 6 on the list.

    STEP 4:

    Share your amended message created in Step 3 for maximum exposure.

    Many alts are down 1 year but there's no sense with the extent this has been oversold IMO. I'm putting some of it down to shallow markets exacerbating moves in either direction (small volume can easily double current price.. hell current price can 10x with moderate buy pressure) maybe last of the buy high sell low dec 2017 crowd needing rent money is almost. gone. noticing some patient accumulation. Let's see how it plays out
  • Based on what? Hopes and dreams?
  • @jdogresorg #30128 05:11 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    Based on the fact that we have had little to no dev work done over the past year, and now we have a developer who is moving forward on a bunch of initiatives to improve CP including a CPVM which could bring it up to par with ETH and make it a pretty serious competitor.... and based on the fact that a large quantity of XCP is in the hands of a few holders who have no interest in selling anytime soon..... seems primed for a pump at some point this year.... who knows how high it will go, but seems like serious potential if we get the CPVM
  • @jdogresorg #30129 05:12 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    so yeah... hopes and dreams ... nothing is guaranteed 🙂
  • @jdogresorg #30130 05:14 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    Price pumped the highest to 0.02 BTC when the EVM announcement was "accidentally" announced early..... still lots of conspiracy theories surrounding that... but it did show that there was serious interest in the VM at the time.... now that the EVM newness has worn off and some of the centralized "decentralized" smart contracts are being exposed..... perhaps the market will welcome a simpler non-turing complete VM.
  • Can you ELI5 the rationale for a simple VM? Does anyone really need this?
  • @jdogresorg #30132 05:35 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    Proof-of-concept VM Development

    So i’ve recently started to develop a minimal pure python Virtual Machine tailored specifically for counterparty. I’m starting this thread to keep note of development and design decisions, and also to get input from the community regarding what should the VM do. FAQ Why not use EVM? EVM was designed with ethereum blocktimes and specifics in mind. CP has already a lot of groundwork regarding tokens, bets and a lot of useful functions that don’t need to be recoded in a smart contract. Isn’t...

  • Absolutely.
  • @jdogresorg #30134 05:37 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    ELI5..... 99.9% of programming can be done without the need for turing-completeness.... turing-complete is very very VERY hard to do correct and not necessary for most stuff.
  • @529335952 #30135 05:38 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    I'd say a huge majority of buyers brought in on the premise of a VM (just like ethereum itself) even if some portions didn't fully grasp the implications that was a major selling point, and a point for developers to play around with new, advanced use cases. and while it was probably the right call to make not pushing in port of the serpent to mainnet after theDAO (and many other debacles) ETH brushed them off, it had obvious effects. While eth is doing a ton of work on securing things up, wanting to migrate to wasm etc, a simplistic VM makes a ton of sense.
  • I still haven't heard the "why" - there would seem to be very little functionality that can be added by having a VM and clearly potential for problems. Why would the tradeoff be worthwhile? BTW I don't think RSK is a wise way to go.
  • @mightbemike #30138 05:47 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    Is it all about marketing?
  • @jdogresorg #30139 05:51 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    "very little functionality that can be added by having a VM".... hrm... I tend to disagree.... with a minimal VM, we could do almost everything that ETH can do but also eliminate some of the security issues that the EVM has..... for tech details, probably better to ask a dev like John or Devon or Joe looney... I only have a very cursory understanding of the CPVM and the functionality it will provide.
  • Naww... CP has never really been all about marketing.... its one of the weak points of CP, so definitely not all about marketing... more about adding tools to the platform to allow people to play around...... make a big sandbox, the other kids will want to come and play 🙂
  • I suppose my belief is that most of what can be done via Ethereum smart contracts can already be done on Counterparty with some ingenuity, and the rest can be accomplished with minor additions via CIP.
  • @jdogresorg #30142 05:59 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    True... with a little work you can make CP work for almost anything... but currently still need the "middleware" to run on a centralized server.... with the CPVM, the entire thing could run from the blockchain, like ETH does. Opens up possibilities to run things like powh.io (not that I encourage pyramid schemes, but having them be provably fair and truly decentralized does have some appeal)
  • Agreed.
  • Personally I don't see implementation of a specific/somewhat neutered VM as any kind a trade off.
  • Good point. But to be fair, everyone rolling their own platform is problematic too. Now I guess we're all basically using the same contracts as implemented in CP protocol. If everyone can customize every time, aka Ethereum contracts, then security becomes a persistent problem.
  • @104473096 #30146 06:05 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    the risk reduction for the CPVM comes from two design decisions being made early on
  • @104473096 #30147 06:06 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    1) No contract can "loop" over arbitrary data, only map-reduce semantics over predefined sets (holders)
    2) Interaction semantics are what's already there on CP: orders, sells, etc. No way to have random function calls.
  • 2 seems to really lock things down security-wise, that's huge. But 1 might only partially mitigate the turing-complete class of problems, it's not just looping that's problematic, no?
  • @mightbemike #30149 06:14 PM, 20 Sep 2018
    Will I be able to write a smart contract to factor a huge number that has only huge prime factors, such that most nodes will not be able to perform calculation before the next block?
  • @104473096 #30150 06:14 PM, 20 Sep 2018

  • Can Bitcoin core ever reduce op_return to 0? Rendering xcp useless?
  • 👍thanks for the reply. Just been a lingering thought of mine that need to be checked.

    Iam glad to finally see a potential for updates in the future
  • @104473096 #30214 01:07 AM, 24 Sep 2018
    🎉
  • Also the fact that on that compromise the opposing part just obtained what they wanted, pruning op_returns from their dataset
