Wallet is desperately needed, counterwallet is a mess
-
Freewallet is good, but the access token is a real bummer for accessibility
-
-
Something else
-
I’d like to see easily tradable btc pairs.
-
-
-
Since BTC can't be escrowed on the DEX, I dont see that happening... A wallet which supports BTCpay is about the best thing you can hope for, and freewallet already supports that.

-
-
Counterparty wallets ARE bitcoin wallets, bro
-
yeah, counterparty is just a layer on top of bitcoin
-
-
-
-
free wallet needs a new gui
-
-
What I struggle with is that it seems like some xcp/btc pairs are posted on freewallet(btc pay right?)and some pairs are posted without so it ends up being really hard to match. Is it possible to have btc pay on the default wallet, counterwallet? That way most all orders will match
-
This has been discussed here before.... BTCpay was disabled in counterwallet by the FOUNDERS of Counterparty due to having to keep the wallet window open, as this is very insecure. Nothing about that has changed. Freewallet supports BTCpay transactions in a secure way because the wallet can still be opened AND locked at the same time. You also could feel free to write your own implementation of a wallet which solves this problem. 🙂
-
Or tweak counterwallet to allow locking of the funds, while keeping the window open.
-
I believe that Joe also wrote up a wallet which used BTCpays for a while... was hosted at btcpaymarket.com... so he might be open to using BTCpays in his freeport wallet.

-
Is there a way in freewallet to know which orders are btcpay and which ones are not?
-
If your buying something using BTC, then your order require a BTCpay transaction.
-
If your selling something for BTC, you DO NOT require a btcpay transaction as you are receiving the BTC.
-
You can see your orders by viewing the market in question (like XCP/BTC), your order will be listed in the "My Orders" section, and you can click the X to cancel the order if you want.

-
What would your something else be?
-
I think he’s asking if there is a way to know which ones are originating from freewallet with BTC pay enabled.
But just use a dispenser instead. It solves the problem. -
-
There is no way to know if the user is using freewallet and the BTC payment will be automatic.

having relentlessly annoying jdog about this for like a year 2-3 years ago i just wanna say that you for answering the same questions over and over

Yes, CP is down right now and John is working on a fix.
-
Yeah, that’s what I was asking. I just need to play with dispensers a bit. Do dispensers allow a market maker so we can help the folks that come in and ask about where to get xcp?

Send BTC, get XCP from dispenser owner. Dispensers priced at different levels. Dispensers are market makers.

If you want BTC, you sell XCP from dispensers. If you want XCP, you buy via dispensers. That’s both sides.

VM
-
Can someone tell me what a virtual machine would do to help Counterparty? If there is some place that I can read about it I would be grateful for a link.
-
I don't have a link but personally think it would be cool to expereiment with scripting
-
CP is awesome, I think having a scripting language in addition to supporting the native assets would be cool
-
Sounds interesting enough for me to read a use case example. Are there any downsides that people are concerned about? Wondering why this was not implemented years ago.
-
There was discussion around porting the EVM, not sure why it lost steam
-
EVM?

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...
-
because the EVM is crap and supporting a turing complete language would be ruinous. John's idea of a VM is limited, sensible and safe. my opinion only, obviously.
-
I need to read up on the differences between the two. How is it safer?
-
because it would only support a limited instruction set
-
do I really need to be able to write smart contracts that loop endlessly until they run out of gas? yeah maybe, but there are already blockchains for that
-
Confused. Are you for this or against it?
-
He is for a limited VM like the one john has described.... he is not for putting an EVM where you can loop endlessly on CP.
-
If you read the conversation here @chiguireitor explains why he plans it the way he does
-
Yes, I misunderstood, probably most people do. It doesn't mean the wild west and letting people run their Solidity contracts. RSK supports that on Bitcoin already as far as I know.
-
That was a deep rabbit hole.
-
tl;dr: Implement a real simple, assembler like VM without abstract looping structures, limit memory access, prevent turing completeness so we can evaluate the determinist completion of a "contract"
-
Thank you for that translation. Can I read somewhere examples of the use cases of this when it’s in place?
-
there's still not much examples around, but from the top of my head i could tell you it could be possible to create:
* Random tokens sent for a corresponding payment
* Issuance, Locking, Ownership transfer and Balance transfer for NFTs based on stuff sent to the "contract" -
I guess I’m trying to ask whose itch this is supposed to scratch? Is this something that would be done in place of some other thing or is it trivial to do? Assuming it’s not trivial then I go back to my 1st question. If it’s an easy addition I guess it’s a nobrainer but if not then the itch question is more important. Just my 2 cents.
-
Adding a general purpose VM inside Counterparty will allow people to do things in the VM which would traditionally have to be done outside the VM... bad example, but for instance, lets say I wanted to run a proof-of-weak-hands style "honest" pyramid scheme... currently this could be done using Counterparty, but some of the logic such as adjusting the buy/sell prices and tracking the earnings for holders would need to be done by the 3rd party system (ie, a server somewhere running some logic code and deciding what actions to take), and Counterparty would only be used for transferring tokens to buyers/sellers..... However, if Counterparty had a VM, the entire thing could run 100% inside of the VM.... All the logic could be coded up into a smart contract which would run 100% from the blockchain without the need for any external 3rd party services.
-
As to the "why"?.... it is simply a toolbox for people to experiment with and see what they can make.... same basic idea as Etherum, write a VM that can do a bunch of stuff, release it to the world, see what people build with it.... same general idea, a VM just provides another set of tools to use and experiment with.
-
And no, it is not an easy no-brainer update... it is complex and will require someone with great dev skills to get it integrated into Counterparty.
-
I’m glad it’s not my decision to make because that would be pretty hard it seems. I would love to see what people would use it for.
-
/4@pollbot
-
what would be your "something else"?
-
Would love a smart contracting function to see the light of day, was thinking that ever since serpent vm work was underway in 2014/2015 even with the turing complete caveats. Obviously the news of integration and then decision to not commit (albeit prescient, and understandable) caused problems
-
Not the best use of whatever time/resources if any there are IMO.
-
there's a specific option for "VM" then
-
Could add 100 awesome technical features and it's the same crowd using them
-
chose other because
-
no need to vote "something else" 😀
-
aah gotcha
-
but you don't have a specific "something" then
-
wiping the slate clean and relaunching a BTT thread, or forking, or 15 other potential routes that are potentially even less complex from an engineering POV albeit more contentious would tesuly in a bigger community for counterparty and more use in a matter of days (imho)
-
look at shit like bytom.. frontpage proudly leading w "consensus algorithm promotes AI techniques. calculation actually using"
-
WHY is this shit (despite dead subreddit, invisible asset economy) more relevant than counterparty
-
recent bytom buzzword laden mov whitepaper very similar to hazama
-
Lol... As I've said in the past, non scammy stuff is usually quiet
-
We need a more scammy approach to promotion

"The truth is rarepepes are a bit complicated to buy and collect. First you need a Rare Pepe wallet..Then you need to transfer in some Bitcoin from somewhere like Coinbase. Then you need to buy some Pepe Cash (yet another crypto asset) which but only after transferring in some more Bitcoin. Then you transfer the Pepe Cash to your Rare Pepe wallet and then you can buy the digital trading cards"

-
Dispensers alone go a great way to ameliorating some of that initial acquisition headache
-
wallets like freeport are awesome
-
Counterparty is not just one of the best Bitcoin based token experiences but the best point blank. But who knows about itt, let alone knows of the incremental improvements that have been added over the years?
-
counterparty is one of the few non Scammy projects out there that genuinely provides utility and has been around for the longest time with an awesome community. Its biggest problem isn't lack of technical features imho but almost entirely lack of exposure
-
so believe if one was to clone counterparty with all features added over the years,n (remain on btc) provide a mechanism for ongoing dev incentivization-- within a matter of days day you'd have a larger fresh community.
-
IMO Counterparty is significantly ahead of ravencoin in terms of "interesting to use" asset layers, though who knows that?!
-
Though I guess would never happen due to 100 diff reasons and differing incentives (e.g people sitting on squatted assets)
-
so you want to be the first one on board a hypetrain that builds off of the hard work of the existing developers and takes away any existing stake they have in the system?
-
No, not at all. the opposite. Want to incentive devs for past, present and future work.. not meaning to downplay the importance (and appreciation of dev work) LOVE the dispenser feature and feel it's most pribably one of most important addition to counterparty since inception, drastically lpwers thr batrier to bitcoin based tokenozations and opens doors to most liquid ubuqitious undetlying chain in the world..but I feel it's like trying to revive novacoin or feathercoin by making github commits.. see how far that gets. It's an awesome feature. what it needs is exposure.
-
It sure seems like you want to get rid of everyone's existing stake and start from scratch, where you're first in the door
-
"ah, but we'll redistribute the new stake in a favorable way" is not a valid rebuttal to that btw
-
I explained poorly. Nothing could be further from the truth. I haven't touched my stake in like half a decade, have no interest in doing so. Never been interested in getting in and out the door quickly here Would turn stake to zero if it meant starting fresh at nothing, but giving counterparty as a tech yhr chsnce to get 10x the user base.
What I would love is for counterparty to get the usage I believe it was on track to (continue) getting, before a series of unfortunate events (some in part due to knock ons from initial design decisions) happened -
Getting rid of the existing system is not a way forward in my mind.
-
Advertisement etc? That could be discussed.
-
I know what's really needed
-
And definitively would make a HUGE difference
-
another crypto-wide bullmarket?
-
Hahaha
-
No
-
Unity/Unreal/Godot/Gamemaker plugins
-
Give the tools to the product creators to use Counterparty effectively
-
And a good guide
-
Not just a site, but video tutorials on how to use them, examples, etc
-
Having 100-200 game developers creating assets and games using Counterparty would definitively make the utility skyrocket
-
And by Metcalfe's law, through utility you get a more valuable network
-
However, i simply can't do it alone
-
RPP is a pilot project
-
it will hopefully show what can be done
-
Yup
-
What do you think the optimal solution is? I believe last dev commits were still funded by my donation, that unlike robby (who cashed out 7 figures) nevermind his profits outside of donation,, I never clawed back. Counterparty was adam and evans springboard to symbiont, that received backing from jack ma's offshoot, ex nyse head etc..they're out there opening new european HQs.. symbionts talk of "more resources than ever" being able to be donated to counterparty..what has there been? nothing.. compared to consensys, eea.. its saddening
-
There's plenty of high paying work in blockchain space. Countetparty is held together by a couple of volunteers that have patients of saints and could give it up in a heartbeat. wouldn't blame them. Unlike RVN, ETH, insert any ICO coin douby they have much skin in the game
-
Yeah, and as coconut says, funding for Counterparty work is pretty low atm
-
A relaunch of counterparty/major exchange listing/ anything "superficial" like that would help counterparty the most at this stage, over hours of coeing and new releases. as much as that js a controversial opinion. I'm not suggesting any scammy tactics.. just realism
-
Welp
-
My 2 cents
-
counterparty could to be in such a better spot if conditions were right..
-
we all know this.
-
Regardless of XCP price, Counterparty "just works"
-
Dispensers alone makes it massively more interesting.
-
Even if it isn't exchanged anymore, the basic premise is so powerful, anyone can spin up a node and get back into business
-
Right. I agree, same is true of other coins.. but if nobody cares about the price and would be fine with it dying and manually rehypothecating again, I don't understand hoe whenever talks of "forks" or "relaunches" or developer incentivation comes up there's either controversy or silence
-
Because the only one capable/willing atm is me and I'm bogged down with work 🤣
-
Well fair enough then 😁
-
Now, imagine 200 devs creating 10 assets for their games... Making user created assets a reality, potentially opening a market for XCP being used for thousands of assets in games
-
A couple thousand xcp being burnt for assets would potentially mean 10x the users using them
-
And that's just with tooling for game engines
-
There are multiplayer frameworks that are making game building a lot easier
-
Couple them with assets, make magic happen
-
would be awesome..even numerical assets (using counterparty) would be great, now issuers have a much easier way of putting them to market. To anyone familiar with BTC and having a small balance in BTC, they have everything they need already. If only this was more widely known
-
3 letter assets?

KOJI! Long time no see brother... How goes? 🙂
-
well, I've talked with John about this a bit but we have to take into consideration the budget and dev availability obviously. VM would be nice to have (as it's been the case for CP for a long time) but I don't think it's a cure for CP's lack of dev power or will particularly bring in more (new) users
-
Hey J-Dog, likewise, not much for me. Taking it kind of slow nowadays after a few crazy years but working with some data aggregation with John in my spare time etc
-
Yeah, John has mentioned he has been working with you 🙂 You dabble in any LN code yet?
-
Agreed. If counterparty *already" had visibility, though; people would *Love" the idea of a VM. Perhaps there would be the chance of organic promotion ot counterparty 'enabling ethereum like features on bitcoin' (this time for real) like roostock RSKn(but less nonsense), though for now I feel best strategy is something else. Counterparty has so.much untapped discover ability potential IMO
-
-
Yeah I've been interested in and getting involved in the LN community as well but I'm no coder 😅(actually kind of working on it nowadays as I have more time to learn new things now fortunately)
-
Best to take a year or two break from this crazy blockchain space every noe and again, often a blessing in disguise 😁
-
very true. I've been enjoying it so far and strangely more productive with less time of work😏
-
-
-
Yeah I agree with you. Without strong presence in the ecosystem, adding(having someone to work on) VM might turn into a wasted effort, I am afraid
-
-
Yeah, that makes dense. very easy to get oversaturated and burned out without a break and a proper reset.. especially in these scene where the overall positive negative sentiment and activity of the market seem to be at times in lockstep with price movements
-
-
Yep, marketing and developer engagement has been CPs weak point for a while.... no amount of dev work on the platform is going to fix that problem.... need someone (hopefully CP Foundation) to focus on marketing and outreach more.... exchanges would be nice to have, but IMO exchange listings will come when we have more people aware of CP and using it on a daily basis.... the VM would be a nice tool to have in CP, but yeah, not going to solve the main issue of exposure.
-
Would also support that (although not sure if camp liquid would feel the same😀)
-
a lack of developers have been a consistent issue throughout the years and it won't be fixed magically. It requires not only solid tech but also some marketing and community expansion effort and it's very hard to nail both with limited budget in the crypto space imo
-
-
I reached out to some exchanges in the past that greenlighted xcp listing--, that was pending the (now released) dispenser update; so will continue work there very shortly. So will be positive steps on that front.
-
I don't think CP can/should commit to a single new protocol but rather finding a solution to port(or burn) CP assets to reissue tokens on other token platforms or something similar might make sense although I am not 100% sure if it's technically feasible or ideal
-
Counterparty is still one of the few whitelisted assets in Japan. This is no small thing!
-
right, so uniting or working with other token protocols will def address the issue to exposure and dev outreach at least to some degree
-
lol true
-
-
-
There was another japanese community member talking about outreach w/fisco
-
-
-
zaif have also issued their own tokens using counterpary itself. so it was a real dhame
-
yup ik
-
-
Anyways, two western exchanges in the pipeline. Steps for now. Always have dex. Chainrift, liquidity will be built up slowly.
-
-
it's def nice to have more exchanges that list CP assets for sure👍
-
-
I think literally ANY kind of reissue would be ideal for *everyone* building on ot using xcp (an improvement) but seems there is friction and resistance to it
-
-
Yeah it's understandable and it's impossible to make everyone happy
-
-
-
I fail to see how a 'migration' or 'reissue' would have any benifit personally. The resiliancy of Counterparty/XCP, even in a 'dev desert' is that in the end of the day, it's all on the Bitcoin blockchain. Perhaps i'm missing something but how would moving it to shitcoin blockchain. In fact I personally wouldn't use Counterparty if you told me 'hey next month we're gonna do the same thing but on EOS'
-
Fully agree. my feeling is
Counterparty launched in shadows in 2014 before concept of tokenizationwas even defined. A pioneer. Its time tested, secure, lots of new features since but discover ability is low. it'd a miracle it got this far with zero funding.
IMo.a.migration, fork, relaunch in 2019 would give counterparty (and counterparty projects) visibility without requirement of huge PR budget. All new projects get a fresh chance. (see RVN for evidence)
Counterparty would be evolution of tested concept. IMO would receive more users and better prognosis within one week compared to what has happened after almost 6 years here. Just needs optimizing. energy and life -
we have awesome, but tiny community
-
Don't necessarily have to move blockchains at all.
-
then what needs to be 'migrated'? That's not gonna bring us more devs?
-
-
i've been saying for years that even a simple website redesign and re-announcing Counterparty could help get us some more eyes... the website we have now is dated, if we had a revamped website with examples of what you can do with CP, and more focused on marketing than on dev resources, then we could get more attention without having to do much more than update a website.... of course, it would be on the CP foundation/community to determine what the messaging of the new site should be, and get ppl on the same page as far as design goes.... unfortunately like herding cats.
-
I don't think truly lack of weekly giyhub updates was ever the biggest issue. Last I checked plenty of other coins (e.g ltc, dogecoin) hadn't been touched in 6mo-1y
-
Thry didn't need to br since nobody truly cared whether x new feature was added as long as ltc did what it's supposed to do.
-
At the end of the day the most important thing is community
-
I mean this is understandable to me as well (re:issuing tokens on shitcoin/shitty chains), but I think sticking with the Bitcoin ethos and integrity is more important than staying Bitcoin on-chain assets. LN is spearheading second layer tech and tokens will move to a upper layer or sidechains most likely. CP should adopt this and hopefully stay in the Bitcoin ecosystem
-
hence why dogecoin and ltc. "shitcoin" clones are even thriving at all
-
-
if XCP, and IMO more importantly DEx functions, could get on LN that would be amazinggg
-
Many many possible ideas, but ome example.. A rebrand (like darkcoin->dash) and relaunch (lets say ledger modified to include pepetual dev reward)
-
-
-
would solve partially dev funding problem (at least hell of a lot better than current scenario)
-
Plus almost beyond any shadow of doubt bring "new blood" towards counterparty-
-
I understand what you are saying but I don't think simple redesigning of the website or other rather minor optimizations will go a long way personally.
-
-
THIS!!
-
I mean this just sounds like, not counterparty, perpetual dev funds? whose holding those funding with fiduciary control of the keys? Cas if their in the US they better have 100's of thousands of dollars for legal fees
-
migration/reissuing should be a optional feature if implemented. If people want to stick with good old tokens, they should be able to
-
eh getting users from the 'hype train' is not really a long term strategy and attracts bad actors IMO
-
I can get down with this
-
quite a few coins gave a treasury model- e.g zcash, dected, beam, there are various ways to.design in a way that respects regulatory landscape
-
e.g opt in dev donations
-
those all launched before the current regulatory landscape and precidents of legal action brought against crypto token issuers
-
I see what you mean, but I wouldn't even vall it a hype train. At this point its just an awareness train
-
Counterparty train is in the shed rusted with lights off
-
Train works great. Just needs to be polished and painted then passengers are excited to board when they realise it actually exists
-
Some, sure; others no
-
Yeah I like the analogy and I tend to agree
-
Beam and others launched long after sec scrutiny starting maxing up
-
Recruit, Japanese firm (owns glassdoor etc) even invested too in 'seed round'
-
as I said even if we are to add a migration feature, it should be optional. But if we successfully pull it of, CP and its userbase will get more exposure in different communities and either assets thrive on different chains or bring back more attention to the original CP community
-
-
-
Your valued member of this community who ha contributed over years... of course your opinion matters 🙂
-
-
-
-
-
-
bitcorns is still trucking
-
-
the only reason i'd 'migrate' any of my tokens would be for something like LN DEx matching, that's my personal opinion
-
Just feel like counterparty had been "rock solid" and "pure" and "stable" since 2014 but how far had that got everyone?
-
-
-
-
Why not take a risk for once. be bold. Inject some energy, attract some new users? what is there to lose?
-
Adam, robby and evan had bold crazy ideas, like smart contacts, ripple gateways
-
counterparty kick-started the whole token revolution
-
it used to be counterparty eating ethereums lunch
-
I have a feeling when the dust settles much of the 'token revolution' participants will be long abandoned and XCP will remain like the rock it is
-
vitalik wasnt shy to broadcast the fact counterparty has (still had. and will always have) benefits over ethereum
-
-
e.g native btc interop
-
err...this happened years ago.
-
wait till the VC runs out for all the crypto art 'market places' with cuter more intuative GUIs
-
Oh yeah. I suppose 😂 burn rate for some of these ico shitcoins id crazy high. you're right they are still stagnating
-
by the way
-
Once a guide for dispensers id out, it would help if we joined up to at least do some kind of outreach together ad a community
-
maybe a informal ama on reddit like back in the day when counterparty was frontpage r/bitcoin
-
this is a great idea tweet dispenser tutorial at Fred
-
Honestly, the usability is much better now. Barriers to entry much lower
-
also both freeport and freewallet
-
dont get enough love
-
I've spoke to _so many_ people who's only experience of counterparty was freewallet

Freeport >> metamask

in terms of userbase ready to be exposed to cryptogoods

Just hope together as a community we can be energized

Because counterparty is a genuinely cool concept that has a lot of untapped potential.

-
-
Yup.
-
-
-
Still works much better than many 'competing' asset layers. E.g ravencoin, bytom
-
That launched and copied counterparty. years later and got 2000 users in one day
-
-
15,000 miners in one week
-
Yup. exactly.
-
which coin are you talking about?
-
Ravencoin. Lead developer tron black used to evangelize counterparty (still does)
-
Git hired by Patrick byrne (investor in counterparty)
-
-
Moved some counterpaty features to a bitcoin fork chain. They launched as just a bitcoin fork years after counterparty with different PoW but literally no other features..(was a useless bitcoin fork)..not even a whitepaper..didnt matter.. gained 20x counterparty user base in a week
-
they launched BASIC asset features one year ago today
-
still have actual users??
-
-
Little asset use (less than counterparty), no dex, already been hacked etc
-
-
but tens of millions of usd trade volume, more miners than LTC or ethereum
-
Yes.
-
-
-
Some moving though to more enterprise/walled garden solutions. Counterparty still remains one of few viable time tested token platforms
-
one of only two currently built on bitcoin (not mentioning RGB)
-
Omni is way behind despite backing of BFX and hosting tether, worlds most popular token still
-
behind in 'real' use, behind in tech (e.g no segwit, no dex)
-
-
Yes. agreed.
-
Do.many people I have spoken to do not know counterparty exists though!!
-
(although the know rsk)
-
well they had Tether but Tether is also going multi-platform direction and more activities are happening on ETH now
-
some that do know about xcp. they have inaccurate understanding)
-
yup sadly, that's the reality
-
yes. moved to eos, eth, liquid, to rgb..but most still on omni
-
I saw some talk of moving some xcp assets to rgb (lightning)
-
supply-wise, yes, but the number of txs etc are quickly shifting to Ethereum
-
-
Typical 😁
-
I mean if it's possible, I'd love this
-
makes sense though
-
-
Agree. token revolution only starting. lots of potential for counterparty that's for sure
-
yup the real usage of tokens on blockchain haven't even started yet
-
-
even if there is permissioned layer (e.g federated side chain) supporting counterpart tokens, they would be borne and exist on permissionless bitcoin chain
-
not like kadana or hyperledger or whatnot
-
one of counterparts everlasting strengths and selling points
-
Hey all
-
Nonstop my fednode gets errors like this
counterpartylib.lib.check.SanityError: 32768 HAYMAKER issued ≠ 32775 HAYMAKER held
and it crashes. I can start it back up and it brings it back online just fine but has to catch up. Is there any fix to this? A constantly crashing node is not a stable release lol -
pull master, delete database, pull bootstrap, keep going
-
hotfix was already issued
-
an entire resync is required?
-
Thatll take longer than a week
-
nope, just pull the bootstrap
-
we updated the bootstrap to lessen the updating burden on everyone
-
Interesting will look into it, thanks!
-
How big is the bootstrap? And whats typical processing time look?
-
Downtime is quite a no go for my current situation
-
fednode update
fednode rebuild
wont touch my wallets will it? -
latest mainnet bootstrap is like 1.3 gigs... should go fast....
-
no it won't touch your wallets since all your config data is in federatednode/config/
-
Downtime will be minimal since we udpated the bootstrap image.... otherwise your talking a day or so of parsing
-
the following should do the trick
-
cd federatednode/
fednode stop
sudo rm -rf data/counterparty/counterparty.*
cd src/counterparty-lib/
git pull
fednode rebuild counterparty counterparty-testnet
fednode stop
fednode start -
that should stop the fednode, pull down the updates to counterparty-lib, remove the current counterparty database, and rebuild the CP containers to include the hotfix.... after that you just start CP up and let it parse some blocks to catch up
-
when you start up counterparty, if no database is detected, it will automatically download the bootstrap 🙂
-
Ok ty, running now, hopefully is quick. Node is on gigabit internet so shouldnt take long to download bootstrap at all, processing db will take the longest
-
Will it automatically destroy old db?
-
data/counterparty/ is empty
-
is why I ask
-
are you root?
-
even though the node is running
-
No
-
sudo su
-
then you should have permissions to view the directory and remove the files
-
or just run sudo rm -rf data/counterparty/counterparty.*
-
-
nada there lol
-
wierd... you should have symlinks setup to the docker volume... thought fednode did that automatically
-
-
You might want to create the symlinks manually
-
sudo su
cd federatednode/data/
ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/federatednode_armory-data/_data armory
ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/federatednode_bitcoin-data/_data bitcoin
ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/federatednode_counterblock-data/_data counterblock
ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/federatednode_counterparty-data/_data counterparty
ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/federatednode_indexd-data/_data indexd
ln -s /var/lib/docker/volumes/federatednode_mongodb-data/_data mongodb -
tada, that worked, thanks
-
np
-
math, just for curiosity, and if you can reveal, any public project you're working on that's related to xcp?
-
Got it rolling, at block 602220 rn so a few hours and will be caught up, thanks guys
-
Certainly, I am cto at boaexchange.com 🙂
-
We’ve been having our hot wallet for counterparty crash a lot, didnt know there were updates released
-
aaah gotcha, you should subscribe to the mailing list, releases are sent out from there
-
Where can I find that?
-
wait a bit
-
aha.... it's on https://counterparty.io/ at the bottom of the pageHome
Counterparty is a metaprotocol that extends the functionality of the Bitcoin blockchain with asset issuance and smart contracts.
-
very out of the way
-
Beauty, thanks for the help & guidance! Ive added myself
-
sooo your gonna list xcp?
-
We are listing trig :) a counterparty asset
-
If counterparty would like to provide market making we can certainly list it

Hello

After doing a deeper analisys on the CP situation, my belief if that the first priority is to develop a stronger network of nodes to prevent continuos crashing of services.
No point in developing a VM or a nicer wallet if the whole thing crashes all that time. And it's been so hard for us to setup a full node that at this point we are abandoning the effort all together.
I love CP and nothing would make me happier to keep working on it, but in order to have a product with adoption, with new users and make live demos is very important to be able to guarantee a stable network. -
needless to say i'm very gratefull with @chiguireitor and @jdogresorg, the foundation and everyone contributing here. And I'm always up for collaboration.
-
-
generally it is pretty stable.... under high mempool load things start slowing down.... also the stunnel process dies occasionally when CP dies, so I need to manually restart the SSL tunnel otherwise even if CP is up, https communication won't work
-
We also suggested and proposed to mirror the xchain in one of our servers.The services just keep continuously crashing.
-
xchain.io is a closed source block explorer.... you can feel free to run a counterparty node and counterparty2mysql which writes all counterparty data to a mysql database... which you can then write an explorer on top of
-
GitHub - jdogresorg/counterparty2mysql: PHP script that populates a MySQL database with Counterparty data
PHP script that populates a MySQL database with Counterparty data - jdogresorg/counterparty2mysql
-
John and I have been working the past few weeks since the release of the new version of CP on misc stability issues... we had a sanity error which was fixed. Unfortunately since switching to bitcoin core 0.18.1, blocks seem to parse signifigantly slower when mempool is full
-
If anyone wants to run a public CP node, that could help, as currently the only public CP node is public.coindaddy.io (on the same box as xchain.io)

Hi

-
are counterparty and free wallet down?
-
check counterwallet.io... seems to be up to me
-
I get text alerts within 5 minues of if a services goes down
-
so post it on the DEX or go sell it on chainrift.... or setup a dispenser to sell XCP at that price... no one is going to buy from you in here OTC.

looks likie great news in light of private key day, or whatever the holiday is called.
interesting note that it seems the top exchanges that use to have almost half, now have less than a quarter of the supply. also the holdings of the non-top-100 holders went up as well :D -
-
-
-
-
I'm part of the 0.1%
-
I want to get my own dispensers out there soon, but it seems there is still confusion on how/why to make/use one. Therefore I will work on this guide some more tomorrow
https://etherpad.net/p/dispenser
in the meantime, ANYONE, should feel free to take a crack at the content. thanks -
-
-
-
Then i guess I'm in the 0.001%

And the red or yellow one is Polo which in that case, those assets should be decommissioned and no longer available.
The lack of liquidity and diversified holdings will send xcp soaring with any buy side demand.
