They as in free stampers and ‘Mike and co’, not you.
I remember your named stamp stuff. It was good, until it disappeared.

This chat has to be least efficient way to figure anything out

Can anyone tell me about those ordinal dispensers that I see all the time,actually right now it says someone paid 69btc for 7.2344
-
It’s spam, was setup on an exchange wallet
-
As soon as that shit started it really slowed the site down a few months ago,mostly the same ones
-
-
When I first started using it years ago it seemed lightning fast now it lags days for transactions
-
For me anyway
-
Someone found a way to distribute their tokens far and wide, and used Counterparty according to the rules. They the most successful dispensers operator ever
-
I’m guessing it’s you
-
-
I suppose this could be a way to track depositors

I set this one up on the first spendable Bitcoin address https://xchain.io/tx/c6df2a6c72d160f0d19cd8735a842ac80e2a249064cee28393bd1edcdb823fa8

I thought it was the first spendable block, I’m an idiot.
Block 1 has a token called GOLDTICKET sent 8 years ago so no dispenser is possible on that address -

spendable reward from block 1 yes but sats can be sent from genesis address if they don't originate from block 0

Almost every IETF participant knows the aphorism from Dave Clark's 1992 plenary presentation [Clark] regarding how we make decisions in the IETF: We reject: kings, presidents and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code. That is, our credo is that we don't let a single individual dictate decisions (a king or president), nor should decisions be made by a vote, nor do we want decisions to be made in a vacuum without practical experience. Instead, we strive to make our decisions by the consent of all participants, though allowing for some dissent (rough consensus), and to have the actual products of engineering (running code) trump theoretical designs.RFC 7282: On Consensus and Humming in the IETF
The IETF has had a long tradition of doing its technical work through a consensus process, taking into account the different views among IETF participants and coming to (at least rough) consensus on technical matters. In particular, the IETF is supposed not to be run by a "majority rule" philosophy. This is why we engage in rituals like "humming" instead of voting. However, more and more of our actions are now indistinguishable from voting, and quite often we are letting the majority win the day without consideration of minority concerns. This document explains some features of rough consensus, what is not rough consensus, how we have gotten away from it, how we might think about it differently, and the things we can do in order to really achieve rough consensus. Note: This document is quite consciously being put forward as Informational. It does not propose to change any IETF processes and is therefore not a BCP. It is simply a collection of principles, hopefully around which the IETF can come to (at least rough)…

I have just clicked something to be able to see the results. I personally do not care about numeric assets at all. I just hope using Counterparty will be as easy as it was before.
At this stage, I personally have a lot of uncertainty about which wallet (and CP layer) to use moving forward, and I would obviously like to stay with Age of Chains on that side of the protocol to which the other OG projects, in particular Spells of Genesis, Rarepepe, Bitcorn et al tend to stick to. -
Seeing this now on Xchain which is great. How much time to cast a vote?
I'd be curious about the sentiment of others before submitting my vote. -
I tried direct. You said bring it back here. 😂
-
Exactly - keep your comments here
-
Puts things in perspective. Not really an apples to apples comparison, mind you, but a blockchain older than CP (just rediscovered so no actual improvements in a decade) had 14 million inscriptions done in just a couple weeks. In comparison, around 40,000 stamps.
https://x.com/adamamcbride/status/1745988798960345141Adam McBride (@adamamcbride) on X14 million inscriptions with a ten year old rickety sas meme blockchain. Not too shabby #BELLSblockchain

The blockchain is brand new, its a clone of an old coin.

Ok fair enough. I should look into it further

It’s def been laggy

No vote is an option.

I’d like to make a general proposal for the fee structure and the subsequent allocation of the fees collected.
1. Fee Structure
*Fee for creating named assets: 0.5 XCP
*Fee for created numeric assets: 0.5 XCP
(Creation of a assets should cost the same regardless of whether it is numeric or named. Both BTC and ETH charge fees in their native token for using the network. Counterparty should be able to do the same.)
2. Allocation of asset creation 0.5 XCP fee generated
*Software development fund: 0.20 XCP (placed in fund)
*Server/infrastructure fund: 0.15 XCP (placed in fund)
*XCP deflationary value creation: 0.15 XCP (burned)
There are several problems facing counterparty that can be saved by a solution such as this:
*Software development: FUNDED!
*Server/hardware purchase & maintenance: FUNDED!
*Maintenance of value of native token: FUNDED!
Having these problems solved by reasonable fees paid by people using the counterparty protocol/infrastructure seems like an equitable and logical answer.
I’m sure the dev and user communities will have a wide variety of reactions to these ideas and numbers, but I thought it worthwhile to publicly suggest them.
Thank you for your consideration as well as your continued interest and support of counterparty. -
In order to collect and distribute funds you need something like a foundation with decision-makers. Counterparty foundation was disbanded years ago.
-
Also if you take a look at xchain (prior to the takedown) named assets averaged 5-10 issuances per day. So that's about $20/day on the generous side. You should see about the same number of numerics as most stamps activity has actually migrated off of counterparty (SRC20). So let's say $40/day. That's about $15,000 per year.
-
$15,000 aint nothing, but it hardly solves infrastructure and dev funding.
-
Oh... btw, if you set-up a foundation (as they did last time as a Delaware corporation) you have to pay taxes, so it's more like $10,000.
-
They get into the dissolution of the foundation in this video. Some interesting Counterparty history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyM8sx4JNUECounterparty Forks, Counterparty Foundation, and Consensus Failures (Part 1/3)

-
I nominate Space Mike for new the countparty foundation .
-
Set-up a poll.
-
what if we went the complete opposite direction and removed the fee for named assets? XCP is basically worth nothing so its not like there's much barrier to name squatting currently. and there's already a bunch of name squatting anyway. just a random thought while im cooking
-
-
i made a statement on this earlier today as well
-
why not sunset 10 years of anti-squatting mechanism and invigorate a robust secondary market for asset namespace
-
I'm a bit confused about the stamps thing.
You are saying that most stamps activity has already migrated off of counterparty.
If this is the case, why are the stamps creators so hotly debating whether or not CP charges a fee for generating numeric assets?
If the stamps creators do not use CP, why would it be a concern to them whether or not CP charges a fee for creating assets? -
Consensus is stasis. We aren't hotly debating anything because we aren't the ones attempting to break away from the consensus. We also don't have a say in what ultimatelty happens either way. I am a counterparty member since 2017 and have launched many named asset projects. I speak on my own behalf.
-
words mean nothing. we can argue in this chat because we like to argue. Consensus is consensus and isn't decided in a telegram chat.
-
It has a $13 million market cap. That’s not nothing.
-
Great questions here.
-
You should speak up then…. Cuz XCP votes for yes already at like 30k+ yes for fee… n projects voting n reaching out to me to update xchain to indicate their votes (with link to broadcasts from project leaders from known project addresses…. Like it or not… the community is speaking…. How about encouraging ppl to vote rather than more drama🤷🏻♂️
-
Because its not a vote. At best its a sentiment poll. That's not how consensus is arrived at nor will I give this poll legitimacy by promoting or voting.
-
Space Mike are you a communist?
-
Talk about "loaded" language. Is that actually the "official" Counterparty position? Who even is "official" now that the foundation is shut down?
-
That's not communism. Its the reality of how consensus is arrived at. You don't get a vote that obligates someone else to write or host code.
-
I see, so more like a champagne socialist.
-
has nothing to do with socialism. stop trolling
-
-
NGL I'm waiting for the return of the BITGIRLS:
-
-
Anyone in here touched some grass yet?
-
snow outside so no
-
encouraging people to vote creates drama

Interesting... Bitgirls started off as an ICO but it looks like it never actually launched? Hard to find more info on it as their website is now down:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1616089.0
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-rebranding-in-japan-bitgirls-tv-show-to-sugarcoat-mtgox-drama
Their original ICO token was never distributed, unless if its called something else:
https://xchain.io/asset/BITGIRLS -
It was kind of a cool project. I think there were 2 or 3 seasons.
-
I think the whole series/collection is listed here:
Bitgirls season 1:
https://rarejapanesenfts.com/collection/bitgirls/BitGirls - Rare Japanese NFTsBitGirls is a special NFT collection that’s linked to a real TV show in 2016. The show itself ended a long time ago, but its unique token system and the concept of making blockchain collectibles based on real idols still fascinate.
-
There was also a super high issuance group of bitgirls tokens that were trading at Zaif. I have a few hundred but they don't provide a way to export them from Zaif.

-
This is getting ridiculous now.
-
Consensus has been reached by the current active dev team; those responsible for making the changes.

amazing

Does anyone know the first digital art to be inscribed with Counterparty?
-
AFAIK, JP inscribed the first Art with a broadcast
https://www.xcp.dev/tx/627ae48d6b4cffb2ea734be1016dedef4cee3f8ffefaea5602dd58c696de6b74
I created CCSATOSHI, which was the first to use base64 in the token’s description.
https://www.xcp.dev/tx/4c19b8f1b4dcefa27490d2a8d4b5afea2350d0b75640e402519e8aa2a628397a -
I’m liking this idea
-
Depends what you define as “digital art” - an image? Code? Intent? Conceptual? Etc.
-
An update: For anyone not familiar, I'm one of the three original Counterparty co-founders, and was active in code development for the project especially in the 2014-2016/2017 timeframe. For the last good number of years though, my interests have led me to a totally different field, and life has happened (wife, kids, etc). I've maintained the github "owner" role of the Counterparty-related repositories for years, and in the absence of time to write code, have helped behind the scenes with resolving interpersonal conflicts and keeping someone at the wheel working on the project and fixing bugs.
Recently we've had some changes, such as j-dog leaving the project development team and Adam and Evan coming back into the community. I've polled the current "dev team" (Joe, JP and Shannon Code) and they are all in favor of Adam being given commit access again. I will be doing this shortly, as well as removing myself from dev team access, as having it is no longer necessary. Adam being back on the team and having the time to work on things will add a lot to the project!
I will continue to lurk in these chats (for the memes, if nothing else). After ten years, It's great to see that Counterparty is still around with a dedicated community. I wish the project the best of luck moving forward. -
Great to hear Robby, I’ve been watching Adam’s activity on GitHub and I am also interested in contributing code myself.
-
-
-
10 years of spam on the blockchain 😅
-
-
cope. admitting you have no real community its all fake and ghey 😂
-
-
-
Yeah I think I've watched all the commits on github consistently for the last decade but rarely comment
-
somehow the ordinals thing though made me think there might be a larger opportunity here for those of us who were early
-
and I still love immutability
-
well from my research on the "the first NFT" no one seems to have a very clear definition of it despite some people shilling quite actively
-
lol. We have 250k stamps and no community 🤷
-
-
so ideally I'd go for: hash or content of art piece + fungibility of the art piece
-
if you really want to get down and dirty I'd argue Satoshi minted the first "art on the blockchain"/NFT with the genesis block header
-
notice i said transferability
-
anyways i doubt that satoshi would agree with you
-
Many definitions of what an "NFT" is are indeed used out of convenience or bag bias, so its hard for everyone to agree, but I tend to go with @jp_janssen's OLGA as it is the 1st 1-of-1 Counterparty token, and nobody had thought to make a 1-of-1 on Mastercoin at that point, or even NXT, as far as I know.
https://xchain.io/asset/OLGA -
Namecoin people would say it was earlier & over there, d/bitcoin or something, but the term "token" wasn't applied to Namecoin assets until 2021... it was retroactively applied after NFTs became all the rage.
To be fair a lot of Counterparty users also refer to fungible tokens as NFTs... it just makes it easier for novices to understand what they are. -
I was reading JP Jassen's description a couple of days ago
-
Namecoin is like “accidental art”. Is someone’s Facebook avatar really “art”?
-
Unfortunately a lot of the namecoin assets also just expired on their own
-
Haha don’t tell the NMC people this
-
🤷
-
Yeah I prefer collecting stuff that doesn't expire... Its like if you have a baseball card, but you don't register it every 8 months, it disappears...
-
Well referring to the "first expired NFT" isn't quite as sexy for marketing purposes
-
-
-
Thanks for all your support over the years, and making sure that only people who have proven they can code, proven themselves able to think under pressure n act rationally towards solving the emergency when everything fails, have repo access over the years. Few truly understand the pressure of the whole project riding on one person, and I know you do.
I agree with your decision, am seeing Adam return and engage in a way I respect, he clearly has the technical skills to manage and code on Counterparty.
I think the community is strong enough now (devs n users), n CP is best served by us stepping away after 10 years, and I support your decision, the core devs decision, and think this is the best case scenario I was working toward the last month 🥳❤️
This is the end of the beginning for Counterparty. -
-
-
-
-
-
-
Would be nice to see a per address vote tally too
-
-
-
its been available since the polls started... here is the URL to get the breakdown of votes, by address, n what is used to determine that over 1% of CP has said YES to fee (42,000+ YES votes) and 0 NO votes.... just giving info, not trying to push in one way or the other, just facts... everyone who is voting is saying YES.... and no real "NO" votes... if you refuse to participate, that is cool.... but i looks to me like there is a loud YES from stakeholders and projects saying to support fee.... and only opposition I see is the poll n some chats here... which is just ONE aspect of the data gathering.... so, the easily gamed poll (here) says no.... everything else where ACTUAL stakeholders in XCP and Projects, seems to be saying YES to fee.
-
Ignore at your own peril....i'm off to vegas... l8r gater
-
That poll says that all the people that hold the token wants to pump It.
-
Voting entirely for self interest, which is completely understandable and not unexpected at all.
-
So dumb asking token holders about a mechanism that will make their token more scarce
-
It’s bias from the start and a nothingness to everyone else. Not even worth a vote
-
-
Yup. Told people not to vote. Hope it remains at zero.
-
I see it as XCP stake holders and ppl who been here since the original burn, and invested in the platform are speaking... again, interpret the data how you want... but, ignore at your own peril... if community screams YES in all polls... n ppl decide to ignore, that can be fine... but, at least it is going to be made clear, community wants something, tried to communicate it in many ways..... and core devs ignored it.... which is fine, but all decisions gonna be public now... its best for CP
-
What % of the supply do you have?
-
awesome... thanks mike... so, tell ppl NOT to vote where it matters (XCP and proejct polls).... but tell them to vote no here, cuz its easy to game... got it
-
I see you mike... no more games... .calling out what I see as BULLSHIT from now on ... loudly... its a new J-Dog... buckup bro!..
-

Haven’t told any one to vote anywhere

The Counterparty logo literally links to coindaddy on the vote page. May want to fix that
-
talk technical like you know what your talking about... till someone pushes back on ya... then "Just here for the memes, i'm dumb"..... pick a side... your understand everything and want to speak on it.... or your a dumbass who knows nothing and is just throwing shit into a fire n watching it burn for LULz.... which is fine (go cypherpunks).... but, OWN IT.... your an anarchist clearly... but are you really smart or really dumb or just here to get your name in big lights..... it remains ot be seen.... but i'm done hearing you talk like some prophet.... you had an idea (unoriginal) to spam stuff.... it took off, you ignored ppl... damage was done... .YAY, your famous.... BOO... you shit all over the community, caused this drama... and why... cuz MIKE WANTS TO BE FAMOUS N INCHARGE OF A BIG PROJECT.... MIKE is CP... ROFLMAO... what a joke
-
-
-
-
big projects come with big costs... think your finally starting to understand that... but remember "we don't rely on XChain, J-Dog is over-reacting, J-Dog is not CP".... your words... stand by them, even when they are proven to be lies (you dont run on my shit, saying taht nonsense for many months)... tho, soon as I just RATE limit my stuff.... prettymuch 99% of the stamps ecosystem stops dead in its tracks... maybe next time keep your arms around the project, keep the standard open, and keep control of the devs related to your project.... then maybe you will have a better idea of if you TRULY depend on things, and are just listening to YES men..... cuz, from my perspective... you look REAL dumb for 9 months saying no problem.... it took me like less than a few hours to simply rate limit my stuff and stop all of your "We dont use your shitty infastructure" argument dead in the tracks..... sorry to vent.... wont take it out on everyone... but, best believe I am speaking my mind going forward.... So... you keep doing you... and i'll keep doing me.... as I said when I walked away... I'm fine with history deciding if I was right.... I put in 10 years n carried CP on my back, alone, for a large portion of that time.... You got a hot project that got attention, but end result.... annoyed and frustrated the ONE person working on stuff so much, that he decided to move on to other things..... I think it is actually TIME for CP to grow... so maybe this is a good thing... but, having one project abuse the shit out of what I have built, almost burn it to the ground, and then make a hostile power grab for the codebase is NOT how the transition of power should have gone...... Think I am a crazy person all you want.... my history speaks for itself, this was all a step by step approach to achieve the goal of not making this my problem anymore.... and now its not
-
Hate me if you want... you got a big project with millions of dollars supposedly.... you got options to solve the problems in front of you.... keep arguing against fee if you want.... but, I gave you options to get what you want.... your choosing to just continue with more of the same nonsense.... cept NOW I am able to call it out publicly, and higlight it, by being the "crazy dictator" role.... insane or sane... left up to history to decide
-
but sure seems like transition took a week, and is wrapping up 1 hour before I get on a plane to vegas..... could be all coincidence... or COULD be a sane plan, to act crazy, to get out of control, and it has been executed.... perfectly no!.... but, end goal is achieved... i'm out, Adam is in, lots dev interest n building happening... Hate me if you want, but I choose this outcome and put CP on this course.... just had to make sure ppl coming back would engage in good faith.... and they have, so they have my support 🎉️️️️️️🚀️️️️️️❤️️️️️️️

Someone grab this man a shovel

if i'm leaving, best believe I am firing bullets (verbal / reputational) at people who I feel have made my life infinitely more difficult, and who tho they SAY they are here for the community, have (to me at least) proven that is not the case.... so yep... dig away.... tho notice... this ROGUE dictator... only has really fired at 2 ppl... @krostue and @mikeinspace .... everyone else here, EVEN THE STAMP DEVS, are working to build CP up... might have different motivations... but these 2 really made my life hell the past year, so saying it loud n proud

Read the chat, history, bro…. I tried to give up all the properties said here take them core devs and they said no we don’t want the responsibility you keep holding and running everything….
I also on my chat yesterday clarified that I will keep running all counterparty properties on counterpart software as I have done for 10 years
But yeah, don’t read anything. Say I’m the bad guy you’re in touch with the community. Ignore me. 🤷🏻♂️
But for sure, fuck you Duncan ! -
When you say you will does that mean
I’m happy to do so
Or
I’m not willing to cede control of these items if asked -
Sorry bro… not handing off properties to people who are just now stepping up…. Got approve yourself for at least a couple years…. Or be a founder and ask for them back publicly loudly and take full responsibility for running everything official for counterparty.
As you may have learned in the past few days … when there is conflict, there is no consensus, so the best path is to do nothing and wait for changes and reevaluate in the future.
So that is what I am doing. -

Where - isn’t everyone a free rider engaging with the counterparty protocol , by design?
-
Do you trust Adam, Looney, JP and Shannon? Because it’s not 1 persons vote anymore.
-
The Great Tusk Paradox seems much more applicable here
-
Yes - seems like a good thing
-
I dunno if it ever was or ever shall be this serious. I just wanna enjoy my frog pics with my frens
-
Not exactly. Most actively use the protocol responsibly without jeopardizing the infrastructure. A few are using the shit out of it while openly hostile to XCP and sucking value out instead of putting value back in.
-
What counterparty infrastructure was jeopardized ?
Again seems like a great tusk paradox more than anything else -
I dont run the telegram chat
-
"Using the shit out of it" 😂 yeah we can't have that
-
People confuse the protocol with a 3rd party service (which is not unreasonable given how intertwined they’ve been all these years). That’s not good. Devs are working on needed optimizations.
-
-
No I understand the difference. Do you think it’s honorable to abuse the protocol and infrastructure built around it without encouraging a healthy use of its native token and giving back to something thats given you so much eh?
-
You’ve made lots of loonies eh? There’s nothing free in this world, only trade offs.
-
You’ve characterized it as abuse, I don’t accept the premise.
-
I challenge you to a duel.
-
“When did you stop beating your wife?”
-
Never accept someone else’s framing
-
-
-
-
Cognitive dissonance.
-
BTNS is soooo much worse than numerics.
-
The absolute worst “spam” that can possibly be done amounts to an average of 7 counterparty transactions per second. The database is 8gb total. These numbers are very small.
This is not a “spam” problem, this is a code efficiency problem. Adding a fee doesn’t fix code inefficiencies -
so please every time someone tells stamp is abuse bc they dont pay fee read this
-
I’ll create a vote!
-
-
xcp fee wont solve the issue
-
-
-
-
-
-
Still haven't changed my mind
-
Right because you’re not swayed by technical realities. This is a religious fight to you
-
we doing it in btc, so we move on?
-
I don't understand how charging someone an additional fee is a fix to an optimization issue. Doesn't that seem like we're just chasing people away so we can stick within our limits?
-
or trying to chase them away with a $2 fee.. what is that $2 going to help?
-
going to parse the block faster?
-
Anything bc also they are burned if was used for other thing could help to pay devs and infra but how is burned just help bagholders
-
🤷🏻♂️ the current rules of CP allow it, just like numerics, so maybe it’s not abuse🤷🏻♂️
-
-
-
Sir, can you explain how the fees will optimize the code? I gotta be missing something here..
-
-
I need the science!
-
Troll question
-
No because I have no financial interest if/if not fee is added.
I believe that if u want to spam 10k pfp projects using CP assets you should have xcp associated fees like normal assets.
I have heard why you used numerics, free, you had no money for infrastructure
I have seen you admit what your claims to be false, but is advertising
I believe, that if you want to make as many assets and more, and devalue the 10 year history of assets made, then at least pay the xcp fee.
I believe that the fee should be implemented and was consensus prior to recent events
I have read the chats, and your clan have not acted in a respectful work alongside manner
I say yes to fees, change my mind -
There's a poll of $xcp fee bag holders...
-
not at all, how is a $2 fee going to stop anything? I was paying $600 fee's last bull run and didn't care
-
It's not a fee. It's community sacrifice
-
a sacrifice isn't going to make blocks parse faster
-
Ok
-
I’m in violent agreement
-
who;s the troll here?
-
🫵
-
Referring to XCP users at bag holders isn’t helping your case. I hold $1k or less in XCP. Regardless, why do so many feel so entitled to utilize CP without insuring its long term viability? Prob because most of them know they won’t be around here in a year or so once stamps fizzle out. They will move on to something else as others have said.
-
xcp fee burned does nothing in long term viablity
-
I dunno who you are but there's no need to be a twat, I'm asking honest questions
-
-
It wasn't honest. That's why I spoke up
-
its 100% honest, I'm not understanding how this will help.
-
and not one person has given me an answer
-
I’m not of the opinion stamps will fizzle out. We are working hard to make it as successful as possible.
-
You know the answer, that's obvious. It's a fallacy
-
lol, I haven't been awake long enough to be in a discord chat.
-
Is the murder weapon where you left it?
-
-
-
-
@jp_janssen what do you disagree with here?
-
Feel like there needs to be a generative ai bot just continuing this circular convo here. So much easier
-
Named certainly have their value and I’ve utilized them in many projects: Phockheads, Rare Shadilay, Punycodes, Drooling Apes… Stamps is a different thing where emphasis on the name wasn’t necessary and, in fact, would cause “analysis paralysis” as well as the other frictions that have been endlessly discussed. Removing friction was the #1 priority.
-
Yup, not sure anything of value being added at this point. I’d probably do myself a favour by leaving.
-
Is quite sad to see, that CP and Stamps devs are working to put solutions to all the issues detected, plus to develope CIPs that where written but not implemented in many years.
And people here that claims that are protecting CP dont want to see It, even do they have reade It over and over again... I wander why not many devs are talking here.
I was agreing to the fee, but starting to doubt as not sure Im in the boat to pump bags from people that doesnt give a shit about Counterparty. -
You want no fee
-
-
Instead yall here trying to convince the people that do want fee
-
Fat finger lol. I meant thumbs up
-
-
-
This is a retconned narrative. The controversy at the time was src20 that got migrated off cp. JDog has not been yelling for “10 months” to put a fee on numerics.
-
So your love for no fee shows, at least admit it
-
Bro, this is the best spot CP has ever been. We have the founder back coding, looney, JP, Shannon, this shits awesome tbh lol
-
I agree
-
if named assets pay a fee why not numerics?
-
word
-
Exciting times, not sure why we still fighting for 0.5$
-
they do .. subassets are named and numeric
-
Cuz you get a scarce name. It’s an anti-squat mechanism
-
By putting a fee on numerics it’s like saying named assets have no value above a random string
-
Seems like that makes sense and community wants it too. I think both will pay the fee eventually
-
It doesn’t matter what we say here lol
-
Is that why the consensus was half that of named asset fee?
-
its ok i should just read the 500 msgs, or just make some stmaps myself to figure it out. Now im a bit more confused to the actual solution, i am happy to see CP room lots of msgs and tweets tho, same with the jdog chat the other day
-
A sentiment poll on behalf of the “community” using counterparty logo to confer “officialness” is not “consensus”. I’d call it Astro-turf.
-
I'm talking about when the maintainers position was yes fee ser
-
How you view consensus
-
I’m not them. They can speak to their own motivations
-
U seem to be speaking alot as to why no fee
-
I speak as an individual and long-standing member and creator within the cp community.
-
Do you know so far, the argument against? Because I know why you want the fee..
-
Didn’t the devs say database optimization is the real issue?
-
So when it suits narrative, yes, when u have no answer, not me lol
-
Has any stampers donated for the beloved freewallet/xchain?
-
Or they never cared?
-
By the way I just did some calculations. If the > 60k art stamps has done the 0.1 fee. That would have increase the market cap Up to 0.0023%...
The funny thing IS.
1° that this measure its not going to prevent spam
2° its not going to help to maintain infratructure or incentive development
3° Its not going to pump your bags.
Im starting to think you dont even want the fee, just dont like enought Netflix. -
What does that have to do with database optimization?
-
Just shows as clearly as they state, here for a free ride regardless the effects
-
Getting us a new shiny toy lol
-
Welcome to post office coin
-
Still 10 minutes lol
-
-
Again you confuse services with a protocol. We write messages to the Bitcoin blockchain. That’s all. Early on donations were made, then the src20 hysteria caused JDog to send those donations back. Given the current hostility towards stamps community I’m sceptical of further donations to this particular service.
-
I confuse nothing, you had no funds/brains to be btc only play, u used CP and surrounding infra that we all use to the point of collapse
-
-
-
Yh leaders left during ATH
-
But I think there should be an xcp burn out of respect, not bag value
-
This should really concern you. The fragility of what you are reliant on if it collapses at the slightest amount of “usage”
-
That’s why I challenged you to a duel. When two gentlemen can’t reach an agreement it’s the only way.
-
We can keep going round in circles, seems like things are been done on CP side, and now you can donate to help with costs on FRW/Xchain, doesn't swade my decision that I think we should have an xcp free on numerics
-
You are free to fork off at any time. That's how this works. No one is forced to run a ruleset they don't agree with
-
I thought this (CP) was all something different than it is.
I was wrong... I can openly admit that
This is survival of the fittest...
I'm used to that... unfortunately
I have to go make sure my project is fit enough to survive in this environment.
Thank you all for the education -
-
Lol, nah if this continues you keep post office coin to yourself, if I'm minting 10k pfp projects I may as well go to eth
-
well I'm glad you just came out and said it. It's really about not wanting "usage" at all. 10K PFP projects are well within the scope of "NFTs" and to be a platform that turns up its nose to such a popular usecase explains alot about the platform's current predicament.
-
10k pfp projects that pay no fee to be clear
-
I've said it a few times now lol
-
U like to go round in circles with your logic
-
this whole room does.
-
You agree to use the fee to cover infraestructure, pay New developments, market Counterparty or nah... Just Burn It?
-
Just to be 100% clear here
-
Either, personal preference burn but happy with either
-
You think no fee to be clear?
-
Woow Im glad to know this. Didnt think you tought this way.
-
The xcp we use to create assets gets burned, I came here to do like has been done
-
-
Key thing are stopping this are.
1° Current scenario where devs are focusing on solve scalability and descentralization problems in CP.
2° Decide where to use the fee. -
Well as far as I recall they are free, they allways been
-
-
? Please digest?
-
Another circle?
-
Plus you didn't answer so....
-
Shall we troll or speak honestly
-
I like to speak honestly, I´ve to go out. But I´ll be back in 20 mins
-
But I have express here my pov before
-
U think no fee religiously?
-
will share it later
-
Yes/no will do
-
-
-
I like the fee idea, paid in btc (at least for the end user). And used in the major % fro infra, grants and education. And maybe some minnor ammount to burn to reward long term holders. But once main issues are solve.
-
Xcp fee, yes/no
-
Not conditional
-
with all the respect sir, but without conditionals I say no.
-
Well with out conditionals I say yes
-
-
its an anti-squat mechanism. Its just not appropriate. You keep asking, "can I use this hammer to change this light bulb?" and we're saying that's not a good idea...
-
Bla bla bla, replying to a yes/no question with a paragraph
-
More of same repetitiveness
-
But please continue to try
-
I defer to the devs who understand the challenges and scaling solutions.
-
So your gonna stay quiet? I doubt so
-
I feel the community is divided kek. Maybe that's why it keeps going around in circles.
-
You guys need to go and enjoy the weekend in the real world. Everyone just going round in circles now
-
I do agree. More important things to do. Later.
-
To me the only reason I understand adding the fees is everyone's personal choice between if they should or not from a personal understanding of counterparty.
In terms of "spam" I think is useless, apart from the fact that it could be made transparent to the 10k mint users by the minting services (re:"spam" - the "10k mints" assets are completely valid assets in every sense, the only difference with the majority named assets is they have json data instead of an exterrnal URL, both can do both obvs), is the fact that what was being hit wasn't counterparty, was xchain. In terms of protocol there wasn't issues, but new use cases that we may want to embrace or not.
An ¿8GB? database that gets updated once every 10 minutes block shouldn't be the reason (I know is not as simple as that, but database size and management looks like has been the real big issue) to be afraid or blocking all us to grow (How many counterparty vs ordinals assets do exist...?). Should counterparty seek and face improvements in the overall infraestructure (both for the protocol and ecosystem), as to not rely in a closed single explorer, to have more and open source explorers, wallets, etc... Please yes. I think the fork has pushed this further, in terms of active people working on/to/for counterparty is more active than I've ever seen (even founders and original deverlopers are around), it was bigly in part thanks to STAMPs, is now even more due to the xchain fork.
There's also the fact that if the biggest problem for xchain were those 10k PFP minting, lets not forget that BTNS caused the same. And as I'm happy to see src20 currently working out of counterparty, I don't see the need of BTNS either.
I voted no because I don't personally see the need neither feel that numericals should pay a fee, I don't consider them equal assets, named assets are limited, you are paying to own a unique name in a limited namespace. Plus I also believe that STAMPs, that undenniably has been the thing with biggest traction in counterparty in the last 3 years, happened precisely because of the lack of friction with XCP. I consider STAMPs net positive, they have brought attention, builders, artists, collectors, tools, explorers and liquidity.
Just my opinion, obvs -
Yep
-
Completely agree, but I was compiling that unsmokable piece of text, was not gonna leave it unposted
-
😂
-
I'm glad to have been using CP assets instead of ordinals,eth and any other platforms that come/go
-
I say respectful to add fee on numerics
-
The vote is also a good thing, shows what the commons/xcp holders/projects think
-
Cool we weren’t sure what you thought
-
It seems so, people still asking

+1 to this

What is your official position fee/no fee? I've only seen flip/flop

Great choices, love it -
A stopped clock is right twice a day 🐸
-
No not team, not technicalities, all trolling and BS aside, if you was behind a curtain and had to press yes fee or nofee, what would you press
-
No the devs have technical solutions and we need battle test the protocol
-
-
Was gonna say flip flop answer, but you answered politically then personally
-
I respect those that vote no also, when not demanding/trolling/Bs-ing etc
-

See alot of let's shit on CP just because
-
And frw/xchain etc etc
-
-
-
I personally don’t mind, Just so that’s clear.
-
if I say, yess with not conditions. And we just focus on putting a fee, we´ll have this conversation again in 2-6 months. As the issue will persist... not sure why is so difficult to understand this.
-
We’ve been waiting for a fee on your shit for 9+ months🤷🏻♂️
Not sure why this is so difficult to understand 🤷🏻♂️ -
welcome to my pain… sit in it… you’re gonna be here a while, buddy… just like I was

i keep seeing Mike and those guys speak about broadcasts and adding a fee to those.... though, I don't see anywhere in the github for a professional and 'by the book' Counterparty Improvement Proposal on adding fees to broadcasts?
am I missing something here? if you truly keep bringing it up, why don't you point to a CIP?
kinda seems like you guys love to bring it up, but are not even 1% serious to bring it to the table and have dev's discuss it and the place you are supposed to.....
on the OTHER hand, all discussions on the database data restructuring, fee for numerics, possible fee in bitcoin, pbst and so many others are on there....
you guys actually serious about that or just like to bring it up for fun? -

-
Oh my God!!! you guys see the potential to abuse counterparty through broadcasts?!?
Sounds like you guys should bring it up with the devs, start writing some simple code to add the fee, and rally your community and counterpart behind that fee…. Though going to be pretty tough since it’s not causing any problems to counterparty currently. 😜 -
-
maybe we should vote on it instead!
-
-
And I already said, I support a fee on broadcast if they became a problem.
So good luck painting me as a bad guy who doesn’t want broadcast limited when I said, I’m already open to it🤷🏻♂️ -
-
-
-
But I for sure think we should sit around for nine months or more and debate it…. I mean BTNS has a lot of potential…. It’s an open fair mint system as well.
Sure would be a shame to show favoritism to one open fair mint system over another one that just happens to be brought to the table by a rogue developer🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Same rogue developer who showed patience for 9 months while you shit in the sink .
As I said , I had a plan, I executed it, and now I can speak my truth, and call out all the bullshit arguments statements that are coming from people I disagree with🤷🏻♂️ -

Sidenote… I think SRC 721s are really cool…. I disagree with the spamming of numerics… but I for sure think that this is how you should do 10k PFP collections, if you want to do them on counterparty…. Just want them to pay the XCP fee, everyone else pays, and then we’re back on the same page, cooperating, working together, and drama goes away.
Or ignore the issue.🤷🏻♂️

Quick question, what's the rationale behind numeric assets? What are the main reasons behind the design of two naming standards unlike any other domain services who have only one, be it centralized or decentralized ?
-
repost from the dev channel: I'm willing to put a $2000 bounty on someone that could get counterwallet and counterblock all updated to work well (updated deps, fix fee estimation, make sure the bitcoin js libraries they are using don't have serious bugs (which was the case with a version of bitcoinjs), etc). I can specify this out further in a day or so if there is any interest. It's probably 2-3 weeks of work for a talented dev that knows python and javascript/html. I could do it if I had the time, but paying out a bounty will allow another member of the community to get comfortable with the code
-
Wanna get the last missing piece before I cast my XCP vote.
-
-
From my perspective, which may be wrong, numeric assets were added to counterparty, to allow people to try out counterparty and its features, without requiring a xcp “shitcoin”.
TLDR…. To test things out, before using the system with NAMED assets. -
Can the founders confirm this? If this is the case, then to me they're being used not as intended. If the main reason of designing a separate free naming standard just for "demo" then it's a very important point and would settle it for me, regardless whether it prevents spam or not.
It could have been 1 standard with fees and we probably wouldn't be having this convo.
Can we somehow get the founders' opinion on this? And whether this was the actual reason behind this design? -
I was always led to believe they were to work as high use serialized units and not free 'testnet on mainnet' assets
-
The original thesis was stock market and shares type usage and not art tokens
-
Aha I see, makes sense.
Would need more time to think, never been more indecisive than I am now. -

CIP Proposal - Open the 'A' Namespace
This thread is about a potential CIP that would allow for non-numeric ‘A’ asset names. I have some code that I think covers most of it here, for review and feedback: Result: Non-numeric asset names starting with ‘A’ are valid. Check that assets are numeric rather than “Starts with ‘A’” Todos: Testnet tx fixture for parsing.

I’m sure there are better ways, just want to start the debate. Let’s define ASSET as an alphabetic asset issued with the current naming rules,e.g. MYASSET. Let’s define SUBASSET as an asset with name on format [ASSET NAME]-[EXTENSION], e.g. MYASSET-ONE. To issue a SUBASSET you must be the current owner of [ASSET NAME], e.g. only the owner of MYASSET can issue MYASSET-ONE. There is no XCP fee for issuing a SUBASS...
