Hey guys someone on twitter is asking what are the minimum requirement to run counterparty node. I checked the doc but there is no info about that. Do you guys have an idea ?

4 cores, 16GB of RAM, 2 TB of disk space (for now)

Thanks !

Hello everyone! I was recommended to come here regarding a question I’m having

So I used the Counterparty Wallet for some low-value Spells of genesis cards, and I *think* I only accessed the wallet using the hyperlink/quick access + a password

Now that the website is down, and the link obviously broken, are my cards gone forever? 😅

Nope you’re good !
Do you have the seed phrase !!

I can't figure out how to use this:
https://counterpartycore.docs.apiary.io/#/reference/bitcoin/sendrawtransaction

Any examples or tips, like what content type or format it needs

I believe this will do it:
curl 'https://api.counterparty.io:14000/v2/transactions/info?verbose=true&rawtransaction={rawtransaction}'

hmm, ive been doing v2/bitcoin/transactions

im trying to broadcast a signed tx

ive been posting it maybe its a get

Hi Dan

Seems like finicky api issues all around ? Why is that ?

The api is fine, this is just not documented fully

Same here !!I thought I screwed something up hahah

Oh I see it was not accepting jsons
Then I waiting 3 hours and bingo ?

I think it’s a GET yeah

Sorry I’ll shut up !!

Morning CODY.

It's a post request but its like not working idk it says i didnt pass a signed hex when i did, ill use some of the free services for now i was just getting rate limited.

This is how I broadcast transactions and have never had any issues.

On the transaction info endpoint you get request a raw unsigned tx to broadcast it?

im using blockcypher and blockstream now and it works, ill circle back to this later

Making a little trading bot to be like a crude market maker

i'll get the raw unsigned tx from whatever transaction I just composed, the use bitcoinjs to sign, then use the transactions?signedhex= endpoint to broadcast

this but its bitcoin/transactions?signedhex=

I think /bitcoin is not required here

thats the endpoint that worked for me in 10.2

maybe its changed

405 - Method Not Allowed when I get request that endpoint

Request failed with status code 400 { error: 'Missing required parameter: signedhex' } if I do a post request with a signedhex.

const url = `${process.env.COUNTERPARTY_REST_API_URL}bitcoin/transactions?signedhex=${encodeURIComponent(hex)}`;

const requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
};

const res = await fetch(url, requestOptions)
const data = await res.json()
return data
}

this works for me

I think it works now idk weird

Thanks

ok so its like sort of a get and a post at the same time

thats funny

Joe scared it into submission

There are issues on the github that mention this and im trying restarting addrindexrs, getting this off a compose tx:

Error broadcasting with Counterparty API: Request failed with status code 400 { error: 'bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent' }

muh botttt

And if you take a request like this:
https://api.counterparty.io:4000/v2/addresses/1BotYtbVsVG9HHH8y3wF3pavaYS9upU2BB/compose/order?address=1BotYtbVsVG9HHH8y3wF3pavaYS9upU2BB&give_asset=BITCORN&give_quantity=13440&get_asset=XCP&get_quantity=3571680000&expiration=8064&fee_per_kb=3000&fee_required=0&allow_unconfirmed_inputs=1

Sometimes it will give you a result, but if you reload it a few times you'll get:
"error": "Insufficient BTC at address".

So I'm encountering issues at the compose and the signing steps.

yup, sounds like AddrIndexRs being broken again :/ we're getting rid of it asap!

* Free Subassets
* Subassets on Numeric Assets
* Be Able to Lock Descriptions

Any news on the counterparty erm.. party in Miami? Anyone going?

Bitcoin backed asset for sale

This is dev chat, not shill yer tokens chat

Sorry brother

This makes me wanna buy one though.. 🤣🤣🤣

I’ll know you’re sorry when it’s all gone from above

Remember the old days 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I need a dev to build a app that’s another reason I posted it

Do you pay?

Yes I do

Dm me.. 🤷 I am very expensive and quite lazy tho fyi (not joke)

I appreciate the work you have put into asset creation recently 🙏

@Nywra_Ekaf thank you very much for the offer

Hello friends. Can anyone comment / or debunk this statement that was made in NFT relics the other day? I feel like having some off chain dependencies are no biggie—as everything else in the world depends on some social consensus—I just specifically want to hear/learn how XCP is one-player-dependent or whatever that guy is saying

I tried pasting in the URL (https://wallet.counterwallet.io/#/cp=blablabla), and my password but it gives me an error, Invalid password. I’m quite sure, like 99.9% sure the password is correct, so do you or anyone here have any tips? It’s not the end of the world, the wallet only has like $500, but still would be cool to access it. If it’s lost it’s totally on me though, and I appreciate jdog for making a tool like this! See you around, everyone, and have a great weekend ☺️🙏

Need sweepers in here haha

Bitcoin solved the double spend problem. Counterparty wouldn't work without it.

They mix this with consensus, which is strengthened by the network (not by mining or the blockchain). Although Counterparty is relatively small, it is very secure since we have opposing fractions: OG devs, xchain, stamps, rare pepe, sog, etc. Basic game theory is that everyone want to follow the majority to avoid forks. I'd argue Counterparty is safer than Ethereum which is essentially a one person cult.

Thanks for the answer! Appreciate it

Also, a block explorer is needed to determine who owns what. Nobody reads raw block data to decipher this. And as we know, block explorers are off-chain.

But one can look at the Ethereum blockchain and see who owns what, no? Whereas with counterparty one have to agree on some "rules"? And if I understand the criticism correctly (ref the screenshot), the rules can change — and just changed. But what’s the concern with OP_return vs utxos? Is it different ways to determine ownership? Sorry for my very noobish questions btw

counterparty is a federated system, it only talks to bitcoin and not other counterparty nodes, all tx history is on-chain so if the devs ever decided to “re-write history” people just wouldn’t run that version

it would be like if eth updated to rollback the balance of an address, which they actually did with the DAO hack, so anyone thats telling you eth is somehow immune to re-writing history ask them why ETH Classic exists

this is so retarded its hard to believe this person understands blockchains at all

what is funny is that counterparty actually had a moment in January this year where users had to actively decide not to run a new version and the reason was much less damaging than a re-write of history

with the announcement of v10.4 counterparty also gets a sort of off-ramp from future consensus rules by binding assets to UTXOs

Appreciate the discussion and thorough answers here! 🙌 Thanks all

Are there any fairmints on like testnet, im trying to code against the api docs but was wondering

Testnet fees are so high it’s hard to test against

In the 10.4 release, there’s a script for spinning up a regtest node, and there are docs along with it

My only note on fairmints is calling them fairmints. Mints seems fine. I can make unfair fairmints lol.

I’m calling them Minters and Mints in my ui.

If I set commission to 1, do I get all the minted supply?

What’s an asset_parent

How do I differentiate whether it’s BTC or XCP is it by having no price?

Hello, I'm looking for the activation block for 10.4 but I'm not able to find it

https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-core/blob/master/counterparty-core/counterpartycore/protocol_changes.json

866,000

Who decided that it was a good idea to make such a drastic change that it can effect all users since 2015?

What?

I wonder what kind of damages can occur from a re write of history?

No one is rewriting history
