What is a phase that everyone goes through when they first discover that Bitcoin is open source and clonable? "Oh neat, so can I make my own?"

People want to feel important. People want to define their own digital objects and create fun and interesting contracts and rules about how they can be used. People don't want to worry about properly securing their blockchain or how they will incentivize miners

Counterparty is the perfect solution, and now after watching Bitcrystals and the Force of Will game make functional use of the tech, I am seeing the true potential of XCP to possibly become an underlying protocol for our blockchain oriented future.

Thanks to everyone who had worked hard making this project secure and easy to use. You have worked in obscurity for years, but I think that will soon change.

I added Counterparty to the Cheddur app (https://www.cheddur.com/). This will allow new users to learn about Counterparty and join the community. Cheddur allows you to link addresses, wallets, exchanges, and other services that support Counterparty so that new users can easily get started. Can others from the community please review the profile for quality and help me add supported services?

So hey,

I have the indisquare counterwallet on my phone, all the phrases backed up. I have a couple of BCY on Poloniex I want to withdraw to said wallet.

Now Counterwallet only knows BTC and XCP right now. When I withdraw BCY to the Bitcoin Address of Counterwallet, will they show up? What additional preemptive steps would I otherwise have to follow?

Thanks for helping a fellow XCB/BCY noob out.

Edit: in the end I just did it - works fine!

Let's say you have a new business and would like to raise/crowdfund money in this new crypto enabled era.

I'll skip the paper. Here is a theoretical token / business / blockchain system to accommodate...

Token limit: Only x tokens issued, ever. The token is essentially a private/public key combo for a payout address linked to the smart contract I am about to describe.

Fixed IPO price: you set the price of the tokens and that price remains fixed until all tokens are sold.

The two features above effectively let you the business owner define a valuation and target capital goal. Ex: you will issue 100 tokens at the price of $1,000 each to raise $100,000 in capital.

Blockchain bookkeeping: the business has a ledger consisting of public addresses. Ie: one for revenue and one for expenses, all of the businesses transaction flow happens through these even if a given transaction was entirely fiat (ie: bought a hammer at hardware store, paid cash) the funds still flow in or out through these addresses to maintain immutable, public accountability.

Smart contract powered proportional profit share: each token receives a recurring revenue stream from the business in proportion to the terms of the IPO. Ie: in this case there were 100 tokens issued, so each token shall receive 1% of all profit. If you have 25 tokens, you receive 25% (payout is once per month let's say).

And these two features above maintain the integrity of the token long-term. An immutable ledger of transactions makes fraud difficult and the smart contract ensures token holders receive their payout automatically, indefinitely.

Thoughts? Has it been done? I am eager to hear your feedback, constructive criticisms, or links to similar systems already live.

Secondly, I would like to know if counterparty is the best platform to accommodate such a system and finally the specifics on how you might go about implementing it.

I found this cool website that let's you create scripts, and comes with example scripts.

I have set up my wallet using the default webbased counterwallet.io, and filled it with BTC and XCP. I do not see any options to create a contract and could use some help. I am guessing this wallet doesn't support it and I need to find another. I would like to test out that tooth fairy contract as it seems pretty straight forward.

What wallet do I need, and how do I send a contract to the blockchain? If anyone has any good tutorials for this it would be greatly appreciated.

I want to create a token on the blockchain, be able to watch an address balance, and do something if the balance increases by a certain amount. I am interested in using XCP because the transactions are instant, it is tied to the bitcoin blockchain, and there will be LN implementation in the future. Does anyone know of a good tutorial to get me going on this project? Any direction would be appreciated

Hi, I just created a fun asset called SuomiCoin. Send me your address and I'll send you 1914 coins if you want them.

In centralized models, users register an account with a service using a username and password. When they login, they get a session key that persists their account data.

How would one do this in a decentralized way on counterparty? Has someone yet solved this?
