Also, why not just use an address that goes to the Red Cross or Shawns Outpost or whatever random charity. Since you are just using this as way to limit coin generation why not at least have the BTC go toward something that benefits people, planet, something.



I know it is too late for that obviously.



ok maybe i am missing something here but how do we know that someone does not have the privkey for this address?Also, why not just use an address that goes to the Red Cross or Shawns Outpost or whatever random charity.

Counterparty aims at maximizing trustlessness, i.e. not sending Bitcoins to any address for which someone has the prviate key; even though you have suggested donating to good causes, Bitcoins could only be sent to their addresses at the expense of trustlessness and decentralization.



EDIT: Regarding the unspendability of the Bitcoins in at CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr please see this post: Counterparty aims at maximizing trustlessness, i.e. not sending Bitcoins to any address for which someone has the prviate key; even though you have suggested donating to good causes, Bitcoins could only be sent to their addresses at the expense of trustlessness and decentralization.EDIT: Regarding the unspendability of the Bitcoins in at CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr please see this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395761.msg4317890#msg4317890

Problem before the expected problem:



Code: user@home:~$ xcp send --from=send --from=myaddresswithXCP --quantity=1 --asset=XCP --to=safeBTCaddress

Confirm? (y/N) y

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/user/counterpartyd_build/dist/counterpartyd/counterpartyd.py", line 426, in <module>

json_print(bitcoin.transmit(unsigned_tx_hex))

File "/home/user/counterpartyd_build/dist/counterpartyd/lib/bitcoin.py", line 260, in transmit

return rpc('sendrawtransaction', [signed_tx_hex])

File "/home/user/counterpartyd_build/dist/counterpartyd/lib/bitcoin.py", line 64, in rpc

raise exceptions.BitcoindError('{}'.format(error))

lib.exceptions.BitcoindError: {'code': -22, 'message': 'TX rejected'} Same error without the --from=send



I expected the command to work,

but then never see the XCP arrive in my safeaddress 'coz even Eligius doesn't process OP_RETURN before v0.9.

So I kind of willingly risked to lose 1XCP, but fail.

(curious: does anyone know an easy way to cancel a transmission that has never been confirmed? be BTC, XCP or whatever)



Did anyone succeed using the send command?

Must have someone who tried before Eligius stopped, or on testnet.

What do I do wrong?



edit: tried to add -paytxfee=0.0001 (error: unrecognized arguments)



Code improvement needed: 'doesn't show BTC balance ? ? ?

Code: xcp address myXCPaddresswithBTC

Last edit: January 06, 2014, 10:20:46 AM by BitThink #397 May I ask a question about the developer's incentive.



Proof by burn does increase the trust level, but how about the incentive? Have the developers already burned enough BTC to get their shares, or have the developers reserved certain part of XCP for themselves? If not, how can we be sure the developers will concentrate on this project and try their best to improve the value of XCP?
