The explorer seemed to indicate that burns with different inputs or more than one output to non-sending address were invalid. The only definitive confirmation though is to check the counterpatyd client.

PS The explorer seems to be down, last time I checked.

PSS I think it wouldn't be hard to programmatically check every address you get from that table with counterpartyd, and get the burn amount. In fact, an even easier way is to check the counterpartyd logfile, which has a pretty structured log syntax that you can turn into data with a few string commands. Of course this will require running bitcoind and counterpartyd on your remote server.

Example from log file:

Have fixed. Now the only requirement is 1) all input addresses are the same. 2) the first output goes to the burn address. 3) Not exceeding 1 BTC limit.

What does it mean when we say Initialize Balances? It may not be clear from the initial introduction above and it does sound like a new concept.

It's not a new concept. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_burn. Certainly, it's similar to what Nxt and Mastercoin did (but better).

Right now no one owns any XCP, which we need a "fair, distributed and transparent" way of creating and distributing. Requiring people to publicly "destroy" BTC is a good way of doing that.

and then?

Can feeds or bets _automatically_ reference the price of an asset in open orders or last trade?

Hey guys even i'm curious about this...can the devs clarify this? thx

No, they cannot. The values of feeds are, as it were, manually chosen, and bets are made only on feeds. Of course, you can script counterpartyd to do whatever you want here.

great thx for the clarification.

Quote from: BiggestFish on January 09, 2014, 04:33:53 AM

In order to allow for wider distribution, why not allow for a longer burning time period with exponentially decaying rewards to burning?

The short IPO period seems arbitrary and designed to create scarcity. I understand the need to incentivize early adopters, but I think it's important for liquidity and long-term stability to allow late adopters to burn as well.

As an analogy, GPU miners are what caused the scrypt altcoin scene to flourish. And in a proof-of-burn scheme, burnt coins = mining rigs. People need to feel like they can acquire a fair stake in a new coin without having to buy coins from early adopters and feel like they've been pump-and-dumped.

Although this could be a good idea, but once the first investor burnt some BTC the contract should have been finalized. It will be unfair to people already burnt BTC if the contract is changed now.

In that case, I would have to respectfully disagree. While exponential decay of rewards allows distribution by PoB to continue, it either ends up a) putting an artificial constraint on price or b) unfairly dilutes early contributors. For a continuous PoB scheme, I'm not sure that any distribution would manage to satisfy both early and late investors (correct me if I'm wrong). The establishment of a market to trade the coins along with useful services is more likely to foster adoption.

I agree there is no distribution that would satisfy everyone.

In terms of participation, so far 335.9079 BTC has been burnt. Ignoring the USD/BTC rate, how does this compare with the initial offerings from NXT and Mastercoin?

It is impossible to know how many different people have burnt BTC for XCP though...

I agree, it would be unfair to change the terms of the contract now. But once the idea is out of the bag there is nothing stopping someone from forking the code and making a version with longer proof-of-burn. And that widely-distributed version will eventually win out given its wider adoption base.

Innovator's Dilemma FTW

The point of XCP is not the coin, but the distributed exchange. If Counterparty can be the first distributed exchange in the market, it will attract many issuers. Coins can be copied easily, but not the exchange. Therefore, the key is to launch the exchange as soon as possible.

according to the instruction Without using counterpartydhttp://counterpartyd-build.readthedocs.org/en/latest/HowToBurn.html
e.g,I want to burn 1BTC from address A,so I should set the X=0.9999BTC, and set Miners fee=0.0001 BTC.

Code:

If you want to burn X BTC (where X <= 1 BTC) from address A, then make sure that there is exactly X + .001 BTC in address A

Why A addresss is exactly X + .001 BTC other than X + .0001 BTC(fee) ?
So what should I set the X and the fee?
Many thanks.

I think that's a typo, but I am not the authority.

It's safe to set X <= 1 and any miner fee >= 0.0001

It is a typo. It was fixed earlier this morning but for some reason the docs at readthedocs.org didn't rebuild. I just did a manual rebuild. Thanks for catching that.

Yes, both counterpartyd and bitcoind must not be on test net.
