The only file I edited was the Counterpartyd conf to change the rpc password. The actual send command I used was counterpartyd send --from=[XXXXxx] --to=[XXXXX] --asset=XCP --quantity=100 What would you suggest?

[/quote] I think you’re using some sort of batch file. Can you post the contents of it? It seems like your command syntax is incorrect. [/quote] FYI, on windows, using the build system, “counterpartyd” actually runs a batch file called counterpartyd.bat in C:\windows, which will proxy the command to run.py in the C:\counterpartyd\_build\ directory. I added this so that we wouldn’t have to manually run run.py on Windows, with different semantics than on Linux. ---

I finally got through the counterpartyd build instructions and ran “counterpartyd server” at the command line. It proceeded to count through blocks from 278xxx all the way to the current 287xxx block, which took several hours. During that time, I tried using the send command to test things out and see if I could send any XCP. I kept getting an error that the database was not up to date. So I let the entire block count finish and then tried again. It then bitched at me that I wasn’t running the latest version. OK. So I ran C:\Python32\python.exe setup.py update and then ran counterpartyd server again. And once again, it started counting blocks, all the way back from 278xxx… I then killed the process because I’m simply not going to watch this damn thing count all the blocks all over again for another twelve hours. What the heck am I doing wrong here? I’ve been trying to set this system up for days so I can send XCP. That’s all I want to do–just use the counterpartyd send command. ---

[/quote] Due to the security fixes, there have been a number of complete rebuilds required. This is not “normal” and it should be settling down shortly, with just a reparse necessary on some of the updates. The reason a rebuild takes so long is largely due to the fact that when rebuilding, counterpartyd essentially has to make an API call for every single transaction on the blockchain, as it rebuilds its database. Phantom looked into an intermediate database option, where we would store all multisig/OP\_RETURN txns (there aren’t many and most are counterparty txns actually) in the counterpartyd DB, and then do all but the full, full rebuilds off of that). We sided against that for now as it would add complexity. It may happen in the future…depends on a number of factors. ---

Whenever I try to place an order, I get this message: Traceback (most recent call last): File “C:\Git\cmd\dist\counterpartyd\counterpartyd.py”, line 419, in bitcoin.bitcoind\_check(db) File “C:\Git\cmd\dist\counterpartyd\lib\bitcoin.py”, line 40, in bitcoind\_ch k block\_count = rpc(‘getblockcount’, []) File “C:\Git\cmd\dist\counterpartyd\lib\bitcoin.py”, line 120, in rpc raise exceptions.BitcoindError(’{}’.format(response\_json[‘error’])) lib.exceptions.BitcoindError: {‘code’: -32601, ‘message’: ‘Method not found’} Does this mean that I need to download more blocks through Bitcoind? I noticed that Bitcoind stopped downloading blocks after block 287246, but Counterparty synced up to this same block number and stopped. Do both Bitcoind and Counteryparty need to be synced up to the latest block in realtime? Also, is it possible to speed up the sync process by renaming the database file from the Counterparty app directory to the latest one? PhantomPhreak keeps churning out new releases and while that’s awesome, my computer is too slow (I’m too embarrassed to even state the specs) to sync up that by the time I finally catch up and try to place an order… there’s a new version of Counteryparty. So that leads me to my last question: Is the Counterparty sync process a CPU or RAM intensive activity or does it not matter?
