Counterwalletd Preview thread

One enhancement request, you might want to consider for later versions of the wallet.
Ability to add a Watch only address and being notified on deposits/withdrawals to it.
This will be really useful for cold storage of XCP.

[font=arial][size=1em]Status update[/size][/font]

[size=1em]Making a lot of progress. Got the following working:[/size]
[size=1em]* Balance page (shows assets functionality)[/size]
[size=1em]* Basic Dex functionality (trading any two arbitrary assets)[/size]
[size=1em]* History page (showing txn history and balance chart)[/size]
[size=1em]* Asset operations (creating asset, locking an asset, paying dividends, etc) are in and working[/size]
[size=1em]* Chat panel (like btc-e’s trollbox)[/size]
[size=1em]* Interface for “priming” an account (e.g. creating small bitcoin txouts so that you can do counterparty operations) is in, as well as showing the number of suitable txouts for each address[/size]
[size=1em]* Message signing (can produce a signed message from an address in your wallet and show it in base64 or hex format)[/size]
[size=1em]* Show a QR code for an address[/size]
[size=1em]* Sending funds (of course :slight_smile: [/size]
[size=1em]* Private key import, can “sweep” in multiple assets, including BTC. Appears to work.[/size]
[size=1em]* Move from electrum deterministic wallet to libbitcoinjs-lib’s new HDwallet (BIP32) implementation[/size]

[size=1em]Written but need to finish testing:[/size]
[size=1em]* counterpartyd realtime message feed support (showing new messages, e.g. balance changes, etc as new blocks are confirmed, without a screen refresh)…still testing this (goal for today is to finish this up)[/size]
[size=1em]* The portfolio page is basically working but we need more test data (e.g. people creating and trading assets) to get any kind of useful feedback on it[/size]

[size=1em]Not written:[/size]
[size=1em]* Block reorg support in counterwalletd: Phantom recently added message feed support for showing when a reorg happened. I just need to hook this into counterwalletd. Not a big deal.[/size]
[size=1em]* Asset description change: Working with Phantom to get support for this into counterparty’s API[/size]

[size=1em]I’m aiming for a small private release this weekend on testnet, followed by a public release on testnet in a few days after, once we’re sure there are no big issues. However, as blockchain.info doesn’t support testnet (just found this out yesterday), that may delay things by a few days, and it will reduce the functionality we offer on testnet…definitely threw a cog into the wheel. (The medium term plan is most likely for counterpartyd to move to libbitcoin, which will allow us to get rid of having to use blockchain’s API for certain things, as well as remove counterpartyd’s dependency on bitcoind.)[/size]

[size=1em]Regarding testnet: Testnet support is proving to be challenging in some ways. I added support into counterwallet and counterwalletd, and I also submitted multiple pulls to bitcoinjs-lib to enhance their testnet support. We do believe releasing on testnet is the more prudent thing to do, but in some ways it’s the “forgotten stepchild” of Bitcoin, from a support perspective in a number of bitcoin products and services.[/size]

[size=1em]The code will be made public on github at the time of the public release.[/size]

Great work! Thanks very much! We have enough time to wait the web wallet.

thanks for update    if Counterparty team need a Chinese version for the web wallet    We can help with that.

I can’t believe I’m advocating this but if test net is proving to be unlike main net then there’s not much use in having an extended period of testing on test net.

Nah they’re actually very similar functionality wise. It will be a good test of the system, and we feel better about not putting real funds on the line day 1.

Thank you. It will be English only at first, but localization support is a planned feature. Chinese will no doubt be one of the first (if not the first) languages we’d want added.

Great idea. I’ll add it to the planned features list.

I can do French translation, so you can leave Jah working on the GUI  ;D

Any update?  LTBcoin is basically waiting on this.

We’re currently testing Counterwallet internally. It should be out in a couple of weeks.

That is, it should be out on mainnet in a few weeks. It will be available for testing much sooner.

We’ll be launching at the end of this month, if Counterparty is ready for us that’ll be the platform. 

Adam that is great news. Looking forward to using the LTBCoin (on top of the counterparty protocol).

We should be. Things are moving along nicely. We’ll have a blog post with more screenshots Monday, and (unless we find any serious issues) should have the public beta on testnet early/mid this upcoming week. Once things look good there, we’ll open it on mainnet.

If you will need Hebrew or Russian translation, I can do it.

Isn’t Counterparty ready now? But if it isn’t  - DogeParty should be launching in two weeks.

While the doges and dog shit coins are having party, counterparty is only dreaming. Weekend is approaching, no sign of counterwallet.

Git clone https://github.com/xnova/counterpartyd_build
sudo python ./counterpartyd_build/setup.py 

>? 

I’m curious. Why is LTBcoin waiting for the counterwallet to come out. Can’t they set everything up now? I’m probably missing something. someone fill me in?

Coz they don’t want LTBcoin users to through all the hassle of setting up counterpartyd abd reindexing blockchain.

I doubt that counterwallet will be available before the end of this month.
