- I configured Bitcoin-Qt with Counterpartyd - I want to load a some XCPs into my Bitcoin-QT I read how it’s done by importing a wallet’s private key from elsewhere. Is it not possible to create and “create” an empty Counterparty wallet locally, import it to Bitcoin-Qt and send XCPs to this new address? ---

Are you asking whether there is a Desktop version of Counterwallet available? That is actually in the works, though not yet available, I believe. ---

What I am asking is can’t I create an empty wallet on my desktop and then send to it XCP from my online wallet (as opposed to exporting/importing private keys for address  originated on blockchain or somewhere)? If there’s an easier way to create a local XCP wallet, I’d use it (does testnet also require this export/import stuff?). I am just looking for a way to send a very small amount (like 1 XCP) to this testbed to play with XCP and don’t want to import a real wallet with 100+ XCPs here. ---

[/quote] You can simply send XCP to a Bitcoin-Qt address from an address in your web wallet, if that is what you mean? But you obviously can’t send XCP from blockchain.info to Bitcoin-Qt. If you are running counterpartyd locally, you can also make transactions from an address that is not in your Bitcoin-Qt wallet; simply enter the address as your [tt]source[/tt], then Counterpartyd will ask you to enter the private key (make sure it’s in Bitcoin-Qt format), and you’re good to go. Does that help? ---

Yes, that’s what I was aiming at, thank you. Almost there! 🙂
